As for slugging I recommend the Cerave Healing Ointment because you get the benefits of occlusive petrolatum as well as skin barrier-repairing ceramides.

I've been doing this for years and I had no clue that it was called "slugging" and I wish I could unlearn it lol. Btw I'm reading some of the comments and for people who are acne prone 100% petroleum jelly will NOT clog your pores. If you still get clogged pores after applying petroleum to your face it means you either didn't clean your face well enough or you didn't clean your hands well enough. The same can go for any lotion or face cream you have to dip your fingers into. You need to clean your hands VERY well and use a file or brush to get all the dirt out from under your nails before touching your face otherwise you contaminate the entire jar of moisturizer.

It might not be “comedogenic” but everyone’s skin is different. It most definitely clogs my pores. I have very small pores & even using creams w petroleum my skin gets clogged. And I hate it bc I love Vaseline.. I can use it all over but not my face. Using cleansers made w it in there tho, my skin loves.

@@Jezebel066 like I said before it's probably because you don't properly clean and exfoliate your skin or maybe you don't clean your hand well enough before applying it. If you have small pores that means it's harder to clean and stuff gets buried deeper into your skin. That's why you can use cleaners with it but not creams. I'd recommend the korean 7 step facial care routine.

I've been slugging for years. My grandmother would put Vaseline and aloe vera all over her face before bed. She had the prettiest skin!!!! Thank you for sharing!
As a person with acne-prone, sensitive, and oily skin, I’ve learn not to use it for my face but Vaseline is great for dry lips, I use Vaseline before I go to bed and I wake up with a moisturized lip, and overall Vaseline can be used for healing like cuts or damaged areas on your body

Hahaha yup! Not the most “cosmetically elegant” formulation but it does make a difference! Happy to hear it doesn’t break you out!!!
I use QV Skin lotion, it's lightweight and can be use for the body and face. The main ingredients are glycerin and petrolatum. I used it a lot to calm my irritated sensitive skin and it doesn't break me out.
I have used it for a long time, a pea size amt. rub between hands and apply to clean wet face . Feels wonderful. Doesn’t clog pores.

I have eczema in my chin and on the sides of my nose, Vaseline helps me when I have break outs and stops the itchiness. My husband has eczema in his hands and used to break out pretty bad, this is the only thing that has helped him cure the scratch marks and stop the break outs. I swear by Vaseline, it’s the best.

You look like a sunshine 😊 so cute
I know I'm late but I just recently started slugging and I have acne prone skin and it did not break me out but I feel the environment you are in affects whether you get cc or not. I would say if someone sweats a lot then I would not recommend slugging. Slugging especially with products like Hyaluronic acid made my skin so plump and hydrated the next day. But I don't slug everyday because I'm scared that my skin could get CC's 🤧 I apply my Moisturizer wait till it sinks in and then use a pea size amount and rub it in my palms and then apply it.
so underrated!!!
Your voice is so soothing ❤

I used this for my puffy eye and wrinkles . Very effective
Excellent 😍 love it! What about summer time should we remove hyaluronic acid from our routine because it’s really hot ?
Wow. You're even more beautiful without the make-up :)) I use Vaseline only under my eyes after my night routine (cleanser, toner, serums, moisturizer and eye cream.) That gives you a much more hydrated and plump eye area without the greasy pillowcase in the morning.
i used to slug (cerave healing ointment) while i had active teen acne (still do) and my skin became super hydrated and plump, but my pores got clogged and i broke out all over my face :(( i’m definitely gonna do it again once my skin clears up

Not acne prone but I do get clogged pores from certain products & this is one of them. I also read it is non comedogenic. But everyone’s skin is different. Some swear that coconut oil won’t clog your pores if you use it as a first cleanser. But if it touches my face I get bumps.
Definitely see the difference in the 2nd and 3rd day
I think ignorantly tried slugging with a product made from petroleum jelly and mint. I tried it on the area i was breaking out and it has gotten far smoother. I think i will keep doing it
I always put it before I go to sleep in the places of my face that are more prone to fine lines and i definitely see the positive effects
i have questions: i'm currently suffering from acne all over my face, would slugging somehow worsen it? can i use a moisturizer with a humectant in it instead of a serum? how would applying a humectant before the "slugging" pull moisture if the vaseline acts like a barrier that doesn't let anything in or out? does it pull moisture from the environment before you apply the vaseline and therefore the vaseline locks that moisture in?
I sleep on my side and I feel like this will just rub right off my face onto the pillow then into my hair.
