A member asked:

Can i use oil free acne wash with vaseline as a monisrizer my skin is so dry coz of using the free oil-washer ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne and dry skin: I would avoid vasoline because it may contribute to plugging the pores and give you more breakouts. You should only use products that are labeled noncomedogenic. One moisturizer recommended is called purpose.
