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 - 10 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 - 10 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.

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.

Not it

Made my skin worse in 1 use. I have very sensitive skin and a damaged barrier. I was recommended to try this as a gentle face cleanser to repair my skin barrier. It felt fine during use but shortly after rinsing off, my face started to burn and feel really tight. I woke up with new bumps on my face, extra dryness in one area. My skin just looks and feels wose than it did before. Maybe this works for some people but definitely not for me.

Amazing product!

Absolutely recommend this cleanser! Gentle and kind to the skin, it cleanses incredibly well. I’m prone to oily skin, and it’s been difficult to find a cleanser that doesn’t trigger excess sebum or leave my skin feeling tight and dry—this one does it perfectly.

Gentle & Clean

My fave face wash. I’ve bought tons. I use Tretinoin and other actives. This soap never makes my face tingle. Love the way it feels on my skin. Face and neck always come out very clean but not fully stripped.

Vanicream for the Win > High End Products

I have extremely sensitive skin and I found people saying this worked for them. I couldn't believe it but I purchased the vanicream face wash and moisturizer... my irritation went down within days, I needed a fragrance free and clean brand. This will heal your skin.

Stinks

After washing my face with this, my skin feels tight. But worse, it is “fragrance free” but not “odor free”. Smells hints of vinegar. I literally held my breath while using.
