Vaseline : Petroleum Jelly

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!

Im 21 and deal with adult acne to some extent. Im not troubled like my teenage years were. I have always had pretty clear skin but with changing seasons, my face takes a beating with acne. My grandmother has always used vaseline at night and looks 10+ years younger than she is so i decided to try it. This is seriously a miracle serum it seems! Ever since using it nightly on troubled areas, my acne lessens in amount and size, as well as redness quite substantially. My face isnt very greasy so this works wonders and doesnt clog my pores. I highly reccomend it!!

I put this on my skin overnight because my face was drying out and my mom recommended it to me and my acne was 95% gone when i wook up! This is how you use it so you wont break out/you wont put too much on: 1.) clean your skin before 2.) run some hot water 3.)get some vaseline around the size of a quarter 4.) run it under the hot water and rub your hands together to mix it until its paste like 5.) put it on!

I started using vaseline a couple months ago after my dermatologist suggested I use it on a mole I had removed. He stated it is better to use vaseline than an antibacterial gel as the wound would heal better. I've always had moderate acne and mainly on my chin due to dry skin. My forehead has always been greasy. I decided to stop using my acne medication and try vaseline. I put a thin layer all over my face and slept with it on over night. It's difficult to sleep with as it can leave grease all over your pillow but at least it doesn't stain fabric like BP. The next day my acne was dramatically reduced and the redness subsided a ton. I decided to keep up with it and I can say my face is perfectly clear and all in about over a weeks time. I even had family members say that I look photoshopped, which I take as a great compliment. Give it a try, it doesn't cause acne due to it is non-comedogenic. I just wash my face before putting it on and once a week I give my face a nice scrub with a facial exfoliator.

so I have used everything from Proactive to mary kay to clean and clear ALL brands (my skin is olive..nothing worked like Vaseline. How I use it: I put vaseline on my face (yes the whole face) for about 40min - 1hour After that I steam my face for 5 min or until my face feel sweaty Then I bring cotton balls and baby oil .. I remove the vaseline using them ..all the dirt will be out of your face on the cotton ball (you will be amazed) then I wash my face with cold water ,or you can use a cotton ball (to close the pros) put baby oil again on your face and leave it as much as you can ..overnight is great. I do this once every week and my skin feels much better ,acne are less and scars are almost gone..

I would use this again because I have a bad habit for scratching my face whilst I'm asleep and whoopty doo, I now not only have marks but scarring too. I am really happy that I can use Vaseling to help stop scarring while I'm wating for my Mauka Honey to arrive from Ebay (best healing honey EVER). IF YOU DONT WANT TO SCAR, USE VASELINE!!!

this is the best moisturizing product ive ever bought. its helped my skin so much. i luv itttt.

It does not clog your pores. With that being said, that does not mean that it will not break you out. Some people have a sensitivity to petroleum. Use it after you get out of the shower, while your face is still wet. Only use a tiny, tiny bit. (A little scoop on your pointer finger is enough to cover your whole face.) I use it in the morning, and it makes you really greasy, so after I let it sit for about an hour, I dab some off so I don't look too greasy when I go out. I also recommend using Vitamin E. At night I use Vitamin E after steaming my face. My skin is nearly clear..... but we'll see
