Free & Clear Hair Gel

"I would like to thank you for making a hair gel. I have a very sensitive scalp and I could not find anything similar to this in Canada. Once again thanks for making such a wonderful product."

"Great hold for your style. The price is good and the product is shipped quickly. I will plan to reorder."

Free & Clear Hair Spray

"This is a great hair spray for anyone wanting a firm hold whether you have sensitivities or not. I do have allergies and am so grateful to find a product I can use. I spray in the mornig and never have to touch my hair again all day! It's wonderful."

"Free and clear...that's exactly what this hair spray is all about. It holds your hairstyle. If you're allergic to fragrance and all those other additives, give this a try. It's great!!"

"With numerous allergies detected in a patch test, this is the one hair spray on the list. I am happy to say it does the job, holds nicely without being heavy. It is as pure as hairspray can be and that is a good feeling!"

Free & Clear Liquid Cleanser

"Free & Clear Cleanser is a mild, gentle liquid cleanser that removes all my makeup without drying. It is fragrance and detergent free. It rinses off easily without leaving a residue or leaving your face feeling tight and chapped."

"I love, love, your Vanilpy Ointment and Free & Clear Liquid Cleanser. The Liquid Cleanser is another perfect product I use to remove every last trace of makeup without the irritation. Thank you for delivering such wonderful products that truly are meant for sensitive skin. I thank you and so does my skin!"

"I wanted to thank you so much for making a liquid cleanser in a pump soap container that I can use to wash my hands. Yours is the only fragrance free pump soap out there, and every other liquid cleanser would give me a rash because of the fragrance. Thanks so so much for your great products!!"

"This cleanser is just what it says..."free & clear". It has nothing that will irritate your skin. It's free of additives and fragrance, which is GREAT for very sensitive skin. The pump makes it easy to use, so I have one at every sink in my house. It also comes in a 32 oz. refill bottle."

Free & Clear Shampoo & Conditioner

"I have been using this product for about 3 years since I discovered I have sensitivities to numerous product ingredients. Since starting to use the shampoo (as well as conditioner and face products that are also free of many harsh ingredients) I no longer have problems with eczema. It's not a 'fun' shampoo, but it does the job and leaves my hair feeling clean."

"Love the shampoo and conditioner! Chemically treated, blown out and flat ironed hair has never felt healthier after only one use! I have spent thousands of dollars trying to find hair products that will allow me to grow old without looking it. Without a doubt, hands down the best product I have used in over a decade. Thank you for helping me look my best."

"This fragrance free shampoo has been a life saver! I have recently developed a greater sensitivity to chemicals, including fragrance and dyes. I got to the point where the skin on my neck and behind my ears would itch after I washed my hair and even after my hair was dried. Free & Clear Shampoo lathers and cleans my hair well and it does not leave my skin itchy afterwards."

"This fragrance free conditioner is wonderful to use after Free & Clear Shampoo. It leaves my hair soft and does not irritate my sensitive skin."

"I have been using your products for one year and am so happy that my skin is not irritated. I even take my shampoo, styling gel and spray to the hairdressers when I need a haircut. Several other ladies were having the same problem and I told them about your products, which they used, and one lady is cleared up completely. Also, Dr. Morgan recommended that I bathe my dogs using the shampoo and it works great. I have miniature schnauzers who don't shed but need to be bathed every week. I even take the shampoo to the groomer. Their haircoat is much softer because of the shampoo and I don't break out in a rash when I bathe them! Just thought you would want to know."

"Because it has no additives such as perfumes, dyes, etc., it leaves no residue on the scalp and allows for quicker healing after treatment by my dermatologist."

"I am allergic to all products on the market, and I finally found this one that works! I am so happy to have found this product!"

"Don't want to use anything else on my baby's scalp. The other scented shampoos gave them cradle cap."

"I am very pleased with Free & Clear Conditioner. The packaging is attractive and slightly different from the Free & Clear Shampoo so you won't accidentally "Wash, rinse, wash, rinse, wash (oops), condition... you know what I mean. The conditioner works as well as anything else I've tried but has a lighter feel- must be because they took out the stuff that makes me break out!"

