what parents are saying
We love this for bad diaper rash! Put it on real thick, like you are icing a cake and change baby's diaper frequently to avoid making the rash worse. Baby's bum should look great by the next day! (May 31, 2018)

Baby has a diaper rash? This will work so quickly. Apply just a thin layer as needed. This cream is best when used as soon as a rash begins to develop. I sometimes even use it for rash prevention. Apr 30, 2020

- Allasondra P.
