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.

  • Vaseline is the only lip balm I use because it truly moisturizes without drying my lips out. It doesn’t create that annoying cycle where you need more the more you apply. Plus, the tube packaging makes it quick, easy, and mess-free to use anytime.

  • 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.

  • I love the versatility of Vaseline and use it for lots of things. I like to keep it in my purse just in case. I use it on my lips sometimes and occasionally on dry patches of skin. It's a really helpful product.

  • I am such a big fan of the Vaseline Radiant Hand Butter, it works so well! My hands are normally pretty dry and this hand butter is absolutely amazing! I use it just about every day to help with keeping my hands soft.

  • I love this brand of petroleum jelly. It’s the OG the classic, the iconic moisturizing your lips and whatever else you use petroleum jelly for I’ve even used it to remove my make up. I’ve used it as a brow gel as well.

  • Not a fan of the mini lip therapy tubs. I've trued several of the flavors over the years and product is hard to get out with just a pinky nail in a small opening. The scent and color is fine, but I did not fid the product hydrating or ling lasting

  • Vaseline is another one of my go-to brands for various products. In particular, I enjoy using their lotion and lip products. Both have excellent quality and are affordable options for issues such as dry skin or chapped lips. The only complaint I have or aspect to be aware of is regarding the lip healing product. There is no flavored option that I am aware of; however, it does help heal lips quickly, which is more important in the long run to me.

  • Vaseline Intensive Care Adanced Repair and Essential Healing are the only lotions I’ve found that effectively cure my dry hands in the winter. I love that they’re not strongly fragranced and that they work into my hands quickly without leaving them feeling greasy. Honestly, Vaseline Intensive care is probably better than products I’ve tried that cost ten times the price.

  • I understand Vaseline has been recommended by providers. I found myself itching with it instead of it helping. If I put this on my lips. My lips would itch. Vaseline unfortunately has petroleum which derived from petrol aka gasoline derivative so I’m staying away from that. Because what you apply to your skin you absorb into your body. There are good other alternatives out there!

  • Vaseline’s ProVitaB3 Serum-Burst Lotion is very unique and unlike any other body lotion product I’ve ever tried before. It looks like body lotion at first but it is much easier to rub in and absorbs more quickly than any other body lotion product I’ve tried. There’s no sticky or oily residue left on your skin. There’s no transfer onto clothing. My skin feels instantly soothed and hydrated. I can immediately see a difference with how much brighter and healthier my skin looks.

  • As someone who picks at the skin around her fingernails, I find Vaseline helpful for when I want to quickly nourish my skin on my hands. The petroleum jelly is easy to scoop out of the container. I don't like how "goopy" it is, but that's what this product is. It's thick, sticky and yet will moisturize even the driest of skin. It also works well in conjunction with diaper creams for changing baby diapers.

  • Vaseline is a well trusted brand that has been around for years. I have tried many of their products over the course of time and do not have any complaints. They are a staple. I especially loved the new radiant collection. The lotion is whipped and feels like butter. My skin is so smooth after.

  • Ok, the original healing jelly is fabulous. Fun fact, I fell off my bike the day before a sprint triathlon and my sunglasses broke on my eyelid. My eyelid would not stop bleeding until I put some Vaseline on, and I did it again the next morning (day of the race). Honestly don't know if I could have raced if my eye had still been bleeding! Recently, I went out on a limb and bought the Rosy Lips tinted care. Would not recommend. Very slight tint (which is fine!) but dried out my lips! Very disappointing for a Vaseline product.

  • While petroleum jelly is not the cleanest, it is effective. I like to use this as a lip balm and in liu of mascara in the summer months or when swimming. Just curl your lashes and put on some vaseline and you're good to go!

  • Pink Vaseline is super light and feels really smooth and cool on the skin 💖❄️ It’s not greasy at all, just absorbs quickly and keeps my skin soft and fresh all day. Perfect for daily hydration without the heavy feel!

  • Vaseline’s lip tins provide a punch of hydration and moisture, AND they last FOREVER. No seriously, I have had this tin for what feels like forever… and it’s still going strong! I love that they have the same great Vaseline formula with a hint of shine!

  • "Vaseline is my dry skin savior! ❄️💅 I slather it on my hands, feet, and lips whenever they need a moisture boost. It's like a protective barrier that locks in hydration and soothes dryness. I love how versatile it is - from a lip balm to a hair mask, Vaseline's petroleum jelly works wonders! 💯"
