Sometimes your regular skin care routine just doesn't cut it for combating the dry, dull and rough skin that crops up in winter, and it needs a little extra TLC to get soft and healthy-looking again.

Turns out, there are quite a few ways to use Vaseline® Jelly. Like, oh, about a zillion. From a rich overnight treatment that locks in moisture to a hydrating exfoliating scrub, Vaseline® Jelly was put to the test in every way that you can imagine -- and our reviewers even discovered a few totally DIY beauty treatments. But does Vaseline® Jelly work better than their regular skin care products? See what our reviewers have to say.

The Secret to a Flawless Mani
"I love Vaseline, [but] I was surprised at how much I did not know that Vaseline could do. I always used it as a moisturizer, but there is so much more! Makeup remover? You bet! It removes mascara, eyeliner and eye shadow easily. If you use it as a foot treatment overnight, it will leave feet super soft and smooth. If you apply Vaseline to the edge of the nail before applying nail polish, the polish will not stick to the skin. Great product all around, with many uses!" --yestfl

An Affordable Must-Have
"There are few things which can't be remedied by Vaseline. After a good night's sleep, you'll find skin will be akin to pure silk! The price is also deserving of raves. My cuticles are no longer a problem when I regularly include Vaseline in my manicure and massage into nails and cuticles. Wow, what a do-it-all product!" --GigiSD

The Ultimate Moisturizer (Even for Pups)
"Vaseline is very versatile. It moisturizes dry, chapped skin including lips (great lip gloss), [helps protect against] windburn if you ski, run, or bike in extreme weather. You can combine it with coarse sea salt and use it as a scrub. My veterinarian actually recommended Vaseline for the dry spots on my dog's elbows! How is that for multi-tasking?" --thorne

A Beauty Product That Even Guys Can Get Into
"I am now a huge fan of this product. I've been putting it on my hands and wearing gloves at bedtime -- a really great, inexpensive treatment for dry winter skin. My son is also using it on his chapped lips. He's very picky about scents, and he loves how it has no annoying smell. I also love mixing it with sea salts for a great exfoliator. I will definitely be using this product again." --LaurelJ
