codl cream is name on mustela tube in Portugal This is only the case because Mustela opted not to translate cold cream to creme gordo - the person posting on this forum ios simply referring to exact brand names. I agree that it's not vaseline, which is petroleum jelly and not cream at all.
Muriel Vasconcellos Oct 28, 2008:
Not Vaseline or cold cream Logic implies that it's probably not Vaseline or cold cream from the reference below.

A médica recomendou creme gordo barral e vaselina mas duvido k irá passar. ... também usei cold cream da mustela e faz o mesmo resultado. ...

cold cream

Creme gordo is of a thicker consistency than mosturising cream and is the term used to refer to creams such as Nivea and Pond's cold cream. It usually comes in a tin rather than in a bottle, which is how cold cream is usually sold also.

Should also say that these days it can be bought in a tube, too. The tin is traditional.

petroleum jelly (Vaseline)

The description sounds like Vaseline to me, but I am better with Brazilian Portuguese, so I never heard of creme gordo
