Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream with 40% Zinc Oxide for Treatment, Relief & Prevention, Hypoallergenic, Phthalate- & Paraben-Free Paste, Travel Size, 2 oz (Pack of 6)

So I have switched back and forth between this and the boudreaux butt paste. After having my son, who has had many episodes of diarrhea. MANY lasting for 1 to 2 weeks. Constantly changing his diaper, and blow outs... He gets a horrible rash!!! I have found the desitin texture, actually stays on the skin better than any other formula....You know that annoying sticky waxy feeling you get when the desitin gets on your clothes or skin?!! And it takes forever to wash it off?? Well yeah, that texture is what makes desitin soooo good.Between all my sons diarrhea episodes, a few an hour, the desitin has such a good barrier between his skin, and the diarrhea it helps protect the skin, so no moisture gets to it!!! PLUS it does what its supposed to do-HEAL the rash.I recently finished my tube of desitin, and had to go back to the butt paste, and the butt paste texture was sooo mild as soon as I tightened up his diaper the butt paste was wiped off.Never again, will I use anything but Desitin!!TIP: When buying desitin, just do yourself the favor and ALWAYS buy the max strength. What's the point of the regular stuff?Always keep it on hand, you never know what could happen. I used to pride myself on my first child never having a diaper rash... But my second child, has a problem with chronic diarrhea. That give him rashes.

This is one of my most favorite purchase, ever! My baby had horrible diaper rash and this was the only thing that helped within 24 hours! This is our go-to as soon as we see any redness on her bum. I also LOVE the travel size because we can keep them all over the house as well as in every bag (i.e. diaper bag, purse, travel bags, etc.). I will be keeping these on hand until the diaper days are behind us!

Love it works perfect

This is the strongest strength of zinc oxide, 40 percent (%) and really helps with chafing, rashes, and irritated skin - not just for babies, great for any age skin. Use sparingly, and it is a really thick product.There was this one time...that my soon to be ex-husband used it in his hair to dress up like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a gathering we had...only a few friends showed up, but it was still fun. He had to remove the Destin from his hair using olive oil.Which was a helpful trick because a child actor, while left unsupervised for 5 minutes, came into the living room with it all in his hair...trying to copy his father.Just a little humor for a product that is primarily used in areas that diapers would cover - adult diapers or child sized ones.

Don't let the name fool you...this product isn't just for babies and diaper rash. While not often, I have had a handful of times where I got an acute inner thigh rash (combination of moisture and wearing the wrong material). This cream is thick but dries fast. Leave it overnight, and the rash will be mostly gone. Granted, the smell is POTENT. So be aware not to use it right before, say, going to work or going out with people. It doesn't linger forever, but that first few minutes is the worst. Push through it, though! It's a great product and will help with any severity of rash.

I ordered this product for my infant to prevent diaper rash.I apply this product at almost every diaper change to avoid diaper rash. Our infant is 3 weeks old and this product has worked great for her! So far she’s only had some small areas of diaper rash and this cream has helped clear up those areas within a day or so.This cream is very thick and acts as a layer barrier between the skin and moisture in the diaper. I find that it’s easily washed off and isn’t greasy. The smell is awful. It has a very strong, fishy smell. Besides the smell, this product works great for diaper rash and I highly recommend!

I will continue to buy this product as recommended by the pediatrician. My son has a really bad diaper rash to the point that we had difficulty actually cleaning him up when we needed to change his diaper. We were using butt paste, regular desitin at every changing but the conditions did not improve. We finally decided to take him to the doctor and that is when we found out we were essentially wasting out time with regular strength diaper cream. We immediately switch to the maximum strength and ensured that every changing we did not skimp on putting as much as we could. Within two days, his diaper rash had subsided and his skin was back to normal. Every time there is a slight indication of a flare up, I ensure that I put on this diaper cream. I also use it when I know that we are going to be out and the weather appears to be more on the muggy side or if I know that he wont be changing his diaper as frequently. If diaper rash is frequent in your household, I would highly recommend.

This product worked to do exactly what the description said. Of course, before applying any such product - it works best when it has a clean area to work with. I washed my baby's bottom to get rid of any germs, poop, other bacteria before applying the product. Easy application, it soothed the rash and my child did not seem to be in discomfort after application of product. The smell, I was not a big fan of - I researched some of the ingredients on there if anyone is wondering. They are cod liver oil, zinc oxide, talc, lanolin, BHA, fragrance, petrolatum and water. If you're looking for a working product, the rash doesn't stand a chance with this one!
