What is QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment?
QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment is a water-free, ceramide-enriched ointment that hydrates and soothes dry, cracked and eczema-prone skin for up to 24 hours — without stinging. It is fragrance-free, preservative-free and non-comedogenic.
What it is used for
- Very dry, cracked and eczema-prone skin
- Dry, cracked lips, hands and feet
- Soothing sensitive skin without the sting of water-based products
How to use
Apply liberally to the face and body as needed and massage in gently, ideally after a bath or shower. For eczema, pair with a gentle soap-free wash.
How it compares to a regular moisturiser
Unlike water-based creams that can sting broken or cracked skin, this water-free ointment forms an occlusive, ceramide-rich barrier that locks in moisture for up to 24 hours without stinging. That makes it well suited to flare-prone eczema, cracked heels and chapped hands where lighter lotions are uncomfortable. For gentler everyday hydration on less-dry skin, a lotion or cream may feel lighter.
