I recently purchased this but I received Covidien Vaseline (Pure Ultra White Petroleum Jelly). I would like to know what the difference is between two

There is no difference. Like I said, Covidien is now part of Kendall, and the product is exactly the same; only the packaging is different. The owner said that they will be changing the picture soon, so they should be. However, it is def. the same exact product inside.

Yes, it is now Covidien. Tyco Healthcare has changed its name in 2007 and the new company name is Covidien. You can google and find that out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covidien

I believe that Vaseline has additives in it - minerals and wax to make it smoother. Pure Ultra White Petroleum Jelly does not have these additives. Nothing harmful about either, but Vaseline is thought to have more cosmetic uses because it glides better, due to the additives. All of this said, I am no expert on the subject, but this is what I have read, and it does make sense.

Sorry, I don't know the diff b/t the two on chemical level. So far I have not noticed any diff.

I personally think it is better than Vaseline sold in stores. My husband had skin cancers surgically removed and they gave him this medical grade Vaseline to use to keep the stitch areas soft and heal better and faster. It has worked very well.

Hello SunnySD, To tell you the truth I don't know the difference between the two but in thoroughly looking over the label the only thing I could find on the label was under ingredients; Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E). Can you please explain the difference to me, briefly? Thank you, Susan

I have had several orders. The first was sent in glass bottles that did not have tight lids and leaked. The oil was great and I ordered it again but from a different supplier. This was sent in plastic bottles with tight lids and was also wrapped with plastic just in case there was a leak. Yippee! There wasn't! I will continue to order this oil but watch to see how it is wrapped! Also this time it had a yellow plastic handle . It makes it easier to handle.

This is much more slippery. Vasoline is tachy and oil based. This product is much thicker. It goes on and lasts longer. Most circumstances don't need this. Mostly for automotive work with things like lubricating rubber window run channels and also certain brake parts. I love using it for things around the house like door hinges.

I am not sure but one may be the eau de toilette and one may be the eau de parfum. The difference in these two products would be the amount of oils. Eau De Parfums tend to consist of more oil causing their subtle notes to last longer as for the eau de toilettes tend to have less oils and usually contain more alcohol. Other then that I do not know what the differences may be in the two bottles you are comparing.

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.

The tube only says "Pure ultra White Petroleum Jelly - Not meant for puncture wounds, serious burns or cuts. My husband had face cancer surgically removed and was told by the dermatologist surgeon to use it to aid in healing. That was the extent of our usage.

The lotion is for dry skin and the gel for oilier skin. The liquid is for all as it doesnt really have any extra moistrizing ingredients. They say the liquid delivers it best to the skin. I have dry skin and use the liquid with no problems. Love it

It sounds like what he gave you was the "Overnight Therapy" (http://smile.amazon.com/Systane-Gel-10-0-33-Ounce/dp/B00CBXQ1XO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid;=1407193168&sr;=1-1&keywords;=systane+overnight+therapy+lubricant+eye+gel) I personally like the Overnight Therapy MUCH more than "Nighttime". Nighttime's only active ingredients are mineral oil and "white petrolatum" which sounds a lot like (very expensive) petroleum jelly, and that's exactly what it looks and feels like. My eyes burn in the morning after I use it. Overnight Therapy has totally different ingredients and works much better for me.

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

This is a moisturizer, mot a lubricant. I'm any event, after I bought it I discovered it had glycerine in it so I have not used it.

When you open both sites for original finishing spray and 10 years younger you will see that both have the same ingredients. IMO it is only marketing with different names but product is the same. Unless there is mistake in listing, the best would be to get both kinds and compare in person.

I've ordered this product direct from Skinceutics & Amazon. I don't see any difference between the products. The product from Amazon was fresh & clear, not discolored.

Absolutely different from plain old Vaseline. Vaseline is petroleum jelly and will cause deterioration on rubber parts that it comes in contact with. This silicon paste can be used to lubricate rubber parts. I purchased it to lubricate rear anti-sway bar bushings on my car.

Since I bought, they have changed the product and picture. I bought a lotion, a "soufflé", so I'm no help on the product shown in the picture. Sorry!

Agreed. Am thinking it is fake product. The paper sealing strip was not on this jar. Am planning to file complaint against seller.Update: Contacted Waxelene. They had a "wonky" batch from some beeswax that they got a lot of customer feedback about the pale color and "off/smokey" odor. They are amazing people with great product.
