Q: I ALSO GOT SHOCKED. I thought I was going crazy and even had my husband come and test it and he got shocked when we pushed down on the pump. Why is this happening?

submitted by Diana - 1 year ago

  • A: I was also very strongly shocked while using this face wash in the shower, I saw an actual spark! I do NOT recommend!

    submitted byKristin Sepulvado - 11 months ago

  • A: Yep same!! Happened just last night. I was in the shower sooo *moisturized* … HA! But just the first pump. It’s been fine after that.

    submitted byKtavarez - 1 year ago

  • A: Static electricity can form when the air is really dry. Make sure to keep your hands moisturized to help with this.

Q: Is this a non-foaming face wash or does it suds up?

submitted by sarah - 8 years ago

  • A: It does become foamy.

    submitted bybezen - 8 years ago

  • A: I would definitely consider this a foaming cleaner. It makes the clean feel nice and deep.

    submitted byRaaychel890 - 1 year ago

  • A: It's creamy. So I wouldn't say it foams up so much, but it has a slip to it.

    submitted byjetstream - 8 years ago

Q: why do I receive a painful shock when I touch the blue pump top of this vanicream facial cleanser? After the 5th scary painful shock I threw it away!

submitted by Louise - 2 years ago

  • A: We don’t know how to answer this, as the pump is not conducive, nor is there a product question here.

Q: Can you please remove MICA from this cleanser? It's not needed in a cleanser, irritates skin.

submitted by Tcustomer - 3 years ago

  • A: Thank you for your comments. We will share them with our formulating team.

Q: Can this cleanser remove waterproof sunscreen?

submitted by Alana - 6 years ago

  • A: Yes this is a gentle cleanser, yet powerful enough to remove any makeup/skincare products/sunscreen/lotion that is sitting on your skin.

    submitted byJen - 6 years ago

  • A: Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is our mildest cleanser specifically formulated for daily facial use. Helps remove makeup and excess skin oils without drying your skin. Leaves skin feeling clean and soft.

Q: Is this cleanser cruelty free?

submitted by Sylla - 6 years ago

  • A: Pharmaceutical Specialties Inc. does not test our products on animals.

    submitted byVanicream Skin Care - 6 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: Although Vanicream and Pharmaceutical Specialties Inc. do not test on animals themselves, they nonetheless delegate this task to others, in this case to an “outside laboratory”. This means that they allow their finished products or ingredients to be tested on animals by suppliers, third parties, or both. Vanicream is not cruelty-free.

    submitted byColieolieoh - 11 months ago

Q: What is the difference between this cleanser and the gentle facial cleanser if they are both for sensitive skin?

submitted by Liz - 7 years ago

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is free of common chemical irritants found in ordinary facial cleansers such as: dyes, fragrance, masking fragrance, lanolin, parabens, formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, and other preservatives. It is soap-free, oil-free, cocamidopropyl betaine-free, sulfate-free, and gluten-free.

    I was recommended this facial cleanser by my dr for acne that I was experiencing. I have it a shot because what could it hurt? This has helped clear any acne spots I had and I have not had a breakout since! It's budget-friendly and works, so I will definitely be keeping it on the shelf!

    Recommend to ANYONE

    So gentle! Acne safe - I enjoy their facial moisturizer too! Switched from expensive acne face wash and La Roche moisturizer that weren’t helping my acne or skin barrier. This at least helps my skin not feel overly irritated and stripped

    This is the only thing that helps my rosacea! Even the prescription face wash that the dermatologist prescribed me did not help.

    Did they change the ingredients?

    Used to love this cleanser and used it no problem. Now?? It’s making me break out terribly since repurchasing it at target in February. I noticed from photos how BAD my acne has been since then. Really sad and I feel like I have to find a new cleanser now.

    Nope.

    I don't think this is very gentle or good for sensitive skin. It feels stripping and drying. I used it for a few days and my skin has never looked worse. I had some flushing and also new acne.