RoBathol Bath Oil

"The only bath oil that keeps overly sensitive skin from breaking out with scaly itchy patches. Good for anyone with severe skin allergies."

"Great product for kids with dry skin and eczema. Capful or two into daily bath works great to keep skin moist. I liked that it didn't have any unnecessary ingredients and was recommended by our doctor."

"I am a 26 year old who has suffered from severe eczema for my entire life. The itchiness of my skin, especially during winter, has gotten much worse in recent years. Robathol is the only thing that relieves these symptoms. I am so grateful for your product. Please know that your company and its employees have truly made a positive difference in the quality of my life. Thanks again."

"Lasting, effective, odor-free, moisturizing. The product cost is quite reasonable compared to other brands of odor-free bath oil that I've tried."

"Love this product. Before putting it in my kids' baths, they would get frequent eczema outbreaks. If I run out of the product or stop using it for a few days, the eczema is back. I had a friend whose baby had bad eczema. She was at my house for the weekend and used it for her daughter's baths. By the time they got home, the eczema had lessened substantially."

"This cottonseed oil has no scent, so it doesn't compete with fragrances and it's not offensive. With continued use, I have less itching on a daily basis. If I run out, I notice after 2-3 days."

"I tried RoBathol Bath Oil for my dry skin on the advice of my dermatologist. It definitely helped. There wasn't anything I didn't like about it, but had to be careful not to slip in the tub."

Vanicream Cleansing Bar

"Vanicream cleansing bar is the best soap I have ever used. I have Psoriasis and since I have been using your cleansing bar, my skin has been so much better. Thanks you."

"Bought your bar soap at Walgreens because I didn't have a cetaphil coupon. What a wonderful discovery on my part. The bar soap is fantastic!! Much nicer on my skin than cetaphil. Keep up the good work."

"I just picked this up in a pharmacy because my skin is dry from the cold weather on top of having super sensitive skin! I have to say it's the best soap I've ever used!"

"I've been using Vanicream soap for over 7 years. My dermatologist suggested this soap to me eons ago, and my household has used it ever since. It doesn't leave a film, keeps my skin moist, and never triggers my eczema. The product has no scent, which is brilliant."

"After searching for a product line that would be kind to my sensitive skin, I came across Vanicream soap. I fell in love with it instantly. It leaves my skin feeling great and un-irritated. I now use the entire line of products, including the sunscreen, which is by far the best sunscreen I have ever used, no greasy mess that burns or irritates my skin. I have my whole family loving these products. These products are wonderful. Thank You"

"I would like to say that I love your products. My 3 year old has had horrible eczema, and it wasn't until about 8 months ago that I found a doctor who recommended your lotion. Within one day I noticed a difference in my son's skin. We cannot live without the soap or the lotion! The sunscreen is a miracle as every summer we would battle the breakouts associated with other sunscreens, and we tried every brand!. I have and will continue to recommend your products!"

"The soap leaves my skin feeling very clean without a dry feeling like so many other soaps do. I will certainly buy this soap again."

"I have a job that is very hard on my skin and up until recently you could really tell. It was embarrassing, first of all, and expensive trying to get help from the dermatologist. I switched to Vanicream Cleansing Bar exclusively and my skin is finally healthy again. It lasts a long time, so I feel like I am getting my money's worth when I buy Vanicream Cleansing Bar. And it's sure a lot cheaper than treatments at the dermatologist!"

Vanicream Lite Lotion

"I have been searching for a good, clean, light-weight lotion for a long time. I have eczema and your Vanicream lotion has helped a lot! Thanks so much!"

"The light cream worked great for our toddler with eczema. I am thrilled to find something that is effective and makes him happy."

Vanicream Shave Cream

"The shave cream is hands down the best new product I've purchased in a long time! I had the best shave of my life this weekend -- no red bumps or irritation afterwards. Just soft, smooth legs. My boyfriend also loves it for his face, and swears it gave him the closest shave ever."

