Well for anyone who likes/uses Stridex red, that's a good price.
For anyone looking for a petroleum free alternative to Vaseline, this product is great
I recently switched from Vaseline to un-petroleum from Alba with a bit of CBD and Tamanu oil mixed into it. The un-petroleum is just beeswax mixed with a few oils, but I feel like it locks in hydration longer than Vaseline.

I had really bad, constantly cracked and split sores in the corners of my mouth and this "un-petroleum" jelly cleared it up in a few days. Any time my lips are getting really dry, I skip the lip balm and just put a nice thick coat of this on before bed.
**Before getting this stuff I had tried coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, tea tree +coconut oil, and grapeseed oil. I'm all about the oils, but none of it was helping my lips. I think the thick "jelly" consistency just does a better job of trapping in the moisture and keeping it constantly moist. Its why petroleum jelly is recommended after surgeries for on your incisions/wounds, it helps it heal faster and prevents scaring.
PSA: I've used "un-petroleum jelly" from Alba for a while and really like it.
I've found that moisturizer creams do very little for me, I put them on and 10 minutes later the skin is just as dry as before. Here is what I have found helps, although my rashes are not on my face but it's still what you can do. After I shower and my pores are opened up, while my skin is still soaking wet I apply Aquaphor Healing Ointment and rub it in quite well. This is somewhat similar to Vaseline, but not the equivalent Then, I just dab dry with a towel so as not to wipe off the ointment. My skin can be very, very itchy and on a scale of 1-10 I may be at an 8 heading into the shower. After applying the Aquaphor ointment, the level of itch falls to a 2-3, and stays that way for a good number of hours.
You may have developed a sensitivity/allergy to petroleum jelly over time. If that's the case, you could try Un-petroleum jelly
I urge you to try this method. It really has helped me, and little else has aside from steroid creams which have those nasty side effects.
