Esthetician here. After very strong peels, we tested Aquaphor on one set of clients and Vaseline on the other side of clients. Result clients that used Aquaphor had skin care reactions like rashes. The ones using Vaseline had no reaction on their skin. From that point on we stopped using Aquaphor
OHHHH MYYYY GOOODNESSSS!!!!!!!!!!THNK U@LANNIEVAST5094!!OK THIS MAKES SENSE!!!I too had a reaction after peels using aquaphor but didn't realize it was tht!!but it was the one difff thing used from the last time I peeled..however i never ever thought it could b tht !!!
yes!I used aquaphor on my face a few months ago, I often use vaseline or simple Eucerin all over my face -but within 4 days I got à horrible rash allover my face. all id put on my face was Aquaphor and a twice a day light wasm water wash. I'll stick with my vaseline and jar of Eucerin, I tossed the other.
I am 81 years old, a hairdresser all of my adult life until retirement. One of my older clients always bragged that all she used was vaseline. Her skin was flawless. I shrugged it off as "old fashioned." I wish I had seen your video years ago. Now I know what my next Amazon purchase will be! Vaseline!
Could you please give a demonstration on how to apply Vaseline to the face and eye area? I tend to be heavy handed and would like to be sure I am applying it correctly. Thank you! Love your video. New subscriber as f today.
Back in my late 20’s to early 30’s, I was walking around with my friend and spotted a woman with the most beautiful, youthful, glowing skin so I struck up a conversation with her and she told me all she used was Vaseline and that she disclosed to that she was 53 years old at the time, to my surprise. Now I’m 50, adopted her Vaseline tip, and I’m the one with the youthful glowing skin and get stopped in the street by compliments. Vaseline works! Another plus is that it actually cleared up all the black little sebaceous filaments on my nose.
Thank you for this video. Original Vaseline is sooo underrated. I have a friend who’s now almost 80. She was 40 when I met her. She had the most beautiful skin ever. When I asked what her secret was she said a jar of Vaseline. From head to toe. Her skin is still beautiful and healthy looking.
Good to see. I have to share this. I have a friend I consider family who is 82 years old and looks fabulous. She has used Vaseline as long as I've known her- since 1970s. Her skins is beyond pretty and at 82🎉. She swears by it as tried and true for skin care. 🤷🏼💜👍. Good video !!!
When aquaphor came out Vaseline became vilified as a petroleum product. It’s important to note that off brands of Vaseline are not pure like the brand Vaseline. Vaseline also promotes healing.
Thank you for mentioning 3 times purified. Very important and the Vaseline brand is the only one triple purified. Not the generic. I'm 63 and have used Vaseline all my life.
honestly I have had many skin cancers removed and my doctor always says use vaseline for 5 days to help with healing and scaring; Per doctor request I have always been a vaseline lover. Great video Michelle. God speed
Thanks so much!!! I’m 70 and spend wayyy too much money on department store beauty products falling for the hype that newer and more expensive is better. Good to know that I can return to tried and true Vaseline. I wish I had never disowned it. Thanks for the revelation and for your awesome videos.
I did watch your video on milia, but I had a rough time attempting to do it myself, although I have done it once before up on the high cheekbones, but never that close to my eye. But I too got several milia‘s from using too much moisturizer under my eyes…. And by accident/hunch I decided to try my Cereva SA cleanser under my eyes. I wet my face, like I’m washing it which I was. Put a good layer on smeared it under my eyes and I left it on for 2 to 3 minutes, per Dr. Dray instruction, then I rest it was very warm water, and then finished with cool tapwater, I kid you not, within one to two days of doing this they were all gone !!!!!!! and my skin felt super soft no digging required! So now, I make it a habit to do this routine once or twice a week to keep them at bay. I just thought I’d share my two cents, experience. Maybe it will help someone.
I have tried both Vaseline and Aquaphor under my eyes and other textured areas of my face. The Aquaphor seemed to perform better on me in the heat and humidity than the Vaseline. Vaseline would probably perform better in the colder months. Thank you for the wealth of information Michelle! ❤
Twenty years ago, my daughter and I were in the Andes mountains of Perú. It was mid-winter, extremely cold and extremely dry. At night, I smeared Vaseline over my face before bed. My daughter was aghast. "I'd NEVER put that all over my face!" Ever since, I've been trying to prove to her that it's a good form of protection. Finally! Vindication!.
Michelle, this was fabulous! I'm really trying to make healthy and SIMPLE choices. I need to simplify my routine, and this is perfect! Plus, I'm happy to support those tried and true brands! ❤
Aquaphor is awesome for my under eyes and concealer, I don’t have a ton of fine lines just my natural ones and it helps with creasing and longevity, will try the Vaseline next
So happy I found your channel! I also got milia under my eye from the Aquaphor lip balm. I’m going to watch your video on how to get rid of it at home, because I usually go to the dermatologist to have them removed. Vaseline is always in my house and I will use that from now on. Thanks so much !
