Vaseline
Most people know Vaseline as one tub of petroleum jelly. The Korean-market range we carry is much wider than that: alongside the Original, Healing, Protecting, Cocoa Butter, Aloe and Baby jellies there are Intensive Care body lotions in eight or so variants, Lip Therapy balms, sheet masks with ceramide, hyaluronic acid or madecassoside, a foaming cleanser, and a full sun-care set with sunscreens, a tone-up cream and a sun stick. Sizes run from a 7g lip balm to 1000ml lotion bottles and multi-pack bundles. If you came here for the jelly, the size and the variant are the only decisions. If you did not know Vaseline sells sunscreen and sheet masks in Korea, the grid above is worth a scroll.
Buying guide
The Vaseline range, beyond the tub of jelly
Vaseline in Korea covers far more ground than the petroleum jelly the brand is named for. This page holds six separate product families: the jellies, the Intensive Care body lotions, Lip Therapy, sheet masks, cleansing foam and sun care. They do not compete with each other, so the useful thing is to know which family solves your problem before you compare sizes.
Which petroleum jelly variant to get
The jelly appears here as Original, Healing, Protecting, Cocoa Butter, Aloe and Baby. Original, Healing and Protecting are the same base product sold under different market names, so do not pay more for one thinking it is a different formula. The variants that genuinely differ are Cocoa Butter and Aloe, which add scent and a slightly different feel, and Baby, which is the version bought for nappy-area and infant use. There is also a 40g Healing Jelly All-Over Body Balm, which is the same jelly in a stick-style format that travels better than a tub.
Jelly sizes and the multi-packs
Jelly runs from 50g up to 440ml, with 100ml and 368g as the most common household sizes, plus bundles such as the six-piece 100ml pack. Grams and millilitres both appear in the titles depending on the supplier, and they are close enough in this product not to change your decision. Buy the small tub if you want it for lips and cuticles, the 368g or 440ml if you use it on elbows, heels and dry patches through winter.
Reading the Intensive Care lotion names
The body lotions are where the range gets crowded. Intensive Care is the umbrella name and the word after it is the actual variant: Advanced Repair for very dry skin, Dry Skin Repair as the everyday version, Aloe Soothe (printed as Aloe Sud in some titles) for after-sun and warm weather, Cocoa Radiant for a scented richer finish, Sensitive Relief and the Derma Lotion pair for reactive skin, Essential Healing as the plain option, and the fruit-scented Superfood lotions in grapefruit, cranberry and peach. Man Repairing Moisture is the same category aimed at a male audience.
Lotion bottle sizes and where the value sits
Lotion bottles here run 120ml, 200ml, 295ml, 350ml, 400ml, 450ml, 600ml, 1000ml and 1078ml, and the price per millilitre drops sharply as you go up. Body lotion is used in large amounts, so if you already know a variant suits you the 600ml or 1000ml bottle is the sensible buy. The two-bottle bundles in the grid are worth checking against single-bottle prices, because they are not always cheaper once size is accounted for.
Lip Therapy versus using the jelly on lips
Lip Therapy is the 7g tube-and-tin format, sold plain and in cocoa, and it exists because carrying a tub of jelly in a pocket is impractical. The formula is close enough to the jelly that the choice is about convenience and scent rather than performance. If you want one thing that handles lips, cuticles and dry patches, buy the small jelly. If you want something for a bag or a desk, buy the balm, and note that it often sells in 2+2 multi-packs.
The sun-care set most shoppers do not expect
Korean Vaseline sells sun care, which is not something the brand is known for elsewhere. On this grid that means a 50ml Daily Sunscreen, Moisture and Natural UV Shield sunscreens in 60g, a 50ml tone-up sunscreen that leaves a brightening cast, and a 15g UV Protection sun stick for reapplying over makeup. These are conventional Korean sun products, priced well below the specialist sun brands, so they suit someone who wants a cheap everyday bottle rather than a hero SPF.
Sheet masks and the cleansing foam
The sheet masks are sorted by active rather than by claim: ceramide, hyaluronic acid and madecassoside, plus plain moisturising and nourishing versions. They sit at the budget end of the Korean mask market and work as a weekly hydration step. The Moisture Whip cleansing foams at 220ml and 225ml are the only face-wash entries in the range and are aimed at normal to dry skin rather than at oily or acne-prone routines.
Getting the jelly to actually work
Petroleum jelly seals water in rather than adding it, which is why applying it to bone-dry skin feels greasy and does little. Put it on slightly damp skin, straight after a shower or over a lotion, and use a thin layer. On heels and hands, applying it at night under socks or cotton gloves is the standard method. Keep it away from areas prone to congestion, since an occlusive layer on the face suits dry patches but not oily or breakout-prone zones.
Typos and duplicate-looking listings
Titles in this range come from Korean supplier feeds and carry recurring slips: Petrolium for Petroleum, Senstive for Sensitive, Aloe Sud for Aloe Soothe, and Liptherapy written as one word. Two listings that look like different products are often the same item under different transliterations, so compare the size and variant rather than the exact spelling before deciding you have found something new.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Original, Healing Jelly and Protecting Jelly?
Nothing meaningful. They are the same petroleum jelly sold under different market names, which is why all three appear in this grid at overlapping sizes. Pick whichever size and price suit you. The variants that do differ are Cocoa Butter, Aloe and Baby.
Does Vaseline really make sunscreen, or is this a different brand?
It is the same brand. Vaseline sells a Korean-market sun-care line that is not distributed in most countries: a 50ml Daily Sunscreen, Moisture and Natural UV Shield in 60g, a tone-up version and a 15g sun stick. That range is one of the reasons to buy Vaseline from a Korean catalogue rather than a local shop.
Which Intensive Care lotion should I choose for very dry skin?
Advanced Repair is the richest of the everyday options and the one aimed at very dry skin. If your skin is dry and also reacts easily, the Derma Lotion Extreme Dry Skin Rescue and Sensitive Relief versions are the better fit. Aloe Soothe and the Superfood scented lotions are lighter, better suited to warm weather than to winter.
What is Aloe Sud, and is it a separate product?
Aloe Sud is a transcription slip for Aloe Soothe in the imported titles. The Intensive Care Aloe Sud Lotion and the Aloe Soothing Lotion are the same variant, sold here at 400ml, 450ml and 600ml. Compare the size, not the spelling.
Is Lip Therapy worth buying if I already own the jelly?
Only for convenience. The 7g Lip Therapy balm behaves much like the jelly on lips, so the reason to own one is that it fits in a pocket and does not require a fingertip in a tub. The cocoa version adds scent. If you want one product for lips, hands and dry patches, the 50g jelly covers all three.
Can I use the jelly on my face?
On dry patches, chapped areas and around the nose in cold weather, yes, applied thinly over damp skin or over a lotion. Avoid it across the whole face if you break out easily, since an occlusive layer traps whatever is underneath. For a full-face hydration step, the ceramide or hyaluronic acid sheet masks in this range are the more sensible choice.
Are the 1000ml lotions and the six-piece jelly packs actually better value?
The large lotion bottles usually are, because body lotion gets used quickly and the price per millilitre falls steeply between 400ml and 1000ml. The multi-packs are less predictable: the six-piece 100ml jelly bundle and the paired-lotion sets in this grid should be checked against the single-item price before ordering, because they are sometimes just a convenience pack.
Is the Baby jelly different from the ordinary one?
It is the same petrolatum base packaged for infant use, sold here in a 100ml jar and a 368ml size. Parents buy it for nappy-area protection and dry patches. Adults with sensitive skin sometimes prefer it for being unscented, but it is not a milder formula in any technical sense.
