    Quick acting rash cream

    The Pros ​Fast Acting: Most parents see a visible reduction in redness within 12 hours, especially with the Maximum Strength version. ​Affordable: It is significantly cheaper than boutique brands like Triple Paste or Mustela, making it great for frequent use. ​Overnight Protection: Because it is so thick, it doesn't soak into the diaper quickly, protecting the skin even during long nighttime stretches. ​Versatile: Some users find it effective for "drool rash" on the chin or other skin chafing. The Cons Messy Application: It is notoriously difficult to wash off your fingers (and clothes). Many parents recommend using a silicone diaper cream brush to apply it. Staining: If it gets on dark clothing or upholstery, it can leave permanent white marks. Texture: The Maximum Strength version can be "tacky," which some babies find uncomfortable if the skin is already very raw.

    Very effective!

    Prevents diaper rash and keeps the skin dry! It works amazing and such a great barrier cream. Zinc oxide is a great diaper cream to allow no moisture to touch baby.

    Great, effective cream that soothes quickly, comes

    I’ve been really happy with this cream! It works quickly to soothe and protect irritated skin especially for diaper rash. The texture is thick and stays in place well, creating a barrier to help the skin heal faster. I also noticed redness goes down pretty quickly after using it. A little does go a long way and I find peace of mind knowing it’s gentle and effective. Definitely a product I trust and will keep using! The packaging is convenient and easy to use. It seals well so the product stays fresh without making a mess. Also a good size to keep at home or toss in a diaper bag. As for storage, I like that it doesn’t require anything special. Just keeping it in a cool dry space is enough. It holds up well and maintains its consistency over time.

    Works wonders on baby and heals the rashes fast enough and also prevents them. Very good cream we can trust on our baby. Creamy and smooth texture. No skin irritation. A little goes a long way. Price is reasonable for this product.

    Cream for chafing

    This cream, I really love it. It’s very good it fulfills it’s function instantly. My baby had rubbed super ugly, he even saw his skin burned and in just 2 days he was healthy using this cream . I changed his diapers constantly and washed the area after drying it and applied the cream. I recommend it and a guy uses the blue one for daily use and the purple one is stronger so use it when your baby has stronger chafing.

    Miracle!

    This is quite literally the BEST diaper rash paste on the market!!! My poor newborn got a diaper rash and after trying multiple ointments/pastes and getting nowhere with resolution we came across Destin and luckily it helped our baby!! We keep one in the diaper bag and on our changing station at all times for baby boy. It’s easy to apply; we use a mini spatula and just scrape a small amount from the tub and apply directly to his bum and it’s like magic!

    Great diaper rash paste

    I use this paste for diaper rashes for my baby and it helps her almost immediately. The packaging is great and I love how thick it is, the texture is great for babies. I believe the quantity of the cream is great for the value we get and it’s easy to store as well.

    This diaper rash cream works very well. It helped soothe my baby’s rash almost immediately, and you could tell he was much more comfortable after using it. The cream applies smoothly and creates a nice protective barrier to help the skin heal. It has been very effective and has become something I always keep on hand. I am very pleased with how well it works and would definitely recommend it to others parents

    Best in the Town

    I have been using this cream for 6 months. Its the best diaper rash cream so far. I use a pea size amount whenever I see a rash from diaper rubbing or anything like an irritation and boom it works like magic. The redness disappears. The only down-point is its thick white cast which is very difficult to remove from baby’s skin.

    Very good for irritation in babies

    I love this cream, it is very efficient and acts very quickly. It is very pasty with a pleasant smell. I love the swelling, the size and the amount it brings because I use it a lot with my two babies. This cream never allows my baby to feel irritated. It always keeps them comfortable and satisfied. And the price is super good and has a compactness and introduction 10/10

    Very effective diaper rash cream, but the smell is

    Desitin maximum strength is very reliable when it comes to treating diaper rash. The ingredients especially zinc oxide make it highly effective and I usually see improvement quickly. The texture feel is thick and protective, creating a strong barrier on the skin. The odor is the most pleasant, but the effectiveness makes up for it. The storage is easy thanks to the simple and practical packaging.

    I honestly wasn’t too fond of this diaper cream compared to other brands. It didn’t seem to work well and I didn’t have great results using it on my baby. The consistency was very thick and price wise I feel like it’s expensive for not working well.

    I’m very happy with the results

    I’ve been using Desitin Maximum Strength toothpaste on my baby and I’m very happy with the results. It really does what it’s supposed to: it protects and heals my baby’s bottom almost immediately. The only thing I find a little inconvenient is that, being such a thick white paste, it’s inevitable that it gets on your hands and it’s a bit difficult to remove. However, for the protection it provides, it’s totally worth having it on hand.
