What owners single out
Review 1's complaint about thick, sticky texture that doesn't absorb aligns with the texture inconsistency that divides buyers most.
In their words
“Absorption:Vanicream is very suitable for allergic skin. I have been using it for more than 5 years. non greasy. Good for oily, dry and sensitive skin. No smell, no colour and will not stain skin. I bought this packaging with pump. Sometimes, we can get the one without pump, but lately I see sellers do not keep such stock. As for this seller: Item came in a proper inner plastic packaging.”

“I thought maybe it might help with the eczema that I have on the back of my arms. It's moisturizing, but it feels thick on my skin. I was at a soccer game with my grandkids, and you know they speak their minds lol. Vivi hugged me and said ewww your skin is sticky. It never seeped into my skin. I would not recommend. 😕 The smell is fine. There was no itching. Just thick and sticky.”
