FAQs Answered by Pharmacists: Using Vaseline Petroleum Jelly for Dry Skin and Skin Protection

What skin problems can Vaseline Petroleum Jelly help with?

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is a versatile product used to treat and protect dry, cracked, or chapped skin. It forms a protective barrier over the skin, helping to lock in moisture and speed up healing. It is also useful for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and to protect skin from windburn or friction.

How does Vaseline work to heal dry skin?

Vaseline works as an occlusive barrier—it sits on the skin’s surface and prevents water from evaporating. This helps keep moisture in and allows the skin underneath to heal more effectively. It doesn’t add moisture directly, but it locks in what’s already there.

Is it safe to use Vaseline on the face or lips?

Yes, Vaseline is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. It’s safe to use on sensitive areas like the lips, face, and around the eyes to relieve dryness or irritation. However, those with very oily or acne-prone skin may prefer to use it only on particularly dry patches.

Can Vaseline be used on babies or children?

Yes, Vaseline is gentle and safe for all ages, including babies. It’s commonly used to protect against diaper rash and dry skin in infants. Always apply it to clean, dry skin and avoid using it inside the nose or mouth.

Can Vaseline help with healing wounds or burns?

Vaseline can be used to protect minor wounds or burns by keeping them moist, which promotes healing and reduces scabbing and scarring. Be sure to clean the area first and avoid using Vaseline on deep, open, or infected wounds unless directed by a healthcare professional.

How often should I apply Vaseline?

You can apply Vaseline as often as needed, especially after washing your hands, bathing, or whenever your skin feels dry or irritated. For best results, use it on slightly damp skin to help seal in moisture.

Are there any ingredients or risks to be aware of?

Vaseline Original contains 100% pure petroleum jelly that’s been triple-purified, making it hypoallergenic and free from irritants or fragrances. Allergies are rare, but if you notice redness, itching, or swelling, stop use and speak with a pharmacist or doctor.
