Great diaper cream for a rash!
Desitin is our go to for a diaper rash! It has 40% zinc oxide which is more than their daily defense so it heals rashes quickly! It goes on super smooth and washes off clean with a wipe. Definitely recommend!

Effective
I really liked using the Desitin Maximum Strength cream because it feels very gentle on the skin but still provides strong protection. The texture is thick and smooth, which makes it easy to apply without needing a large amount. I use it consistently with every diaper change, especially at night, and it lasts for hours without fading away. I like that it stays in place and doesn’t leave a messy or oily residue. It definitely helps soothe redness quickly and works great as a preventive step too.

Great diaper cream
We used this for my kiddos when they were babies and toddlers for diaper rash. Always worked great and wasn’t greasy. It was a little hard to get off of clothing if accidentally rubbed off.

The best
Clears up my son's rash after only two or three uses. Only use Destin and nothing else when my kids have rashes. Scent isn't strong at all which I love.

Excellent for irritations
The texture is thick but smears easily, and forms a layer that remains on the skin, even in prolonged diaper changes. In many cases, irritation or redness begins to improve very early: for example, the manufacturer indicates that in a clinical study 90% of babies showed relief in 12 hours.

Perfect for sensitive skin
I'm a mom of two boys, a one year old and a 2 1/2 year old. Both of them have very sensitive skin especially on their bottoms so diaper cream (and a lot of it) is needed daily. Ive tried a few other brands of diaper rash cream and hands down Desitin maximum is the winner.

Effective and easy to apply.
This is the only rash cream I’ve used for my kids. It’s thick, goes on easily, and lasts. Rashes are resolved within a day or so, and there’s no weird smell to the cream either. Totally worth the price, and the packaging is great as well.

Desitin is the best, no doubt!
I love Desitin diaper paste! The texture is very thick but smooth. It’s also super spreadable which makes a little go a long way! It also doesn’t have a harsh chemical smell like some of the other diaper creams i’ve tried. The combination of Desitin with Huggies is my go too! I recommend this paste to first time mommy’s & mommy’s with littles!

Love this stuff and swear by it!
Since My Sons has been born, he has dealt with extreme diaper rashes. This cream has helped to prevent his diaper rashes from getting extreme or out of control. It’s a decently thick pace that goes on and melts right into the skin. Doesn’t irritate My Sons skin either and he has sensitive skin as it is. The smell is honestly not all that bad compared to other creams !

The GOAT
This is my go to diaper paste for treatment of f irritation and rashes with my little ones. It is thick in consistency, hence being a paste. It is unscented so I don’t have to worry about it containing any harsh irritants.

Moms MUST HAVE cream!
As a mom of 5, I can honestly say DESITIN® Maximum Strength Original Paste is a must-have for any parent. It’s my go-to diaper rash cream because it truly delivers on its promise to soothe and protect my baby’s skin. The formula is thick, rich, and made with 40% zinc oxide, which creates a strong protective barrier that keeps moisture away and helps heal irritation fast. What I love most is how quickly it works — I usually notice a big improvement after just one or two diaper changes. It also provides up to 12 hours of protection, which is especially helpful overnight when I can’t change diapers as often. It’s pediatrician- and dermatologist-tested, so I feel confident knowing it’s safe and gentle for sensitive skin. The only downside is that it’s a little thick and can be a bit hard to wipe off, but that’s also what makes it so effective at shielding the skin. A little goes a long way, and the results are worth it. If you’re looking for something that heals diaper rash fast and prevents it from coming back, I highly recommend DESITIN® Maximum Strength. It’s one of those baby care essentials I’ll never go without.
