Overview

We keep Vaseline Original Pure Petroleum Jelly on our skin care shelf alongside 40 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: Vaseline's original jelly moisturiser for dry skin is clinically proven to lock in moisture and help heal and protect skin that's dry or damaged. Formula dry skin moisturiser is hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, non-irritating, and non-comedogenic, so it will not clog your pores. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.7 out of 5 from 20,979 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How it compares on the skin care shelf

Across the 41 rated skin care products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.6 out of 5. This one scores 4.7. Top quarter of the shelf. In an aisle where nearly everything rates well, the distance above the middle is the part worth reading, and this one has it. Weighted for review volume, we place it second on this shelf.

20,979 people rated it, where the shelf median is 12,743. That's enough for the score to mean something without being the last word on it.

On money, this sits in the bottom third of a shelf running from £1.80 to £16.70, with the midpoint around £9.37. Cheaper than most while rating above the middle of the shelf is the combination we look for, and it is the strongest thing this one has going for it.
