    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.

    Staple in our home. Grew up with it and use it all the time at first sign of sore throat, plugged nose or cough. Works like a charm! Thanks mom lol. I have recently learned of new uses for vapo rub but haven't tried them yet.

    This has helped me so much in the past to relieve sores, dry and stuffy noses and colds! My grandfather always used to wear some at night so I called him the Vicks man.

    Déjà petite notre famille utilisait le Vicks pour les gros rhumes. Aujourd'hui encore, il m'arrive souvent de l'utiliser l'hiver surtout, sous les pieds avec des chaussons, pour me réchauffer s'il y a eu un refroidissement.

    I have try many other products that make claims to be as effective as this, but have always returned to use again. Nothing has came even close to reliving symptoms of decongestion.

    Works amazing, I remember using this as a child. Goes on easy and helps with sore throats, stuffy nose, congestion.
    An old classic remedy that has been around for years. This product is always in my house. I love the smell of it and feel at ease when i apply it when Im sick.

    I used to be addicted to this stuff and I would put it under my nose every night. It just made me feel so much better and I could breathe good. It is perfect when you are congested.

    This is a must have!!!! Rub it on your chest or bottom of your feet to relieve a runny nose, cough, congestion or sore throat. Sometime even boiling some in water and in haling the steam will relieve congestion.

    This is a must have in my medicine cabinet. It helps me unstuff my nose, clear my chest congestion, and just generally breathe better at night. I will always have a tub of this on hand.
