Great for babies & adulte
I love these products! My kids used to get a lot of diaper rash, and now that my youngest is potty training, I still use this cream to help heal and soothe any irritation. It works fast—rashes clear up in just a few days! I absolutely love Desitin and would recommend it to any parent.

More than just a diaper rash cream
I went on an adventure to find something that would help my legs that had been chafed from 2 days of walking Disney in the May heat. This stuff right here was a miracle! I applied it after my shower one night and by the next morning my chafed legs were so much better and the pain was gone. I applied it every morning and night the rest of our stay and never had another problem. This stuff is great!!

Desitin Ointment
. It works well on my chapped hands, etc. It doesn’t have the cod liver oil scent like the Desitin white cream has, like what parents use on babies sore bottoms.
