The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
Vanicream makes a facial moisturizer with SPF 30 sunscreen. The company designed it in the United States. It contains zinc oxide as the active ingredient. People with sensitive skin buy it.

The moisturizer works. That is enough.

In their words
“I picked this up just to try it and it made all my breakouts disappear and I was scared because it does feel very oily but it didn’t harm my skin it actually helped me. I have combination skin extremely sensitive and was dealing with rosacea and now my skin looks better than it has in a while. This vani thing is better than my meds. I’m not saying change it I’m just saying if you got skin problems”

“I have normal skin that is prone to hyperpigmentation, so SPF is a must. But I’m also prone to perioral dermatitis, which makes SPF difficult. Occlusion really triggers my PD, so I have to be careful not to use overly heavy products. This SPF unfortunately meets that description. It’s a very rich cream. Less than a dime sized amount covers my entire face (which isn’t enough SPF) and feels like Vas”
