Vaseline Intensive Rescue understands that one in six primary care consultations currently relate to skin1, and as a healthcare professional you may be looking for detailed information on skin health to enhance your knowledge and understanding. Alternatively, you may be looking for supporting information to pass on to your patients. Vaseline skin experts have created a selection of educational materials to encourage a greater understanding of dry skin conditions and what individuals can do to help manage dry skin.
Introduction
Vaseline understands that skin is an incredibly complex set of interdependent systems that protect us from the outside environment and from infection. Vaseline has been studying skin for over 130 years, ever since a young man named Robert Chesebrough discovered the skincare properties of Vaseline petroleum jelly. Like Chesebrough, Vaseline’s skin scientists are driven by a passion for skin and an intense curiosity, driving them to understand skin and create accessible, everyday skincare products.
Vaseline Intensive Rescue is the latest innovation for dry and very dry skin from Vaseline. The range has been designed to provide instant relief and long lasting care for dry and very dry skin. Vaseline Intensive Rescue works in three ways – deep penetrating glycerin delivers moisture on contact, occlusives help fortify skin’s protective barrier to hold that moisture in whilst emollients provide partial occlusion and helps improve the skin’s look and feel, creating the long term environment that enables skin to repair itself.
