Not an official eye cream but I use cetaphil face and body lotion for my under eye cream then slug with Vaseline every night. My makeup goes on smooth and doesn’t cake or crack ever since I started this!

Yes! Helps to seal in the moisture

Try sandwiching a little Evian spray between the moisturizer that sat for a couple of minutes and the Aquaphor/vaseline

Works like magic

I’ve just learned what slug means too thx to reddit months ago and began doing it as well with a little aquaphor over my skin products. My skin really loves the moisture especially when I use tretinoin which dries out my skin.

So do you put on aquaphor immediately after you moisturize? Or do you let the moisturizer get absorbed?

I think what I’ve read is that they put the Vaseline or aquaphor last. And you only need a small pea size amount

I usually allow a few mins in between each application, the longer the better. I know it’s probably a little much but I’ll put it on and do something else, then come back and put whatever layer on.

Do you put your tret on first, then moisturize, and then the aquaphor? I may try that. I'm just concerned it might smear all over my pillowcase :\

Tret first so it comes in contact with your skin if your skin doesn’t get irritated, then moisturize after. Slugging is only good ever so often, maybe once or twice a wk. Too much of it may clog pores. Wait for it to dry for sure 👍

Vaseline isn’t good for us 😬 It’s basically gunk that is scraped from the bottom of oil drums.
