Vicks VapoRub

I bought a new jar of Vicks vaporub. It is pathetic. It has very little smell and does not have the strength of the old formula.
Very disappointing and looking at the majority of of others reviews I'm not alone.
Heed the saying, if it's not broke don't try to fix it!

The new product is nothing more than Vaseline. I will never purchase it again. I wish I could leave no stars. It has no scent and does not help. It is useless!

Did not do a thing, doesn't smell at all like it used to. Very disappointing. If there was a minus 10 that is what I would have given. Will never purchase again.

I used to slather VICKS on my feet and pop some socks on. I’d also sit and sniff the jar to clear my head and stop a cough. The new VICKS is no better than petroleum jelly-waste of time! Someone needs to manufacture a jar of ‘back to VICKS’!

This new product whatever it is does nothing.
I say whatever it is because it certainly isn’t even remotely similar to real Vicks vapor rub.
The company should be ashamed.
Seriously this product is useless now . It used to be good

As soon as opened the jar I knw it wasn't the same, had no smell. Rubbed it on my chest and made no difference. Will not buy it again. Bring back the old formula

This was always my go-to cold savior. It not longer has the same smell or chest soothing properties. The smell used to waft up from your chest, clearing your nasal passages. It no longer does that either. I'm completely disappointed.

Both my daughter and I independently purchased Vicks Vapo Rub as I always refer to it as. I've used it since I was a young kid. I opened it and thought I had Covid (lost my sense of smell) . Luckily I had an old jar with a little left in it. I opened it and could smell that wonderful, nasal clearing smell. The new product seems to have no smell at all. I guess you can use it to lube a bicycle chain instead of vasiline. Ironically, a few weeks later my daughter called to warn me not to buy Vicks as they changed it. She know how I've always had Vicks in the house for my family. I told her thanks but it was too late. I had already purchased the last jar I'll ever buy.

Just bought a jar of vicks and very disappointed. It doesn't smell like the old vicks I use to buy. And thought it was quite expensive at 5.98 for a 1.76 oz jar. Where's the old formula?

this new stuff is terrible. I guess they changed the formula from the original was so they could manufacture it more cheaply and make more money for the big wigs.

Just bought a new jar of Vicks Vapour Rub. What the heck have Vicks done to it? More petroleum jelly, less menthol, less eucalyptus. It does nothing and the smell is horrible. You have lost customers because of your cheap skating. Or is that what you want to happen? Shame!

This just doesn’t work. No vapor, warmth or clearing of blocked nasal passages. Totally disappointed. It doesn’t do what it was used to do. Used to love this product but I won’t purchase it again.

The smell is terrible, in fact was going to throw it out thinking it was off! It doesn’t “burn” when rubbing in, and is just not as effective as the original.

I'm 65 yro and have been using vaporub all my life, my last large jar was running out so I got some more, when opening the new jar i could immediately smell the difference, I compared the 2 and the new one is similar but different, i made a google enquiry only to find out the formula has been changed, with the old vaporub it really helped my breathing when I had colds, the new one smells different with no effect for me, sorry no more vaporub for me, I asked my wife to verify both smells and she agreed the new one is different, however the younger generation will probably think its ok

The new formula's scent is unpleasant, I was very disappointed. I can't use it at all! I didn't feel it opened up my air passage well either. Will NEVER buy this product again unless the old formula is brought back.
