Question:

I use Vaseline every night. I never break out. I always get compliments on my skin for looking soft and clear. How does Vaseline do this for my skin?

Answer:
Vaseline or petroleum jelly works by keeping the mositure into your skin. The clarity of your skin is from your own genetics. The vaseline just keep the moisture in your skin, keeping it supple for the next day.

and NO. Vaseline do not cause break outs and it is one of the components in some moisturisers for dry skin
