I dont use Vaseline anymore and have recently switched to Burt's bees which is amazing. This is because i heard that using Vaseline too much prevents your lips from being able to make their own moisture, so like they would be really dry without using Vaseline in your normal routine.
But when i did use Vaseline, i praised it like crazy! It doesn't make my lips sticky and makes them really glossy too :) I would put it on my lips overnight and the next morning they would be SOO soft even after my first time using it! Its also really cheap, like $5 where i am? (Australia)
I did have a bit of a problem with the packaging, with the normal sized ones. I couldn't put them in my bag without the lid coming off and the vaseline would make my bag stink up! Eek! But if you got the smaller-sized ones they would have the lids that click-on, and stay on.
Again, it's a good product. But for my lips i would use products that have been specially made for the lips and only the lips.

Love love love vaseline! I use it as a face moisturizer for my dry sensitive skin. Many face moisturizers sting or leave my face too dry and vaseline is the only product that works. I apply a thin layer as a night cream. The trick is to apply to damp skin and to warm up the vaseline in your palm before applying. That way, the vaseline is easier to spread and you can use less. No clogs either! It also works well on lips and lasts! I apply one at night and for the whole day, my lips are moisturized even though there isn't a film on them. Please try it!

Vaseline is a must have beauty product! It's so versatile and inexpensive too. I have naturally dark lips, so I don't need a coloured gloss. Instead, I use Vaseline on my lips everyday. It locks in moisture all day. Two weeks ago I started applying it every night on my eyelashes and eyebrows. I already have noticed results! My eyelashes look longer and healthier. My eyebrows are thicker as well. If I have dry elbows I put it on my elbows too. Overall, this product is amazing and I will definitely continue using it for years to come.

The container is very cheap looking and unsanitary because it comes in a a plastic box/jar. The smell of the vaseline is not very appealing plus I find that it takes approximately 2 hours for the vaseline to evaporate or absorb. After it evaporates it does not moisturize at all. This is a very bad product and also gave me a big pimple on top of my lip. Hate this product with a eternal passion.

I find it amusing for some reason there are reviews for Vaseline on MUA :D anyyway I use this on my cuticles, my lips, my brows, my eyelashes. I've never used it on my bare skin because I'm afraid of it clogging pores. Usually I use the elf clear brow gel, but one day I used Vaseline instead when I ran out. It worked awesome, so when I'm running low I use that. I feel it locks in moisture on my cuticles and lips right after I apply lip balm (handy in the winter) but for my eyelashes: wow. They're so much longer and more conditioned, they don't fall out. I use a light cost on my top and bottom lashes at night, and excess on the clear mascara wand I put on my brows. My eyelashes look like I'm wearing mascara (a light coat, but nevertheless) now when I just curl my lashes. I don't even use it everyday, maybe every other. Great lash growth product, I haven't tried any 'official' formulas but as I research a good lash accelerator, I'm sticking to my Vaseline :)

A definite must have as it serves many purposes. I primarily use it on my lips, on occasions on my hands and heels and even on the skin close to the hairline when I used to dye my hair black blue so the dye would not stain my skin. I've also used this to take off Halloween make up one time and worked like a charm. I would love to use this as a face moisturizer but am concerned as I have sensitive skin and I know I will not be able to keep this on my face overnight as I toss and turn a lot at night. My pillowcase would get moisturized and not my face =/

Amazing product. I apply this above my moisturizer around my eyes, lips, and anywhere else that needs some TLC. It always softens and makes my skin feel so nice. It seems to give a nice glow to my face too. LOVE it!

Would I buy this product again? YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES.
Now that the shouting portion of this review is over, let's start with the reviewing.
I've never really used vaseline outside of a last-resort lip balm until about a month ago. I was dealing with dry patches in spite of applying tons of moisturizer, and I wanted something that wouldn't let my face feel all drawn and stretched in the morning.
I use my neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair night lotion shortly before going to bed as always, and apply a thin layer of vaseline over it. While the neutrogena lotion was doing an impressive job on my fine forehead and smile lines already, the vaseline seems to just turbocharge the effect, and I am sold.
It's been a month of daily use and I haven't broken out yet. No big pimples, no tiny bumps that linger under the skin- nothing. I also found that my skin seems more supple, and somehow thicker- like when I was a teenager.
The stickiness took some getting used to, and I have to make sure I keep my hair away from my face but it comes automatically now.
I loves it.

I love this, especially for the winter. My lips tend to get dry very often at random moments, so I use this for my lips most of the time. I also use this for around my nostrils/sides of my nose when I'm sick & in the winter when the sides of my nose get dry. This never breaks me out (knock on wood) & intensely moisturizes overnight without irritating my skin. I would reccommend using this overnight because this needs time to absorb to really sink into the problem areas of the skin. This has so many helpful uses. I've had the same jar of Vaseline for over 2 years now, & it still works perfectly. This is definitely a good, cheap investment. Petroleum Jelly has definitely been one of my most amazing finds that truly works long term. I am forever, a lifetime fan. & from reading some of the other reviews, I'm going to try using it as a brow gel & for my eyelashes to see how it works:) continued >>

Great for lips, hands, face, etc.
My nose area gets really dry around the nostrils and also get dry patch between my eyebrows so I use this at night and it really works..so cheap too!! DOES NOT CLOG!!! Promise!!
If your face is really dry then wash it with an aloe based cleanser (Body Shop!!) and then leave it damp and apply Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to your damp face as a mask and leave it for a few hours....!! :)

The container is tacky, the smell and feel of the cream is worst plus its totally bad for your skin because it disintegrates the top layer and makes you break out.

A co-worker suggested Vaseline to me as an eye makeup remover. WOW! It takes everything off (including my SUPER IMPOSSIBLE to remove Armani mascara), doesn't sting my eyes, and doesn't dry out my skin. To use it, I dip a tissue in the jar, wipe it on my eyes, and let it sit for a minute or two. Then I take a clean tissue and wipe it off. Easy peasy.

I use the Vaseline 100% Petroleum Jelly for babies. It's fan-freakin-tastic! I used to use lip balm for my chapped lips and it takes almost a WHOLE WEEK for the cracks to heal. But with Vaseline, the cracks almost disappear completely after just one day! I was actually a little doubtful when my mother got me this product at first, but after having applied it once, I never looked back.
