DESITIN Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Paste 4 oz (Pack of 6)

As good as always

Excelent

I finally had an 3hr straight sleep because of this cream! My friend recommanded it to me and didnt expect much. Because I have Aveeno diaper rash cream I got from baby shower. its made out of same igrediant of zinc Oxide ..about 14%... Thinking it will not make a big difference... I Was WRONG! I got this product yesterday afternoon and been using it for about 12 hours. Smells not very pleasant but my little baby sleeps better and not crying and fussy whenever she is doing her business. She started sleep better after three times applying! And I just had good three hours of sleep without her waking me up every 30mins! I am really excited right now cuz 90% of her rashes are all gone! This is my first Amazon review and when I saw my babies almost free of diaper rash, i had to write about it!!!! I have been fighting with this for a week and it wasn't getting any better until yesterday! Aveeno diaper rash cream worked too. It soothed her but it didnt heal them. Well... at least not fast enough. I think 14% zinc oxide is good for preventing. Anyways, I am so excited to have my happy baby back with better sleep schedule!

I have been using this on my little boy for the past 4 months with great success. He came home from the hospital with a diaper rash (Nurses told me not to use anything- so much for that :-( ) so I started using the Desitin with a dusting of cornstarch baby powder on top and it was healed within a day. Now, we use it as a preventative thing at each diaper change again with the powder. At night (he sleeps through) I do a dusting of powder, then Desitin, and then powder again and he has not once had a red bottom despite being in a soaked diaper for 8-10 hours! It has ever so slight of a fishy odor but it doesn't bother me... he still smells baby fresh. I didn't even notice it until my husband pointed it out actually. I highly recommend this!

Best diaper cream, by far. A little smear of this stuff, and the rash is gone within a couple of hours, or overnight if it's a particularly bad one. I don't even bother with the regular strength cream. The maximum strength (purple) product is much more pasty; the regular strength (blue) is more liquidy/creamy and doesn't stay on as well. I have also tried Butt Paste, Triple Paste, plain vaseline, and A+D products. I like putting the A+D ointment on my babies at night when they do not have a diaper rash, as it prevents the rash from developing in the first place. If your baby has a spotted rash that this does not eliminate, try a mild anti-fungal like Lotrimin, as it is likely a yeast infection. Hopefully this tidbit will save distraught parents some of the frustration that I experienced in this situation!

I always try to choose more natural products for my child, but Desitin is one product I've not been able to replicate the performance of in other creams (natural or not). The Extra Strength paste is WONDERFUL and clears up diaper rash on my child's sensitive skin within hours. A good "frosting" and diaper rash doesn't have a chance because waste can't penetrate the barrier. The Extra Strength does have a strong medicinal smell unlike the regular, but it is worth the smell for how well it works. I buy it in tubs and use it at every diaper change - no more diaper rash, ever!

My son is now 2 years old, and in his time of using diapers we have sampled several different diaper ointments in search of the one that works best for us. My favorite so far, and the one we have used the most, is Desitin Maximum Strength Original Paste (I usually buy the 16 oz tub for the house, with a smaller tube for the diaper bag), with the other Desitin formulation (in the blue packaging) in 2nd place. This formula is thicker than the blue-packaged one. They have worked very well to prevent diaper rash, or heal it if he does get one. I do have misgivings about some of the ingredients [BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), methylparaben, and "fragrance"], based on current concerns over their possible health effects, but I have not yet found another ointment with ingredients I am more comfortable with that works as well for my child. (If you have recommendations, I'm happy to hear them!)