"I have a skin condition and have to use this product. It really does not lather but is like a cream, however, it does the trick when I shave my legs. My legs are very smooth after shaving with it, and it does not burn or irritate my skin."

"The product gives a thick lather, but you have to use a lot if you're putting it over a large area, like your legs. The product did not irritate my sensitive skin and helped to prevent rashes & knicks from shaving."

"The best overall shave cream for overly sensitive skin and for anyone who suffers from dry scaly red patchy skin."

"Best shaving cream by far have ever used. Softest my legs have ever been after shaving which I attribute to the lack of "irritating ingredients" that are in other products."

Vanicream Skin Cream

"My mother-in-law recommended Vanicream for my daughter's eczema and it does not irritate my daughter's skin and has restored it's softness and smoothness! We LOVE VANICREAM and recommend it to all of our friends!"

"I am a 24 year old man suffering from severe atopic dermatitis. After being diagnosed as an infant I have undergone years of treatment and several different creams, lotions, and ointments to try and keep my condition under control. Vanicream has been one constant remedy that has always worked for me. I use it daily and don't know what I'd do without it. Thank you so much for creating a product that has helped me so much."

"I use this lotion on my children who suffer from eczema. It leaves their skin very soft. I also love the fact that it comes with a pump."

"I was born with a rare genetic condition, Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria, and have used sunscreen and sun avoidance all my life to try and avoid painful reactions. I've tried just about every sunscreen you can buy and have had the worst time with all of them. A dermatologist during a student clinic recommended Vanicream and it's been amazing. It goes on so great, no smell and best of all when i'm wearing it I do not get painful reactions to the sun."

"FINALLY, a body moisturizer that isn't expensive, sinks in and really gives winter skin a makeover, AND is paraben-free (no sulfates or other bad stuff either). It works. Not greasy, absorbs fast, and doesn't stain anything. I WAS using CeraVe until I read the ingredients ... uh-oh."

"I wanted to upload before and after pictures to you all of my hands! I have been dealing with a skin problem for the last 4-5 years and I have been from dermatologist to dermatologist to no avail. Then 6 weeks ago this past Tuesday, I went to my hairdresser and she told me to go to the store to buy Vanicream. Within a week my hands began to clear up and now, 6 weeks later, my hands feel so soft and look so much better because of your product! I tell everybody to go buy Vanicream! I even began using the bar soap in the shower and at my sink in addition to the lotion. Thank you so much for such a great product! I can't brag on the product enough!"

"I have had major skin problems for the last 6 months, and no matter what we tried nothing was working. I have used Vanicream now for almost a week and my hands have quit itching, and my eczema has almost completely cleared up. I only use the lotion two times a day. I would just like to thank you for this amazing product. We pick it up at the pharmacy at our local WalMart. Again thank you so so much."

"I tried your Vanicream for the first time after my eczema flared up really bad recently. I had nothing to put on my skin because I'm afraid to try different lotions on my skin that may cause more damage. But the Vanicream is amazing. I love it. I'm waiting to pick up my prescribed medication for my skin. It's the weekend and normally I would be suffering with dry itchy skin, but Vanicream has saved my life, and skin in the meantime. Thank You."

"I am 60 years old and have had a problem with painful, bleeding cracks on my fingertips since I was in my twenties. I have tried everything on the market but never got any relief until I used your product. Vanicream is fantastic. Since I have been using it, I have not experienced one crack and in winter too. I just wanted to thank you for making a product that has cured a nearly 40 year-old problem. Thank you and I m telling everyone how great your product is!"

"I just want to say that I have suffered with cracked heels all my adult life. I am now 51. My friend gave me a jar of Vanicream for Christmas, and I have been using it every night. I now have no cracks in my heels. I showed my client, who is a foot doctor, and even he was impressed. I love love love it!!!!!!"

