Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, 16 Ounces

This moisturizer is the best I have purchased yet. It has helped heal skin issues, provides a barrier of protection and even stops itching. Since using it for over a month, age spots are lightening and my complexion is even better! I had purchased a small tube but now have the 16oz size since my wife has taken an interest in using it as well. Works for me!

I have very dry skin from some meds I am taking and this was recommended and works very well.

I am absolutely in love with this product. I will forever have it in my home. It has helped SO MUCH with my toddler’s eczema. We put a Manuka lotion on first, let it dry, then this, then Aquapher and within 5 days, it’s breaking her eczema cycle. I had some dry skin on my face and this helped with that too. I’m soooo happy I found this and 100% credit it with helping her eczema. If you struggle with dry skin or eczema, GET THIS LOTION!

The product name obviously had a lot of thought put into it. The creators basically took two unrelated things, and made them into one. Vani, coming from Vanil Noir is a mountain of the Fribourg Prealps, located on the border between the cantons of Fribourg and Vaud in western Switzerland. With a height of 2,389 metres above sea level, the Vanil Noir is the highest summit of the canton of Fribourg and of the range lying north of the Saanenmöser Pass... and cream! as soon as this cream touched my babys face, I could almost smell the Shire!

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.

Love all of the Vanicream products. This lotion is heavier but absorbs quickly and does an amazing job of moisturizing, especially those dry heels. It also works great to mix with magnesium oil for extra magnesium without the gut side effects.

First off I would just say that the amount they give you for the price is alot !!! I didn’t realize it was going to be so huge. It’s gonna most def last a long time, you only need a little bit it on your face and it’s super moisturizing. I don’t have sensitive skin or anything but for some reason cream based moisturizer’s never go good with my skin?? But this is perfect. It has no scent or anything, I used it on my body as well, not as moisturizing for the body but more for the face.

So happy to have finally found the perfect lotion for my extra dry and sensitive skin! Have tried other brands but this is the only one that work! Very thick and moisturizing.

If youre new to eczema, bless you. You have a long road ahead. For most people, it does not go away. But this product is the best our family has found in this, our tenth year, of dealing with this very difficult skin disorder. My first reason for writing this review is to assure you that any bad reviews of this product are from (probably) nice, but uneducated-in-eczema individuals. There is no miracle product out there -- that weve found -- that makes eczema disappear. Some people have found products that keeps their eczema under control, but that is not what Vanicream is for. Vanicream is called a moisturizing skin cream. But with eczema, the key is to put moisture in the skin and trap it there. Thats where vanicream comes in. I absolutely love this product. But dont expect it to cure eczema. The day someone finds a cure for eczema, and one that works for everyone, it will be all over the news. I assure you. For now, too many pharmaceutical companies are making money off of its treatment, so I wouldnt hold my breath if I were you. There is a lot of information I want to share with you, but I want to mention this before I forget: sometimes amazon has a good price or some deal for vanicream, but Ive found that dermadoctor usually has the best price. If you buy over a certain dollar amount (which I always do) they give you free shipping. Thats sometimes 1/3 of the price of the product. And, if youre buying vanicream for dry skin, youll want to keep this in stock anyway. So go ahead and buy several at a time. Use Vanicream 1 - 3 minutes after exiting a VERY brief bath/shower. You do not have to use soap except in certain areas. And for that, use Vanicreams soap. You DO want to get water in the skin, but dont stay in the water so long that it washes out any moisture that may be there. One of the best pieces of advice I read in all of the eczema research I did is this: Water cleans. And it does. So dont think you have to use soap or scrubbing. A quick bath/shower with a soft cloth is all thats usually needed for eczema skin. TOWEL OFF LIGHTLY, just the water thats sitting on top of the skin. IMMEDIATELY put on the Vanicream. From water to toweling to Vanicream should be less than three minutes. This is crucial. The water cleans advice comes from a very helpul book called HEALING ECZEMA by Christina Nevada. If you are really suffering from eczema, you must read this book. A very helpful website (including educating your childs school on how difficult it is to live with eczema) [...] We have taken my son to at least 10 dermatologists who mostly seemed to have a very lackadaisical attitude toward eczema. Never having had it themselves, they must imagine it to be just an annoying little condition. In reality, those who live with it know that it can consume your life. You get no sleep, your aware of your skin all the time, you may be very self-conscious of your inflammations/wounds, while everyone else is sitting calmly, concentrating at work or in class, all you can think about is your skin, and so on. We finally did find a doctor that has compassion. For me, compassion is only second to really knowing your stuff in the medical profession. Dr. Crotty didnt prescribe a lot of meds, but even the ones he prescribed weve mostly stopped using. Only Dermasmooth really helps the skin during exceptional flare-ups, otherwise its managing your diet and your environment. We have also found it helpful to take an antihistamine to control the itching. But no prescription is needed for that. We just use Benadryl. Make your world mostly scentless (no perfumes, candles, etc). Keep your house as clean as possible. Change a/c filters often. Eat more healthy oils, like putting olive oil on salads. Eat VERY healthy. This means limiting junk food and take out and adding in lots and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Dont eat fresh strawberries unless their organic (due to pesticides) and limit acidic foods such as oranges as they actually change your bodys chem. balance. Soda/pop/cola/soft-drink is HORRIBLE for people with eczema. A book called The Acid Alkaline Food Guide by Dr. Susan E. Brown explains why. But the number one thing I have found to be helpful in dealing with this condition is God. Whether you believe in Him or not is not the issue. Im just telling you what has worked for our family. Lastly, to parents of eczema sufferers: Just know that eczema is affecting your child on an emotional level and have compassion over their lack of sleep and inability to concentrate (both of which gets them in trouble at school sometimes), as well as the irritability that they feel but cant explain, which gets them in trouble with you. Be patient with them. And be patient with yourself. Realize that this is affecting you too. But know that you and your child are in this together. Research, read, learn, and grow through this experience together. P.S. Stay out of the sun whenever possible. And when you are in the sun, wear sensitive-skin sunscreen. Vanicream makes one of those too.
