Verified Reviewer |Cut openin bottle of vicks cold and flu
Cuts from the jar when opening it improve; the jar has two sharp corners that can cut when opened. Some people with diabetes take longer to heal from these cuts, so keep that in mind.

Good afternoon
Pleased be advised that I am writing to you with great concern and disappointment
Kindly be advised that I have purchased this product (Vaporub xtrastrong) and have been using it on my face .This caused a bad reaction to my skin and it severely damaged my skin . I have many other products to resolve this but nothing seems to have worked
This is the first time I have experienced such poor quality in a product that I have been using for many years which was the viks vapor rub
Kindly take note that I have a picture which is attached below of the marks it caused on my face
Kindly provide me with feedback and how this can be rectified
Kind Regards

Verified ReviewerCPAP Product Suggestion
- - Would buy a Vicks CPAP product to ease nighttime congestion; a wafer near the air intake and a wafer-slot inline adapter would be better.
I am not upset about any Vicks product. I would buy a Vicks product that had the familiar Vicks scent that could be used in a CPAP machine to help with nighttime congestion.
It could be a small solid wafer that would have a holder such that it would stand up near the air intake of the CPAP machine. Even better would be an in-line CPAP tube adapter that had a slot for the solid Vicks wafer to slip in.
- I love the scent and its ability to help with nasal congestion
Preferred solution: The product suggested
I just had some questions is all.
I have no issues, I grew using vicks and still do today. I'm almost 60 so for at least 50 plus years.
User's recommendation: Use Vicks
Terrible commercial
- - The ad shows two obese people with colds using DayQuil.
- - Diet is seen as more important for health; the idea should be fired.
Your DayQuil commercial has two obese people with colds and flu using It. Diet means more for health than anything.
People need to relate to your product.
Fat people using DayQuil isnt going to cut it. Whoever came up with that needs fired
User's recommendation: Don’t use unless you’re obese. That is what their commercial indicates. Omly goid for fat people

- - The product tasted cloyingly sweet and made me sick.
- - It didn't stop coughing and caused vomiting several times at night; not seeking a refund.
I used your product as per the limits and became sickened by its cloyingly sweet taste. It didn't stop me from coughing, but I did vomit several times during the night. No, I'm not looking for a refund, but you need to know this has happened.

Meds in packet (dayquil) were ruptured before the package was open. The medicine was not savable. We had to buy more while not feeling well
User's recommendation: Slightly squeeze packet before purchasing.
Angry
- - 75-year-old woman with arthritis couldn't open Vicks NyQuil.
- - She cut the plastic around the lid with scissors but still couldn't unscrew the cap.
I am a 75 year old woman with arthritis. I really needed to take your Vicks, NyQuil, cold and flu..
but of course couldnt get it open. I had a pair of scissors, and I was finally able to mingle my way through the plastic covering around the lid.. but then I pressed, and I squeeze my turn, and I did every maneuver possible and I could not get enough pressure to get the cap unscrewed.
And yes, I am pissed. That pretty much sums it up.
Vicks vapopads
- - Powder spreads on furniture, windows and furnace filters.
- - I was on oxygen 24/7; others got sick and antibiotics were used.
Puts powder all over your furniture, windows, furnace filters. I'm on oxygen 24/7 filter full of lavender powder I was breathing.
Had to be on 3 antibiotics, 3 others sick from it also. Has this been tested for ppl with lung disease?
It states on the box not to use if children are under 12. Wash hands thoroughly if touched!
User's recommendation: Do Not use
Vapo rub uses
- - 65-year-old uses Vapo rub menthol to open the nose; mom used it on the chest.
- - Direct nose use leaves it plugged; questions Vaseline base.
Im 65 years old now and I have been using the Vapo rub for the menthol to open my nose. The problem is that after a while it seems to plug up my nose and Im wondering if its the Vaseline base that is causing it or what it could be? My mom used to put it on our chests to help us to breathe better, but I just put it directly into my nose and I sound so plugged up.
User's recommendation: Be careful putting it in your nose when you’re plugged up and can’t breathe. You can always put it on your chest or under your nose.

You need to read the back of the bottle. It clearly states “Do not put near mouth or in nostrils.” It looks like you did both.
