I've used Vaseline as eye cream for over 25 years! I hardly have any crows feet and no visible wrinkles. When people remark on how youthful the area around my eyes look and want to know what eye cream I use they are always amazed and a little disappointed when I say I only use Vaseline! They assume I've been using a high prize eye cream! I love my Vaseline and will continue to use it for years!

[@amanda.gonz1244]

do you use both moisturizer and vaseline? like moisturizer first and then vaseline?

[@ChaosWalker724]

@@amanda.gonz1244 I have extremely dry skin so I sometimes will use a moisturizer as well as my toner and serums under the cerave healing ointment. You don’t have to do this however as long as you have some sort of moisture on your face from either water or serums, otherwise putting it onto a dry face will just cause more dryness. I sometimes also just use aloe Vera gel on my face after washing and put the ointment right on top. I have extreme rosacea so it’s very soothing and is the only thing other than a face oil that keeps my skin from drying out

[@msings998]

​@@amanda.gonz1244 yes because vaseline will trap in the moisturizer to prevent water loss. this is why it is best to moisturize when the skin is a tiny bit damp and then sealing it all in with an occlusive i.e. vaseline

[@donnarakitzis2719]

There are all sorts of new studies revealing Vaseline cones from petroleum and has cancer causing ingredients

[@ianavodenicharova4167]

Water loss from the skin happens more rapidly while you sleep at night because your skin's PH becomes a little more acidic. So the extra occlusive layer slows down water loss and seals in the moisture.

[@Rachelllllll2024]

Everyone's skin is different. Just because it won't "clog pores" doesn't mean it won't exacerbate your acne. I tried different brands of petrolatum and moisturizers that have mineral oil as one of the first ingredients, and they broke me out. The new cerave formula (my go-to brand because it NEVER BROKE ME OUT ) recently changed their formula and it gave me pimples. I read the ingredients on the back and saw that they'd moved up the petrolatum on the ingredients list. If you have acne, I would suggest you proceed with caution. Yes, she's a dermatologist, and I'm not trying to discount that in any way, but I tried petroleum jelly and products she said were ok for acne-prone skin and they definitely didn't work for me.

[@danigrave3436]

Yes! Vaseline causes break outs for me too. My skin is insanely sensitive and temperamental. As soon as I find something it likes, the company changes the formula and I’m back to square one. Hate it! It’s so frustrating.

I use Vaseline every night after my Tretinoin. It saves my skin from the tret dryness and flaking!

[@aishaf9834]

Do you use it on top of tretinoin?

I do the same thing. I mix my tretinoin with the Cerave cream moisturizer, let it absorb and then apply Vaseline afterwards. It really helps with combating dryness from the tretinoin.

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

How long do you wait between applying your tret and applying the Vaseline? Is 15 minutes enough?

Putting Cerave healing ointment on as my last step in P.M. routine has completely transformed my skin 😻. More supple, glowy, hydrated. Received so many compliments since I started doing this.

[@eurokay4755]

Ditto! I've been using Retin A for about 4 years, and I kept having occasional patches of extremely dry, flaky skin around my chin and cheeks. Out of frustration, I put a little Vaseline on the patches at night after the Retin A absorbed and the dryness disappeared. I found the CeraVe Healing Ointment, checked the ingredients (thanks, Dr.!).

Thank you! I've started doing this because my skin is so dry in the winter. It works so well.

[@ccverdera6298]

Marilyn Monroe used Vaseline on her face, and her skin looked amazing still before she passed away. It surprised me that some doctors say it’s bad for your skin. If it’s good enough for Marilyn, I think I can give it a shot lol

[@anabelindaguzman7183]

And she was always glowing in pictures, no edit & filter during that time. Her skin is so radiant!

[@dreac6241]

She was young when she died.

[@ccverdera6298]

@@dreac6241 Not that young. A lot of people are looking quite rough by age 36 especially when you think of what she had to deal with. Severe stress, drug use, the sun in California (back before everyone wore SPF), the pollution in LA, the second hand smoke (b/c people smoked *everywhere* back then), etc.