😊❤ I could only afford Vaseline as an eye makeup and reg makeup remover when I was in my 20’s. I’m 64 and still love it! Better than Micellar water by far and way cheaper. How did I know to use it? I read an article in a ladies magazine way back in the late 70’s. I will say that the tube of aquafor made for baby is the same as the jar of aquafor. It’s very thick and 41%. For those of us who despise digging in a jar, this is an alternative to use on those extreme dry patches. I’m sure moms of diapered babies find the tube way more convenient. But Vaseline is even cheaper and pure!! ❤ I’d also suggest that ALL of us keep around baggies or makeup bags w a few disposable gloves. Where? in diaper bags, cars, even a few in our handbags. There r sooo many kinds of them available. Why? Tons of reasons! Diaper changing, pumping gas, cleaning out small spaces in the car, packaging meat for freezing, cleaning at home, rubbing on pain creams in our bedrooms, etc. My husband has had a transplant and being zealous about what’s on everything we touch has become a huge deal over 9 yrs! So I began keeping disposable gloves in diff places. I can’t believe how often we use them! Not a makeup tip, but perhaps someone needs to know! ❤ your videos!! 🎉😊
Thanks for the tip,I’ve never tried Vaseline as an under eye primer. I love Vaseline for eye makeup remover,on my lips at night & dry elbows etc. I’m gonna a try it tomorrow as an under eye primer. ❤ from Washington state
I am 41 and I have dry skin and I use a very very thin layer of Aquafor on my skin....all over. It is basically Vaseline but with Vitamin E and Lanolin added depending on which of their products you use. The lines on my forehead are disappearing. The crepey lines that were forming under my eyes is gone. Again, I have always had dry skin. This likely wouldn't work for oily or combination skin types. Also, another little tip...in black culture, Vaseline use all over the skin from little up is common. The high melanin protection for the skin with the addition of the vaseline is why black women look so good even into old age.
Wow!! I didn’t know this!! Thank you for sharing!!! It’s soo true!!! THE most beautiful skin! I have many Black friends, and I would never guess their ages because they don’t have even ONE WRINKLE!!! ♥️
Oh I'm sooo glad I found this video and your channel!!! Thank you so much ❤ You look great btw! Wish you a happy and blessed new year! Much love from Germany
Good morning 🙏 everyone. I use the lips on my lips and the big stick healing balm on my face and the BIG JAR everywhere else. The BIG JAR is wonderful on my feet with socks for the softest feet ever. WOW 😮this makes so much sense because the Vaseline keeps the barrier between your face and all the makeup. It will probably keep your skincare locked down into your skin. ❤ Thanks, Michelle, for doing the research for us as always. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Awesome job! Thank you for breaking everything down-it really helps! Personally, I believe Vaseline jelly outshines Aquaphor. It's interesting to note that research suggests Vaseline may clog pores, while Aquaphor doesn't have that issue. I also appreciated your insights about the three other companies you mentioned that are supporting medical schools and initiatives. Keep sharing the knowledge!
Hi I just discovered your channel! So happy I did! I used Nivea lipbalm for my dry knuckles and under eyes since many years before bed. It started in high school for me. Carrying one around and hands were always dry I would appy it to my knuckles. And lack of funds for beauty creams I just applied a touch undee eyes at night as I keep a stick on my nightstand. I was curious if Acquafor was better. This reminds me of when margarine came out as the butter alternative and a bunch of new health issues began. I went back to butter after being made afraid of it since childhood. Guess what? I noticed better skin, as in more plump, texture and retaining hydration, healthier hair and my thyroid is more stable. Butter like Vaseline is under rated. My mom only ever used Nivea original on her face and Vaseline for other areas. And Dove soap. She never had wrinkles, never wore makeup until she passed at 78. She was youthful, naturally beautiful always. Poverty cornered her into being simple, but it actually helped. I pray that I age like she did. I just went back to Nivea lip balms and original cream. They are the best for hydration! The scent is wonderful. Don’t break what works. Cerave is good as a non greasy body cream but it is overhyped. But Vaseline is a MUST. You can apply it to cuts, burns, rashes, face, as a makeup remover ( what I do), as a primer, as an overnight foot and hand softer under gloves or socks, as a dry hair tips conditioner, as an anti rusting for your car or any bolts nuts etc, as a water proof sealer, as a conditioner for tools and garden tools. To remove goopy sticky residue on packaging and shoe and leather conditioners. I always clean my shoes boots purses with it and condition leather couch and car seats. In small amounts. I would keep one for beauty, one for DIY, kitchen, and or garage. Nivea and Vaseline are important if we go into an apocalypse for me anyway. As for avocado oil in the Acquafor, i am allergic to latex so anything avocado I stay away from. They should stop using it so many ppl react and do not know avocado is in the latex family. And they keep ingesting it or using it.
Thank you for doing this video!! We have all thought that the more expensive newer products are better because they COST more and are shoved in our faces through advertising! I believe in the PURE cheaper products!!!
