Vaseline : Petroleum Jelly

I have moderate acne even though to me it seems severe sometimes because it seems it never goes all the way away. I'm on oral pills from my derm and have a prescribed topical cream which seems to only work sometimes. Using vaseline helps tremendously, I used it for about a month and hardly had any acne, then I went off of it and after a month I have it bad again. It won't cure acne by it's self I would also recommend some sort of cream or Stridex type treatment as well as tea tree oil (plus drinking green tea!) but it does wonders sometimes as quickly as overnight. Also for me a large portion of what looks like acne is dried acne that's dead but still looks bad and this helps that clear right up. I would recommend using Vaseline brand as opposed to off brands because those brands don't necessarily keep to the purification as closely. ALSO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOU WASH YOUR FACE BEFORE APPLYING!!! I did it with a dirty face overnight and it broke me out very bad (it was also off brand so that could have been part of it) But the bottom line is it works and it won't clog your pores but it theyre clogged with dirt when you apply you will break out.

So I suffered a lot of pimples and bumps along my forehead and some were starting to get scabby and bloody and you could just notice them so easily I hated It so I went to the pharmacy and brought a pimple reducing scrub but it made matters worse it made my skin feel really dry and flakey and my nose and forehead started flaking so I just stopped using any products until I heard a lot about Vaseline my sister told me about this and so I did abit of testing myself. And it did wonders in one night or in one day my scabs were gone there was no more redness and there were just a few bumps and it leaves your skin feeling sooo smooth. So just test it out your self to see if this works for you I really hope you try it. Directions If you are. Smear a thin layer of Vaseline over where your pimples or acne are leave it on there for the night I recomend you tye your hair back for the night so nothing sticks. And when you wake up in the morning get a wet cold cloth not a hot cloth a COLD cloth and just gently remove and wash away the remaining Vaseline. Once you've don't that your pimples should have gone down :) I use Vaseline everynight

i have acne i am 15 years old i began to get acne at the age of 13 and on my high school route i started to break out alot ... i mean big red pimples on my cheeks and forehead .. seems like this is really working .. i wash my face every night .. and add vaseline at night and wake up with less acne and pimples .. i hope you try it :) i did and it works amazing :) remember acne or no acne your still beautiful <3 smile bye bye

vaseline never developes acne or black spots. it is really good for moistrusing even if your skin is oily and it helps your skin to repair itself. so it is also good for acne and scars. cheap and healty. the only disadvantage is that it makes your skin shiny. however you can remove if it seems too much.

I started to break out so badly all over my forehead about 5 months ago and it would not go away. I had huge red bumps everywhere and new ones were forming every day. I tried literally everything- you name it, I tried it. I even went to the dermatologist and they prescribed me oral antibiotics and a topical cream but even these did not get rid of my acne. I completely lost hope until I read online that Vaseline gets rid of acne. So I washed my face with a mild cleanser and put on Vaseline as a moisturizer before bed, and I swear to god I woke up with much clearer skin. Not only does it make my skin smoother, but it gets rid of redness and fades my acne scars so quickly. I only started using Vaseline 1 week ago and my skin is 100 times clearer. I am finally comfortable enough again to go out without wearing any makeup to cover my acne and scars, which is something I could not do a week ago from today. I also haven't had any pimples form since I started using Vaseline. If you're like me and you think you've tried everything, use Vaseline as your night time moisturizer. It was the best decision I ever made.

For me personally I used this a lot when my skin is dry or have acne. I put this on my face over night and wake up with soft glowy skin and my pimple shrinks, redness goes down and dark scars starts to disappear. It works wonder! I love it. It may be sticky but that doesn't bother me.

I haven't used this exact Vaseline i used the Aleo Vera one i find it calms the redness down and speeds up the healing.Also i now drink the Aleo Vera drink and its helped my skin so much i don't have clear skin but the amount is reducing. I find only washing your face , using scrubs and masks have helped a lot.Also don't be afraid to go to the doctor and ask as they can give you creams and washes that will clean out your pours.Also people say its a myth about chocolate causing spots , it isn't.However its not just chocolate if your diet consist of lots of salts and sugars and you don't eat fruit that will be a main cause.Now when i want to snack i pick up some fruit.Another thing i do it soak my face in hot water , however make sure you use a non perfumed moisturizer , something like Aqueous Cream BP you can get this proscribed or buy it in a pharmacy.Another thing is if a spot isn't ready to pop don't mess with it , you'll regret it after , there will be a large redness and cut which may be infected this can get very big and hard to cover its not worth it. Try not to pick !Please reply if you have any suggestions and things i could try please :)

My skin became irritated from using so many products to try and clear up a breakout I was having, making it dry and flaky and breaking me out in my problem areas. I decided to try vaseline and was surprised at how well it worked. I put it on my face at night and woke up to my face being very soft and no longer dry as well as not as inflamed and the size of the pimples was drastically reduced. Also, I want to point out I have VERY sensitive skin and this hasn't seemed to clog my pores or irritate my face at all.

When I first started I was terrified, my skin looked so bad though after BP etc. My skin is very sensitive and I had just been putting anything on it in hopes of "killing" acne. But I kept getting more and more, and they we're angrier than ever. So, one day I put this on and kept putting it on so everything came to the surface. After this I just kept using it, every night. I use it to cleanse my face from make-up too if I wear it. I went on accutane about 1.5 months after I started using this. I had already been confirmed for it just when I started using it, but had to wait to be put on birth control and all that crap. I kept using it throughout and I haven't gotten a pimple since. I still use it now off it. I am amazed of how well my skin is healing. I went to a new derm after accutane and she convinced me that vaseline will break me out. She gave me some differin. After two days I had eczema and pupules all over my upper cheeks. I went back on vaseline and now it is getting back to normal. I am a bit angry that derms don't explore new possibilities with acne because these creams and stuff, and antibiotics (except accutane which actually works) is getting old. It will not clog your pores. I have been using it for 10 months (before, during and after accutane) and it has never clogged my pores. The only thing it will do is help heal your skin. It traps moisture and doesn't give your skin any new, so it is just helping you skin oppose to your ordinary moisturizer that you will eventually become dependent on. You really shouldn't need to use a moisturizer in the first place or anything really. You shouldn't furiously wash your face so much either. If you don't wear make up then maybe splash some water on your face once a day but that is it. I know that vaseline isn't natural, but whatevs. I mean I don't need to use anything and my skin is starting to look so much better so I know it is helping with something. Also, never use BP or anything on a popped zit, the bacteria has already died when it popped and now it just needs to heal. Put a lot of vaseline on it!!

I recently started using Vaseline because one day it dawned on me that Everyone I've ever known who use Vaseline on their skin had perfectly clear porcelain like skin....so since I'm suffering with adult acne I decided to use it on my face...it is a skin protectant people!!! So therefor it will shield your skin from environmental contaminates and bacteria keeping it "protected". After using it my skin has had very minimal breakouts and less severe and they only last 1-2 days if that. I have oily skin and it does not clog my pores. I use it after I put ACV on my face as a toner, I let it dry then apply Vaseline overnight. When I was using AVC alone I did not see great results until I started to use Vaseline. My aha! Moment...I never write reviews but for this product I can honestly say it works!
