[skincare] [anti-aging] Can vaseline (petroleum jelly) be used as a substitute for expensive eye creams?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Back story - I have eczema around my eyes and a friendly redditor suggested vaseline. I recently started using it and have noticed the hydration effects. I'm wondering if it functions just as well as one of those higher end, commercial, expensive eye creams. Do any of you have any resources, studies, or personal experience with this?
