The ointment creates a semi-occlusive, protective barrier on skin which supports the natural transfer of water vapor and oxygen. The ideal environment for skin repair. Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment should only be used on re-epithelialized skin (i.e. once new tissue has formed) and not on open, wet or bleeding wounds.

Keeping a superficial, first-degree burn moisturized with Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment will help to speed up skin regeneration.
