Vaseline Radiant X Collection: Full Product Review

Summer is upon us—and, naturally, I’ve got glowing, beach-ready skin on my mind. So, when Vaseline’s Radiant X Collection popped up on my radar, I knew I had to check it out. The lineup, which includes the Even Tone Nourishing Body Lotion, Deep Nourishment Hand Butter, Deep Nourishment Body Cream, and Replenishing and Hydrating Body Oil, was co-created with dermatologists and aims to help keep skin healthy and protected while imparting subtle radiance. Does it deliver? I was able to test out the entire collection and find out. Read on for my full review.

About My Skin: In need of extra hydration

As someone with dry skin, hydration is always my top priority. I’ve tried countless products in my search for intense moisture without the greasiness. My favorites include the Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil and the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Body Cream. Both smell like summer and provide my skin with the moisture it needs, although they are pretty pricey.

The Ingredients: Focused on replenishing hydration

• Niacinamide aids in calming redness and cultivating a more even skin tone.
• Glycerin helps keep skin soft and smooth. 
• Shea butter is a hydrator that helps soothe dryness. 
• Coconut oil locks in hydration, helping repair the skin barrier (with a sweet scent).
• Jojoba oil is hydrating without clogging pores. It works great for calming dry spots and promoting healing.
• Grapeseed oil is light, quick-absorbing, and filled with antioxidants to help keep skin hydrated.

How to Use: Hands-to-Toe

Incorporating the Vaseline Radiant X Collection into my routine was easy. Following the brand’s recommendations, I applied the Even Tone Nourishing Body Lotion daily after showering. The Deep Nourishment Hand Butter became a staple during my morning routine. I used the Body Cream as needed, usually after exfoliating and shaving. For an extra boost of hydration, I applied the Replenishing Body Oil on my arms, legs, and hands.

The Results: Soft skin 

The Vaseline Radiant X Collection immediately impressed me with its tropical scent, instantly transporting me to the beach. Despite some initial concerns—my skin is sensitive—the fragrance didn’t cause any issues. (However, using them daily might be a bit much for me.)

Overall, I was impressed by everything in the collection. Each product has a unique texture, but they all share one thing in common: They’re moisturizing without feeling sticky.

The Replenishing Hydrating Body Oil, in particular, became a staple for keeping my skin, hands, and nails hydrated. (I do wish the oil had a slightly thicker consistency, but that is just personal preference.) The Even Tone Nourishing Body Lotion was perfect for those days when I just wanted a simple, light layer of hydration. The Hand Butter is a dream for both morning and night routines, though I preferred to use it in the daytime due to the scent. The Deep Nourishment Body Cream was a real winner—I found myself reaching for it the most after showering.

The Value: Budget-friendly luxury

Talk about getting the most for your money: Everything in the Vaseline Radiant X Collection is under $20, offering great value for your body care routine. Not only do these products smell great—the scent is enjoyable without being overpowering—but they also deliver when it comes to hydration. The packaging is simple and user-friendly, making it a breeze to incorporate into your routine. Overall, the Vaseline Radiant X Collection offers unbeatable value for those looking for quality body care at an affordable price.
