The brand is Mercurochrome, they make mostly bandaids of all sorts, and their tube was pretty inexpensive. But i don't like mine because it's half liquid half jelly, yuck yuck.

i think im going to try this as well. but im scared, first because i've already got a gigantic zit on my chin and second because my skin ends up super duper oily after i use a moisturizing cream :-/

[bluengold2007]

I do use the Dove soap I think it works very well.

[MsFit]

I would love to try the Vaseline.
I know alot of people use it to moisturize their bodies.
I break out on my face easily, usually on my nose and forehead so like everyone else
i'm just concerned about waking up to big red zits on my face.

I remember my sister used to apply vaseline every night after cleansing her skin. I might try this...

[Doya G]

i usually put vaseline on my face every night before going to bed. especially on those days when i feel so dry.
its really good and i wake up feeling good.
after cleansing my skin, i apply it all over my face..and wait for a while before hitting the pillows..

my mom and grandma both use vaseline on their faces, and have done for YEARS! theyve tried to convince me to do it so I tried it for a little while and my face was a greasy break out nightmare....I think it works fore some people but I dont know how I feel about smearing petrolium by products on my face. I prefer more natural skin care products, but do use vaseline as a body moisturizer in a pinch when I run out of my regular stuff. It works but no better than anything else imho.

[Young-Simba]

I would never do that, talk about breaking out all over.

dunno if this has been said lol dont have time to go thru the 39 pages lol! but marylin monroe apparntly slathered it all over her face everynight and for makeup she used to layer vaseline and powder everyday!

[MsFit]

I have actually heard about this.
I think that's pretty neat. She did seem to have beautiful skin..

I don´t understand which ingredient in vaseline should have any anti-aging properties? All it can do it moisturize...and skin aging does not happen to due dryness of the skin. It´s a mix of sun exposure, loss of collagen etc. Of course you can get some wrinkles from major dryness, but most people care enough for their skin to prevent that.

[ladycallie]

I can't believe people would believe this. Petroleum jelly is a horrible thing for your face. =/ If anything, it actually sucks moisture. Something must be up.

[Ssue]

Being aware of your skin type would be a consideration when deciding when to use it and how often.

For dry, sensitive skin it is a great remedy as a quick spot treatment to get rid of those dry, scaly skin patches. (Especially in the winter.) Vaseline is also one of the only things that works for me in preventing eczema. (More severe dry, scaly patches of skin).

A&D ointment is also a good all purpose treatment for dry skin as well. It keeps the skin very soft. Just a very light layer once in awhile a night works well to keep your skin wonderfully soft.

I have used umpteen different oils and butters, various combinations thereof, for my daugther's eczema, to make lip balms and glosses, lotions and so on. From almond, avocado, borage, coconut, emu, evening primrose oil...shea butter, walnut oil... I could work my way through the alphabet here with the different things I have tried. Different brand lotions too- from aubrey to weleda. Mostly organic stuff. And now I am back to using Vaseline for everything. I was almost disappointed to find that after having spent so much money on natural, organic oils, Vaseline just works better on her eczema. It works on my face too.

[magosienne]

Have you tried calamine lotion ? It works nicely. Or you could try Uriage Cu Zn (copper zinc) cream, both are my staples.

My cousin who is 16 and her mom use vaseline on their faces every night. They have been doing this for years and they both have great skin. Now my question is .. if you're a teen or even older and you smother your face in vaseline every night ..wouldn't you break out in zits? Also her mom ( my aunt) is 40 something and doesnt have a single wrinkle , at first I thought she was just lucky but her sisters who are younger have wrinkles . Are my cousin and aunt just lucky? or is Vaseline a solution for all skin problems?

Vaseline might be a single factor..there will also be some other factors..
for ex; wrikles can form if you use hot water for your bath all the time, if your face was exposed to hot sun's rays most of the time, like that..

Thank-You very much...It works for meee... my skin is oily n sensitive...I recently tried the ocm method n unfortunately it didnt work for me n i ended up having new pimples all over my chin area...So i tried vaseline the one i had at home was white petroleum jelly..

i applied it very lightly all over my face,no smothering jus a light touch all over my face...n i applied a lil more on all the affected areas...thats all..this was before goin to bed...In the morning i apply a light clay mask n wash off with warm water...reapply vaseline on affected areas only...throughout the day I applied it again and again mayb 6-7 times,it takes away pain n irritation almost instantly,the gunk came out v easily...second day most of my irritation was gone,pain is gone..redness has reduced a bit...n when i applied it on new bumps they seem to have vanished the nex day !!!

M loving this...It has smoothened my skin...Vaseline definitely protects n heals the skin no doubt...very little of it is more than enough...yay.!!
works for me works for me....i definitely will recommend it to people oily pimple prone skin...(esp with redness n painful swelling) it works...

[rubyrhodes]

Well, I guess their skin is not sensitive to vaseline, and another reason could be the skin is now used to that over the long haul.
