The unique gel formula contains micro encapsulated beads with jojoba seed oil, buckwheat and vitamin E, which burst upon application to effectively deliver all the skincare goodness to your skin. Your skin will feel instantly more hydrated while looking more youthful and radiant by the day.
What makes Vaseline Body Gels particularly perfect for Singapore’s hot and humid weather is the fact that it feels not only refreshing but literally cooling on the skin. This is a moisturiser you would actually love putting on your skin!

Skin type: dry | Skin conditions: Dull skin, Scaly and flaky dry skin, Skin feeling tight especially after showering
Variant: Fresh & Hydrated with Bamboo
I love the smooth and lightweight gel texture of this moisturiser and how quickly it absorbs into the skin. It makes me feel like I don’t have any product on my skin. Normally I only use body moisturiser at night as it’s sticky and heavy but with this Vaseline Body Gel, I can use it during the day, too.
I also like that my skin feels soft and moisturised, while smelling great after applying the product.

Skin type: dry | Skin conditions: Sensitive, Body acne, Dull skin, Skin feeling tight especially after showering
Variant: Fresh & Hydrated with Bamboo
I have always been looking for body moisturisers to keep my skin hydrated but would always stop using them halfway because they felt too greasy and my skin still felt itchy afterwards.
However, I’ve been loving the Vaseline Body Gel so far. It absorbs very quickly and makes my skin feel so soft and moisturised. I also appreciate that the product doesn’t cause any irritation on my skin and the smell isn’t too strong, either. I will definitely continue using this!

Variant: Fresh & Radiant with Rice water
I find the texture of this gel very lightweight and much less sticky than the moisturisers I previously used. It spreads easily and the microbeads burst instantly when I rub the gel in. It absorbs quite fast and feels moisturising on my skin
Kate, 27
Skin type: dry | Skin conditions: Uneven skin tone, Dull skin
Variant: Fresh & Radiant with Rice water
I usually use body moisturiser at night because I want to avoid feeling sticky during the day. But with this product, I’m not afraid to use it during the day. It also saves me time as the gel absorbs almost instantly. I find that my skin feels smooth and hydrated after applying the product, and looks less dull as well.
Something unique about this product is the microbeads that contain skincare ingredients – definitely not a common feature in usual body moisturisers!

Variant: Fresh & Hydrated with Bamboo
My previous moisturiser was a cream-based product, thus it was heavier and took a longer time to absorb. It also left my skin feeling sticky afterwards. In comparison, the Vaseline Body Gel is much more lightweight and absorbs a lot faster.

Skin type: combination | Skin conditions: Scars, Dull skin, Skin feeling tight especially after showering, Saggy skin
Variant: Fresh & Youthful with Ginseng
I like how fast this moisturiser absorbs and that it doesn’t leave a greasy film on the skin. My skin feels soft and moisturised after using this, and I’ve also noticed it looks brighter than before.
The gel has a nice, pleasant scent and spreads easily on the skin. And I like that the microbeads don’t feel rough against my skin, and instead burst into skincare goodness.
Erika, 32
Skin type: dry | Skin conditions: Sensitive, Body acne
Variant: Fresh & Hydrated with Bamboo
My first impression of this product was that I liked the convenient tube packaging, with a smaller opening so we wouldn’t accidentally squeeze out too much product.
This gel has a lightweight consistency and feels very refreshing and cooling on the skin. It also absorbs instantly and leaves my skin feeling moisturised and soothed. However, for my dry skin, I prefer something with a thicker consistency like body butter for nighttime use.
Caroline, 32
Skin type: dry, combination | Skin conditions: Sensitive, Scaly and flaky dry skin
Variant: Fresh & Radiant with Rice water
I’ve always preferred to use in-shower moisturisers as lotions tend to feel greasy and stick to my clothes.
However, the Vaseline Body Gel has been a lifesaver as it absorbs very fast and doesn’t feel greasy. The lightweight gel texture is also easy to spread on the skin and makes my skin feel soft and well-moisturised. The scent is too strong for me, though.
Nicole, 33
Skin type: dry | Skin conditions: Dark spots & pigmentation, Scaly and flaky dry skin
Variant: Fresh & Youthful with Ginseng
I find the Fresh & Youthful quite an interesting variant with Ginseng extract in the formula. The scent of the gel is quite pleasant and the texture is very lightweight and fast-absorbing. My skin feels so soft and moisturised after application.
This is definitely a moisturiser I can use daily. I particularly like how the microbeads burst upon application, which adds a little fun to the experience of using it.
Madeline, 34
Skin type: normal | Skin conditions: Uneven skin tone, Dull skin
Variant: Fresh & Youthful with Ginseng
When I first received the product, I was expecting an unpleasant scent from the key ingredient Ginseng, but the product actually smelt very pleasant. The gel is lightweight and applies smoothly on the skin, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturised. It’s not greasy at all, unlike previous moisturisers I have tried.
I definitely will continue using this and hope it will help brighten up my skin after longer usage.
