NO! Vaseline will block your pores. You need to buy a non-comedogenic moisturizer (meaning it won't block pores)

Vaseline will clog your pores. Some people have their skin diagnosed by skin care professionals and get advice for the care of their particular skin type. This service is provided by Sephora's (Skin Care Section), the Clinique Counter (located in various department stores, such as Macy's).
sephora.com has a self analysis quiz you can do on your own. You can access the following link if you are interested: sephora.com/browse/section.jhtml;jsessio…

I assume you mean Vaseline Petroleum Jelly? It forms a barrier stopping all your own moisture getting out. Not good for long term use if you have acne.

If you actually have Vaseline hand or body cream, they would be ok because they are moisturisers.
