    Good, but I wish it worked better

    I always found that Vicks works on the onset of a cold, and towards the very end. It gives you just enough of a menthol kick to open up your sinuses so that you can breathe well enough to have a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, when my full-blown colds are at their very worst, it doesn't even come close to making a difference in my breathing. Not a bad remedy, altogether, but my colds require a much bigger kick in the butt.

    It's been years since I've used the vapor rub but it was a key staple in our household growing up. I've managed to catch a bad cold and decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed was that the jar is a lot smaller than what I remember. Maybe it was just the size available at the time? But it's a 50g jar.

    Upon first sniff, it seems different....not as strong. I've been lathering my chest and shoulders in it. The product absorbs well enough, doesn't remain greasy, and leaves a cool sensation.

    I'm not wild about this product. I'll use up what I have but I won't be buying it in the future.

    It doesn't work for me even though I buy it each time with the hope that it will. Also, I dislike the way it smells.
