Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

Five ceramides work to rebuild the skin barrier by acting as the glue that holds skin cells together, and gurus who tested it found the thick cream applies smoothly and hydrates effectively, especially through dry seasons. The fragrance-free formula and minimal ingredient list make it a strong pick for sensitive skin, and the pump bottle and generous size offer real value at around 18 dollars. One thing to keep in mind: applying a hydrating serum to damp skin before the moisturizer can boost results for very dry areas.

"I mean, I was praising Vanicream at the American Academy of Dermatology. They've done such a great job with this product. [...] It feels nice. Even my social media manager, Olivia, she was just like, "This is my new favorite moisturizer." So, I have to agree that this was a home run for them. You can use it for your kids, for your adults, you can use it for yourselves and for your kids. So, big thumbs up. I'm so glad they added this to their line."

"I've been using it in my evening routine. When I get out of the shower, I apply a hyaluronic serum on my body when my skin's still damp. I will mist my face to keep that hydrated and keep it not getting too dry. And then I'll apply my moisturizer and then I go on to my skincare routine. But my body gets super dry, especially this time of year when the furnace is running constantly and it's cold and it's dry outside. This stuff is nice. No scent to it. Pretty affordable."

"Vanicream released their Enhanced Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides. It's 18 bucks, comes in a big bottle, and it looks like a pretty simple formula with glycerin, ceramides, and sodium hyaluronate. It's at Ulta for 18 bucks. [...] I'm very picky about my moisturizers right now, and I'm loving this one though. [...] I'm really loving this one."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
