Vanicream™ Gentle Facial Cleanser

Editor's Take
Plain pharmacy cleanser done right: gentle surfactants and Glycerin do the useful work, but the polymer-thickened base keeps it firmly old-guard.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 6.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 4.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 8.3 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 9.0 / 10
The Verdict
For a sensitive-skin face wash, this is the plain white T-shirt: gentle, useful, and not trying to be clever. Clean sits in the Strong band at 8.3, and sustainability is Very Good at 9, helped by the lack of sulfates and silicones. Coco-Glucoside and Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate give a soft cleanse, with Glycerin helping offset that freshly washed tightness. The trade-off is Conventional technology: Acrylates Copolymer and Disodium EDTA keep it more pharmacy-basic than modern clean standards.
