Is 'Slugging' or Slathering Vaseline an effective treatment for acne? | Ensoul Medical Clinic

Can Vaseline be used to treat Acne? Is this another TikTok skincare trend we should be paying attention to?

The latest trend on Tiktok also known as 'slugging', involves slathering your face with Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly, right before bed with the goal of waking up to radiant, soft, glowy skin. But does it really help improve acne? or could it end up clogging the pores even more than it did before? In this video, Dr. Chiam reacts to the slugging trend that has been taking TikTok by storm.

I'm the creator of the video and Vaseline did help me to heal my skin, I must mention I was also using retinoids

[kaylafourie]

yes it is oil based but it is non comedogenic so it wont clog your pores, and is suitable for all skin types including acne prone.

He is scared they won't get any more appointments

I have a oily skin type. I have been using Vaseline every night on my face (not using any moisturizer at night) since 4 days and my skin has become so soft. I can't stop touching it. I don't have acne and I don't think Vaseline is going to make me acne prone. I use it only at night.
PS- Vaseline is so underrated.

I'm scared to put Vaseline on my face...
But I tried and for months now it didn't break me out... I'm amazed with the result it makes my face soft and acne free...

Sorry to disappoint you doc but I been using it for 1 week now and my acne cleared … tried so many products which made my face worse. Only Vaseline helped. Ps: I don’t have a oily skin… mine is rather dry

[Mr_Kenneth]

Doc, you need to swot up on the healing power of Petroleum jelly. Vaseline helps to accelerate the repair of skin cells. that's why cuts heal so quickly. Vaseline also helps your skin to look younger and glow with a smoother texture as it pulls the blood towards the surface. $200 please

I’ve been using Vaseline on my face at night after my skincare for quite a while now and my skin has gotten so much more soft and I feel like a lot of my acne and acne scars have gone away, and I have really sensitive acne prone skin 🤷‍♀️

[chijinwalebechi-fkrt]

I started using Vaseline ony face like a month now. The results is like magic, everyone around me is what im using on my face... And my face became so smooth and soft... I can't stop using it for now

[kermetthehog]

It’s been the best thing for my skin, it’s not always used the right way but when it is it’s incredibly beneficial and doesn’t cause acne (can cause milia around eyes if over used tho)

Chemistry speaking there’s a huge difference between oil based and wax based product. Technically Vaseline is a WAX based product and many got the wrong idea that petroleum jelly is comedogenic.

It works by trapping EVERYTHING underneath the skin including dirt and moisture. So naturally if you have a poor cleansing habit or less thorough cleansing in the shower, it traps the dirt or whatever residue that’s making your skin prone to acne.

[acandycrushsagajourney]

yall it helps me. the vaseline works but you have to apply moisturizer first and wait til it dries and then put the vaseline on top of ur face

[inefficientsolo]

Vaseline locks in moisture drink lots of water and apply Vaseline to for face everyday it will help a lot make sure you using 100% white petroleum

[kfugkxz]

I'm not sure about this, but I use Vaseline for two-three days, my acne are almost gone all 😅

[pisangambuk]

Remember NOT EVERYONE can tolerate with this 'slugging' method unless you try, because im oily acne prone and long behold my skin clogged and now im dealing with clogged skin and many tiny white head pop out...

[zoyaahmad]

I have oily acne prone skin, so if u have dry skin this could actually work great for u. Personally this made me break out more and clogges my pores

[Abbi-is-here]

I have very oily skin and I’m acne prone but I decided to try it and it cleared my face so much and I no longer have redness or acne anymore but for a few minor spots

[erebusmint]

This book was an absolute atrocity, a crime against humanity, but you are HYSTERICAL!!! Absolutely a new favorite booktuber!!!

[puroobsessed]

So, vasaline users, Guys so i have mild acne bur acne scars and sensitive skin, do you think the scars and acne will go away if i use Vaseline?

[capturedbyshelly]

I’ve used this since the 90s I never had any issues using it. I guess it depends on your skin type
