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 - 4 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 - 3 months agoA: 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 - 17 days agoA: 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 - 7 years ago
A: I would definitely consider this a foaming cleaner. It makes the clean feel nice and deep.
submitted byRaaychel890 - 5 months agoA: It does become foamy.
submitted bybezen - 7 years agoA: 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 - 11 months ago
A: We don’t know how to answer this, as the pump is not conducive, nor is there a product question here.
submitted byVanicream Skin Care - 11 months agoBrand expert
Q: Can you please remove MICA from this cleanser? It's not needed in a cleanser, irritates skin.
submitted by Tcustomer - 2 years ago
A: Thank you for your comments. We will share them with our formulating team.
submitted byVanicream Skin Care - 2 years agoBrand expert
Q: Can this cleanser remove waterproof sunscreen?
submitted by Alana - 5 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 - 5 years agoA: 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.
submitted byVanicream Skin Care - 5 years agoBrand expert
Q: Is this cleanser cruelty free?
submitted by Sylla - 5 years ago
A: Pharmaceutical Specialties Inc. does not test our products on animals.
submitted byVanicream Skin Care - 5 years agoBrand expertA: 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.

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

Q: so in everything that I've read it appears that the other gentle cleanser is more natural. Meaning less synthetics and all the bad stuff. You know what it is.
submitted by Crazyhorse1980 - 2 months ago
A: Hi there! Vanicream Cleanser is certified Target Clean, paraben free, sulfate free, dye free, sensitive skin friendly, dermatologist tested, comedogenic, etc.! We thank you for your interest.
submitted byTarget Brand Expert - 1 month ago
Q: Is this face wash foamy?
submitted by Targetgirl - 2 months ago
A: There are some suds that form when used with water. But to answer your question about being “foamy” is hard because that is kind of a subjective word. If you are looking for a very gentle, yet effective facial cleanser - Vanicream Gwntle Facial Cleanser is what you are looking for.

Greys r me - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this because my Olay cleanser was discontinued. This was recommended as gentle and good for sensitive/rosacea skin. I used it once and it felt like my skin was burning. I woke up the next morning and my skin was red, itchy, and covered in white bumps/pustules. I’ve never had such a strong reaction to any skin product.

Definitely not for my sensitive skin! I read many reviews on this brand and because it is recommended by dermatologist and people who have sensitive skin I thought I would try this. This stuff is the worst of the worst. Caused skin problems to flair up even worse.

I have dry to very dry skin and this cleanser made my face and hands feel much worse. I did not find it hydrating at all. I appreciated that it had no scent and came with a pump. I will stick with my Elta and Kiehls face washes.
Not a gentle facewash

Dani - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Saw so many great reviews and thought I’d give this a try, but was disappointed. Face wash says gentle but it is NOT gentle enough for sensitive skin. My face is so dry to the point of seeing dry patches on my face with makeup on and it burns after using and moisturizing.
Amazing.

Lo - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have very sensitive, often dry, itchy skin. I'm also prone to acne. This face wash has improved my overall skin health. I have tried SO MANY face washes, from department store products, prescription products, organic products, and otc/generic products. This is my forever facewash. Doesn't make me oily, doesn't dry out my skin, and my face feels fresh all day. I use first thing in the morning and before bed (paired with Vanicream moisturizing cream). I am also very sensitive to scents, and this does not bother me at all.

Great for senstive skin - 2 months ago
I finally found a cleanser that works for my face . I have oily and sensitive skin , so anything that touches my face causes me to break out . I started using this and my face feels so clean and no breakouts . Very gentle on the skin.

Strollmama - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I wanted to love this. I do a lot of research before I introduce a product and then I carefully monitor for the affects of it. Pros: just the right level of cleansing (left me clean but not tight skin). Cons: literally everything else. I only used this ONCE and couldn't sleep due to the extreme itching. My mild rosacea is angry, and I had a mild cystic acne breakout (I've been acne free for years). My best guess is it's the Mica in the ingredients.

Jes - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This cleanser is marketed as gentle but it seemed to make my skin super dry over the cheek area, and sometimes it burned. Limited the use of it over my cheeks, but my forehead had some tightness after using, even with regular moisturizing. Wouldn’t buy again.

This absolutely wrecked my moisture barrier making everything including water sting and burn. I don't understand how this can be considered gentle whatsoever.

Wow! Who knew my previous cleanser was making me break out. I am very prone to acne but I noticed less clogged pores and my face smoother. I used to microdermabrasion to make my face feel less clogged and congested but this cleanser has helped so much. I also use it to remove my make up and it helps, I recommend!!

I have very sensitive skin and was having a problem with my face products. My allergist suggested I try the Vanicream line. There are no preservatives in their products and they work great. I currently use their whole line and no problems. The cost is much more reasonable than my past products as well!

I love the way this foams up! I was using La roche before it’s okay very gentle kinda felt like I was putting lotion on my face. But this one has a thicker luxurious feel to it!

I hoped this would be my forever facewash but this was very bad for my skin. I used this with the moisturizer and regrettably reversed all the hard work I put in trying to maintain my skin for the past few years. I'm incredibly upset about it. May work for some but not for me.
Great for all skin types
