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!

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.

is the best diaper cream for those ugly rushes

The best you can buy if packed so that they do not break up. Sometimes not packed well

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!

Love it works perfect

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.
