Vaseline : Petroleum Jelly

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..

Okay people only dry skinned peeps can put this on all of their faces, Teens like me cant. Just put it on red pimples and only on the pimple or you will get more. Put it on lips and after ten minutes wipe with wash cloth slowly and put on eyelashes for longer eyelashes. I know this is a acne website but I needed to do that. If you get it on your acne free parts WARNING: WASH IT OFF put it on crusty or red or cyst pimples four because it broke me out when I put it on wrong

Occasionally I get super red flaky skin on the skin under my eyes. I use Vaseline on my dry skin overnight and by morning it's literally gone! I use this regularly during winter too to prevent more dry skin. It's inexpensive and I love it.

Works well as a moisturizer (it's been said that Marilyn Monroe actually smeared vaseline all over her face when getting ready in the morning), however can cause breakouts if you tend to have very oily skin, but overall is great if you need a quick fix for extremely dry skin

I have acne due to very dry skin (esp. in winter) and PCOS related hormonal imbalances. Acne washes & creams dry acne, but also overdried my skin. Skin flakes were making my acne worse. This product worked very well to remedy my dried skin, & I have not had an issue with it clogging my pores. Other moisturizers produced a rash & allergic reaction, or simply did not work. It is best used after washing my face & slept in, sometimes paired with pure olive oil . FYI Tyra Banks & Marylin Monroe use/d this for their skin as well.

I don't understand the reviews talking about how wonderful Vaseline is. I used it on my chin a day or two after a Fraxel Restore laser treatment that burned me. I had to have something act as a barrier. This stuff clogged me up and I had over five cysts pop up. DO NOT USE THIS STUFF!!!

Ok so its great for dry skin and chapped lips but not so much for acne
