This is brilliant at healing - for 60+ years. Nothing better.
My grandmother used this, my mother used this, I used it & my three adult sons wouldn't live without it. Nothing heals so quickly for off the shelf products. I don't know why it isn't more popular. I have to order it in at my pharmacy. I am using it today to heal my severely sunburnt lip.

I literally can't live without Ungvita
I have Lichen Sclerosis and use this every day morning and night. It is the only product that not only eases the condition but doesn't sting or burn when applied. The only drawback is it doesn't come in a small tub, the tube isn't enough for me as I use twice per day, 7 days per week, every day of the year.
I hope the manufacturer sees this as many people have this auto immune condition and use Ungvita ointment.

A Must Have Ointment in your Medicine Cabinet.
I'm in my 70's and Ungvita has been close to a lifelong companion. My main use for it has been in healing wounds... everything from those nigly little paper cuts to surgical aftermaths. For a cut on a finger, apply a tiny smear to the wound then wrap with micropore tape... to keep the Ungvita on and to protect your clothes or sheets. It is a little oily. In twenty minutes, you'll have forgotten the pain and by the next day, it will be almost healed. I find it marvellous as a healing agent for any open wounds ... it's quick, pain-free, inexpen
... Read moresive and it's easy to have on hand. I've had a lot of surgery for skin-cancer and many of my wound sites and scar lines are invisible... I think largely due to the use of Ungvita. I hadn't thought of it as a cosmetic aid till reading other reviews but having done so, I'm not surprised. I share the enthusiasm others are offering... it's one of those Wonder Products that everyone should have on hand. Thankyou Bayer for Ungvita!- Skin Type: Dry Skin

Gentlest ointment out there
I used Ungvita exclusively for my babies nappy rashes and it never stung or caused a skin reaction. My babies are now parents and have used other products on their babies. I still always have Ungvita in the cupboard, but recently tried one of the alternative ointments recommended for nappy rash on myself. It was not as painless as Ungvita. All babies deserve the least painful option on their delicate skin.

Ungvita - TOP must have in your home!
Ungvita Ointment has to be one of the TOP must haves in your home. I use on my face when I have had a breakout and used my Differin (adapalene) Gel. The Differin Gel dries out the skin therefore you need something to help slough of the dead cells and Ungvita does this. It also helps the healing process.
I have used Ungvita successfully for over 65 years
I have used Ungvita successfully for over 65 years. As a child I noticed the cod liver oil smell but liked it because it worked "like magic" (my words in the 1950s) on my cuts and grazes. A few years ago I bought a "lower smell" version of it but found it was not as effective so I went back to the smelly version. I bought a new tube recently and was pleased to see it was still available. I know of nothing else that comes near its rapid healing qualities. I am surprised this aspect is not prominently written on the tube and container.

Reduces scar
I used it on my scar ( 7 stitches on my face) help heal and scar is hardly visible. It’s fabulous,
I used ungvita in the morning and before bed, and during day , almost like usual get lip balm , constant applying it on the wound.
Can't recommend enough - Great for fine lines and wrinkles.
Purchased this just recently (used to use it 30 years ago) for dry skin.
Used a small pea sized amount on my face and after 3 days noticed a change in fine lines and wrinkles. Am now sold on it and apply a thin layer every night, will always have a tube on hand.
#1 for facial wrinkles and clarity
Been using this product on my face for 20+ years. I am always in the sun, tanning, long summers and dry winters.Never used sunblock - should look 65, but people think Im in my 30's, Im 46 years old. This is a true miracle cream if you give it a chance. Very tiny amount the size of a peppercorn rubbed in morning and night.

Ungvita
I was using it in the 60's to heal wounds on my horses. Vet recommendation - worked a treat. I am still using it today in the house but also outside on the horses.
Family tradition
I am nearly 67 years old and have been using ungvita all my life. My parents used this product . All my children have a tube of ungvita it is magnificent for cuts , blisters , burns cracked heals and it usually takes soreness away from wounds in a hour after applying this product. I have various stories of when I have used ungvita and would love to know when this product was invented.
Skin Saver
What stands out from this product is actually the smell. Pungent to most people with its fishy aroma (since Vitamin A is usually derived from Cod fish). However, the consistency and the texture of the ointment is perfect for almost everything from preventing and reducing fine lines and wrinkles, cracked heels and nipples, rough knees and elbows. In my case, I had used to promote the skin healing of my very prone eczema spots. I would recommend to use this during night time while you sleep, and wash it of via bath or shower within the next morning as the smell can be noticeable in public. I still give it 5/5 because it has been a huge help to my skin.
Questions & Answers
Can I used for tattoo
What is the length of time to keep Ungvita before it's too old to use?
In my experience, it lasts indefinitely. I apply it to any skin abrasion that feels sore, is showing raw flesh, or is like a paper cut, and within hours, the pain has gone and the healing is beginning.
However, I use it sparingly, as in a thin layer, which I'll often cover with macropore tape so it doesn't rub off easily.
For this reason, a tube lasts a long time. I'm just coming to the end of one I have had for a couple of years.
If I had to have just one thing in a first aid kit, it would be Ungvita!

Does this ointment help fungal skin infections
I wrote the review, I use it everyday for an autoimmune skin disorder. I don't know if it would help for a fungal infection, however as it's used for babies nappy rash I would consider it safe to give it a try, it works brilliantly for me.
In my experience, it isn't helpful with fungal infections, until the fungus has been dealt with. Hydrosol is what you want to fix that. Just a little goes a long way.
