Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

I was given samples of this brand from an allergy specialist and it is really the only option I found for truly unscented, paraben free, hypoallergenic hygiene products. If what you need is unscented, hypoallergenic soap/shampoo/conditioner due to sensitive skin or an allergy, this is it. Its hard to come by and its nothing glamorous but it fits the bill when youre trying to avoid potential allergens. It can be purchased in some stores but it is not easy to find and it is more expensive. This is a thick, creamy lotion but it definitely works. Its more expensive than many lotions you find at the store but if you have very sensitive skin, its great.

I have been using Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream for several years. It is the best moisturizing product on the market! I have very fair and sensitive skin. This product contains no fragrances, dyes, or harsh chemicals. I use it to wash my face on a warm cloth. Then I apply some to my face before makeup. It keeps my skin from drying out even in the Winter. I would be lost without this product. My skin is sensitive to perfumes and chemicals normally found in moisturizers. This product is not greasy or oily and does not cause acne. I highly recommend this product and I thank Amazon for offering it at a very reasonable price.

So happy to have finally found the perfect lotion for my extra dry and sensitive skin! Have tried other brands but this is the only one that work! Very thick and moisturizing.

Ive tried everything, EVERYthing out there for eczema for the past 20 years. And Vanicream definitely takes the cake. Its thick and soothing to dry eczema-prone skin without burning, itching, or clogging pores. My dermatologist actually prescribed it (its stocked at some military pharmacies) but I couldnt find it in any local stores. Thank goodness for Amazon. The closest product I found is cetaphil, but Vanicream is much less greasy, absorbs quickly and (when applied lightly) really is non-comedogenic (doesnt clog pores) for those of us with combination skin. The pump is probably a good idea, when the lid isnt sealed tight it gets a little goopy and Then it can clog pores. Also, for those who have said its a bit too thick, try applying it right after showering - it locks in moisture and a the water helps thin it out. Its not a cure-all; I still use it in combination with derma-smoothe and triamcinolone for eczema trouble, but it definitely helps prevent eczema by keeping skin moisturized. For extra dry skin in the winter I recommend supplementing vanicream with pure grapeseed oil - seriously, it sounds strange but even the kitchen variety works well.

I bought this product recently after reading the reviews here at Amazon.com, and have only been using it for two days. Ive tried so many different moisturizers over the years, and some very pricey. I can honestly say, Vanicream is one of the best moisturizers Ive purchased! I dont think Ive ever been this enthused over a moisturizing cream. It is a bit thick when first applied, and just takes a little while to absorb into the skin, but once it does, I think you will be very impressed. Two days ago, my elbows were rough and peeling, and in less than 48 hours, the peeling has disappeared and Im left with nothing but soft and healthy skin. My chapped hands are no longer chapped, and they feel and look great. What else can I say? I will definitely continue buying this product. It came in a nice large jar (1 lb) and was quite a bargain here on Amazon. I was also happy to learn that it is free of harmful chemicals and dyes. That is very important...especially if you have sensitive skin. Im very pleased with this product, and I highly recommend it.

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

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]

I love that you get so much product for the price and it’s a great product for sensitive skin and it gets the job done in a simple way, but I hate that it sometimes feels like a film over my skin and though I Appreciate the lack of fragrance the smell isn’t great but again that’s OK

I love everything about this product. ❤️

I have been using Vanicream for a few years now. Prior to, I had used at least 100 different products because none worked super great for me. Once I got my first jar of Vanicream, I stopped looking elsewhere as this stuff is fantastic. Vanicream makes two general-use skin moisturizer: this (the standard cream) and the Lite Lotion, which is a thinner weight moisturizer. If you have skin problems like me, this product (the cream) is what you want. This is a thicker weight cream that applies easily, does not clog pores, and works for a very long time. Being thicker, it takes a little while to work it in, but you ultimately save time given most other products will require significantly more reapplications than the Vanicream cream. It works well on the face because its formulation is made not to clog pores and not flare acne, facial blemishes, minor injuries, etc. This cream was made primarily for people with skin issues (for normal skin, the Lite Lotion is probably a better match). Given skin issues often go along with allergies, this product is formulated so that it does not contain the ingredients that can inflame both skin and allergies (ex: scents). It also does not both asthma. Overall, Vanicream Cream is a product that has a lot of value when most standard moisturizers do not work. Its a strong moisturizer capable of helping your skin when most other products have failed to yield much or any improvement. The jar design they use is also very convenient. So if you have certain skin issues, chances are you will benefit from Vanicream more so than you will from other products.