Thank you for mentioning its best to use the original Vaseline. I have noticed a difference with the formula that has the coco butter, it’s hard to describe, but the consistency is different. It also performs different. I had to switch to the original, and the results for me are better.
I had a procedure done on an ingrown toenail, and my podiatrist had me using Vaseline on my toe to help moisturize and help heal. I thought that was absurd, but to my amazement, it worked! I've been using Vaseline on my 58 year old face most of my life, and I attribute my glowing skin to that and also frim obtaining from smoking and alcohol.
Petroleum jelly gets a bad rap but Vaseline brand in particular is ultra clarified and safe. It’s widely used in medicine. My Mayo dermatologist recommends it. During the two years my face was a mess due to a combination of topical steroid withdrawal and newly diagnosed allergic contact dermatitis (it took two years to recover from both), all I could use as skincare was Vaseline. It brought me so much relief, protected my skin, and when I put makeup on for work, my concealer did sit very nicely over it! I have to make my own lip balm because there is not a commercial balm in existence that doesn’t contain at least one of my allergens and I use Vaseline as one of the four ingredients in my formula. It’s wonderful.
I agree, and I use Vaseline, too.I've used many products. I'm 64 and find that many products bother my skin. Vaseline is what I use, too. I used to use shea butter and still can as long as it is natural, but Vaseline healed my face, and I love it.
Thank you Michelle for this. Was wondering about the difference. I haven’t looked greatly but had only seen Aquaphor on Amazon here in the UK. Eurecin is a brand of Aquaphor here but Vaseline has been a standard bathroom item in the UK always and I find it wonderful for dry patches on the face too . Yet to try under concealer.
My mother died at age 98. She was born in 1911. I remember her using Vaseline as a face cream when I was a child. She did it all her adult life. And believe it or not, her mother (my grandmother), who was born in 1881 also used it all her life. That's how long Vaseline has been around and how long women have been using it. I use it too, of course.
Great video, thank you, however in my community my people have used Vaseline for decades and decades. Most of us used on our children after bathing them and especially in the winter months. Most of us swear by it especially people over 50. We got fancy and thought down on Vaseline, me included. I am returning and got some Vaseline under the cabinet, will be breaking the jar back out. Great information! Very appreciated
Another great option, that works really well for me is the big tub of Vanni cream moisturizing ointment, who, Dr. dray passage, suggested this to see a moisture in.
My husband once had to visit a dermatologist for his rashes and I will never forget the moment the doctor stopped, held up a bottle of cera ve cream like an infomercial and gave a speech about the product like we were at a seminar. I was laughing all the way home and we never went back.
This has nothing to do with Vaseline on the face, but I have another awesome use for Vaseline. My kids are grown now but when they were both babies, i used a thin layer of Vaseline as diaper rash preventative at every diaper change. Both of my kids never had diaper rash ever.
wow THNK U SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS DETAILED INFO!!!!IWAS ALSO enlightened by a comment on this !WE would love a vid on trying the vaseline stick for lips to see if works !!although it probably isn't as smooth as the original original !!maybe people a bit younger but still slightly dry skin types might like it for the under eyes ..thnks again🥰
Thank you so much for this video mostly comparing the ingredients which I’ve been meaning to do but just have been lazy. I really really appreciate it and I am 43 and I swear by Vaseline and I love it and I will never give it up. I like it much better than Aquaphor as well.
Here is a tip. Spread the aquaphor on the back or palm of your hand before you apply it to your face so it doesn't feel greasy. I love applying it that way than spread the remainder all over your hands.
Totally agree although i will say that ive been using CereVe oitment and love it way better than Aquaphor. I do it for the ceremides but when budget is tight .. vaseline.
I worked at a papermill. Many cold nights, I worked outside. I always used Vaseline on my face. It always helped keep my face from drying out from the cold weather.
You are so right, I personally switched to all things aquaphor and I do love it ( super dry skin) BUT with that being said before it , I was all Vaseline! It literally didn't dawn on me why I stopped the Vaseline til right now. Im recovering from skin cancer and skin grafts ( on my face) and my derm said only Vaseline & was like oh I use aquaphor, he repeated ONLY Vaseline. Lol and the aquaphor lip treatment gave me 3 Milia. 😩 So back to Vaseline it is and I'll use the aquaphor for my body.
I have two of the three forms of aquaphor and good ol vaseline. Going to have to do my own experiment. I am assuming that you only used the smallest amount of the vaseline... As a peds RN, I can attest to the amount of PR given to MD offices from Aquaphor, cetaphil and cerave!!
Thanks for adding to this important conversation. These brands are the big Pharma of dermatology.❤ OK, let me know, let all of us know, how the comparison works out for you
@@maturemakeupmasterclassso I tried the vaseline and it lasted longer for me. Initially the regular aquaphor and vaseline look the same, but the vaseline looks better as the night goes on. The aquaphor tends to look drier with time. Vaseline for the win for me! Thank you!!
