Vanicream™ Liquid Cleanser

What an amazing cleanser. I tried so many different medicated cleansers, looking for a solution for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. Finally, out of desperation, I quit everything and figured I’d “reset” with just using this gentle cleanser. My skin cleared up, to my amazement. I’ve quit using everything else since then. I use this to wash all over my body and face, and I wash my hair with it too. Please never stop making this stuff!

My dermatogist gave me a couple samples of the Free & Clear Liquid Cleanser after I had a reaction to a hair product. The first time I tried it my face felt super smooth, clean and refreshed. It removed all the dry flaky, peeling skin that I had from an itchy red rash. Nothing was removing that skin before. Especially around my eyes. I don’t know how or why it worked but I had to buy the 8oz size. Had to order it online. No stores in my area sell it. Who knew an $8 face cleanser could work better than all the other expensive brands I’ve been buying. If you have dry, sensitive skin I highly recommend you buy this. Best part is it lathers and removes my makeup. Other cleansers I’ve tried that are for dry sensitive skin don’t.

A very close friend of mine and his entire family have a complex chronic condition known as MCS, or multiple chemical sensitivity. They can’t be around any kind of harsh chemicals, fake fragrance, even as far as some spices and herbs. We’ve tried a million different things to make me less toxic for them to be around, and this is the only line of products that really works. There’s no scent, there’s no chemicals, and their entire family uses it. I was worried that, after a lifetime of using heavy, chemical laden moisturizers and showering products, that these were going to leave me feeling dried up, but it’s entirely the opposite. These leave you feeling cleaner than anything else and they’re hypoallergenic and everything about them leaves you feeling better. Couldn’t be more thankful for a product that finally let’s me go inside their house without making them sick.

Especially during the winter, my hands are prone to becoming irritated. In the past, they would crack and bleed, especially if I’d had to use antibacterial soap while traveling. Switching to this for our hand soap (and bringing it with us when we travel) has meant that for the past two winters, my hands have been fine! I do wish that the small, ‘sample’ sized travel tubes were still available, as I preferred to just put those in my pocket while traveling.

I have sensitive dry skin, I usually buy organic cleansers but they’re pricey so I turned to this product while searching for products that have excellent EWG rating and is affordable. This is it! I love using this as a morning cleanse and as a 2nd cleanse (after oil cleanse).

I have tried many products over the years for dealing with my ultra-sensitive skin. But this year I got a rash that started on my hands and just would not go away. It spread over the course of a few months to my arms, face, body and scalp. Finally, after months of seeing doctors, dermatologists and allergists, and trying everything they recommended, one allergist recommended this product. Once I switched to this liquid hand wash and the sister-products in the Free and Clear and Vanicream line (the shampoo, conditioner, face wash and moisturizing skin cream) the irritation, peeling, itch and redness on my hands and skin started disappearing. Literally within a few days my hands stopped peeling and bleeding and the redness gradually has been going away. Now after several months of using these products, my skin has returned to a healthy color and supple texture. After I had switched to these products I was finally tested for contact allergies and it turns out that I was allergic to several preservatives and fragrances that are in many other dermatologist-recommended products, even ones marketed to those with eczema and dermatitis. Like one other reviewer mentioned, it is a shame more dermatologists and doctors do not know about these products. When I discovered how well the product was working for me, I took in the information sheet to my original dermatologist on a follow up appointment. He didn’t know about the shampoos and hand wash under the “Free and Clear” label. Now he does! I hope that through word of mouth more folks discover products like these that might help them heal. We should see more products like these in pharmacies at HMOs like Kaiser, where they should be available instead of the mainstream products filled with fragrances and substances that are known allergens.

This is the best it has helped my skin the only cleanser that I could use love please don’t change a thing ?

Have recently developed skin sensitivities, reactions, etc. This cleanser is great–truly, it’s the only sensitive skin cleanser I’ve tried (of many) that causes no reaction. I’m not sure why, but my skin likes this better than the Vani-Cream facial cleanser. I do wonder why, as they are both for sensitive skin??? A Kenalog injection has worn off….itchy all over again, I’m buying the refill size and will use this all over in the shower. Not sure why I haven’t done that yet, since it’s so effective on the face! I wish the 32 oz refill size had a pump…it’d be great to have a large size for the shower.

I’ve been using this product for about 20 years. I had severe contact dermatitis and found the PSICO products through a dermatologist, I believe. They’ve been a life saver. I wouldn’t use anything else and am glad to see they’re available in some stores now.

I was the mom who reminded her children when using the bathroom: DON’T USE THE SOAP !!!!! I told them to use a lot of water, and rub their hands together really well. Sounds ew, but it was a matter of survival. This stuff solves that problem!! Tnx
