Pros:

- Stops pimples from scarring or leaving a mark if youve popped one
- Good for lips

Cons:

- just a little greasy

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!!!

Shrinked my zits over Night.
So ever since I started my vacation in a country with a lot of hot weather, my face got a lot more oilie. I started to break out on my forehead and a bit also on my nose. I then started to try this by testing on my nose one night and then on my zits the next day. It then thankfully shrinked all my zits over night! (I have combination skin btw)

great product
This is a great product with multiple uses: moisturizer, mascara, make-up remover, hand cream etc. Mostly i use vaseline on my lips at night and in the morning they become so smooth and soft. Ultimate Moisturizer indeed.

Vaseline Has Healing Properties
Vaseline does get bad reviews saying that its pore clogging. I beg the differ. I live by this stuff daily. It is moisturizing, healing and soothing to my skin. Now I just restocked and it seems that my all time favorite ones from Big Lots/Family Dollar the formula has changed. Its not as thick and creamy as usual, not sure whats going on with it now. Ive gotta search for a new brand. If any of you can relate and know where I can get the thick Vaseline at Please feel free to chime in and let me know. Thanks, BA.

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..

Use Your Brain
Do a little research for yourself. Don't believe ignorant/shady dermatologists and "experts" that want you to use their products by putting down vaseline. Don't just listen to people on Acne.org either. Think for yourself and use that brain to read reliable studies. Countless studies have proven vaseline is one of the safest and most reliable moisturizers. It DOES NOT clog pores or cause cancer either lol so don't believe that fearmongering. The FDA and Paula Begoun have your back:)

This healed my skin
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!!

Thanks so much this was very helpful! I'm starting accutane soon and very nervous. Did it really work? We're there any side effects?

YES
Made an account simply to review this product. I had suffered with acne from age 11-21, from small whiteheads to huge cystic pimples. I spent my time researching and trying all sorts of remedies. I told myself as soon as I found a system that worked, I would post to help others. And FINALLY I found it!! My skin is almost completely clear and smooth. Here's the routine. Morning: -cleanse with unscented Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap -moisturize with jojoba oil Night: -remove makeup with jojoba oil and steaming hot washcloth -cleanse with Dr. Bronner's -moisturize with jojoba -apply a thin layer of vaseline all over face I SWEAR this routine has transformed my skin! Please give it a try!
