Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

Works well on my 2 1/2 year old. I apply twice a day sometimes 3. She has sensitive, eczema prone skin.

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

Once again I love this product for my 4-year old hypersensitive, highly allergic daughter. We tried every product - natural and non-specific brand at all the major retail stores for babies and kids. This one was recommended by her allergist (MD) and it has proven to be a great product. We use it on her eczema, dry skin, face, body, hands, you name it, and it does its job -- protective, gentle, fragrance free and MD recommended. I personally dont like the tub but you can purchase it with a pump for an extra cost.

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!

I need this every day of my life like I need my chapstick! I have used many other dermatologist recommended creams/lotions, but none of them satisfied my eczema like Vanicream does. Ever since Ive been introduced to this, I have not used any other lotion.

My five year old son has suffered with eczema his entire life. His doctors recommended vanicream to us, and we love all their products, particularly this cream and the sunscreen. It is hard to find products for sensitive skin which are also fragrance free, and thats important for us, as my son gets hives from anything with fragrance. Even lots of the naturals lines which advertise that they are for kids with eczema, have herbs and things in them which kids with allergies tend to be bothered by. This is thick, but soaks in quickly and doesnt leave a greasy residue. If applied immediately after bathing to moist skin, it really clears all his eczema spots up in a couple of uses. Definitely recommend.

This was recommended by a doctor to us for my daughter’s eczema. It is very moisturizing and doesn’t burn. I put a lot of Vanicream lotion and then put a tubular bandage on my daughter’s arms and legs and two days later her skin is so soft and eczema is better. We will always use this even as she grows up.

Great product for moisturizing. Great value

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 went to a dermatologist who covered my back in these allergy circle patch thingys to wear for a few days, and she told me she knew I would be allergic to fragrances. My lips and skin break out with almost any creams or lipsticks. Most creams and lip balms have fragrances, and then there are some she told me labeled as fragrance free that will have a masking fragrance in them, which are just as bad. Vanicream has neither, so Ive been using it for years. Its so expensive that when I see a deal, I buy a bunch. I save the ones with pumps and when Im done, use them on the less expensive ones without pumps. I use it everywhere, including my incredibly sensitive lips, and nothing Ive found it as good. Its thick, which I love. When you find a good deal (anything under $12), load up! Great stuff!
