~Cheaper than the leading brand~ ************************** Amongst the Asda healthcare products I have bought and used is the Asda vapour r and Olbasub which I bought as a cheaper alternative to the similar Vicks branded versions that both cost considerably more to buy. Whilst I wouldn't say that this Asda product smells quite as strongly menthol as the Vicks/ Olbas branded products do, I feel that it has a similar menthol influenced basis and in use it does work fairly well to help clear a blocked nose. The simple and basic looking packing/ product container is easy to handle in my opinion, with the whole thing being neat and functional. In ...  Read the complete review

Asda Vapour Rub. When we have colds in our house generally I reach out for olbas oil, the smell is very pleasant and it works wonderfully, but I do have a tub of this in the medicine cabinet, I think my mum bought it over when she heard my little one was poorly. Well I thought I'd give it a try. The packaging is a small 50g tub about an inch and a half in height and is made of a very dark blue/green plastic with a teal plastic lid. The label is of the same colours and has in red written vapour rub. The tub is available in most if not all Asda store and at www.asda.co.uk and costs about £1. The rub itself is the consistency of petroleum jelly ...  Read the complete review

With having a son of primary school age, he seems to pick up bugs quite easily as they spread around the school like wildfire and then when he gets the bugs, we all seem to end up with it and over the last few months, we seem to have had more than our fair share of coughs, colds and flu bugs, so I always make sure that I have a vast array of medicines and ailments in the medicine box for when the need arises. One such item in the box at present is Asda's own branded Vapour rub. I didn't purchase this for any particular reason, I just happened to be shopping in Asda at the time and it was an item that we had recently run out of at home. I don't feel the need ...  Read the complete review

It's that time of year when the medical supplies dwindle due to the rotten colds and flus that are around. One thing I've used a lot of this year is vapour rub and after running out of my trusty Vicks, I decided to try and save a bit of money and went for a cheaper brand. Whilst doing my usual food shopping in my local Asda I noticed they sold their own brand of vapour rub so picked it up to see if it was any good. Of course, being an Asda product, it is only available to purchase either in store or online if you do your shopping that way. A tub of this will cost you around £1. The packaging is typical for the product type coming in a 50 gram tub ...  Read the complete review

Asda Vapour rub is a brilliant and much cheaper alternative to a well known product which I am sure you have all heard of, it helps to get rid of nasal congestion and congestion problems you may have with your chest, this product has very similar ingredients to its more expensive and well known alternative but as it is being sold for much cheaper is well worth trying out. This product comes in a small round blue tub and has a light blue lid which is easily screwed on and off, it is a clear, smelly menthol type cream which can be rubbed on to your chest, and is best used before going to bed to help clear your air way passages giving you a more comfortable and ...  Read the complete review
