Q: Does this help with itching? I have eczema prone skin and lots of itching. Have tried all the eczema creams and they don't do much.

submitted by ellicom - 3 years ago
  • A: For specific skin care questions, it is always important to consult your dermatologist or health care professional. Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment is a heavy duty moisturizer that is formulated without common chemical irritants for those with sensitive dry to extra dry skin. Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment does this without a greasy feel.

Q: Does this tub come sealed? Mine did not come sealed and I'm hesitant to use it. The vanicream moisturizing cream always comes sealed.

submitted by Pebblez - 3 years ago

Q: What is the difference between the ointment and the moisturizer for sensitive skin?

submitted by sbortnick - 3 years ago
  • A: They are both great moisturizers. Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment is uniquely formulated for those with dry to extra dry sensitive skin to provide intense moisturizing without a heavy, greasy feel. Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores). Spreads easily and smoothly. Has no preservatives, botanical extracts, or essential oils. So it is going to be a more intense moisturizer. Vanicream Moisturizing Cream is formulated for those with sensitive skin, is non-greasy, easy to spread, and quickly absorbed. Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores). Contains no botanical extracts or essential oils.

BURNT?

Laura - 2 months ago
Was excited to try this, but it arrived BURNT?! It literally smells like smoke and the protective seal is full of ash. I have no idea what could have caused this. I thankfully have a replacement coming from target, but this was incredibly alarming.

best thing ever - 9 months ago
i have rosacea, acne prone skin and probably the driest skin ever on my checks i'm always on the hunt to find a "perfect" skin care product but many i have tried have made me break out in rashes, do nothing, or make my skin drier/break out. i had almost lost hope untill i discovered vanicream. make sure when you use this product you pair it with the vanicream moisturizer incase it reacts badly with other skincare ingredients like certain acids. but OMG my skin is glowing, moutrizied and looks so so healthy. doesn't break me out either. (not sponsoring) but please invest in this!

Good for stubborn eczema!

LC - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have stubborn eczema and I’ve found this to be super helpful - but make sure to first soak a washcloth in cold water and let it sit on the affected area for a bit. Let it air dry, then apply the Vanicream to lock the moister in. Made a huge difference for me! As a bonus, you can use this on your lips at night as a mask. Although it doesn’t have a cute scent, it works better than the expensive colorful brand everyone is obsessed with. The picture is 10 days apart.

CURED my baby’s eczema

5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Katie - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
I very rarely write reviews- but this product is a holy grail for eczema and parents with children struggling with eczema need to know about this. My baby has struggled with dry skin since birth. By the time she was three months old, her skin was no longer just dry. She was suffering with eczema and it would get worse by the day until eventually it was severe. It was from head to toe, bright red sandpaper. I took her to her doctor and she recommended frequent baths without soap (about every other day) and then to slather her in aquaphor. Now, the frequent soap-less baths did seem to help. The aquaphor also helped a little bit, however it was temporary relief and I had to slather her multiple times a day. The aquaphor was worn off by the next diaper change, and sometimes I didn’t really notice a difference in her skin at all. The results were minimal at best. I did this for weeks without any noticeable results. So, I started doing some research and came across Vanicream products. I purchased the lotion and this healing ointment. Figured I’d give it a go since I had read good things and the aquaphor wasn’t cutting it. I can’t speak to the baby formulated lotion- I didn’t know it existed until I had already purchased the regular one. However, the ingredients are gentle and safe for baby, so I really see no issue using it as opposed to the baby formulation. MY DAUGHTER’S SKIN CLEARED IN ONE DAY. She went from SEVERE eczema to NOTHING by the next day. I was in absolute shock. I had given her a bath, slathered on the lotion and topped off with this ointment from head to toe, and by the next day it was all gone. Completely. It’s been about a week since then and I have been applying the lotion daily and the ointment on areas that seem to be getting a bit dry. She has not had one eczema patch since. Do yourself a favor and buy the lotion and this ointment if you or your child suffer from eczema. Highly, highly recommended.

Really 5 stars but shipping mishap -1 star

Cstarburst - 11 months ago
So the ointment itself is 5 stars. My daughter has atopic dermitus and very sensitive skin. Most creams, lotions and ointments really sting or just make the situation worse. Only real downside of this product is that it is expensive (most of these kind of products for people with eczama are generally expensive in all fairness) and not available in store. The issue I had was with shipping. When I received said product of the two containers I received, one had the Target tape used to seal the lid to secure during shipping was obviously removed and not retaped. The lid was put back on and it does appear that while a little bit of the product did co.e out(box was a little greasy on the inside) it does not look like it was used or touched on the inside. The other container was fine.

Ointment - non irritating

Jojo - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
If your skin is irritated by most every lotion or eczema product, or the texture of lotion is bothering your kiddo, you could try this ointment. We often use it alone on really dry irritated eczema patches, or sometimes on top of another product. It never stings and doesn’t irritate. Seems to hold in moisture but doesn’t actually moisturize. So a good barrier ointment!

As a companion to lighter duty creams, the thicker consistency of this ointment is great for overnight (or all day if you don't mind the glossy look) for keeping dry skin patches moist.

Packaging protection could be better

4 out of 5 stars
Mommy1 - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This seems like it may work for my very dry hands and feet. The only reason I knocked a star off is it came without any safety seal on the outside or the inside of the lid. It had a couple flecks in it on top, but looked like it could have been from factory packing. It’s a little unappealing to use a product all over your body when there’s even any doubt about it being touched by someone else.

I had tried Vaseline in the past, for my lips and face (during the colder seasons), and it was alright. Hated the sticky and greasy feeling. But hold and behold, when I saw this...I had to get it! Love of how smooth it feels, it actually locks in/gives the moisturizer thelat my lips & face needs, multiple purpose uses (so not much extra money to spend on separate products), and also it doesn't leave a greasy or sticky feeling. I highly recommend this product, and please Target...keep this one more in stores and online!!

This is the only ointment my son will use. It does not sting, it’s not sticky or irritating like so many others. I wish it was carried in stores, my son has severe eczema and extremely dry skin; this helps to lock in moisture.