Just bought Vaseline yesterday. I do like Aquaphor for a good hand cream. Cetaphil is that good, inexpensive product recommended by a lot of derms as a mild cleanser and moisturizer for acne prone, eczema and other skin conditions. It certainly helped my skin, my daughters' skin and scores of others to calm facial skin irritation and such down. I do promote the comparable Walmart Equate brand as a cheaper, works as well product in both cleanser and moisturizer, though.
Great comparison video! I bought Vaseline a while back but have been too nervous to put it on my face. Going to finally try it after watching this video 😊 Just found your channel and subscribing!
I use Vaseline with Aloe every morning and night after cleaning and moisturizing...not a lot, just a little with my ring finger. Grew up with it. I'm 68 years old...Ole School stuff still works!😉
Love Vaseline. My dermatologist told me don’t waste $200 on wrinkle cream instead spend a couple of dollars buy a jar of Vaseline. I love it, my face, hands , legs and feet love it.
My 98 year old Grammie used Vaseline (which with her accent was Baseline) as her facial moisturizer every day for decades. Her skin looked incredible until the day she died. Barely a wrinkle and supple texture! My sis and I would marvel at her skin. I recently had a erbium yag laser facial resurfacing and have used it every day for the past two months and plan on continuing to use it as my night moisturizer for the rest of my life. Grammie was right!
I am SO glad I found yoyr site by accident! I often wondered uf anyone would ever do a page deconstructing facial products & skin care by ingredients. I am in o way a makeup professional but I gave myself a layman'seducation in chemistry from the early 70s up til now & have always wondered if I should do experimental stuff abt the effects certain ingredients seem to have on my skin, now that I'm starting to hear my own "complaints/observations" coming from much younger women. Theonething that drew me in rt away was your references toVaseline!I have actually bern using this as an augmentation to my regukar skin care ALL MY LIFE. So I can voych fir how well it works when combined w/regular, currently popular skin care routines. 😉
If you use Yuka app it says vaseline is dangerous. aquaphor lip repair immediate relief is safe with no mineral oil, aquaphor lip repair stick with aloe vera is safe, and aquaphor lip repair with coconut oil is safe. Thank you for the break down on the ingredients i appreciate you and ur help!
This year had a large operation on my face for melanoma. My specialist dermatologist and surgeon recommended vaseline from day 2, and it was brilliant. He recommends it after any operations, procedures, burns etc.
Aquaphor is so expensive too compared to Vaseline at maybe $5 for a nice size jug of it. I lather my whole body in Vaseline after a blot myself dry from a shower. What a great feeling and it doesn't feel greasy
Great information. Thank you. Have you used Albolene? It has been around for forever and I just bought it for the first time. I am wondering how it compares to both Vaseline and Aquaphor.
Hi Michelle! Cami Law here! Sorry this is under my Work account! lol! Ok! So I use “Agency” skincare? And they have an eye formula with caffeine, and Tretinoin, 2%, but it feels ALOT, like Vaseline! Do you know anything about that formula? I have loved it, but, wonder if putting the Vaseline over it would be too much? Using Demi over the top has been amazing! I am wondering if it has Petroleum in their formula? Such amazing videos as ALWAYS! You look fabulous!!! 🙌🏻♥️🙏🏻
Off topic but that hair color is so beautiful on you ! I need to do whatever you are doing because your skin is also fresh and clear. On topic: Both products give me milia if I use under my eyes. I like one commenters suggestion of using Cerave SA to treat so I will try that. Very informative video. Thanks 🙏🏻
From Italy! Ti ringrazio per questo video che ha chiarito definitivamente le differenze fra acquafor e vaseline❤aggiungo che hai un aspetto stupendo ma perche usare i filtri per migliorare la tua già magnifica pelle e dare quell'impressione rarefatta? Oppure anche tu mi dirai che sono le luci, come molte altre youtuber italiane e non dicono di utilizzare? Comunque sei davvero brava e adoro il tuo lavoro. Perdona la franchezza
Michelle, I wish you would cover peach's skin care.I'm very intrigued by her natural approach to beautiful skin without makeup.I love makeup and I'll always wear it.But her approach is very , very interesting to me would love your take on it
I will try to check it out but as a 30 yr pro makeup artist, I could never forgo makeup. I love it so much and it’s the whole reason I went into make up back in the 90s.
As an artist, makeup is artistry, its an expression of who I am. I’ve never related to natural girly, I admire them. I just can’t relate and I grew up with a mom who looked like I dream of Jeannie so we are not natural girl in my DNA.😂
@maturemakeupmasterclass oh I'm with you 100%! I love my makeup. Not a fan of natural girl! Her no makeup look is how she promotes how incredible her skincare magic works and promotes no filter filming. Her specialty is holistic skincare that can address all skin issues and she raves about Vaseline brand only petroleum jelly!
