Customer Reviews

One of those great hidden secrets!
What a marvelous product this is, and it's so vastly under-rated (and not so easy to find, either). I discovered it last year when my husband was hospitalized with an illness that created a nasty side effect: a painful red and bumpy skin rash on his arms and legs. His dermatalogist (who is truly a godsend to us!) suggested that we use this product religiously to relieve even the toughest skin reactions and allergies.

At first you might think it's rather costly, but let me reassure you, the one pound container will last you quite a while. I would definitely recommend getting the pump to use with it, also. Otherwise you'll have a mess on your hands when you reach the bottom of the tub.

This product is great for the most sensitive skin, and also can be purchased in bar-form for use in the shower. For really severe skin rashes, try soaking gauze in warm water (as warm is can be tolerated), lay it on the area that's bothering you, and cover the entire area with warm towels. Leave these on for at least thirty minutes to get the most effect for the treatment (you'll probably have to repeatedly warm the towels so the gauze stays warm). You'll be rewarded with soft and greatly revived skin. If you repeat this treatment twice a day for a while, you'll see dramatic improvements in the condition of your skin. The redness will be relieved, and the dry texture will become softer and more supple.

While my results may not be achieved by everyone, I still believe that, dollar for dollar, this is a "must have" product to keep on hand.

Excellent Moisturizer
I discovered Vanicream when I took my father to the Mayo Clinic for his surgery and it was used in his post-surgical care. The nurses were raving about it, so I asked what was so great about it. It was apparently developed by Mayo dermatologists and is the preferred healing cream at the clinic.

Anway, decided to try it on my dry skin and it's been very effective - done what multiple prescription products from my dermatologist haven't: let my very dry skin heal.

I will continue using it.

good for dry skin
This is a nice product for people with very dry, sensitive skin. Unfortunately it is so thick that is sometimes hard to spread around and in itself can be a little drying.
