what do you think? Aquaphor or Vaseline?

From my experience, both Aquaphor and Vaseline are excellent for protecting and healing skin, but they serve slightly different purposes that might influence your choice. Aquaphor is often praised for its advanced formula that includes additional skin-healing ingredients beyond just petrolatum, making it great for repairing dry, cracked, or irritated skin more effectively. Vaseline, on the other hand, is 100% pure petroleum jelly and acts as a strong barrier to lock in moisture. Personally, I find Aquaphor to be better for wound healing and for sensitive areas like lips because it's dermatologist recommended and designed with soothing ingredients. However, Vaseline is a reliable, affordable option for everyday protection, especially if you want something simple without additives. If you’re debating which size to buy, Aquaphor’s 1.75 oz healing ointment is a convenient size for travel or on-the-go use. Also, remember that while Aquaphor is petroleum-based like Vaseline, it isn’t exactly the same; the healing ointment contains a mix of ingredients aimed at enhancing skin repair. In my routine, I use Aquaphor especially during harsher weather or when my skin feels more damaged, and Vaseline as a basic moisturizer and protective layer. Ultimately, trying both can help you decide which suits your skin type and needs better.
