    A very effective product.

    About 6 months out of the year, I get a pretty painful skin rash. Looks like poison oak. Nothing, I mean nothing soothes it like Vicks. At first when someone told me to put it on my skin, I resisted thinking it would hurt. Just the opposite happened, it was soothing beyond belief. I even I put it on cracked skin. No more itch. No more pain. No more need for cortisone— otg! This is about my 30th order. Thank Goodness for Vicks!

    cold go to product

    I like to use this product when i have a cold and feeling congested, the smell is strong and works well too unclog your nose and breath better. I rub the product before bed on my chest and neck area. I does leave a sticky and greasy texture on the skin but i don’t mind that, anyways by the morning it’s pretty much gone.

    You definitely want it when youre sick

    I put it on the chest, on the feet with socks, and then carefully under my nose. I have sensitive skin, acne prone, asthma, and severe allergies. Vicks does not bother me at all and it is the best feeling in the world when you are able to breathe and have that light-cool feeling on your chest and feet.! I am not a medical professional, but in my opinion this is the best.!

    A household MUST HAVE! Always buy more before we get low

    This is one product my family has used for as long as I can remember. Growing up and would get a cold my mom or dad would instantly reach for the Vick's vaporub! I do the same with my kids! My husband uses Vicks daily honestly, he uses it for sore muscles and it works, and he also rubs a little under his nose when he's doing work with the trash company so he doesn't have to smell the nasty garbage. Vicks has many uses and is a definite must have! We have at all times 2 containers of this in our house, second we get low we always buy more, especially with 5 kids, you never know when someone will get sick and need it or have allergies and need their stuffy nose cleared up!!

    You can never go wrong with this

    When you're sick or are having sinus issues, this Vicks Vaporub really helps clear everything up. I always put a little under my nose (very little because it tends to burn a bit), and then I rub it into my chest and back. It has a cooling sensation.
    Many people may not love the strong smell it gives off, including myself, but if you're just staying at home to feel better, it doesn't really matter.

    can't be beat

    Vick's vaporub has been a staple in my cold regimen since I could walk. Pair it with the vapoinhaler and you're good as gold. I probably won't look into other options because why fix something that isn't broken?

    Remedy

    Vic's is my all time old fashioned way for help treating a cold. I rub this on my chest before bed bed and I wake up feeling like a whole new person. This product is good for vaporization, especially in the winter months.

    Helps immensely with congestion.

    Whenever anyone in our household feels congested we always reach for Vick's vapoRub. It helps immensely. We have regular Vick's for the adults and baby VapoRub for my youngest. I find it works best when you not only rub it on the chest but also if you apply a little bit near the nostrils. You breathe it in and your stuffy nose seems to be good for awhile. I find it does need to be reapplied frequently to continue being effective. It does smell bad but we'll worth it. I have even used it on my husband when he was having muscle pain in his back and we were out of tiger balm and it worked.

    it works, but I don't like the consistency

    The consistency of this Vicks is basically Vaseline, it breaks me out wherever I put it which sucks but it does help when my nose is stuffed. I prefer the Vicks vapohaler.
