Omg you have to try this :)

I literally love this cleanser. This the only cleanser that doesn’t trigger my fungal acne. I really recommend for people who are sensitive and have fungal acne like mines.

Great cleanser. Any facial bar options?

Love this cleanser. Very gentle and leaves skin feeling clean but not dry. Can this be offered in a bar format in the future? Would really like a non bottled version.

Fantastic Cleanser for hard or Soft Water

I had trouble with being allergic to every cleanser I tried until this. This is calming and non sensitizing . No redness . Ingredients are much much better than Cevave and Cetaphil . Cerave had silicones in it and coated my skin badly . Cetaphil did not clean well . This is great for super hard water or soft .as it rinses clean in both kinds of water. I just love that I found this and I am also using the facial moisturizer which tops all of the moisturizers I ever used.

Awesome

I just wanted to write a review saying this is the best cleanser I've ever used! It does not irritate my skin at all. I've used cerave and all the other ones for sensitive skin but this one never left my face red or stinging. It has removed my acne and has made my skin so soft. I even use their face hylaronic acid moisturizer and that is awesome to. Please don't ever discontinue your products or change them, they are wonderful!!

great

many products by cetaphil and cerave do not lather much at all and i have always hated that. this lathers great, it doesn't break me out, but it's a touch drying. i suppose that may be a consequence for how much it lathers. my biggest complaint is the packaging. several bottles in a row now have had product leak from the top every time i dispense the product. please update the packaging because it's terrible. honestly, get rid of the pump entirely because they just end up in a landfill.

Good stuff

I have super sensitive skin. Like on a scale from 1-10, 1 being "I wash my face with sandpaper and don't flinch" and 10 being "water hurts" i'm a solid 8 on a good day. This is one of the only products I've found that caused absolutely no irritation. Not even a tingle. Let me tell y'all, it is so nice to have a product that doesn't make me want to peel my face off. Please keep making these.

I absolutely love this facial cleanser. It’s so cheap and lasts for months. I started breaking out like around february and tried every single other facial cleansers and when I started using this one, my face started healing. I barely have any pimples or breakouts now. This cleanser never burned my skin and I have like dry skin/eczema and I had a really bad flare up with my eczema to where it looked like someone took a scour to my face. This cleanser isn’t as drying as other ones I’ve tried out like Cerave but it does do its job of getting rid of excess oils. My favorite cleanser ever and would recommend to those with sensitive skin. I pair this with the lubriderm fragrance free lotion (I’m probably going to switch to the vanicream lotion though) and the pacifica vegan free ceramide face cream barrier and my flare ups have gone down a ton in just a few days.

Gentle Facial Cleanser

I adore this product! I was recently diagnosed with rosacea and since then I started using this twice daily morning an evening before applying the medical topical lotion recommended by the dermatologist. It feels so gentle, does not stress my skin at all - it actually calms it instantly. It removes the redness, cools the skin and leaves it clean and moist. I will never stop using this. Thank you Vanicream for the gentlest and most effective facial cleanser ever!

Face cleanser

My new favorite face wash. Doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I have spent so much money in the past on items that never worked for my skin. I highly recommend this face wash for super sensitive skin & acne. I am fair skin and sometimes my face gets super red. This face wash helps my skin look nice & feel clean.

Vanicream products

Absolutely wonderful. After days of scratching my skin to bleeding, I was able to meet with an allergy MD who recommended Vanicream. From the minute I started using the products I have felt and looked better. Thank you, Dr. Zigler, for such immediate relief and for helping my skin and my attitude heal.
