Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

Great product for moisturizing. Great value

My dermatologist recommended this line of products for my extremely dry and flaky skin. I find this very good for moisterizing. Does not really help for keeping the flaking under control. For that I find using Aquaphor Healing ointment best. KB in NM

I thought I had previously reviewed the products thanking the maker for saving my life. My face suddenly became allergic to everything 2 years ago. I had all kinds of testing and trials, I paid huge sums of money for fancy products at the mall with promises that now I would be happy. Thank heavens a good dermatologist, thank you Sarah, suggested Vani products to me and my whole life has changed. I can actually put on some eye makeup now! And if you are old like me, you want to add a little frill every once in a while. The cream is a bit heavy for my kids (twenty somethings) but if you massage it in a bit, it is gone and you dont feel it. These pots will last and last and the price is amazing. Do we want the manufacturer to know this or is s/he already making millions off of us?

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.

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 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.

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

I work at a hospital in Denver specializing in treating allergies and skin conditions. They sell this in the gift shop and its wonderful. I have eczema and very dry sensitive skin (not helped by living at altitude in an arid climate). The dermatologists here recommend the soak and seal method of skin care. Soak in a bath (not hot) or shower for 10-15 minutes. Pat skin with towel but do not dry completely. Then apply a thick, unscented cream like Vanicream to seal in moisture. Research shows that a genetic flaw seems to be responsible for skin that doesnt hold enough moisture, which can lead to skin problems. This method works great!

This stuff is the best for babies with eczema!
