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.
