    I bought this product after I heard it worked on cystic pimples. After putting the Vicks on her cystic pimple for 3 nights it was mostly gone. This pimple had been a big red spot on her face for 3 weeks. Awesome!

    Growing up my grandmother would always have this product at home. It is truly her best arsenal for everything for us her grandkids. Now that I am a mom, I have this too at home, it keeps the cold away. I have used this with my kids and it works amazingly well. Vicks Vaporub is a staple in our home.

    I swear by this stuff when i'm stuffed up! I find alot of the pills for congestion make me either nauseous or really tired, so this is a great way to skip the side-effects and still get relief. Obviously it's one of those products that limits its time of use (can't exactly be slathering this on while sitting in the office), but at night in bed or on a sick day curled up with a book, this stuff is a lifesaver.

    As much as I dont like this stuff being on me, when you have a cold and are cuper congested this is great to have! The vapors just instantly make you feel a bit better and I love that they even make baby vapo rub because there is no medication you can give them so its a comfort to know theres something you can do to comfort them.

    My daughter recently had a bad case of bronchitis. Before resorting to an antibiotic and a DR visit we tried this for a few days and nights. it worked great and was very helpful in breaking up all the mucus without having to take medications. After a few days of applying it day and night she was much better. The scent is very light

    Vicks VapoRub has been a staple in our medicine cabinet since I was a child. Mom used it on us, I used it on my son and now I've discovered yet another use for it. Besides using it for chest colds, I am finding it to be a Godsend whenever I get menopause related headaches. A quick dab of Vicks on my temples and within 1/2 hour to an hour I am symptom free! I think it has something to do with the heat warming up the blood vessels or maybe it's just that sense of security and relief that comes from the smell of Vicks. Either way, I'd highly recommend it to any woman out there suffering from cycle related headaches!

    This stuff is great for colds. I've been using it since I was a kid and I still love this stuff. I like the smell of it and I like how it feels on me. It really helps with breathing better and helps me sleep when I'm sick.
