Moisturizing Cream

When their barrier is upset, they switch to the tub of Vanicream for a few days.

A user relies on the Vanicream Moisturizing Cream in the pump tub as basically the only thing they can use when their moisture barrier is wrecked.

“On the vanicream train here, the stuff in the tub with the pump is basically all I can use when my moisture barrier gets wrecked”

A user calls Vanicream's tub cream their holy grail for any skin irritation.

“Their tub cream is my HG for all things skin irritation.”

Two months of good results: the only cream that doesn't break them out or irritate their SLS-allergic skin.

“I've been using the vanicream moisturizing cream that comes in the tub for the last 2 months and seeing good results.”

Broke them out badly when they tried it on their face.

“This broke me out so much!!!!! Omg can’t believe I have tried this for my face”

Too occlusive for their face, so they use it up on their neck.

“I have been using Vanicream moisturizing cream on my neck because it became to occlusive for my face”

Their skin loves the tub cream even though the brand's lotion burns them.

“Yep I can't use the lotion (it burns and causes redness) but my skin LOVES the stuff in the tub.”

Great and non-irritating for them.

“The vanicream in a tub a great and non irritating for me though!”

Outstanding for sensitive skin: never stings and calms redness, though thick and slow to absorb.

“I've been using the Vanicream cream in the tub, its a workhorse and it's outstanding. Great for sensitive skin, it really has nothing reactive in it, so it never stings.”

Vanicream in the tub is the best moisturizer for them: thick, unscented, for sensitive skin, and a tub lasts about six months, so they'll never buy expensive moisturizers again.

“It’s thick, no scent, and made for sensitive skin.”

Vanicream in the tub is amazing and cheap enough to use on neck and chest too.

“Vanicream in the tub (I have the tub + pump) is amazing.”

A game-changer layered over moisturizer to lock in hydration.

“I started layering vanicream moisturizing cream (specifically the cream — it’s thick and occlusive) over my usual moisturizer, and it was a GAME-CHANGER for locking in hydration.”

Works great at night, though it's very thick and sits on top rather than sinking in.

“vanicream moisturizing cream (the one in the tub) work great for me!! Just be wary that the moisturizing cream is really thick”

Their inexpensive moisturiser for years: thick but not greasy.

“A wonderful, inexpensive moisturizer I’ve been using for years is Vanicream moisturizing cream in the big tub with the blue pump. No frills, thick but not greasy.”

The only moisturiser that works for them in winter after many others left skin painfully dry.

“The Vanicream tub moisturizer with the pump is the only moisturizer that works for me in the winter.”

Works great on their dry, sensitive, eczema-prone face in a very cold winter.

“The thick Vanicream moisturizer meant for the body works great for my face in winter”

After the Daily Facial Moisturizer stung them, Vanicream Moisturizing Cream has been working well.

“I’m still using the Vanicream moisturizing cream in a tube and it’s working well for me.”

Topping their night moisturizer with Vanicream Moisturizing Cream from the tub has made a huge difference; they wake up with well-moisturized skin.

“I’ve been topping off my usual night moisturizer with vanicream moisturizing cream (the one in the tub) and it’s been making a huge difference for me.”

Has used Vanicream Moisturizing Cream on their face for a couple of years and loves it, including through severe eyelid eczema.

“I’ve been using it on my face for a couple years now, and I love it.”

Very acne-prone skin used Vanicream Moisturizing Cream day and night for years without breakouts, alongside tretinoin, and goes back to it when their skin is angry.

“I used it as my primary moisturizer day and night for many years without any issues. I’m very acne prone and it’s never caused breakouts for me.”

Cheap per pound, and their sensitive tretinoin skin has never been happier.

“A drop of the ordinary rosehip oil mixed with vanicream moisturizing cream. It is $10 for the oil and $15 per POUND of vanicream and my face has never been happier.”

Finds the thicker Vanicream Moisturizing Cream doesn't rub in well and sits on top of the skin, occlusive like Vaseline.

“I just feel it doesn’t rub in that well and kind of sits on top of my skin instead of absorbing.”

Tried Vanicream Moisturizing Cream on the sub's recommendation; its petrolatum base doesn't suit their skin.

“I would not say it's bad because a lot of people love it, it's just bad for me. I tried the regular Vanicream Moisturizing Cream”

A favourite, used for slugging at night.

“Vanicream Gentle Cleanser is my favorite, along with the Daily Facial Moisturizer (day/night moisturizer) and Moisturizing Cream (for slugging).”

Finds it just okay after switching from Cetaphil's moisturizer.

“Honestly I feel like vanicream is just okay for my skin”

Prefers the lotion because the thicker cream seems to give them comedones after prolonged use.

“I feel like the cream gives me comedones after prolonged use”

Uses the cream at night and finds the short ingredient list has helped their sensitive skin.

“I use the cream at night and the lotion in the day”

Clogged their combo, acne-prone skin.

“Cerave, Cetaphil, Vanicream (both the daily moisturizer and moisturizing cream), and LRP double repair have all clogged my pores.”

Loves it, and so does their wallet.

“I love the lite lotion and the moisturizing cream so much. And so does my wallet”

Light and no breakouts, though slow to absorb.

“I use the moisturizing cream on my face and it’s light and hasn’t caused me to break out. It does take a minute absorb which is my only complaint.”

Their holy grail moisturizer on tretinoin, at an affordable price.

“Now my HG's are Vanicream cleanser and moisturizing cream (and lotion). Soooo glad to have found quality products at such an affordable price.”

Their night cream for three years; the best they've found.

“I've since switched to Vanicream moisturizing lotion for day and the cream for night and I love it. I've been using these for 3 years”

Since starting tretinoin it has been their skin savior.

“Since starting tretinoin, Vanicream Moisturizing Cream has been my skin savior”

Loves Vanicream Moisturizing Cream but it breaks them out.

“I love the moisturizing cream but it breaks me out so I thought I’d try the daily facial moisturizer.”

After the Daily Facial Moisturizer irritated them, they did well with the Vanicream Moisturizing Cream.

“i got lucky with the vanicream tub moisturizer with the pump and the daily one definitely was causing my irritation and issues.”

Uses derm-recommended Vanicream Moisturizing Cream nightly; a $10-15 pound tub lasts six months.

“Vanicream moisturizing cream for sensitive skin. My dermatologist recommended it and I use it every night. It’s inexpensive, about $10-$15 for a 1 pound tub. It lasts me 6 months!”

Great and soothing for barrier repair, but leaves their skin looking oily.

“They're great and soothing but naturally my skin looks like an oil mess (despite it being a dry desert within)”

Part of the routine that cleared their acne and stopped new dark spots; a jar lasts months.

“I switched my lotion to vanicream which you can get at CVS or Walgreens for $16 and the jar lasts a very long time (3-4 months).”

Has saved their face many times; bare-bones and great for sensitive skin.

“Vanicream moisturizing cream (not the facial one) has saved my face sooooo many times! It’s really bare bones so perfect for sensitive skin.”

The tub moisturizer with the cleanser seemed to dry them out and irritate.

“I then tried the vanicream cleanser and moisturizer from the tub and that seemed to dry me out more and irritate my skin”

One of the few moisturisers they can use; they recommend it for dehydrated skin.

“Vanicream is one of the FEW moisturizers I can use. I recommend it to everyone with dehydrated skin.”
