   Love this stuff! I use it primarily for dry lips, dry cuticles, and slathered over my dry feet under socks for a quick moisture treatment. These are all things I’ve previously done with plain Vaseline and this definitely outperforms it. I carry a small jar around with me in the winter and, while I don’t love the greasy petroleum feeling, it’s absolutely the best thing on my dry, cracked hands in the winter — comparable to Aquaphor at a fraction of the price.

   I also use this, as many MUA-ers do, as night cream. My evening routine is thus:

   1) Cleans with Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Face Wash
   2) Tone with Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Toner over face and neck
   3) Apply Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Exfoliating Lotion over face and neck
   4) Brush teeth (I’ve found that if I move straight on to the rest of the routine without giving the BHA a minute or two to absorb, I can wake up with some irritated patches)
   5) Apply CeraVe Moisturizing cream over face and neck
   6) Pat face with damp palms
   7) Swipe two fingers lightly over Vaseline with Cocoa Butter and apply to damp face and neck.

   Applying the jelly over damp skin not only gives it some moisture to seal in, but greatly cuts down on that greasy, sticky feeling one might feel otherwise. I’ve been following this routine for about a week and wake up with smooth, moist, poreless skin — my hyperpigmentation is reduced, and my skin feels firmer and more resilient with an inner glow.

   Since I’ve never used plain Vaseline this way, I can’t comment to whether or not this formula performs significantly better than regular Vaseline would. Regardless, this stuff is stellar.

   I’m dropping a star for the scent — I tend to either love or hate cocoa butter scented products, and with this stuff there’s an artificial plasticky scent that I don’t love. Luckily it dissipates quickly, and the benefits make it well worth it!

   I don’t think there’s actually much cocoa butter in this— it’s probably about 95% petroleum jelly— but it smells AMAZING and that’s why I like it better than regular Vaseline. I’ve always liked Vaseline for many basic skincare purposes (chapped lips, cracked hands and feet, even dry facial skin in winter); the Cocoa Butter version has a light but delicious French vanilla-cocoa scent that makes it a real pleasure to use!

   I absolutely love this stuff! It smells just like cocoa butter, but not sickenly so. Just a nice light scent. It leaves my skin so soft after I get out of the shower. Also it doesn’t feel great after you rub it in! Just try it!

   I love this stuff! It had multiple purposes, I use it as a lip balm, as option from time to time; especially for my children. This is the only thing that would work for my toddler’s set skin. I’ve also used it for my hair when I didn’t have anything else, (my sister used it in her hair all the time). It’s very affordable, and I’ve already repurchased 3 times and will definitely continue to do so. I honestly like to have at least 2 jars in the house at all times.

   This is the best vaseline lip product. I’ve tried the plain, rose, creme brulee, and so on and the cocoa butter is the most effective. I put this on at bedtime and it’s still on my lips the next morning…which is a good thing. Very affordable…holy grail for me.

   My lips get chapped easily. This makes my lips look and feel so hydrated! They also look much more plump after applying this stuff. The container is so cute. It’s like a mini vaseline jar. Much better than chapstick.

   I cannot even put into proper words how much i love this product. When i was on a heavy duty acne med i bought a fourpack of the big jars on amazon & never regretted my decision. So good for any chapped areas on your body like cheeks hands etc. & i also love using this stuff for my lips because it has the same formula as the lip therapy & works soooo well at moisturizing them. I dont use it as a lotion because i find its too sticky to use all over but i do love putting it on my feet at night with some fuzzy socks, makes them baby smooth:) i would buy this stuff again in a heartbeat & plan too whenever i run out.

   Sigh… I am a huge fan of vaseline for my very acne-prone face. You’d be amazed how well of a job it does at locking in moisture if applied to damp skin. The petroleum jelly never clogs my pores…which is surprising given all the emollient ingredients that do. Cocoa butter is one of those moisturizing agents that turn my skin into break out city. 🙁 It seems like all plant based ingredients clog my pores. Shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut derivatives…ect.

   The cocoa butter in this is what killed it for me. IF *you* can tolerate cocoa butter, all the more power to you. I wish I could use it because cocoa butter IS very nourishing & hydrating. Skincare is very your-mileage-may-vary.

   For one, this smells so good. It’s of course scented like cocoa butter, but like vanilla-y and creamy ;-; It’s very smooth and moisturizing, I feel that other petroleum jellies can be a bit more thick. This one feels very light and feels slightly more greasy than other petroleum jellies I’ve tried. But I dig it, makes my lips and skin so smooth and I can’t get over the smell ????????

    I would definitely buy this again. I use this for dry spots on my body. put this on my lips to make it smooth. I put this on my brows and lashes, it makes them grow longer and thicker.
