Desitin Diaper Rash Cream Review Summary

Destin Diaper Rash Cream is an easy to apply, effective diaper rash cream that helps diaper rashes heal fast. With Desitin, a little goes a long way, and tubes are long lasting. Although slightly more expensive than some other brands, frequent coupons help keep parents costs down. One parent found Destin Diaper Rash Cream effective overnight. She says, “My son hasn't got many diaper rashes. But when he did, I would put this on him over night and the next morning, the rash would be gone.” Babies and toddlers with sensitive skin were happy after parents used this diaper rash cream to prevent and protect from diaper rashes as it was gentle to their skin. One parent even found out that Desitin is the “it was the safest diaper rash cream on the market as far as eating it goes,” after her little one decided it smelled and tasted good. One note of caution, most parents agree that if the diaper rash has sores, try something else as Destin Diaper Rash Cream can be painful and difficult to remove on an already tender tush. Let our parent reviewers share more information with you on diaper rash creams by checking the other reviews of different brands.

When my son was born my youngest daughter was just shy of turning two. She managed to get into the diaperbag and ate half a tube of this stuff. I called poison control instantly as soon as I found out. They told me it was the safest diaper rash cream on the market as far as eating it gos. They told me... review »

The reason why Desitin Creamy is not the best choice for a serious rash is stated clearly on the front of the tube: Goes On Smoothly & Wipes Off Easily. The point of diaper rash cream is to cover the irritated area and protect it from wetness. If the cream wipes off easily, it's going to rub right off...

I, myself, am a Desitin fan. I prefer it over the "creamy" types, because I found that the creamy types wiped off too easily, therefore having to apply it much more often. I received a free jar from the company, and it lasted me over a year! It works wonders and doesn't irritate baby's skin. It doesn't have the most pleasant smell, but it is medicine, right? I prefer reliability over a sweet scent! You won't be disappointed with this product!

This product is my favorite on the market. It spread easily so that you are not putting too much pressure on the rash area. But it's not so thin that it doesn't stick around for a while. And a little goes a long way!

It's also easy to wipe off at the next diaper change, so that the bottom will be properly clean, and then you can reapply more Desitin Creamy.

It heals my baby's bottom faster than any other I have ever tried. And another reason it's different from other brands, it doesn't smell near as bad! BIG PLUS+++

I will always buy Desitin Creamy. If it wasn't available at the store I was at ?...

My son has a VERY sensitive bottom.. If he sits in a dirty daiper for any length of time he automatically reddens up.  He has been prone to some pretty nasty rashes and just an overnight with his bum slathered in this DESITIN CREAMY does the trick.. EVERY TIME.

 This form of Desitin is the BEST.  I could never go back to anything pasty.. this formula glides on like a dream so you don't pull on tender skin when applying.

Ok, what's the downfall???  It does seem to burn a tiny bit when applied.  My son fusses and will cry out when I apply it when his rash is really bad... BUT.. it's a temporary...

I have tried many diaper creams and desitin is I think one of the worst. It is not the worst because it doesn't work at all, it's because it works only for very mild cases and it is too pricey for the sub-standard performance. If your baby has a bad case of diaper rash this stuff does pretty much nothing. First, It doesn't stick to the babies bottom so there is not enough contact with the rash. Second, you have to use a ton just to get mild results, and since this stuff is not cheap it is not worth it. If you want a good diaper cream try the Aveeno diaper cream, it is wonderful!

The smell of it is not bad..it has like a light scent that i like when I use this product. I would prefer this one over the original. The original seems to be thick and hard to come off

I have used many different kinds of diaper creams and I have to say that I really like desitin. It is very creamy and easy to apply. In addition, you only need a small amount to place on the affected area. I have tried several other brands such as Burts Bees and  drug store brands yet  desitin remains my favorite!

Tip: If you apply desitin right before bed time, you can assume that your child will be generally healed by the morning.

I have tried many diaper rash creams and ointments.  I would not go with the Desitin Creamy.  I would stick with the original Desitin.  The cream tended to make more of a mess than it actually helped.  It stuck to the inside of the diaper better than it did to the baby's skin, therefore not doing it's job properly.  It didn't protect their skin from further breakout.  I

I tried this after trying a different diaper that my little one was alergic to. In just a few days it was looking soooooo much better. I hate it when I think my little one is suffering so a speedy recovery in VERY important! I am sure little ones everywhere agree! I would recommend this to anyone for diaper rashes and my dr recommened it to me!

We rarely have diaper rash in this house, but when we do, a little Desitin clears it up overnight. What else can I say, really?

Desitin is a common name in baby diaper rash ointments, and I have used it some in the past with my first two daughters, but I found that I liked Dr. Smith's diaper ointment better.

My children all have sensitive skin and would break out with certain diapers, diaper wipes, if I washed the clothes in something other than Dreft, if I used a fabric softener, and I later discovered that they also have GERD (reflux) and multiple food sensitivities. I found that frequent diaper changes, sometimes leaving the area open to air after a soothing bath, and keeping the skin dry was helpful but that my kids often...

Desitin Creamy is a wonderful product. The nice smell is appealing. This white cream spreads easily and wipes off easily too. I don't think it has a greasy feel and works wonders. Is a great product just like the other original Desitin. I have used this on all of my children and have been successful with mild rashes.
