Dermatologist Muneeb Shah has named an affordable, everyday cosmetic product that could save you money and help reduce wrinkles.

Which product works better than expensive face creams?

Dr. Muneeb Shah, known online as DermDoctor, claims that a simple jar of petroleum jelly is all you need to care for the skin around your eyes.

According to the expert, pure petroleum jelly contains no lipids or emollients, helping your skin stay hydrated and reducing the risk of wrinkles.

"It's actually an amazing trick, and I do it all the time," he said.

"First, I apply a gentle moisturizer, like Cerave, then I layer original petroleum jelly over it. It's the best for dry skin and protecting the eyelids from irritating ingredients like retinol and exfoliating acids. This works especially well in winter," he explained.