Vaseline was the only moisturiser I grew up using including all the children and adults in my community. And it was a brilliant moisturizer, it made our skin glow and kept it soft. Those of african background can attest to this. There was a time when some people on social media were saying vaseline is not good for the skin cuz it's made from petrol. I was like, "that ain't true." Thanks for clarifying and recommending vaseline Dr. I still use it on my body to this day and it's still brilliant as it's the only moisturiser I prefer as others feel very light on my skin.

[@mirinaxo1663]

I’ve been using Vaseline since I was like 10 years old. I have very dry skin that is acne prone. Vaseline really helped my skin especially in the crazy cold weather where I live. It never broke me out… I say don’t be scared and give it a try 😊

[@leticiamahaffey5889]

Yes I do. It’s great, my skin is so soft and hydrated in the morning. Love your videos .

[@RB-kq1fe]

I use Vaseline at night after wash and Tretinoin. Go to bed “greasy” and wake up glowing😊

[@kellynch]

My 87-year-old mother uses Vaseline. I just cannot bring myself to do it. I've been using L'Occitane products for years, but I'm looking to go less expensive so I've been watching your videos and those from other dermatologists to see which drugstore brands I should try out. Thank you.

lips are currently slathered in vaseline! they are at the cracked dry stage and will get to cracked and bleeding by tomorrow if i didn’t put on vaseline! i prefer aquaphor by eucerin, i find its thicker and more moisturizing.

Ive been using Vaseline on my face at nightime over moisturiser since i was a teenager, im now 60yrs old and look half my age. Vaseline is great as it keeps moisture locked in your skin , plus it has no perfume and is completely natural.

[@poorthing]

Yes. I'm into 8th decade. I don't use it exclusively, but it has always been part of my 'routine'. Especially slathering feet/ wearing sox at night. Lips, cuticles, dry patches, elbows, knees

[@trisham22333]

Love the shower cap & matching eye mask, one of my favorite colors, you look beautiful!! 🥰🥰

My skincare routine is just three items it's green tea cleansing mousse and soap to make my face extra juicy/smooth and Vaseline

[@nicolem1225]

I slather it on every night before bed. It's dry and cold here, Vaseline has helped so much! And no breakouts whatsoever

[@aaliyahhhhhhh335]

I just put Vaseline on right now haha. Love from the UK

[@amixeblu]

I use Nivea's blue tin and it's got a pretty good petrolatum content. I have used this since age 3 when our internist recommended it to my mom. I was that dry (face). I am almost 49 and am still using it, have done so all my life. These days though I do layer all my other skincare underneath it (learned that here) and it works amazingly well! Thank you!

[@sangeetasharma2250]

Does it moisturize enuf? Like Vaseline feels like a seal no?

[@aishashire9510]

I use it on my face in the winter, my skin tends to dry up and crack and look ashy, this definitely helps me maintain a healthy skin. Been using it since I was a kid and my skin is in a good condition... added sunscreen last year and hopefully maintain the youthfulness for as long as I can haha

[@ladydeanna3775]

The baby Vaseline is the best one because the texture is a little lighter and not as thick as the original and it absorbs better.

[@greengurlg7]

I love Vaseline, especially after a cold when my nose is peeling from all the tissue use

DR DRAY CURED MY ACNE. Your video on how to use adapelene and benz peroxide saved my skin. I am 4 years acne free!!

[@SuperRabiaKhan]

Love Vaseline petroleum jelly - I've been using it for years because it doesn't irritate and it keeps the skin more hydrated than anything else. Its like that one product you can use all over -- on the body, face, and lips.

[@butterpoweredbike6135]

I reach for Cerave Healing Ointment any time I feel my eczema start to flare. It's the only thing I use on my lips, which used to constantly be dry from the Colorado air. I finish every night by applying it to my lips and any dry spots on my face (or wounds anywhere, like the scape I got from walking into a tree when hiking last week) while I'm sitting in my reading chair. But sometimes it feels so nice that I keep smearing it all the way around my mounth and nose and eyelids.

[@sdAmen]

I started using Vaseline recently, but wasn't sure of these facts so thank you. I suffer from eczema and as a last resort I tried it one night since we had some. It actually improved my skin and I had minimal irritation. Now, I use it in place of my other creams I spend so much money on. 😒 I do feel my skin is far more taught and smooth, too. Thank you for sharing this information and video! 💕🙏🏽💕
