Vaseline does not clog pores!!
I recently started using Vaseline because one day it dawned on me that Everyone I've ever known who use Vaseline on their skin had perfectly clear porcelain like skin....so since I'm suffering with adult acne I decided to use it on my face...it is a skin protectant people!!! So therefor it will shield your skin from environmental contaminates and bacteria keeping it "protected". After using it my skin has had very minimal breakouts and less severe and they only last 1-2 days if that. I have oily skin and it does not clog my pores. I use it after I put ACV on my face as a toner, I let it dry then apply Vaseline overnight. When I was using AVC alone I did not see great results until I started to use Vaseline. My aha! Moment...I never write reviews but for this product I can honestly say it works!

it's probably one of the most under-rated beauty products around. It does just about everything, from moisturising lips to healing cracked skin, and even works as an intensive treatment for flaky skin on the face! It's never broken me out or clogged my pores, and works wonderfully over new scabs cuz it makes them heal and peel off faster. Also soothing and calming when my skin is irritated. Never dared to try using it on my face earlier cos I always thought the people who could do it were those with dryer, blemish-free skins. I was SOOOO wrong. It feels icky at first but in 10mins or so, it absorbs completely and you get smooth silky skin.

don't be afraid
vaseline never developes acne or black spots. it is really good for moistrusing even if your skin is oily and it helps your skin to repair itself. so it is also good for acne and scars. cheap and healty. the only disadvantage is that it makes your skin shiny. however you can remove if it seems too much.

Pros:

It's cheap, and yet better moisturising than any of the expensive products out there. Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), so if you're using a lip balm like Carmex and Chapstick which is causing spots around the mouth, try vaseline instead.

Cons:

Notoriously greasy. Be careful not to get any up your nose, as this can be dangerous.

I love this stuff. It's a simple, honest product with no frills or miracles claimed in marketing, and it's a tried and trusted brand. Very cheap for a big pot which will last forever, and you can put some in a small pot to carry round with you. I use it as a lip balm and moisturiser. Petroleum jelly is also MUCH more moisturising than other products - it's something like 92% moisture retention as compared to less than 20% for things like cocoa butter. Contrary to popular belief, it is also non-comedogenic and won't clog pores. Wonderful stuff, can't believe there are no other reviews.

YEY
I'm the type of person who use home remedies on my face, hair and underarms because i believe that using natural products will treat and help my skin and hair better than those chemical thingy products. I have never thought that I will use vaseline as my night mosturuzer pack. At first, I just recommended my mom to use vaseline (since I read that it has the ability to heal) because she is having an itchy thingy feeling near her ear which was turning black and chappy after she used it, she told me it worked perfectly and it does not feel dry anymore. After using it everyday and now it's completely healed so..... she is not using it anymore we have much vaseline left in our house. soooo I've searched for its advantages and read reviews. yey When I was on my teenages years, I'm the type of person who does not grew pimples easily since I really take care of my face every morning and night. But now that i'm on SUPER STRESS and busy stage of my college life which is THESIS, pimples are starting to grow and I believe it is due to stress and not enough cleansing. Now I have so much pimples growing on my chin. YES only on the chin. and i'm not used to it, I always touch and pop it even though I noted myself not to pop because it will only get worse and will leave marks and also I'm also starting to have a dry skin, i think its because of products I used to remove the acne and marks. And yey I remembered vaseline advantages and on the first night that I used it, after cleansing my face I applied thin layer of vaseline on my face and slept overnight with it, though I really dont like the greasy felling..., but when I woke up in the morning my skin absorbed the jelly and it feel so soft even after cleansing my face with my usual foam cleanser it still felt soft and not dry AND the new pimple that grew yesterday became smaller hahaha! So I decided to use it as my night cream. I really recommend this product to those who have dry face PS I also use it on my eye lashes because it makes it stronger and longer.

Pros:

Cheap
Ultimate Moisturizer
Helps even complexion
Anti-Aging
Helps clear Acne

Cons:

Extreamly greasy

It does not clog your pores. With that being said, that does not mean that it will not break you out. Some people have a sensitivity to petroleum. Use it after you get out of the shower, while your face is still wet. Only use a tiny, tiny bit. (A little scoop on your pointer finger is enough to cover your whole face.) I use it in the morning, and it makes you really greasy, so after I let it sit for about an hour, I dab some off so I don't look too greasy when I go out. I also recommend using Vitamin E. At night I use Vitamin E after steaming my face. My skin is nearly clear..... but we'll see

YAYYY
Hi, I'm 22. I've tried so many drugstore and high end moisturizers with and without acne properties (Eg. Salicyclic acid) and I swear this is the best moisturizer I've encountered. It will NOT clog your pores, I add chunks of this stuff on my face and spread it, no problem! Btw I have oily sensitive skin. Vaseline is a wonderful lip balm too. Dry lips? Apply and ~5mins later you will see smooth af lips! SUPER FAST RESULTS. Anyways, I think this has reduced my acne by at least 2 folds. I use nizoral shampoo on my face as a cleanser and apply vaseline right afterwards and it's been clearing up! Ten years with acne and I'm FINALLY REALLYYYY excited to say i think I've found my path to curing acne. Really recommend trying the nizoral+vaseline combo. :)

Pros:

Moisturized skin
reduced redness & peeling
improved skin after "drying" acne treatments & winter skin
lessed acne aggrivated by skin flakes
cheap
anti-aging
great for chapped lips & eyelashes
over expensive creams, this is used by many celebrities with beautiful skin

Cons:

thick
heavy
greasy
messy/spreadable
seems to "sit" on 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.
