Amazon sells a three-pack of the Vaseline Jelly Stick for just $20, making it less than $7 per stick. Keep one Vaseline stick in your purse, one at home, and one in the car, to touch-up on the go.

Almost at my wits, I decided to leave behind the rest of my bodycare for a recent road trip and gave the travel-friendly Vaseline All-Over Body Balm Stick a try. I wanted something quick to apply ...

But not everyone was sure the Vaseline stick would be great for acne-prone skin. "Just be careful and try a small part of your face first! Not all skin types can candle it," one said.

While, no, Vaseline doesn't technically clog pores, it can be too heavy for acne-prone skin. I've tried it countless times, and my skin will be fine for a few nights, then break out to hell.

But if you are going to try Vaseline, "stick with products containing petroleum in lotion form over heavy ointments for routine use if you have acne-prone skin," says Dr. Jeffy.
