Vaseline earns strong reviews as an effective, versatile hydrator—Original Healing Jelly, Intensive Care Advanced Repair, and Radiant collections soothe cracked skin and chapped lips, absorb quickly, and create a protective barrier. Reviews also flag drawbacks: certain lip products feel drying or not long-lasting, mini tubs are impractical to use, some scents disappoint, and a few users report irritation or concerns about petroleum and animal testing.
I don’t like it more than the classic version for a couple of reasons. First of all i feel like the texture changes to a more goopy version that doesn’t melt at all with the heat of the skin and second the cocoa butter has never helped me heal anything.
Love how hydrating vaseline is for the lips. As a dentist, we use this for our patients all the time. The rosy tint is extremely faint, if there at all, but I still love it more than the clear petrolatum. For personal use, I also love the chapstick formation versus the mini tub because I don't have to get my fingers dirty while using it.
This will always be the gold standard for healing and protecting dry or flaky skin. Perfect for semi-sensitive areas like your nose or lips, it can be used just about anywhere. You can find it at most stores at a decent price, and it will last you a long time!
I have used the Vaseline intensive care cocoa radiant 48-hour moisture hydration lotion for a while now and I would not pick it over other moisturizing lotions or oils because although it is a good price I'm not a huge fan of the smell.
