While Vaseline is often touted as a moisturizing agent for the skin, there's no medical proof that it effectively treats eye bags caused by aging. Vaseline does act as an occlusive, meaning it traps moisture in the skin and can help to plump it up, giving the appearance of smoother skin. However, it doesn't address the underlying causes of eye bags, such as genetics, fluid retention, or aging.
However, if you're experiencing dryness around your eyes, Vaseline can be a good option to lock in moisture and soften the skin. It is also safe to use around the eyes and can even be used to remove waterproof mascara.
Remember: Always consult a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional before applying any product to your eye area, especially if you have sensitive skin or any pre-existing skin conditions.
