I put vaseline on my face every night is that bad? does vaseline cause pimples on the face?

Possibly: Vaseline is an oily product and any such product can plug your pores and aggravate oil retention. This can certainly aggravate acne if you still see it at your age. You may want to invest in a true moisturizer rather han an occlusive product.
