Yes. Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment is safe to use after laser treatment or a chemical peel and will speed up skin regeneration. If you have open wounds on your skin, wait until it has fully re-epithelialized (i. e. when new tissue has formed) before you apply the ointment. If you are in any doubt ask your dermatologist for advice.

Will the ointment help with cracked skin on my hands and damaged cuticles?

Yes. Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment is ideal for softening and soothing cracked skin on your hands. Research has shown that it makes a considerable difference overnight even after just one use.

Panthenol or Dexpanthenol

Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient. Panthenol converts into Pantothenic Acid (a B Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness.

Panthenol/Dexpanthenol is also an effective moisturizer. It improves hydration in the outermost layers of the skin and helps to reduce transepidermal water loss.
