Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

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 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.

It is an incredible moisturizer! I started off using as much of it as I would Cetaphil and found it quite heavy but Ive almost halved what I used and it feels light while still moisturizing well. A little goes a long way. It has no scent once applied which I like and no questionable ingredients.

I LOVE Vanicream products! If you or someone you know has sensitive skin or other issues, I highly recommend this cream. During a very serious reaction seven years ago my dermatologist told me not to use anything but Vanicream products. Prednisone and a steroid cream caused my condition to worsen and I had severe hives spread up my neck and cover my face. It was terrible! I give Vanicream a lot of the credit for my lack of scarring. It is very soothing! I have used them ever since. I love every product that I have tried. <3

Works well and lasts a long time. Does not irritate eyes if used on face and is not greasy. Reasonable price

Recommended by my dermatologist after I suffered breakouts of dermatitis/eczema, Vanicream works so well morning and night to moisturize my face. No more breakouts, and my skin at 67 is smoother than ever. I use the Vanicream facial wash twice daily, the Vanicream body lotion (daily) and the Vanicream antiperspirant each morning. Love these products that have no scent at all.

I recently got contact dermatitis and this helped calm and moisturize my irritated, dry skin. It is fragrance free, thick enough to easily apply. I love the jar so I can grab as much as I need to put on the irritated areas.

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.

I received this product yesterday and immediately put it on. With all the hand washing and hand sanitizering, my hands are very dry. A dermatologist recommended this product so I gave it a try. Its amazing already. I can tell the difference in my skin after one use. I will post an update if anything changes, but so far I am loving this product.

Bought this on a recommendation from another mother whose child has eczema and the weird all over tiny skin bumps that sometimes go with it. The ones that the dermatologist just tells you to moisturize/keep clean, but is too widespread for a prescription cream/ointment to be effective/and not sell a kidney expensive to maintain for long periods of time. By day two of applying the bumps were disappearing. Really pleased with results. It is about the consistency of a thick sunscreen, but absorbs into the skin for a soft layer not a greasy one.
