I’m a dermatologist – I use a staple product in people’s bathroom as eye cream and people say I look 5 years younger

WITH so many expensive eye creams and moisturizers out there, it can be hard to figure out which one actually works.

Lucky for you, a dermatologist has shared the one common product that is not only inexpensive but great for those who suffer from dry skin.

According to Dr. Muneeb Shah, petroleum jelly makes a great eye cream for a number of reasons.

Petroleum jelly is considered one of the few solutions that prevent loss of moisture from the skin.

He noted in the clip: “This is actually an amazing hack and I do it all the time.”

However, before applying the product around his eyes, he advised applying a gentle moisturizer first.

In this case, he used Cerave moisturizing cream, and then proceed to apply the petroleum jelly.

In addition to the skin around your eyes, the dermatologist also suggested applying some of the product directly on your eyelids.

Nonetheless, you should be careful because applying petroleum jelly around the eyes may cause tiny white bumps also known as milia on your skin.

Some comments appreciated his suggestions and shared their own experience with the product.

One person wrote: “Using Vaseline and Aquaphor took five years off my face within a month.”

A second said: “I’ve been using Vaseline on hands, feet, and face for 30 years.

“Skin is amazing!!”

Others seemed to be prone to milia and wanted to learn a bit more about the bumps.

“Well, can you expand on the millia?” questioned a third.

Applying petroleum jelly on top of moisturizer is also known as slugging and has been a trend on social media for quite some time now.
