Product Quality

Pros:

  • "Vaseline remains a timeless and versatile product."
  • "This large tub is Great for everything from burns, cuts, cracked Lipps."
  • "I love Vaseline, and much prefer it in this tub as the jars can be hard to open."
  • "I make my own body lotion using this as an ingredient. It’s an excellent petroleum jelly for many uses."
  • "Tip: Apply a thick layer to your lips before bed. You'll wake up with soft, hydrated lips."
  • "Vaseline is Vaseline. Was recommended by Dermatologist to apply for post surgery (have had spots on skin removed) and it works really well."

Cons:

  • "If I could leave zero stars I would! This product is disgusting! Not real vaseline."
  • "This product is not as pictured. I ordered and when I received package it said it was Healing Jelly, not Petroleum Jelly."
  • "I find this Vaseline to smell very strongly of petroleum, which I’ve never noticed from other Vaseline products."
  • "This product has a very unpleasant smell, very like petroleum itself, which is highly unusual for this type of Vaseline product."

Packaging and Size

Pros:

  • "Unopened unused Vaseline which was perfect. Great price for two BUT I wanted to carry one around my purse."
  • "The packaging the vaseline is in is good, although I don't necessarily like that I need to put my heads in the vaseline each time I want to use some."
  • "I like the small size to keep in carrying tote and for travelling."
  • "These small jars are excellent for purse, travel or just having available without having to cart around the big jar or tube."
  • "And because it's small in size, you can take it on airplane trips."
  • "The 50ml size is just right for tossing in my bag or leaving on my nightstand."
  • "Lastly, as this is under 100ml, it's a perfect travel tub to take on holiday with you."

Cons:

  • "The price for these tiny Vaselines is absolutely ridiculous."
  • "This is rather expensive for 2 tubs of Vaseline."
  • "I was shorted product. Was supposed to receive two late and two small bottles. I received one large and one small bottle."

  • "This seller is purposefully deceiving buyers. This is a TRAVEL size jar."
  • "The picture makes it look like it is a big jar of vaseline. It is tiny."
  • "The picture shows a full size jar, but this is a minute size, almost travel size and ridiculously overpriced."

Cons:

  • "For 8 dollars! What a rip off!"
  • "Very disappointed. Compared with other stores same product 13oz only for $4. This one very expensive."
  • "The amount of Vaseline in these two small containers winds up being hugely expensive for what you actually get."
  • "With such tiny jars, a lot of the product is wasted since it collects in the corners and crevices of the jars and is difficult to use it."
  • "Nothing wrong with the product it is just overpriced."
  • "I normally love Amazon, but this product is a TOTAL RIP OFF! The picture makes it look larger than it is."
  • "Too small not worth the price this is $2 in your drug store."
