Why Now: A Century of Healing, Built for Every Day
Aquaphor Healing Ointment – a proprietary formula of seven ingredients – became a medicine-cabinet staple through clinical results, from dry, cracked-skin repair to minor, in-office post-procedure care to the slugging trend that made it a Gen Z skincare favorite. But consumers have been asking for more. An Aquaphor study found that 70% of women experience skin sensitivity*, and the daily moisturizer category has been dominated by brands that prioritize either hydration or lightness. With the Hydrating Daily Lotion and Moisturizing Cream, Aquaphor delivers what the category has been missing: intense hydration in a lightweight formula, that absorbs quickly, doesn't clog pores and is backed by a century of dermatological science.

"Aquaphor has been known as an ointment for a long time – and now we are entering a new era," said Patricia Popowich, Brand Director of Aquaphor at Beiersdorf. "It took us years to perfect these formulas, and the result is an Aquaphor you've never seen before: a gentle skincare line that is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and suitable for everyone with normal to dry, sensitive skin, especially for Gen Z and Millennial consumers who may be more likely to experience some type of skin reactivity. We couldn't have done it without our Beiersdorf dermatologist advisors who tested and gave us feedback throughout this process. As a therapeutic skincare brand, Aquaphor's credibility starts at the dermatologist's office – and their recommendations have made us the leader we are today."

The Science: Ingredients Drawn From Aquaphor's Healing Heritage
Both formulas are enriched with a purposeful blend of ingredients drawn from Aquaphor's healing heritage:

• Hyaluronic Acid – helps draw moisture into the skin
• 3 Essential Ceramides – supports the skin's moisture barrier
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5) – found in the iconic Aquaphor Healing Ointment, helps to condition the skin
• Bisabolol – also found in Aquaphor Healing Ointment, helps to soothe the skin
• Glycerin – provides long-lasting moisture
• Vitamin E – helps to nourish skin
• Shea Butter (Cream only) – for deep moisture

In clinical testing, both products demonstrated immediate improvement in skin dryness, moisturization and roughness within 15 minutes of a single application, with hydration sustained through 72 hours for the Lotion and 48 hours for the Cream.** The Cream also delivered a 50% improvement in tactile roughness from the first application.***

"Consumers today aren't willing to choose between skincare that performs and skincare that feels good to use every day – they expect both," added Popowich. "We engineered these formulas around that expectation, bringing the trust people already place in Aquaphor into their daily wellness routines."
