I agree with what everyone has said. I generally use it for one purpose - removing unwanted make up that refuses to go away. No matter what, Vaseline will lift it right out of your skin/lips. Ff you dye your hair at home, and you always get a spot where the dye hits your skin there is a fix- if you put a ring around your face/ears/hair line at neck of Vaseline, it protects your skin from any colour run off from you scalpe. That way it washes right off! So it's got benefits aside from being a good moisturizer.

I am happy to see so many good reviews about Vaseline. This product reached a sort of iconic stature in my dorm days. We called him Vasel, our friend who was there to moisturize anything at any time. We had all gone through the whole teenaged lipsmacker phase, and were ready for a better moisturizer with no nausiating scent (you always love your new lipsmacker smell, until you use it a few times). I use vasel for my lips, my nose when I have a cold, under my eyes at night and on other really dry spots. It's a little greasy feeling, but very effective.

Vaseline is a very good moisturizer that will not irritate your skin because there are no perfumes or irritant chemicals in it like other moisturizers out there. I agree with Artist and recommend getting the convienience size since the tube is squeezable and therefore more hygenic! Because Vaseline tends to not stay exactly where you put it I recommend putting it on when you are at home for the night or in the evening. It works very well on very chapped lips or other patches of dry skin.

Vaseline is a classic moisturizer. What I reccommend is getting the convienience size, SQUEEZABLE, TUBE instead of the one that comes in the jar (that is if you don't need a lot). It is definitely more hygenic then sticking your fingers in jar! I mostly use it for my lips and some dry areas (elbows, knees) before I go to bed at night. A little bit goes a LONG way! Because Vaseline tends to get a bit thin, it works better as a night moisturizer.

I find that this is always a good product to have stored in your house somewhere, for dry skin, lips, or whatever. It's super cheap too and lasts a crazy-long time!

Tip: In the dry dead cold of winter I usually get a lot of bloody noses, so to help sooth my nose, I take a Q-Tip, dip it in the jelly, then cover the inside of my nose with it. You really don't need a lot, and your nose will thank you. If it feels really strange, you probably have too much up there, so take another Q-Tip (or tissue) and clean any excess out. The Vaseline gets the rest of the broken blood vessels out and helps to soothe dry skin. I don't know about using lotions up there, but Vaseline works well and lasts into the night, for a good night sleep. This tip is from my grandmother.
