I use differin gel for acne. I apply Vaseline to sensitive areas like eyes, corners of nose, and around the mouth to ensure no extra irritation happens incase the gel comes in contact with those areas. Before I apply those products I put Latisse on first and wait 15 to 30 minutes for it to absorb. Then, I go in with Vaseline and continue as before, but my concern is does Vaseline prevent some absorption of Latisse after its already been applied?
