Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

First let me say that I am a label-reader: I read ingredients on everything from soup to nuts to skin creams. I never buy a product because of the package design or the celebrity that is marketing it. I go straight to the ingredients and make my decision from there (for all the Aquaphor-users out there, read the label - its Vaseline). While its very true that Vanicream is a nice, non-irritating cream for sensitive skin, the list of ingredients is still made up of long-syllabled chemicals that are hard to pronounce. This doesnt sit well with me, but my daughters dermatologist recommended it so thats why I purchased this product. Vanicream looks, feels, and smells (there is no smell) just like Cetaphil cream. In fact, we alternate between the two depending which is on sale at the time. We tend to stay away from creams that are perfumey or greasy, so when we dont want to splurge financially on natural homeopathic creams with natural ingredients that are familiar and easy to pronounce, we always come back to Vanicream.

This product has replaced Cetaphil cream for me. Its lighter and less greasy than Cetaphil which I like. I use it for moisturizing my face and body, and also as a styling product for my hair since all hair products contain PEGs (and/or alcohol) which I have developed an allergy to. I put it on my (short) hair when its towel dry and combed.

Apparently I am allergic to the preservatives used in most lotions and creams. Dermatologist and Alergist recommended this cream. Problem solved!

It’s fine. A bit stickier as you apply compared to cerave, but it goes away as cream absorbs into the skin. I usually buy Cerave but wanted to try vanicream since everybody recommends it as a cheaper alternative. Well, it wasn’t cheaper really. And as I understand doesn’t have ceramides and other good stuff that Cerave has. It smells a bit off to me too. If it was $9 instead of $13 I would say it’s a good alternative. But a buck or two (or in case of a coupon -$0 ) dollars difference doesn’t make it a worthy contestant. CeraVe is nicer in terms of texture, almost no smell compared to Vanicream moisturizer, and has ceramides.

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.

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

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 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.

Easy to apply

My dermatologist recommended! There is little scent which I love. The cream is soft and easy to apply.