I love being a peach girl, she has really good products, but I still cheat on her once in a while, lol especially during special occasions. But going natural is very freeing………. Why can’t we embrace are natural beauty too??🥰
My mother had four kids plus she fostered lots of babies before they were adopted out (60 years ago). She always used Vaseline on their bottoms to prevent diaper rash and none of them ever got diaper rash!
I'm 58 and have only had wonderful results from Aquaphor. Anytime I've used baseline on my face, I've broken out, and van take up to a week for rash, blemishes, etc. To leave. Word to the wise, it is best not make blanket statements, as everyone's skin is different.
Esthetician here. After very strong peels, we tested Aquaphor on one set of clients and Vaseline on the other side of clients. Result clients that used Aquaphor had skin care reactions like rashes. The ones using Vaseline had no reaction on their skin. From that point on we stopped using Aquaphor

Aquaphor has lanolin in it - it maybe an allergic reaction, especially if you're applying it to the eye area.

The Vaseline tip for before concealer application works like a charm. Best tip ever. No more creasing ir caring.

❤ I’d also suggest that ALL of us keep around baggies or makeup bags w a few disposable gloves. Where? in diaper bags, cars, even a few in our handbags. There r sooo many kinds of them available. Why? Tons of reasons! Diaper changing, pumping gas, cleaning out small spaces in the car, packaging meat for freezing, cleaning at home, rubbing on pain creams in our bedrooms, etc. My husband has had a transplant and being zealous about what’s on everything we touch has become a huge deal over 9 yrs! So I began keeping disposable gloves in diff places. I can’t believe how often we use them! Not a makeup tip, but perhaps someone needs to know! ❤ your videos!! 🎉😊
Thanks for the tip,I’ve never tried Vaseline as an under eye primer. I love Vaseline for eye makeup remover,on my lips at night & dry elbows etc. I’m gonna a try it tomorrow as an under eye primer. ❤ from Washington state
Awesome! You will love it ❤
It makes your mascara come off. U get racoon eyes
I just bought a huge jar of vaseline, i also have a tube of aquaphor. Thank you for this very helpful information.
Girl I thought u we’re maybe 37! U look amazing!
Me too! 57? Wow
Vaseline is so underrated as is ponds for double cleanse💕
And dont forget Abolene!❤
My father lived until 90 and he used Ponds cold cream as a moisturizer morning and night for most of his life. He didn’t have any wrinkles.
So agree. Love ponds cold cream cleanser in a double cleanse
@@maturemakeupmasterclass. This is a great product but I never hear about it, I've used it for years to remove mascara..
Thank you. This was really helpful. I was wondering about all the different Aquaphor formulas. I'm looking forward to trying the original Vaseline.
Glad it was helpful!
I have Vaseline in a squeese tube (the original) much easier to use than the tub.
I had no idea about this! Thank you for doing the research and sharing it with us!
I am 41 and I have dry skin and I use a very very thin layer of Aquafor on my skin....all over. It is basically Vaseline but with Vitamin E and Lanolin added depending on which of their products you use. The lines on my forehead are disappearing. The crepey lines that were forming under my eyes is gone. Again, I have always had dry skin. This likely wouldn't work for oily or combination skin types.
Also, another little tip...in black culture, Vaseline use all over the skin from little up is common. The high melanin protection for the skin with the addition of the vaseline is why black women look so good even into old age.
Wow!! I didn’t know this!! Thank you for sharing!!! It’s soo true!!! THE most beautiful skin! I have many Black friends, and I would never guess their ages because they don’t have even ONE WRINKLE!!! ♥️
Oh I'm sooo glad I found this video and your channel!!! Thank you so much ❤ You look great btw! Wish you a happy and blessed new year!
Much love from Germany
TY for describing the differences😃👍 you have great skin...taking ur advise✌
I really appreciate your detailed and dilligent research, thank you thank you!
Good morning 🙏 everyone. I use the lips on my lips and the big stick healing balm on my face and the BIG JAR everywhere else. The BIG JAR is wonderful on my feet with socks for the softest feet ever. WOW 😮this makes so much sense because the Vaseline keeps the barrier between your face and all the makeup. It will probably keep your skincare locked down into your skin. ❤ Thanks, Michelle, for doing the research for us as always. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Maurita❤
@mauritaedwards8917are you using aquaphor or Vaseline?
Awesome job! Thank you for breaking everything down-it really helps! Personally, I believe Vaseline jelly outshines Aquaphor. It's interesting to note that research suggests Vaseline may clog pores, while Aquaphor doesn't have that issue. I also appreciated your insights about the three other companies you mentioned that are supporting medical schools and initiatives. Keep sharing the knowledge!
Hi I just discovered your channel! So happy I did! I used Nivea lipbalm for my dry knuckles and under eyes since many years before bed. It started in high school for me. Carrying one around and hands were always dry I would appy it to my knuckles. And lack of funds for beauty creams I just applied a touch undee eyes at night as I keep a stick on my nightstand. I was curious if Acquafor was better.
