vaseline will clog your pores for most of you so yeah... for 10h too ?

unless you have picture proof with good lightning then yeah too risky too try

ahhhh forget abt this...fail. the pores actually came back by now -__- they seem smaller but...effect lasted for like ~5 hrs. bad pigmentation is back too -____- not completely but yeah....it looks like its wearing off n will go back to usual bad color by tomorrow? kinda wanna cry now

i just dont get it why it doesnt go for good once it looks like it worked already? whats happening?

if anyone still cares i can show pics of right after wiping off the cream and days before but i dont have pics of exactly yesterday?

Where did you hear about doing that? Yeah. Show pictures

maybe because it covers it and gives you the illusion

same thing for makeup , you can wear makeup and it can make it look like you have no pores

Oh my god your pores are fine

First, to the second poster, although certainly different people have different experiences, vaseline has a comedogenicity rating of 0, and will not clog pores for the vast majority of people when applied in a reasonable way. The whole idea of it being 'occlusive' is not as straightforward as vaseline haters make it out to be.

Second, for the first poster, zinc oxide is anti-inflammatory, so it will reduce redness and make your skin nice TEMPORARILY. It is certainly not going to permanently change your situation overnight. It is what they put in diaper rash cream for the same reasons. However, stop using it without finding the root of the issue, and diaper rash returns, just like facial redness.

Lots of people who have redness use zinc creams to calm it down. I use a zinc based sunscreen (17% zinc oxide), and it works great, but it is not going to permanently change anything from one use.

Best of luck.

@kim

i see but i dont get why redness comes back? does that means my skin has somekinda red pigments in those areas forever now? >< is it possible to get normal skin color pigments back? why isnt skin repairing those places back to normal? how come zinc makes those red pigments go away? err..where do they actually go? P:

nd i did it this night too, 13h this time, absolutely no effect on pores this time at all? but redness went away big time i swear it looks like a normal skin color without any redmarks at all! why it cant just stay like that? x0

Oh my god your pores are fine
