what parents are saying
A MUST HAVE. Awesome. My son has never had diaper rash in 18 months. My friend had Dr. Smith as her doctor when she was a baby. This stuff works. Use every day/every changing. Buy the big jars on Amazon... so much cheaper. (May 13, 2013)

Changing a squirmy baby’s diaper can be a daunting task… add diaper rash to the equation and you get two very unhappy campers. Lots of weeSpring parents (including our co-founder Melissa) turn to Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment to deliver instant relief for even the worst rashes. Developed by a pediatrician back in the 1960s, this tried and true product has helped babies and their stressed out diaper-changers get through some tough times — and now it’s available nationally.

One time application and done! I don’t use it often but when I had to I just apply it either directly to the skin or the diaper. It’s a bit hard to remove from your fingers but it’s effective for rash Jun 05, 2019

From Dr. Smith's
In 1963, after seeing the long time it often took diaper rashes to heal, and the distress it caused for babies and parents alike, San Antonio pediatrician Dr. Forrest M. Smith set out to do something about it. He teamed up with two pharmacists, Erwin Batha and Marty Rubin of Royal Pharmacy, and created the perfect premium blend of ingredients now known as Dr. Smith’s® Diaper Ointment. Over the years, word has spread around the country about how well Dr. Smith’s product works. People can often see results often as soon as overnight, which has led it to become the go-to solution that it is today.

My favorite diaper cream by a landslide! It does have lanolin, so would avoid this if your little is sensitive to lanolin. But we have found it effective and non-irritating for sensitive skin. Jun 02, 2022

What I thought was great at first was not so. It left a dry film on his bum that I had to scrub off. Not good on top of an already sore bottom. Will not use again. Feb 01, 2016

Believe it or not, Dr. Smith was my pediatrician as a child growing up in San Antonio - he used to prescribe his diaper ointment formulation to patients and now it is available to all. Nothing else works like this - eliminates any sign of redness with one application. Expensive, but totally worth it Mar 24, 2015

Great stuff! Comparable to Desitin but I think I like it better. A definite must have :) Dec 12, 2014

It works. Applied it to my baby's rash on his chest from spit up and it cleared it up the next day. It's just a bit greasy after applying Dec 12, 2014
- Sabina K.

Liked this cream a lot, and after a week of using it my sensitive daughter had a clear tush! I would probably use this as a daily cream and go to a higher zinc cream for an actual rash. Dec 08, 2014

The ONLY cream that cured diaper rash for my girls. Won't leave home without it. Have it at both changing tables and in my diaper bag. Expensive for what you get, but the one thing that WORKS! Sep 24, 2014
