Didn't work for me
Not sure what went wrong for me. Thought vaseline might work because of the good reviews here, but it didn't. I applied it every night for a week, then wash it off in the morning. Initially, I thought it was working by making my pimples come to head.. but after a few days I realised that I was just breaking out quite badly. Finally stopped it and bought something that I felt might calm my face down- aloe vera gel. Just 2 days after using the gel, I feel that it's slowly healing the damaged that vaseline caused.

I can tell where you went wrong in this process; you washed off the Vaseline. Vaseline regularly works to heal the skin by leaving it on. I have an acne prescription given to me by my dermatologist and I use it every night. One day, I got these horrific pimples and I tired popping them: BIG mistake. They bled, peeled, turned dark (though they weren't too big) and hurt with just me touching them. I put on my prescription one night and for the fist time put Vaseline over it: it worked! I'm not sure it you retested the process (and that you may know all this information by now) but I hope this feedback could give you a little more insight coming from another person who struggles with acne.

Pros:

None

Cons:

ALL! Clogged pores and cysts galore!

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!!!

I think you were simply using the wrong remedy: Vaseline is supposed to heal skin by rejoining flesh and skin cells, for everyday purposes, not relieving pain or healing viscous burns which may only be healed by professional Doctor treatment. You probably should've used something like lotion or a bag of ice to soothe the burn. If anything, Vaseline reacts with different skin types and works for only certain purposes. I'm not sure what you went through, but I hope this comment could help.
