The formula has definitely been changed. It doesn’t smell the same and is not potent anymore. Pretty much just Vaseline and did not open my nasal passages at all. Disappointing because this used to be so helpful in the past.

I purchased Vicks vapor rub and the inhaler and they both smelled like the off brand, freaking horrible. And this isn't the first time. I actually would like my funds back. This used to be a good brand to use. You know the saying "Ain't no school like the old school." Buuuttt i don't know. I mean what's really going on.

I bought some Vicks to help with my cold, and sore throat. My mom used to use Vicks on me as a kid whenever we got sick. This product has been around for over 40 years, and yet it still works just as well now as it did during my childhood. It's a great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I stand by Vicks brand. My mom used it, her mom used it, and now I'm using it. Rub this product on your chest to help with coughing. I also like to put a little on my lip under my nose with what's left on my hand after wiping my chest because it smells so good. This product is as reliable for me as it was for my grandmother. It smells wonderful and is very soothing for those coughing fits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this item a few weeks ago, and at the perfect timing while the entire family had a bug going through the house. I used the product myself and on the kids. No skin reactions, just beautiful relief. The only downside that I have to say, is that the smell is very strong, so everyone around you knows that you are using this item.
Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great to use at night when the cough is making it hard to sleep at night. Just rub a little on your chest and provides all the relief you need. This product is amazing and i was surprised at how well it worked. I used this on my older kids as well and they loved how much relief it gave them so quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vicks VapoRub has been a staple in my household for years. Containing menthol and eucalyptus, it goes to work fast on relieving cough and cold symptoms. I also like that it really works on soothing aching joints and muscles. I highly recommend every household have this on hand, especially during cold and flu season.
