Vaseline Pro Derma: 150 Years of Skin Healing, Now Reinvented for the Modern World
For over a century and a half, Vaseline has been synonymous with healing. It’s the brand that sits quietly in your bathroom cabinet, ready to rescue dry lips, cracked heels, or post-sun skin. But in 2025, Vaseline isn’t just healing anymore—it’s evolving. The launch of Vaseline Pro Derma Ultra Moisturizing Body Cream marks a new era where science meets comfort, and barrier repair gets a serious upgrade.
At the recent launch in Kuala Lumpur, Vaseline gathered top dermatological minds and retail partners to celebrate this next-generation innovation. The result of 150 years of expertise, co-created with over 300 skincare experts, and recommended by 89% of dermatologists, Pro Derma represents Vaseline’s dedication to advancing skin health while staying true to its roots.
The Science of Deep Comfort
This isn’t your everyday body cream. Vaseline Pro Derma Ultra Moisturizing Body Cream delivers 72 hours of deep hydration while strengthening the skin barrier by 27.8%. In clinical tests, users saw an 80% increase in instant hydration and 32% improvement in instant repair. It doesn’t just make your skin feel soft—it makes it stronger.
“At Vaseline, we believe that healthy skin is foundational to personal wellbeing,” said Sherlyn Heng, Head of Marketing Skincare Malaysia & Singapore. “Vaseline Pro Derma represents a significant step forward in our mission to make advanced skin care accessible to all, especially those with dry, sensitive, and vulnerable skin types.”
It’s a message that resonates deeply, especially in Malaysia’s humid climate, where even “normal” skin can feel perpetually dehydrated.
Inside the 4D Barrier Repair Technology
The true breakthrough behind Pro Derma lies in its proprietary Four-Dimensional Barrier Repair Technology, which takes a multi-layered approach to skin healing. According to Dr. Anuchai Sinsawat (Dr. Aum), Vaseline Global R&D Expert and Southeast Asia Lead, “Vaseline Pro Derma delivers targeted hydration, reinforces epidermal integrity, and provides sustained comfort in urban environments. Its efficacy is grounded in dermatological science, offering measurable improvements in skin texture, moisture retention, and overall skin resilience.”
This 4D system works on four crucial fronts of skin health:
Microbiome Barrier – fortified with Prebiotic Essence that promotes good bacteria and inhibits harmful ones.
Corneum Barrier – stabilized by 4D Hyaluronic Acid, which doubles hyaluronic acid gene expression and hydrates across skin depths.
Lipid Barrier – replenished by the Pro Ceramide Complex that boosts ceramide synthesis by 30%, reinforcing structural integrity.
Basal Layer – supported by Micro-Collagen Peptide, which increases type VII collagen production by 52% for firmer, more resilient skin.
In short, it’s skincare that rebuilds from the inside out.
The Texture Test: Light Yet Powerful
One of the biggest hurdles for deeply moisturizing creams is texture. We’ve all used that one “intensive repair” product that felt like a sticky film on the skin. Vaseline’s R&D team knew that even the most advanced formula wouldn’t matter if it didn’t feel pleasant enough for daily use.
Their solution is a snow-melting texture that activates at 37°C, the natural temperature of human skin. As soon as it touches the skin, it melts and absorbs instantly, leaving a clean, non-greasy finish. Clinical tests reported zero stickiness and 100% user satisfaction on absorption.
It’s the kind of product that feels indulgent yet practical, balancing science and sensorial pleasure. The actives penetrate deep, while the surface remains soft, breathable, and ready for your day.
Designed for Real Life
Vaseline didn’t stop at lab results. Pro Derma was tested in a range of environmental conditions, including high humidity and cold temperatures (as low as 10°C), to ensure consistent performance anywhere. Whether you’re walking under the blazing sun or sitting in an air-conditioned office, this formula keeps skin hydrated and resilient.
150 Years Later, Still Healing—But Smarter
From a humble jar of petroleum jelly in 1870 to an advanced dermatological moisturizer in 2025, Vaseline’s story is one of constant reinvention. Pro Derma represents the brand’s evolution: scientifically advanced, dermatologist-approved, and accessible to everyone.
By merging heritage with innovation, Vaseline continues to prove that effective skincare doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or clinical. It can be smart, efficient, and luxurious to the touch.
The Vaseline Pro Derma Ultra Moisturizing Body Cream will be available at Watsons stores and pharmacies across Malaysia and Singapore from end-October 2025.
Fathom’s Verdict:
If your skin’s been sending out an SOS; tight, dull, or constantly thirsty—this might be your fix. Vaseline Pro Derma isn’t just another moisturiser; it’s Vaseline with a degree in dermatology, reengineered for the way we live today.
