Questions and answers
How well does Vaseline Even Tone work for dry skin?
Vaseline Even Tone works moderately well for dry skin, providing basic hydration and sun protection with a safe formula that is unlikely to cause irritation. Because other products fit dry skin better, a product for this skin needs richer hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and Centella Asiatica to deliver optimal moisture and protection.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for dry skin?
Glycerin and niacinamide make this cream a good fit for dry skin by pulling in moisture and repairing the skin barrier. To fit dry skin even better, products of this type need rich hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and Centella Asiatica.
What does Water do for dry skin?
Drinking more water helps increase skin hydration and may reduce clinical signs of dryness and roughness, particularly for individuals with lower prior water consumption.
What does Glycerin do for dry skin?
Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
Vaseline Even Tone goes in the morning routine as a moisturizer and sunscreen after your hydrating toner. Because dry skin needs rich moisture and barrier repair, a product of this type for dry skin also needs nourishing oils and rich hydrators like ceramides or shea butter.

Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream in the morning before your sunscreen, but dry skin needs a richer moisturizer with heavy sealing ingredients and barrier-repairing ceramides to handle retinol well at night. Vaseline Even Tone works for dry skin, though other products fit it better.

How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing spf daily in your morning routine to help protect and hydrate your skin. Dry skin works best with products that provide deep moisture and barrier-repairing ingredients like glycerin and niacinamide.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This cream is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on dry skin because it does not contain harsh ingredients, though a product of this type needs richer oils and deep hydrators to truly comfort very dry skin.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Topical nicotinamide prevented solar-simulated UV-induced immunosuppression in healthy volunteers, and men experienced immunosuppression at solar-simulated UV doses three times lower than those required for women.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2008Topical 5% niacinamide applied twice daily for 12 weeks reduced fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness, and improved skin elasticity compared to vehicle control in 50 female white subjects with facial photoaging.