This reminds me of when margarine came out as the butter alternative and a bunch of new health issues began. I went back to butter after being made afraid of it since childhood. Guess what? I noticed better skin, as in more plump, texture and retaining hydration, healthier hair and my thyroid is more stable. Butter like Vaseline is under rated.
My mom only ever used Nivea original on her face and Vaseline for other areas. And Dove soap. She never had wrinkles, never wore makeup until she passed at 78. She was youthful, naturally beautiful always. Poverty cornered her into being simple, but it actually helped. I pray that I age like she did. I just went back to Nivea lip balms and original cream. They are the best for hydration! The scent is wonderful. Don’t break what works. Cerave is good as a non greasy body cream but it is overhyped. But Vaseline is a MUST. You can apply it to cuts, burns, rashes, face, as a makeup remover ( what I do), as a primer, as an overnight foot and hand softer under gloves or socks, as a dry hair tips conditioner, as an anti rusting for your car or any bolts nuts etc, as a water proof sealer, as a conditioner for tools and garden tools.
To remove goopy sticky residue on packaging and shoe and leather conditioners. I always clean my shoes boots purses with it and condition leather couch and car seats. In small amounts. I would keep one for beauty, one for DIY, kitchen, and or garage.
Nivea and Vaseline are important if we go into an apocalypse for me anyway.
As for avocado oil in the Acquafor, i am allergic to latex so anything avocado I stay away from. They should stop using it so many ppl react and do not know avocado is in the latex family. And they keep ingesting it or using it.
Thank you for doing this video!! We have all thought that the more expensive newer products are better because they COST more and are shoved in our faces through advertising! I believe in the PURE cheaper products!!!
I believe in both but often luxury is expensive packaging.
Thank you for mentioning its best to use the original Vaseline. I have noticed a difference with the formula that has the coco butter, it’s hard to describe, but the consistency is different. It also performs different. I had to switch to the original, and the results for me are better.
I like the cocoa butter one, but I won't buy it again .
Another derm says the opposite
I had a procedure done on an ingrown toenail, and my podiatrist had me using Vaseline on my toe to help moisturize and help heal. I thought that was absurd, but to my amazement, it worked!
I've been using Vaseline on my 58 year old face most of my life, and I attribute my glowing skin to that and also frim obtaining from smoking and alcohol.
I have both and to me it’s either or! They both work well for me and I love you for all you do for us!! Love you Chelle ❤❤😘🙋♀️
Thanks for sharing!! They are pretty close! The Vaseline just fills in my nooks and crannies better😂
Petroleum jelly gets a bad rap but Vaseline brand in particular is ultra clarified and safe. It’s widely used in medicine. My Mayo dermatologist recommends it. During the two years my face was a mess due to a combination of topical steroid withdrawal and newly diagnosed allergic contact dermatitis (it took two years to recover from both), all I could use as skincare was Vaseline. It brought me so much relief, protected my skin, and when I put makeup on for work, my concealer did sit very nicely over it! I have to make my own lip balm because there is not a commercial balm in existence that doesn’t contain at least one of my allergens and I use Vaseline as one of the four ingredients in my formula. It’s wonderful.
Would love if you could share your formula!
I agree, and I use Vaseline, too.I've used many products. I'm 64 and find that many products bother my skin. Vaseline is what I use, too. I used to use shea butter and still can as long as it is natural, but Vaseline healed my face, and I love it.
Awesome, Yvette! Thank you ❤
Thank you Michelle for this. Was wondering about the difference.
I haven’t looked greatly but had only seen Aquaphor on Amazon here in the UK.
Eurecin is a brand of Aquaphor here but Vaseline has been a standard bathroom item in the UK always and I find it wonderful for dry patches on the face too . Yet to try under concealer.
I havent touched aquaphor since my Vaseline test!
@@maturemakeupmasterclass I will buy a pot just for facial use. Thank you x
Totally off topic, but you have a Yorkie! ❤❤ We have a Yorkipoo who acts like a Yorkie. Love them!
This video was interesting!
My mother died at age 98. She was born in 1911. I remember her using Vaseline as a face cream when I was a child. She did it all her adult life. And believe it or not, her mother (my grandmother), who was born in 1881 also used it all her life. That's how long Vaseline has been around and how long women have been using it. I use it too, of course.
Great video, thank you, however in my community my people have used Vaseline for decades and decades. Most of us used on our children after bathing them and especially in the winter months. Most of us swear by it especially people over 50. We got fancy and thought down on Vaseline, me included. I am returning and got some Vaseline under the cabinet, will be breaking the jar back out. Great information! Very appreciated
Another great option, that works really well for me is the big tub of Vanni cream moisturizing ointment, who, Dr. dray passage, suggested this to see a moisture in.
Vanicream is safe for acne prone skin too❤
My husband once had to visit a dermatologist for his rashes and I will never forget the moment the doctor stopped, held up a bottle of cera ve cream like an infomercial and gave a speech about the product like we were at a seminar. I was laughing all the way home and we never went back.
