What the gurus are saying

Petroleum jelly you can toss in your bag is the whole appeal here, and the gurus who weighed in glide it over chapped lips, freshly washed hands, cuticles and the spots that chafe during a run. It's fragrance-free and doesn't feel heavy or greasy in stick form. Nobody had a complaint, and one suggestion is swiping it on knees and elbows after a shower to lock moisture in.

    "You don't have that tight feeling. It's not heavy. It's not greasy in its stick form. I would say it's just amazing. If you want to try slugging but don't want to commit to the full glossy face, just use this in certain areas where you think your skin needs that little bit extra. I do put this everywhere because it does leave a nice even light layer all over the face. A classic. You can't really go wrong with it."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
