Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

I read the review about eczema and felt compelled to write. Many struggle to find a cure for this condition and we were blessed to break the eczema cycle on our daughter who itched constantly. We still use Vanicream today to help moisturize her skin. It had been 9 years and I do not remember all of the details, but here is what I can tell you. We learned from a local school counselor whose son had eczema bad. She visited the National Jewish Hospital in Colorado who specializes in auto immune diseases. Here is a general treatment summary. Soak in the bathtub (or hands if that is only area affected) in as hot as water as tolerable for exactly 20 minutes. Do not dry off, and on the hot spots, we dabbed a 1% steroid ointment---might have been elecon, but I cant remember. Do not rub in. On the rest of the skin, we smothered in Vanicream. We then dressed her in wet pajamas soaked in warm water (ringed out) and put two layers of dried sweats on her to keep her warm. She kept the clothes on for two hours minimum and when we took off, layered again in vanicream and rubbed it in this time and put on regular clothes. Do this three or four times a day (yes, it takes a commitment) At nighttime, we tried to have her sleep in the wet clothes as long as possible. We did this for 5 days and IT BROKE HER ECZEMA CYCLE. It is the only treatment I have ever heard of that worked. Steriods were getting too much, nothing seemed to work and we went to Cleveland Clinic, and at least 10 other doctors and all we heard was Steriods is the answer and It is a tough disease that she will have to live with TOday she is 15 and just has dry skin at times. I still buy vanicream and I would recommend anyone who is struggling with eczema to try the above.....cant hurt and could change your life. It changed hers and ours [email protected]

The fact that it comes in a tub is a plus because it is easier to use and eliminates waste. It is very helpful with my newly developed eczema. The only issue is that when you are covering your entire body you can go through a tub in a hurry, and it becomes very expensive. This one criticism is of course true of all such products. Recommended! B.K.

This product works well for moisturizing my sensitive skin

My baby dermo recommend this product and its very good keep baby skin soft and moist.

Don’t use anything but Vanicream products on your skin and it will improve. Amazing what happens to your skin when you take away the heavily tainted products.

I bought this thinking the word moisturizing means the cream acts like some of the other lotions I have: goes on and you keep rubbing your hands together until you dont feel the lotion anymore. Thats not the case. My hands feel greasy afterwards. Im afraid if I touch anything that Ill just leave oily stains everywhere. It does not have a scent though, which is nice. I just wish they made it clear in the description that it leaves your hands feeling greasy. Now Im out $15 for a tub that I use a little of each day. What you really want if you dont want your hands greasy after use is the Lite Lotion variant of this product.

Saw this on Today show. My skin is so dry. Like it’s thick. Not greasy. Works even on my rough elbows

Did wonders in helping to treat my perioral dermatitis which was brought on by nasal spray and fluoride in my toothpaste. I had no idea what was causing my skin to react and could not figure out this rash. I had recently switched toothpaste and started using a different nasal spray. Theae changes, which I figured out after speaking to a Dermatologist, majorly irritated the skin under my nose and caused little patches to break out near my eyes. I discontinued the use of the toothpaste and nasal spray, and I have been using this cream as recommended by my dermatologist. Three weeks later, skin has improved and PD cleared up! This does not irritate my skin and keeps it moisturized. I had been using Eucerin and Ceravie but those I found were too thick, irritated my skin.

I love that its unscented! Also, my skin is very sensitive and its responding beautifully to this cream. I cant believe it took me so long to discover it. My dermatologist recommended it and my first thought was that it must be expensive, Instead, its dirt cheap and works great! I plan to buy more of the Vanicream products.

My daughter has flare ups with her eczema. She uses this to help with the dryness that she gets.