This has nothing to do with Vaseline on the face, but I have another awesome use for Vaseline. My kids are grown now but when they were both babies, i used a thin layer of Vaseline as diaper rash preventative at every diaper change. Both of my kids never had diaper rash ever.
I bought the Aquaphor balm stick at your suggestion a few weeks ago. I like it and no irritation.
Great research there! Your skin looks fantastic! I'm going back to Vaseline.
Keep us posted ❤
wow THNK U SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS DETAILED INFO!!!!IWAS ALSO enlightened by a comment on this !WE would love a vid on trying the vaseline stick for lips to see if works !!although it probably isn't as smooth as the original original !!maybe people a bit younger but still slightly dry skin types might like it for the under eyes ..thnks again🥰
Glad it was helpful!❤
Thank you so much for this video mostly comparing the ingredients which I’ve been meaning to do but just have been lazy. I really really appreciate it and I am 43 and I swear by Vaseline and I love it and I will never give it up. I like it much better than Aquaphor as well.
Here is a tip. Spread the aquaphor on the back or palm of your hand before you apply it to your face so it doesn't feel greasy. I love applying it that way than spread the remainder all over your hands.
Vaseline is amazing! I have never used as primer but I love this!!
Try it! Its so pretty
I've used Vaseline, my whole life. My 91 year old mom has too. She had no wrinkles. I'm 65 and have very few wrinkles. It works!
Thank you .. great tips as always ❤
Totally agree although i will say that ive been using CereVe oitment and love it way better than Aquaphor. I do it for the ceremides but when budget is tight .. vaseline.
I worked at a papermill. Many cold nights, I worked outside. I always used Vaseline on my face. It always helped keep my face from drying out from the cold weather.
Great information! Love your classes!
Thank you❤
You are so right, I personally switched to all things aquaphor and I do love it ( super dry skin) BUT with that being said before it , I was all Vaseline! It literally didn't dawn on me why I stopped the Vaseline til right now. Im recovering from skin cancer and skin grafts ( on my face) and my derm said only Vaseline & was like oh I use aquaphor, he repeated ONLY Vaseline. Lol and the aquaphor lip treatment gave me 3 Milia. 😩 So back to Vaseline it is and I'll use the aquaphor for my body.
I have two of the three forms of aquaphor and good ol vaseline. Going to have to do my own experiment. I am assuming that you only used the smallest amount of the vaseline...
As a peds RN, I can attest to the amount of PR given to MD offices from Aquaphor, cetaphil and cerave!!
Thanks for adding to this important conversation. These brands are the big Pharma of dermatology.❤ OK, let me know, let all of us know, how the comparison works out for you
@@maturemakeupmasterclassso I tried the vaseline and it lasted longer for me. Initially the regular aquaphor and vaseline look the same, but the vaseline looks better as the night goes on. The aquaphor tends to look drier with time. Vaseline for the win for me! Thank you!!
Just bought Vaseline yesterday. I do like Aquaphor for a good hand cream. Cetaphil is that good, inexpensive product recommended by a lot of derms as a mild cleanser and moisturizer for acne prone, eczema and other skin conditions. It certainly helped my skin, my daughters' skin and scores of others to calm facial skin irritation and such down. I do promote the comparable Walmart Equate brand as a cheaper, works as well product in both cleanser and moisturizer, though.
Aquaphor has lanolin in it. If you’re allergic to wool / lanolin it can be a problem with Aquaphor.
Only the jar does, possibly squeeze tube
The Bible verse and Blessing at the end got me to hit the subscribe. Love ❤️
Great comparison video! I bought Vaseline a while back but have been too nervous to put it on my face. Going to finally try it after watching this video 😊 Just found your channel and subscribing!
I use Vaseline with Aloe every morning and night after cleaning and moisturizing...not a lot, just a little with my ring finger. Grew up with it. I'm 68 years old...Ole School stuff still works!😉
Bless you Michelle for doing all that extensive research ! ❤ Will the Vaseline work with Seint❓
It does ❤
Thoughtful research and comparisons.❤
Thanks ❤
Thank you for sharing the great info.
So many things I didn't know. So informative. I have my answer. Thank you so much!
Love Vaseline. My dermatologist told me don’t waste $200 on wrinkle cream instead spend a couple of dollars buy a jar of Vaseline. I love it, my face, hands , legs and feet love it.
My 98 year old Grammie used Vaseline (which with her accent was Baseline) as her facial moisturizer every day for decades. Her skin looked incredible until the day she died. Barely a wrinkle and supple texture! My sis and I would marvel at her skin. I recently had a erbium yag laser facial resurfacing and have used it every day for the past two months and plan on continuing to use it as my night moisturizer for the rest of my life. Grammie was right!
