No homemade Vaseline mixture has been proven to erase wrinkles. Products with the strongest evidence include:
- Retinol or prescription retinoids
- Sunscreen every day
- Moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides
A Few Precautions
- Vaseline is very occlusive, so it may trigger breakouts in people with oily or acne-prone skin.
- Avoid adding lemon juice, baking soda, toothpaste, or essential oils to facial skincare mixtures, as these can irritate or damage the skin.
- Always patch-test any new product on a small area of skin for 24 hours before applying it to your face.
While Vaseline is an excellent moisturizer for dry skin, the dramatic “before and after” claims often seen on social media are not supported by scientific evidence.
