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]

This is a good product for everyone, especially babies tender skin.

My daughter has extremely sensitive, dry skin with red bumps and a rash. Shes been diagnosed with keratosis pilaris, which is kind of like eczema. We have tried every prescription and over the counter cream available. The only thing that ever worked well was Aquaphor, but she doesnt like the greasy feel and has started to refuse to have it applied. After some research, I tried Vanicream. I also bought California Baby Hair and Body Wash for Super Sensitive Skin. The combination of these two (which Ive only been using for a week now) has been amazing. Her legs feel smoother and softer than they have since she was a baby -- literally. Love this product.

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

I dont remember how many tubs Ive used up. Ive always wanted to try some fancy face and body lotions but in the end I just had to come back to this. I live in a humid weather and I have combination oily skin yet I still use it even in the summertime (just less amount). Recently my aunt had some unknown skin issue (most likely due to coldness and dryness) I let her try Vanicream and few days later, no more issue for her.

I bought this when my hands got red & cracked at the beginning of covid from washing so much and all those alcohol cleaners! It worked!

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.

My dermatologist recommended this to me due to my chronically dry skin. Within a matter of days, my skin no longer had that chalky look. Its a miracle, as far as Im concerned, because I have tried at least a dozen different so-called moisturizers. I only have two very minor complaints. The first is if I happen to put even a small amount of this on my face, I break out. Im not quite sure why that would be. I use Vanicream LIte for my face and its fine; however, it doesnt moisturize quite as effectively. The second small complaint I have is that even though it isnt supposed to have a fragrance, it does have a slight odor that I dont particularly care for. Its easy enough to cover up with body spray, though, and most people probably wouldnt even notice it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this moisturizer to anyone who has been struggling with dry, ashy skin. It certainly works for me!

This is a wonderful product for someone with sensitive skin. I have had a difficult time finding a product that moisturizes and doesnt cause eye sensitivity. This is it!

My toddler developed eczema and the pediatrician recommended this. I, myself suffer from dry skin patches only. I dont like it; its too thick and greasy for me. Ive used it a couple times and definitely not regularly. This is good enough as a barrier to prevent loss of moisture for those with very dry skin, but it doesnt moisturize very well. I would recommend to put this over another light moisturizer after a shower or in the morning. Our skin conditions have improved, but my toddlers eczema is persistent and flares up every other day. This truly is a daily use product. Overall, its good enough.