I am SO glad I found yoyr site by accident! I often wondered uf anyone would ever do a page deconstructing facial products & skin care by ingredients. I am in o way a makeup professional but I gave myself a layman'seducation in chemistry from the early 70s up til now & have always wondered if I should do experimental stuff abt the effects certain ingredients seem to have on my skin, now that I'm starting to hear my own "complaints/observations" coming from much younger women.
Theonething that drew me in rt away was your references toVaseline!I have actually bern using this as an augmentation to my regukar skin care ALL MY LIFE. So I can voych fir how well it works when combined w/regular, currently popular skin care routines. 😉
If you use Yuka app it says vaseline is dangerous.
aquaphor lip repair immediate relief is safe with no mineral oil, aquaphor lip repair stick with aloe vera is safe, and aquaphor lip repair with coconut oil is safe. Thank you for the break down on the ingredients i appreciate you and ur help!
This year had a large operation on my face for melanoma. My specialist dermatologist and surgeon recommended vaseline from day 2, and it was brilliant. He recommends it after any operations, procedures, burns etc.
Aquaphor is so expensive too compared to Vaseline at maybe $5 for a nice size jug of it. I lather my whole body in Vaseline after a blot myself dry from a shower. What a great feeling and it doesn't feel greasy
Great information. Thank you. Have you used Albolene? It has been around for forever and I just bought it for the first time. I am wondering how it compares to both Vaseline and Aquaphor.
Hi Michelle! Cami Law here! Sorry this is under my Work account! lol!
Ok! So I use “Agency” skincare? And they have an eye formula with caffeine, and Tretinoin, 2%, but it feels ALOT, like Vaseline! Do you know anything about that formula? I have loved it, but, wonder if putting the Vaseline over it would be too much? Using Demi over the top has been amazing! I am wondering if it has Petroleum in their formula?
Such amazing videos as ALWAYS! You look fabulous!!! 🙌🏻♥️🙏🏻
How do you get your make up to stay on over the Vaseline?
I really like the Aquaphor! Thanks for the tip!!
I do too, I really do, but vaseline fills in my nooks and crannies more 😂❤
Off topic but that hair color is so beautiful on you ! I need to do whatever you are doing because your skin is also fresh and clear. On topic: Both products give me milia if I use under my eyes. I like one commenters suggestion of using Cerave SA to treat so I will try that. Very informative video. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for excellent information. Stay well and health
Thank you, I used Vaseline this morning without knowing about any of this new treant it looked amazing
Watching you from France (I am french!), I am also using vaseline.
From Italy! Ti ringrazio per questo video che ha chiarito definitivamente le differenze fra acquafor e vaseline❤aggiungo che hai un aspetto stupendo ma perche usare i filtri per migliorare la tua già magnifica pelle e dare quell'impressione rarefatta? Oppure anche tu mi dirai che sono le luci, come molte altre youtuber italiane e non dicono di utilizzare? Comunque sei davvero brava e adoro il tuo lavoro. Perdona la franchezza
You have beautiful skin. I was shocked when you told your age----I thought maybe early to mid 30s! Blessings to you!
I’ve applied Vaseline all over my face then make up on top and it was flawless and not greasy at all 🤯
Michelle, I wish you would cover peach's skin care.I'm very intrigued by her natural approach to beautiful skin without makeup.I love makeup and I'll always wear it.But her approach is very , very interesting to me would love your take on it
I will try to check it out but as a 30 yr pro makeup artist, I could never forgo makeup. I love it so much and it’s the whole reason I went into make up back in the 90s.
As an artist, makeup is artistry, its an expression of who I am. I’ve never related to natural girly, I admire them. I just can’t relate and I grew up with a mom who looked like I dream of Jeannie so we are not natural girl in my DNA.😂
@maturemakeupmasterclass oh I'm with you 100%! I love my makeup. Not a fan of natural girl! Her no makeup look is how she promotes how incredible her skincare magic works and promotes no filter filming. Her specialty is holistic skincare that can address all skin issues and she raves about Vaseline brand only petroleum jelly!
I love being a peach girl, she has really good products, but I still cheat on her once in a while, lol especially during special occasions. But going natural is very freeing………. Why can’t we embrace are natural beauty too??🥰
Great video. Yes to Vaseline!
The way you applied the Aquaphor in one video was different than how I’ve seen others (Angie, e.g.). Repeating that demonstration might be helpful.
Got you! I use the thinnest veil ❤
Thx so for the info. I really appreciate all your advice.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this today. I have always liked Vaseline and it has been my standard for years and raising my children ( babies butts).
Excellent on those bottoms 😂❤
Good ole Vaseline... we should've known!
Right??? 😂❤
My mother had four kids plus she fostered lots of babies before they were adopted out (60 years ago). She always used Vaseline on their bottoms to prevent diaper rash and none of them ever got diaper rash!
Grew up with Vaseline still use it today absolutely the best
I'm 58 and have only had wonderful results from Aquaphor. Anytime I've used baseline on my face, I've broken out, and van take up to a week for rash, blemishes, etc. To leave. Word to the wise, it is best not make blanket statements, as everyone's skin is different.
