Answered Questions (4)

Does this suds/foam or nothing?

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is formulated to produce a light lather upon application to effectively cleanse while preserving your skin’s natural moisture barrier. We hope this is helpful!

I have combination skin I was told u have too use gel cleanser is that tru is this ok too use

You may use either a gentle facial cleanser or gel cleanser depending on your specific skin type. Many combination skin types choose to use a gel cleanser in the summer and a gentle cleanser in the drier, colder months.

why is there sunscreen in a face wash?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Titanium Dioxide in Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is not intended for sun protection and doesn't give the product an SPF rating. It's there more for its other properties, like soothing and thickening, rather than to block UV rays. You’ll still need a separate sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

Is it safe to use the gentle facial cleanser to remove eye makeup with including eye liner and waterproof mascara? It would be nice to just use one product that is gentle and safe for all facial makeup removal.

Yes, Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is a gentle, non-irritating option suitable for removing eye makeup, including waterproof mascara. Its mild, soap-free formula is designed for sensitive skin and effectively cleanses without stripping or causing irritation .​

Vanicream Facial Cleanser

I started using this after a nasty attempt at Retin A. It’s super gentle but cleanses the face well. My daughters have acne prone skin and have started using it as well. Super affordable and a great product !

Simple and affordable

The best simple easy cost effective gentle cleanser on the market. I have tried so many cleansers and this is by far the best Dr a simple gentle cleanser. It cleans my face and even takes my makeup off. Don’t spend your money on the more expensive brands. This won’t steer you wrong.

Good everyday cleanser

I’ve been using this for several months now and I really like it as an everyday, twice a day cleanser. I think it’s better than the gentle cleanser brands I’ve tried in the past. Cleans my skin without drying it out.

Great cleanser

This is as good as the more expensive brands and it’s gentle on the skin and cleans all traces of any makeup with one wash.

Very good, gentle cleanser

I have used Vanicream Gentle facial cleanser for years, on the recommendation of my dermatologist. It has been a permanent part of my cleansing routine for my sensitive skin.

Like this as a first wash to remove makeup.

I use this to remove makeup before using my Obagi Cleanser. Works great for this purpose and is a good price.

Vanicream facial cleanser

I’ve been having an extreme facial dermatitis episode. I have been using the cleanser to wash my face. It is very gentle, causes no tightness or dryness and just feels good. I would recommend this product to anyone having the same problem

Loyal User

I have purchased this facial cleanser many times over the last few years. It is very gentle yet effective enough to clean the face without stripping the skin. It has a nice, light foam consistency and is concentrated so a little goes a long way. Other foaming cleansers I have tried left my skin feeling dry but this one just leaves me feeling clean and balanced. Excellent price point too!

Vanicream facial cleanser

Have been using this cleanser and it works well, especially for sensitive skin and those that want to avoid some harsh chemicals. Convenient pump bottle with no mess like bar soap creates. No strong smell, and doesn't sting / irritate.

Good cleanser

This is a cleanser I always have on hand for dry, sensitive skin. It doesn’t remove makeup well but nourishes skin already cleansed- minus one star for that

Gentle for post-procedure

This is my go-to cleanser after getting Aerolase, microneedling, and peels. It is super gentle and doesn't leave a filmy feeling after I rinse my face.

On Every derm's tik tok

I have always had very oily and acne prone skin and before making clear skin a goal of mine this year and really educating myself I stayed away from anything gentle. I wanted everything I used to be acne targeted and oil free which probably had the reversed effect. Ever since trying this cleanser back in February I notice a difference in my skin. It's hydrated but not oily and the breakouts have cleared. I recommend this to anyone!

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

I had been using Purity Cleanser for 20+ years, but something changed. So I read the reviews on this Vanicream cleanser and thought I’d try it. I was not disappointed at all. It takes off makeup and sunscreen without making my skin feel stripped.
