Does Vaseline darken skin?

Many people say vaseline (petroleum jelly) makes the skin softer. Does it also darken the skin? Or, lighten it? Is it good for the skin at all?

Re: Does Vaseline darken skin?

I know some people use it on their face. I don't think it has properties to lighten or darken skin, but I wouldn't put it on my face since its simply too greasy and make you break out.

I do not think that vaseline should darken skin. You may break out though.
