FAQ – Quick Answers
Is Vaseline safe to use on my face every day?
Yes! For most people, it’s completely safe and non-comedogenic. If you’re very acne-prone, stick to non-face areas or do a patch test first.
Can Vaseline clog pores?
Pure petroleum jelly is non-comedogenic, but if mixed with heavy oils or used excessively on oily skin, it can trap debris. Use sparingly on the face if you’re prone to breakouts.
How long does it take to see results for dark spots or lips?
Most people notice softer lips in 2–3 days, pinker tint in 7–10 days, and lighter dark spots in 4–6 weeks with consistent use.
