Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

My mom suffered from some curious blood condition that compromised her immune system. We didnt know what it was, we just knew it didnt make her feel good and made everything an ordeal for her. One of her conditions was her skin was suffering and it was basically dehydrating, getting itchy and cracking. Needless to say, we did much research and came upon Vanicream. I initially thought it was one of those vaporous products they sell to women, but I was proven wrong. Vanicream ended up making my moms condition much more bearable. Vanicream returned her skin to normal, though I myself dont know what she was suffering from...one of those things you have to deal with living have the country away and working 40+ hours a week. But my mom is fine now, and I thank the makers of Vanicream for making a great product that worked for her.

my dermatologist and i recommend this product

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.

All the Vanicream products are fantastic. And Ive tried Every.Single.Skin.Product there is - natural, organic to items like CeraVe and (of course) Cetaphil. Nothing has been as effective and as great for my skin as Vanicream. I now tell all my siblings about it in Canada. HIGHLY recommend.

My daughter has flare ups with her eczema. She uses this to help with the dryness that she gets.

Recently I’ve noticed my mom showing up in the mirror- specifically her rosacea. I have very dry skin, don’t wear make up and have never taken great care of my skin, and at 48, it’s starting to show. I feel like in five days since I’ve started using this along with a thin layer of benzoyl peroxide that the rosacea has improved significantly. I slather it on currently and it feels sticky after a while, but hey, we’re not supposed to be touching our faces, right?

I will say that this product moisturized my face very well. Its a bit sticky but personally I did not mind it at all. What really made me dislike this product was the atrocious smell. The moisturizer I got smelled like rotten milk. I had gotten to a point where putting this on my face would make me gag. Perhaps this is a defect product.. and I hope it is because I think its a good moisturizer aside from the terrible smell. However, this is my second purchase of Vanicream moisturizers and both of them had that same nasty smell, so my track record with Vanicream moisturizers isnt great at all.

This lotion has exceed my expectations. I’ve put it on my face at least 3x a week this winter to help combat dry, flaky skin. I also put it on my face before heading out in for a run in cold weather. It doesn’t cause breakouts and is very mild. I’ve used it on my toddler’s sensitive skin as well without any issues.

This is great cream but unfortunately it didnt come with the pump and that was a must for me so I had to return and get at drugstore so I could ensure it came with the pump. But this cream was recommended by dermatologist. It does help eczema.

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?
