Huh, interesting, I never knew that about Vaseline. Seems like the AAD recommends it for some but says for those with acne to talk to their dermatologist about it. I've never really looked much into the science behind it, as I hate how it feels on my skin anyways.Cerave in the tub, and eye creams are just glorified moisturisers. Just use a normal moisturiser under the eyes
It can't go into the pores. The molecules are too big. There is a catch though, some can't handle occlusion at all, but then you can't handle dimethicone or so either. Either that or it's the skincare underneath, because Vaseline is just a layer that don't let anything out. So naturally, having irritating ingredients underneath is going to wreak havoc on your skin.
There is a reason why dermatologists love it.
I have to respectfully disagree about the eye cream though. If you're using a basic non-fragranced moisturizer, it might not hurt to use under eyes instead of a dedicated eye cream. But there is generally a difference between the two. They are formulated differently for the thinner skin under the eyes. Like, if your face moisturizer has certain ingredients in it, putting them on the thinner under-eye skin can be irritating, as the concentrations of something like retinol or peptides would be lower in an eye cream. Or sometimes they use different ingredients more suited for the sensitive skin. Also, it would depend if you feel you need ingredients to target something specific under eye, like dark circles, or if you want polymers for firmness, these ingredients you want might not necessary be in your face moisturizer.
Everyone's different when it comes to skin care, their needs, what works best for them, their age, etc. It all depends how much time and money you want to invest into it and how your personal skin reacts!
