    Smooth Paste

    I used Desitin for both of my children and I think it works great! I use a butt spatula to apply the paste as it helps spread it evenly, but also the paste is a little annoying to get off and has a smell as does most pastes. The storage tube is also a nice size giving you much value for you're money and lasts a while.

    Must have for babies!

    Sometimes you just need to go with the brand name item- desitin is one of them! I’ve tried other brands and lookalikes but desitin just does the job so well. It starts working right when you put it on, it goes on super smooth and isn’t cakey or thick. It has helped us through so many diaper rashes big and small. Definitely recommend!

    Works great

    I use this for my face ironically. It’s a great barrier booster and has anti inflammatory properties! I have destroyed mine from using to many harsh products, so this has been very helpful. I only use it once a week as a face mask or as a spot treatment on other days. I am no dermatologist lol so use at your own risk!

    The Only Cure for Diaper Rash

    The Desitin Maximum Strenth Paste is the cure all for diaper rash. Whenever my son’s bottom is irritated, the desitin helps to soothe and relief the irritation immediately unlike other brands we’ve tried. The texture is thick but it absorbs well on the skin. I recommend applying with a diaper cream applicator so the cream doesn’t stick to your hands. This is a great value and always use it to the last drop. Overall a highly recommended product for diaper rash and sensitive skin.

    NO

    Our son was in the NICU and had a persistent diaper rash the entire time. Every time we used this product, the diaper rash would get worse and get so raw that it would start bleeding. Initially we thought it was just because he was not being changed enough, so when we got home, we tried again. His bottom was hurting so bad and again, started bleeding even though we were doing frequent diaper changes. Once we discontinued use of this product, his butt started to get better.

    Beat diaper rash with Desitin

    We kept going round and round with diaper rash until this cream. Highly recommend. We were using aquaphor for a while, but the diaper rash kept coming back and we were having to treat with nystatin every couple weeks. Since switching to Desitin we haven’t been back to the nystatin once! Woohoo!

    Skin Care

    I squeezed every last bit out of this tube, we love it that much! I use it for my babies when they have rashes or even just every diaper change to prevent skin breakdown of any type. I’ve used it to dredge my skin and it makes it so so hydrated and plump overnight! It’s easy to clean off and doesn’t leave a bad residue.

    Quick solution to diaper chafing

    When choosing a product to use on your baby’s skin, do not choose any one. You should know that you are choosing this cream. It worked so much for me that from one day to the next you can see the results. My baby escalded too much and this helped him. The chafing because of the diaper disappeared.

    Repairs, protects and soothes rashes quickly

    This is the the the #1 product I reach for whenever it comes to my boys having a rash. It has that thick barrier protection texture that will definitely keep your little ones rash sealed from messes in the diaper. I love that it has 40% zinc oxide, along with the petroleum and lanolin. It seriously clears rashes so fast.

    It is an excellent cream; I highly recommend it. It provided my baby with very quick relief, and best of all, a little goes a long way. The packaging makes application very convenient and ensures it stays securely closed.
