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 - 11 months 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 - 7 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 - 10 months 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 - 7 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 - 1 year ago

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

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.

A gentle cleanser for everyone

My all time stable cleanser for my super sensible and pimple & eczema prone skin. No fragrance. Super gentle. I have both this and another cleanser that has salicylic acid. But this is my stable.

Reccommended by my doctor

This was recommended to me by my dermatologist after I had a flare up of periorial dermatitis. It has very few ingredients which is beneficial when trying to figure out what might be triggering a skin issue. The formula is lightweight and easy to apply and rinse off nicely. My skin doesn’t feel tight after but I do need to moisturize shortly after. I find that using this in combination with things like jojoba oil and gentle moisturizers have really helped calm my skin. I used up two free trial sizes from my derm and then purchased the largest size from target. So far so good and it’s not drying out my skin even in the colder weather. I prefer this over cetaphil which does leave my skin feeling too tight and la roche posay gentle cleanser which doesn’t feel like it cleans my skin at all, this is a good balance between cleansing and gentle.

I was using la roche posay but I was eager to try something new. I love this cleanser and have stocked up just in case ! My skin feels great but not stripped. I love a gentle cleanser as my serums and exfoliants do the heavy works. I do still double cleanse with a makeup remover first and then use this as my final cleanse . Great lather and rinses well! Please keep this around !!!

Works for my family! :)

I’ve been using La Roche-Posay for over a year now. My daughter switched to Vanicream and recommended it. This is the goat of face wash if you have sensitive skin. I love it.

Better than high end!

Genuinely love this gentle cleanser! Hands down, one of the best face washes I’ve ever used and I’ve used a LOT- skinceuticals, Sephora brands etc. this to me is better than high end. I’ve experienced no breakouts since using and I love the consistency + lather. Definitely leaves you feeling fresh and I recommend. Beauty absolutely can be on a budget.
