How to use

How to Use & Directions

To get the most out of the Vicks Easy Applicator:

  • Method: Simply remove the cap and glide the applicator over the chest and back.
  • For Congestion: Apply a generous layer to the chest and back to allow the vapors to be inhaled.
  • For Muscle Aches: Can also be applied to sore muscles to provide a cooling, soothing effect.
  • Clothing: Leave clothing loose around the neck and chest to help the vapors rise toward the nose and mouth.
  • Important: Never apply Vicks into the nostrils, on broken skin, or to children under 2 years old.

Active Ingredients

The formula remains the same classic blend:

  • Levomenthol: Provides a cooling sensation and helps clear the feeling of a blocked nose.
  • Camphor: Acts as a mild analgesic and respiratory stimulant.
  • Eucalyptus Oil: Traditionally used to help loosen phlegm and soothe coughs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same formula as the Vicks in the jar?

  • Yes. The active ingredients and the relief provided are identical to the traditional Vicks VapoRub jar; only the application method has changed.

Can I use this on my baby?

  • No. Vicks VapoRub (including the applicator) is only suitable for children aged 2 years and older. For younger babies, we recommend Vicks BabyRub.

Does the applicator get "clogged"?

  • The applicator is designed to remain smooth. To keep it hygienic, simply wipe the head with a clean tissue after each use before replacing the cap.

Can I use it for steam inhalation?

  • No. Unlike the jar version, the applicator stick should not be melted in hot water for steam inhalation. It is designed for topical skin application only.
