Serums are a part of my daily skincare routine, for my face, that is. However, I’ve never used a serum for the body until I was offered, through Blog Meets Brand, to try out the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum.
Vaseline claims their Intensive Care™ Healing Serums are not just a regular body lotion. These serums combine the power of three unique, highly concentrated ingredients to moisturize and heal dry skin.
1. PPAR Activators help penetrate the skin to replenish lipids and moisturize to boost the skin’s natural renewal cycle.
2. Elastomers provide a premium sensory experience with ingredients that deliver a luxurious silky, smooth feel.
3. Micro-droplets of Vaseline® Jelly form a protective layer to prevent moisture loss
My thoughts
I haven’t tried Vaseline products in a while. I’m talking about years! To my surprise, the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum did some amazing things to help repair my skin from the damage done during the winter.
First, the light scent of amber and jasmine are what caught the attention of my senses when squeezing out the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum from the tube. The scent isn’t too heavy, and lasts for just the right amount of time on the skin. Plus, it doesn’t interfere with whatever I’m wearing for the day. I will also note that the fragrance is very feminine. My husband, who sometimes uses my lotions couldn’t bring himself to use it because he said, “I will smell like a woman.” But, that’s better for me. LOL.
The texture of the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum is that of a lightweight cream, instead of fluid-like, which most of the serums I’ve used are like. Even without it being like a typical serum, the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum is like luxury in a tube. I find that it moisturizes more like a balm without the heaviness and greasiness.
After using the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum, both during the night and day, even after a week of use, my skin showed a noticeable difference. It looked healthy, hydrated, and didn’t itch from being dry. After continued use, my skin is just amazing! I sometimes catch myself rubbing my legs because they’re so smooth and soft.
The squeeze tube packaging made it easy for me to get the very last drop of the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum out of the tube. Now, I unfortunately have to replace it.
I would recommend the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum to anyone looking to heal dry skin, or maintain healthy, hydrated skin.
The 6.8 fl oz tube of Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum retails for $8.99 and can be found at your local drugstore.

I tried one of the VICL serums a couple of months ago, and I liked it too, but I wish I had received an unscented version. The floral scent that may be different from the one you got was a bit too strong for me. But the serum definitely is a good one!

This one wasn't a floral scent so you may have gotten a different one.
I'm glad to hear that Vaseline is working well for you! I haven't used their products in years, and maybe I have to revisit the line now 🙂
I'm happy to hear they've stepped up their game. I stopped using them over a decade ago because honestly, the other products of theirs I've tried were blah.
Great post! I MUST get my hands on this. My skin is so dry. Everything I put on it gets sucked right up.

I tried to buy this the other day but I think I got the wrong type, not the serum. I need to go back and try this one!
aww man. Yeah check to see which one you got. There's three different ones, if I'm not mistaken.
I have heard good things about this stuff! I keep forgetting to pick it up when I'm at the drugstore.

I have to have this! I love the vaseline cocoa butter lotion and if this will give me 10x the moisture sign me up! Great post!
I haven't tried that. I honestly gave up on Vaseline many years ago. I wasn't impressed with anything. But this! It is definitely something I'm picking up over and over.
Awesome review and the price is not bad either!

Thank you, Dianna.
I absolutely fell in love with these serums when I tried them a while back. I love the different varieties, they work so well and the fragrance is so nice!
The fragrance isn't too bad. It was definitely a shocker to me to see how well they worked.
This sounds like it would be great for when I visit dryer climates.

These are great, I have it on right now–SO hydrating!
Are you using this one or one of the other ones? I still use it even if the weather is warm because it isn't heavy, and my skin just feels amazing.
Time to revisit this brand!

I'm not gonna lie girl.. I want to run out and try this – I'm gonna keep an eye out of it while at the store. 🙂
It's amazing! I'm going to pick up more today actually. Yesterday, I literally squeeze out the last drop.
I love serums, and this sounds like a pretty cool innovation from Vaseline!
