Can I use this vaseline oil on my face if my skin is sensitive or prone to clogged pores?

This product may be suitable for facial use when the goal is to soften dry, tight-feeling areas with a very simple formula. According to the product information, it contains pharmaceutical grade mineral oil and has no added perfume, plant extracts or complex additive blend. That can be helpful for people who prefer to avoid fragranced skincare or long ingredient lists.

However, how it feels on the face depends on your skin type and the amount used. Mineral oil works by creating an occlusive surface film, so it can feel too rich if applied heavily or used over the whole face on very oily skin. If you are prone to clogged pores, start by applying a very thin layer only where the skin is dry, such as around the cheeks or other rough patches, instead of using it as an all-over face oil.

A practical approach is to test it on a small area for a few days before wider use. Apply it as the last step after lighter hydration, not underneath products that need to absorb quickly. Avoid the eye area, do not apply to irritated skin if it stings or feels worse, and stop use if redness, itching or discomfort appears.
