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 - 2 years 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 - 2 years 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 - 9 years 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

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

    submitted byRaaychel890 - 2 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.

Q: Can this cleanser remove waterproof sunscreen?

submitted by Alana - 7 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 - 7 years ago

  • 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 - 1 year ago

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

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

submitted by Liz - 8 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.

New packaging!!!

I saw that the bottle label and design is new. Upon inspecting the new one it no longer says on the label that ". This non-irritating formula is free of dyes, fragrance, masking fraarance. lanolin. parabens. formaldehvde. and other preservatives." I'm questioning this and will call the company to confirm.

Holy grail for sensitive skin!

I started using this almost 5 years ago after I developed perioral dermatitis while pregnant. It’s been so good for my sensitive skin. It cleans effectively and takes my makeup off really well, although I don’t wear a ton and not every day. Would totally recommend and love that it’s affordable.

Does NOT remove makeup.

High reviews? I have sensitive skin and this doesn’t irritate it; however, reviewers say it takes off makeup. It doesn’t! Following up with astringent shows makeup all over the cotton pad.

Holy grail!!!

This cleanser is so good, my holy grail. It’s the only cleanser I’ve found that does not irritate my skin while using tretinoin (retinol) 2-3 times per week. Highly recommend!!

The most important ingredient really is trust

I trust Vanicream to provide all of my personal care products. They are the only company I have found that actually formulates products for allergic/reactive/sensitive skin types like mine and my daughters. We've tried "toxin free"/ "natural, organic" brands only to be left with raw, bumpy, itchy, inflamed skin and scalps. The Vanicream shampoo and conditioner clean our scalps and provides softness and shine all without the fragrance, itch, flakes and back acne. The gel gives my waves definition and keeps the frizz at bay. The face wash and body wash clean without leaving us dry or red. Also, there is no residue or smell, not even a lingering chemical one. We just smell like nothing which is what clean should smell like. Only recently did we switch from a popular brand of moisturizer with ceramides to Vanicream moisturizing lotion. Turns out the popular brand was giving us zits and blackheads and somehow also making us feel dry? Not vanicreams lotion. Our skin feels hydrated and more importantly we don't notice our skin which says it all. I also don't feel like I need "anti-aging" products anymore. I did try the vanicream face moisturizer but something in it broke me out (glyceryl stearate maybe?) but the moisturizing lotion makes my face skin look amazing so I'm cool with that. We hope to try the deodorant next too! Thank you Vanicream for caring about the health of your customers. If you keep the formulas the same we will keep buying. You really have made our lives a little easier.

Drying

I’ve been wanting to try this cleanser for a long time and I’m really disappointed. With one use it dried my face out SO BAD. I wanted to like it but it’s terrible.
