Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

Improved the softness of my skin in just two applications. Wonderful product that literally stopped the itch of my dry skin.

Great product, but not quite the remedy when it comes to much baby’s eczema despite the recommendation from his doctor.

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.

First off I would just say that the amount they give you for the price is alot !!! I didn’t realize it was going to be so huge. It’s gonna most def last a long time, you only need a little bit it on your face and it’s super moisturizing. I don’t have sensitive skin or anything but for some reason cream based moisturizer’s never go good with my skin?? But this is perfect. It has no scent or anything, I used it on my body as well, not as moisturizing for the body but more for the face.

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]

Honestly I only picked this up because I always see in my grandparents house. It doesnt have a scent, which kinda bothered me. I can see that this is good for sensitive noses and skin folks. Its moisturizing but not more than 12 hrs. You need to re-apply after that.

I usually spend entirely too much money on bougie skin care products that promise me I am going to look 20 years younger if I just pay their exorbitant price and use it. My bathroom cabinet of half used moisturizers is a testament to the fact that I am a marketers dream and can be sold anything. My esthetician Monica at my plastic surgeon’s office suggested this. She had other products she suggested that were more expensive and surprisingly effective but she said for an everyday moisturizer, this is all I need. She was correct. Vanicream has such a great soft fluffy texture, goes on smoothly, is not heavy or overly greasy, and is unscented.. I put a dollop in my hand, squirt on a pump of my BB cream and I have an instant tinted moisturizer. I also dip my concealer wand into a dab of it and it keeps it from caking up in my crow’s feet. Finish with a light powder brushed all over your face and you are ready for the day. If you are a fabulous 50-ish woman, do yourself a favor and give it a try. It is not expensive for the large amount you get and will last a long time.

It actually held up. The moisture stayed in and helped balance eczema. Will definitely recommend this soap to other people with skin sensitivity.

This is this best cream for sensitive skin. I had a dermatitis breakout on my face and this is the only moisturizer than I could use that didnt make it worse. I love this moisturizer.
