Pharmaceutical Specialties Vanicream Cleansing Bar 3.9 oz (Pack of 5)

This is the best soap. Use it for super dry skin and also the lotion. It is a barrior for dry skin.

I got this bar after an itching spell had lasted too long... I still do not know what sets my skin off, but every so often I go a good couple of weeks just being itchy - everywhere! I have changed my laundry soap, and gone to gentler cleansers and been careful around cleaning products, but I have not ever figured out exactly what it is that sets my skin into what I guess is a type of flair-up. There is not any particular redness or rash, with the exception of where I have scratched and the only thing that seems to cause an immediate reaction during one these episodes is direct sun light... it makes me feel a little like my skin is on fire and then I will get a small rash that only last a short time. I have gone through this now a few times and have finally figured out a routine that seems to stop the flair-up... I use three different products - Glyderm gentle cleanser (a face cleanser with glycolic acid meant for sensitive skin) - I use it full body and let it sit about 5 minutes to exfoliate the top layer of my skin in case the itching is being caused by an irritant that has been deposited on my skin. I then use the an anti-fungal soap called PediFix FungaSoap Liquid - it has a strong smell that might turn some off, but I use it in case I am having a mild yeast or bacterial type of reaction in my skin. I let it sit a few minutes and then rinse. I do not use antibacterial soap on a regular basis, because I have an awful time with yeast infections if I do, so my normal cleansers would not necessarily catch a bacterial skin issue. And then last, I use the Vanicream soap. It is gentle and it is able to rid my body of the scents of the stronger cleansers... it also leaves my skin feeling clean, but neither tight or slippery. It is a mild soap meant for gentle skin, but I think it has a mild scent - it does not smell perfumy at all, though. I might repeat the above process a couple of times, but then I continue my daily showers with the Vanicream. Of the cleansers meant for sensitive skin, it is the one that I prefer in terms of scent and how my skin feels afterward. Oh, and I also use a high quality calendula oil, cream or lotion after bath or before towel drying to moisturize and calm my skin. The oil alone will help the itching stop temporarily; but whatever is causing the itching does not go away until I go through the whole routine two or three times. I still have no clue what sets my skin off, but I have a pretty decent arsenal of "go-to" stuff to quickly start dealing with the situation. And in between, I use this soap and maybe the oil to keep my skin calm. The first couple of times it happened, my routine would also include a soak in RID, in case the itching was being caused by some unseen parasite, but it did absolutely nothing to stop the itching and I surmised that my itching is not due to any type of body lice or pest. Mind you, I never saw symptoms of such, but by the time you itch that long for no apparent reason; you really are ready to try anything to just make it stop.

Quality allergy free soap. On time and perfectly clean.

Great -- and it doesn't make me itch or break me out. No extra ingredients, no weird botanicals people are allergic to. Just pure and very gentle on the skin.

This was recommended by my Daughter’s allergist for eczema. I started using it as well. It dissolves fast if left in water, but on a soap dish that drains or a shower caddy (that’s what I do) it is fine. Lathers and washes good. Can use on hair too. Doesn’t irritate my skin. Good price for specialty soap. Unscented too which I needed.

It works well to control my eczema but I don't like the smell.

Having suffered from many allergies. This is one of the only bars of soap my skin doesn’t react to!

My skin has become very sensitive to the chemicals in body wash and bar soaps, all of which which use chemical fragrances and masking fragrances. A burning sensation is not what should happen when using a cleansing agent. VANICREME is all I use to wash my skin. The ample lather is creamy and luxurious and leaves my skin feeling hydrated, not itchy or stinging. PS. The barely perceptable scent of the bar is pleasant. I will be investigating Vanicreme's entire product line.

Its a great product for very sensitive skin

Ottimo prodotto, lascia la pelle delicata e soffice

I have to say , i don’t as a rule rate things i get off Amazon only the really incredible , so i’ll give a write up today this soap is incredible , i saw it mentioned by someone on a facebook page about Lichen Slerosis , and thought i’ll give that a go if i can find it , it’s lovely and leaves the skin all over feeling wonderful and i’ve tried lots of soaps even olive oils ones but this beats the lot
