Can I use Vaseline on my face or on damaged skin? — VASELINE 25GR (Tverskaya pharmaceutics factory)

Vaseline can be used on the face, but with caution. Because it is a dense, thick ointment, it may feel too heavy for the whole face, especially if you have oily or combination skin. It is best suited for specific dry patches, such as the corners of the nose, the cheeks, or the lips. Many people also use it as a lip balm.

When it comes to damaged or inflamed skin, the source is clear: avoid applying it to broken or irritated areas unless you have been specifically advised to do so by a specialist. The occlusive film can trap moisture or irritants, potentially worsening the condition. If you have a skin condition like eczema or dermatitis, do not use it on active wounds without medical advice. Always use it only externally, and if you ever experience redness or irritation, stop using it.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic skin condition, it is wise to consult a specialist before incorporating it into your routine. It is not a substitute for a balanced diet or a medical treatment, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.
