I know several of you have used vanicream. How did you like it? I bought it today out on a limb but am waiting to use it as I just washed yesterday. I got it at Walgreens and there was only one type regular but I find out later there is a dandruff one but much harder to find at the store. Maybe it's a good thing since it has zinc p and I was to see if my scalp will do better with out. I've been using Head and Shoulders Bare but am still looking for something better as I still have itchy scalp… read more

Thanks Mary, my skin is dry but I haven't needed a prescription strength for my moisturizer. I do like the Bare . My hair seems to like it the best out of what I've tried even prescription wise, however still itchy and burning so was looking for something different to try with the Vanicream. We shall see how it goes. I've only used it once and it was ok I know it can take a while and it's not really any worse than with the Bare so here's to hoping.

Hi Donna, I responded on our feed of posts to see how you were doing. It's good to hear from you. I like it better than anything I've tried so far. It does seem a little greasy maybe but so have other shampoos al either that or it's really making my hair shine. I don't have like oil or grease necessarily when I touch it it just kind of looks like it and I know sometimes shininess can appear to look like grease. I only got the shampoo, I heard that the conditioner can be rather drying and I have other conditioner I'm using now. I got it at Walgreens, but I discovered not every one has it I went to a nearby one as mine I go to didn't have it when I checked. You can also get at Amazon and some CVS pharmacies.and Walmart but I'm only seeing ofr delivery in my area. It's a little difficult to find but just search those stores for in your area or get off of Amazon. My head feels a lot less itchy. Sure I still have some but I've only been usin git for a couple weeks. I use the original clean and clear not for dandrull and it's sulfate, dye, fragerance etc. free. Give it a try.

Yohanmartinez- actually I checked the ingredients and Vanicream shampoo does not have petroleum in it neither does the conditioner but I only got the shampoo...you may be thinking of the lotion or face cream.

Thanks Mary. I think I remember you telling me you liked it. I wasn't sure if you were still using it in rotation. Do you use the clean and clear one with out zinc p in it? I just tried it tonight and so far it isn't bad. Seemed like my hair took longer to dry though. I'm not sure why.. we will see how it feels tomorrow. I figured worth a try with no fragrance, sulfates, dyes or silicones. Head and Shoulders Bare similar except it has fragrance added and zinc p. Also has a couple less ingredients in Bare but that doesn't mean anything. All it takes is one ingredient.to irrated your scalp. What's your favorite to go to shampoo?
