    What the gurus are saying

    The stick format earns consistent praise for convenience on the go, gliding on without needing your hands, making it ideal for gym bags or travel. Dermatologists highlight it for targeted relief on problem areas like elbows, knees, hands, and cuticles, and as a chafing preventer, especially during summer or after the shower when you want to lock in moisture. Because it's pure petrolatum, those with eczema or sensitive skin may find it particularly soothing on irritated patches.

    "It's so simple, right? And it just works. The morning after the areas I use this on always feel softer and genuinely just a lot more comfortable. 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."

    "If you're an individual who is very active and you find that the running, the exercise and the repetitive motion really induces skin on skin rubbing, then consider using a barrier cream or even like petrolatum or anti-chafing stick to help to protect the skin and reduce that frictional component. One of the most effective is just using petrolatum. I really like this one from Vaseline, it's the all over body balm that's 100 percent petrolatum or petroleum jelly."

    "Vaseline has an all over body balm that comes in this form of a stick which is great, think of it as a massive ChapStick for your body. If you have eczema, like if you want to use it on your knees, you know, just really get into it or on your elbows when you come out of the shower you want to lock everything in."

    "It is by Vaseline, it is a bomb. I think it's cool for like if you need it, like you're sitting at your desk and you want to sort of hydrate your little areas. This guy is something you could put on your elbows, knees, kind of like the little balmy parts of your body."

    "I've been using the Vaseline All Over Body Balm Healing Jelly Stick as a nighttime lip balm, and I love it for the sides of my fingers because I get those little water blisters, and I have not had those in a long time. And I attribute it to this as maintenance when it's cleared up. But when it's active, this I would not use because if you've ever had hydraulic hand eczema, when you have the little blisters bubbling up, don't put petroleum jelly on them because it kind of aggravates it by trapping in those little moisture bubbles. The product is great for the lips."

    Summer Skincare Hacks You Need To Try

You can just use petroleum jelly to kind of adhere it and it'll also help cut down on the formation of hangnails."

    "I can only say positive things about the Vaseline jelly balm stick because I go through that. It's fragrance-free, which is excellent if you have dry cracked hands and fingers, just great for carrying with you on the go to keep moisturizing. It's also great as a lip balm and the other use for this is to cut down on chafing like under the arms and the skin folds, especially if you are doing sport like running. The sweat trapped in the skin folds breaks down the skin and leads to rashes that can become secondarily colonized with Candida yeast. You can use the petroleum jelly stick to help heal that rash."

    "I love this, this is a great option for summer to reduce chafing which is common in the summer months. You want to lean into lightweight breathable fabrics that are not restrictive or cause a lot of undue friction. You want to take measures to keep the skin cool, cut down on the accumulation of sweat which breaks down the moisture barrier and leads to skin irritation. A balm such as this, I mean this is basically petroleum jelly in a stick, it's really convenient. You just glide it on the skin and it cuts down on chafing."

    "I absolutely adore the Vaseline Healing Jelly All Over Body Balm Stick. This is petroleum jelly in a stick form, and let me tell you, this is one of the handiest skincare products there ever was. I love Vaseline petroleum jelly in general so much, great for reducing transepidermal water loss, great for cutting down on friction, great for chapped lips, dry eyelids. I recommend people who run long distance get themselves some petroleum jelly, put it like under the arms between the thighs to cut down on that chafing. Petroleum jelly is also really great if you get a little cut or scrape, just clean it out a bit with some dilute soapy water, put some petroleum jelly on there, it'll help protect the cut from microbes and also will facilitate better healing overall by keeping the wound bed moist. But this stick is super convenient for on-the-go purposes. You can throw it in your bag. If you are a runner or you go to the gym and do exercise with a lot of repetitive motion, throw it in your gym bag and just do touchup applications on the go. It is so convenient."

    "The Vaseline Healing Jelly Balm Stick is great to put on the tops of your feet anywhere where you're starting to feel like your sandals are rubbing too much. It lubricates the skin surface and will help to cut down on the formation of blisters and irritation. I have been someone who throughout my lifetime has suffered at the hands of strappy cute sandals, and I have permanent scars quite literally from those pesky little straps rubbing up against my feet. If I had only taken the extra precaution to lube up the skin it would have made a huge difference."

    "I use the Vaseline All-One Body Balm Stick at night on my cuticles. It's really great for your cuticles, easy to apply on the go, so if you're prone to hangnails check that out. Plain petroleum jelly does the same thing, but this is just a nice stick version, and it's also really good if you get chafing under your arms or between your thighs."

    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.
