We are an FDA-inspected cGMP facility that adheres to higher quality ingredients that include careful research in selection and rigorous in-house testing of both raw ingredients such as petrolatum as well as the finished products such as Vanicream™ Moisturizing Lotion.

It is highly refined, purified, filtered, tested, and passes the most stringent test to avoid harmful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to meet or exceed these standards.

Q: Why is there not ceramides and hylauronic acid in the lotion and cream? It's in the facial cream and I love it. Also, is the cream and lotion greasy upon application.

submitted by Lisa P - 1 year ago
  • A: The Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion and Cream are formulated specifically for those with sensitive skin. If you are looking for a moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides, Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer is a great option and is also formulated without common chemical irritants.

Q: How different is this from the Vanicream Cream? I see minor (?) differences in ingredients. Has anyone used both and can compare? (I realize most skin creams and lotions are much richer in the cream formula ... )

submitted by Target customer - 5 years ago
  • A: My understanding is that the lotion is just lighter than the cream. Cream tends to be a way thicker consistency.

    submitted byParvani - 5 years ago

Q: Can I use it as an eye cream?

submitted by Carla - 6 years ago
  • A: It doesn't have any added benefits really, but I don't see why not.

This product contains BHT, an endocrine and thyroid disruptor. I have hyperthyroidism and Since using this product, my lab tests drastically worsened. I started scanning my products with an ingredient scanner app and found this one with a red flag. Since I threw it out, my lab tests have improved again.

This is more like a cream and not a lotion, I don’t think it would be suitable for sensing as it is so thick and greasy. Maybe good for hand cream, I will not be purchasing this again.

This lotion is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. It doesn't contain many of the allergens or fragrances found in most lotions. Only complaint was that the bottle was damaged from poor packaging. It was only dented and not punctured, so I could still use it.

My dermatologist recommended vanicream and I usually the cream but it’s a bit too heavy in the summer. This was a little light for my dry skin but mixing the cream in was a perfect consistency. This never breaks me out and I’ve started using it for my body moisturizer also. I love that it’s fragrance free also

TP - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I have sensitive, oily, acne prone skin. I LOVE this stuff. The texture is like a heavy serum. My skin DRINKS this stuff and it doesn't feel greasy or heavy once absorbed. And it's one of the most cost-effective moisturizers you can buy! I have tried the daily facial moisturizer from Vanicream as well, but the lotion is definitely more moisturizing. I would imagine the facial moisturizer would be a better AM moisturizer.

This helps with eczema or if you just have sensitive skin. This the only thing my kid uses for his face and body. Also a must buy if you want to be moisturized without having to worry about any unnecessary additions.

I was diagnosed with Rosacea this year and this was recommended by my dermatologist. I decided to give it a try because it seemed to have pretty good ingredients, good reviews, and no scent! I love the price and have had this for a while now. I feel like it will last forever. It goes on very smooth and doesn’t leave an oily residue. I also use it for my tattoos and overall body lotion so I don’t feel sticky.
