Good, irritant-free face wash, decent lather
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
So far so good. My dermatologist recommended this brand as a daily skincare routine, and I think I’ll be using it from now on. I had been using CeraVe for quite some time, and it seemed to work okay, but I like the lather VANICREAM provides. It results in a cleaner feel even if it is a placebo effect. I also prefer the irritant-free formula just because it puts my mind at ease using something without unnecessary ingredients, not because I absolutely need it. Side note: My doc recommended this during a perioral dermatitis flare-up caused by medication. The CeraVe was potentially irritating my skin even more at the time. Otherwise, I would’ve just continued using the CeraVe. This appears to be good for extremely sensitive skin, including dermatitis and acne flares.

Fragrance free, extremely gentle yet effective!!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Fantastic for my sensitive, acne prone aging skin. It is dramatically improving my skin barrier and has limited my skin congestion without causing skin irritation. Completely fragrance free!!
