What is EltaMD Laser Balm?
EltaMD Laser Balm is a concentrated, waterless balm for compromised and post-procedure skin. It is built on a simple base of petrolatum, microcrystalline wax and paraffin that melts on contact with the skin and forms an occlusive layer, so very dry, stressed skin holds on to its moisture instead of tightening and flaking. The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, preservative-free and non-comedogenic. Apply it liberally to moist skin and reapply as often as needed, or as directed by the professional who performed your treatment. Available at SkinCrew in 3.8 oz ($44).
Sourced direct from EltaMD: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
After a resurfacing or laser treatment, skin can feel tight, dry and uncomfortable for days, and the surface tends to dry out and form a crust if it is left uncovered. Most everyday moisturizers are not made for that stage: they contain water, preservatives and fragrance, they absorb quickly and need constant reapplying, and they can sting skin that already feels raw and sensitive.
A minimal balm that keeps recovering skin moist.
Laser Balm leaves out everything that tends to bother fragile skin. There is no water, no preservative system, no fragrance and no dye, only a petrolatum and wax base that melts as it touches the skin and stays put as a protective, moisture-sealing layer. EltaMD states that it keeps compromised skin moist and helps prevent crusting while it recovers.

EltaMD Laser Balm: a waterless balm that keeps post-procedure skin moist
EltaMD Laser Balm is the brand's concentrated balm for the days after a professional skin treatment. Its base of petrolatum, microcrystalline wax and paraffin melts on contact and occludes the surface, which EltaMD says keeps compromised skin moist and helps prevent crusting. Because the formula is waterless and preservative-free, it contains very few ingredients for stressed skin to react to.
EltaMD describes Laser Balm as fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic. It works best applied to moist or dampened skin, and it can be reapplied as often as needed, so it fits into whatever aftercare schedule your provider recommends. It is also useful on very dry patches that need a long-lasting seal. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Laser Balm Stands Out
- Three ingredients. Petrolatum, microcrystalline wax and paraffin are the whole formula, which keeps the list of potential irritants as short as it can be.
- Melts, then seals. The balm softens on contact with warm skin, spreads easily and forms an occlusive layer that holds moisture in.
- Made for post-procedure skin. EltaMD positions it for compromised skin after professional treatments, to keep the surface moist and help prevent crusting.
- Nothing extra. No water, no preservatives, no fragrance, no parabens and no dyes, and EltaMD lists it as non-comedogenic.
| Feature | Laser Balm | Everyday face moisturizers | Plain petroleum jelly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | Petrolatum, microcrystalline wax and paraffin | Water-based cream or lotion | Petrolatum |
| Water and preservatives | None | Contains both | None |
| Fragrance | Fragrance-free | Often fragranced | Usually unscented |
| Texture | Melts on contact, spreads easily | Absorbs quickly | Thick and stiff |
| Made for post-procedure skin | Yes, per EltaMD | Rarely | Not a stated purpose |

What Laser Balm Does
Benefit statements describe the appearance and feel of skin and reflect EltaMD product information. Individual results vary.
Who Laser Balm Is For
A strong match for
- Anyone recovering from a laser or resurfacing treatment
- Compromised or stressed skin that needs a protective seal
- Very dry, flaky patches that ordinary creams do not hold
- People who want a short, fragrance-free ingredient list
Tolerance and skin type
EltaMD describes Laser Balm as fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, preservative-free and non-comedogenic. It is for external use only: keep it out of the eyes, and after a professional treatment follow your provider's aftercare instructions on when to start using it.
How to Use Laser Balm
Laser Balm Ingredient Deep Dive
Petrolatum
The main ingredient. An occlusive that sits on the skin surface and slows water loss, so dry or compromised skin stays moist and supple.
Microcrystalline Wax
A refined wax that gives the balm its body and helps the occlusive layer stay in place on the skin.
Paraffin
A wax that adds to the protective film and helps the balm melt smoothly and spread evenly at skin temperature.
Waterless, Preservative-Free Base
There is no water in the formula, so there are no preservatives, and EltaMD also leaves out fragrance, parabens and dyes.
Full ingredient list. Petrolatum, Microcrystalline Wax, Paraffin. Ingredient lists can change. Refer to the product packaging for the most current list.
How to Use Laser Balm in a Daily Routine
Laser Balm is the final sealing layer in a post-procedure routine. Cleanse gently, apply it to still-damp skin, and once your provider clears you for sunscreen, protect with a gentle mineral SPF.
Step 1: Cleanse Gently
Step 2: Soothe and Seal
Step 3: Protect

EltaMD Laser Balm FAQ
What is EltaMD Laser Balm used for?
Laser Balm is a concentrated balm for compromised and post-procedure skin. It melts on contact and forms an occlusive layer that EltaMD says keeps the skin moist and helps prevent crusting while it recovers after professional treatments such as laser or resurfacing.
How do I apply Laser Balm?
Apply it liberally to moist or slightly damp skin and let it melt into an even layer. Reapply as often as needed. After a professional treatment, follow your provider's instructions on when to start and how often to apply.
What is in EltaMD Laser Balm?
The formula is petrolatum, microcrystalline wax and paraffin. It is waterless and preservative-free, and EltaMD describes it as fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic. With so few ingredients, there is very little in it for stressed skin to react to.
What is the difference between Laser Balm and Moisture Seal?
Both are waterless, preservative-free occlusives. Laser Balm adds microcrystalline wax for a denser balm and is made to keep compromised skin moist after treatments. Moisture Seal is petrolatum and paraffin, made to soothe dry, flaky, intact skin and lock in moisture for up to 24 hours.
Can I use Laser Balm with Enzyme Hydrogel?
Yes, they are both part of EltaMD's post-procedure range. Enzyme Hydrogel is a cooling, water-based gel, and Laser Balm is a waterless sealing balm, so if your provider recommends both, the gel goes on first and the balm goes on top.
Is Laser Balm only for after a procedure?
It is designed for post-procedure skin, but the same occlusive base also helps very dry, tight or flaky areas hold on to moisture. Because it is fragrance-free and preservative-free, it suits sensitive skin that reacts to richer creams.
Is SkinCrew an authorized EltaMD retailer in the US?
Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer and sources every unit directly from EltaMD, so Laser Balm arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
