I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

    Ah man, this actually explains one of the reasons my body sucks at skin cycles and seems to produce too much skin. Thanks for the info, pity I can’t get rid of the systemic inflammation completely.

    Incidentally and a bit off topic, what’s your take on salicylic acid, if you have one?

      I react badly to it! I’ve only had luck with low% benzoyl peroxide cream, with retinol to help with hyperpigmentation.

        I do have to try some retinol. And that makes sense on the peroxide, that was not so helpful to me but the doctor did bill it as being better for whiteheads and other infected types, which I’m guessing is what your Vaseline mask helps with most.

        Thanks! It’s nice to see someone not just buying into the expensive cosmetics but going for the actual chemistry.
