I try a lot of beauty and skincare products, and while I love versatile, multi-use formulas, I rarely find one that can do it all. A few years ago, I bought my first tube of Webber First Aid Ointment after a friend recommended it to me for tattoo aftercare. I was so impressed with how my new ink healed; it’s become a go-to solution every time I add to my body art collection. Through the years, I’ve used it as lip balm, skin salve, and burn aftercare, and it’s never let me down, so I figured you should know all about it, too.

My experience using Webber First Aid Ointment

Before discovering Webber First Aid Ointment, I was using Aquaphor to heal new tattoos. While it is a tried-and-true option, a friend had recommended I try it, so I figured it was worth a go. Upon first squeeze, I knew I was going to like it better.

To start, the formula is lightweight, and it instantly makes my skin look and feel moisturized. And while it packs a big punch in the hydration department, it’s way less greasy than Aquaphor and Vaseline, which makes application easier. It melts in faster, too, and I never have to worry about marks on my clothes where my skin touches the fabric.

What really makes this product a winner is its versatility. I have used it to help heal the chapped skin around my nose during cold, dry winters, and flaky lips after a day in the sun. It’s also come in handy for treating minor burns. Since it’s loaded with healing vitamin E, it’s helped with scars, stretch marks, and other marks on my skin, too — they have all decreased since I started using it.

As I said before, it’s become a staple for my tattoo aftercare, which falls into the scar category. I love that it keeps my body art moisturized during the healing process, which is essential. It keeps them protected and helps with itching and flaking. That means my tattoos will look better for longer.

The Webber First Aid Ointment has become an essential in my beauty and skincare routine, and I buy a new tube whenever I run out. Since you only need to use a little bit, each tube lasts a long time. Luckily, it’s never more than $15, so I’m always happy to repurchase.

Is the Webber First Aid Ointment worth it?

Absolutely! It’s versatile, high-quality, and comes at an affordable price point. In my opinion, it works better than Aquaphor, and I’ve seen/felt results faster. It’ll probably become a medicine cabinet staple in your household, too!