"I have tried MANY other creams, and this is the ONLY one that does not irritate my skin. I have eczema on my legs and hands and this cream is wonderful! I recommended it to my sister and brother-in-law, and they both use it along with the soap. I really love it and hope you never quit making it!!! No need to contact me, just wanted to let you know what a wonderful product it is."

"I have recently been told to try Vanicream lotion for my sensitive skin. I had an awful allergic reaction and my facial skin was almost raw and burned with everything I tried for more than 6 months. Vanicream has been a life- saver and is soooo wonderful, even for on the face. I'm telling everyone I know about it. Thank you all for such a wonderful product. A grateful, thankful, life-long user from here on."

"I am taking Tarceva which causes severely dry skin in my case. Just wanted to let you know that your product did a better job than my expensive face creams! I am so happy my pharmacist recommended it. A bonus is Vanicream also is doing a better job on my wrinkles!"

"This moisturizing cream was recommended by my esthetician, who knows how sensitive I am to fragrances and other chemicals. We are both very pleased with how my skin looks. Thank you, Vanicream!"

"Vanicream moisturizing skin cream is free of all additives, including fragrance. It absorbs quickly, and does not leave a sticky residue. It can be applied all over, even the face. I love the pump bottle. This product really works."

"I just wanted to let you know that Vanicream has literally changed my life. A friend of mine, who is a Dermatologist, introduced me to Vanicream a couple of years ago. I have suffered from eczema most of my life since I was 2 years old, and I have tried every regimen and lotion imaginable. Vanicream is the first cream I have found that truly moisturizes all day long. It is also the only cream I can put on my skin when dry that does not cause a burning sensation. It seems more and more children are being diagnosed with eczema these days, and I recommend Vanicream to all my friends and their children! For some reason, a lot of the physicians in our area aren't as familiar with your product. Thank you for creating a product that has given long-time sufferers of eczema the relief we have been searching for!"

Vanicream Sunscreen SPF 30 and SPF 50+

"I just tried your new SPF50+. It spreads easily and is not whitening, much better than the old formula!"

"I love your new sunscreens and that they are water resistant."

Vanicream Sunscreen Sport SPF 35

"I love your new sunscreens and that they are water resistant."

Vaniply Ointment

"I love, love, your Vanilpy Ointment and Free & Clear Liquid Cleanser. The ointment saved my dry and dehydrated skin. I recently had a small patch of eczema above my eye and this truly helped my recovery. Thank you! It worked so well there I also tried it on my face. Totally sold. I gave up my $50 face cream and this out performs in every category. I have super sensitive intolerant skin and this has been everything I've been looking for to help my skin. It just melts perfectly into skin without the heavy, greasy, feel most ointments deliver."

"I get really dry, itchy skin in the winter now that I'm older and this product is very good at locking in the moisture. I've tried the Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, which is also good, but for VERY itchy skin, I think the Vaniply Ointment is better."

"I've tried about 5 different products from this company and haven't been disappointed with any of them. I have a problem with itchy, dry skin in the winter months and I've found that using the Vanicream Cleansing Bar during my showers and following up with an application of the Vaniply Ointment has really helped me with this problem. I think I'll be buying both products every winter from now on."

"Vaniply has changed my dry, chapped lips into soft and moisturized lips. Thanks for another great product."

"I am thrilled with the results I am getting with your Vaniply ointment. I use it as a daily and nightly moisturizer/skin barrier and it has really transformed my extremely sensitive skin, which has rosacea, although you would never know it now! I use many of your products, but the combination of the liquid cleanser and Vaniply has reduced the redness and spots most drastically. Thanks for all your great products."

Vitec Vitamin E Lotion

"Your products are GREAT! I have extremely sensitive skin, chronic hives and eczema and these products are the only thing I can use. I just tried the Vitec lotion and I like it even better than the Vanicream! I only wish it came in a larger tube or better yet, a 16 oz tub like the Vanicream cream. Please keep making all of your products. I'll keep you in business myself if I have to! Thanks again keep up the good work!!!"
