    Works for some, not for all.

    I got some when I had my first child who always had a red bum. Unfortunately it never worked for him. I know my Oma swore by it, but I think this is one that will only work for some and not for all.

    Too hard to apply

    I don't like the thick consistency of this product. I find it very hard to apply properly, and with a squirmy toddler, I want something that goes on smooth and quickly.

    Good But Could Be Better

    I like this product because it does it job. What I don't like is the fact that it is so hard to spread and that it stays on your finger unless you use a baby wipe to clean it off.

    Works ok

    I've used this diaper cream for both my sons when they had rashes it seems to have cleared most up but some would still remain causing me to look other places for other creams. The consistency is thick and hard to get off. It comes in a travel size can and a big can for at home use. I would recommend it for use but I just don't think it was for me.

    Did nothing for my baby.

    I tried out this cream on my newborn and I didn't find it really did much. It's super thick and hard to work with too. I found I was rubbing her more to get it off her skin which definitely didn't help with her getting sore as it was.

    Diaper rash got worse

    My friend told me to buy this as it worked for her son but it did not do anything for my boy . In fact, it seemed to spread more. Its thick and white so its hard to blend properly. My friend then told me that it stopped working for her. I wished i had waited to buy it on sale as i bought it at full pop and it was a waste of 15 bucks!

    I do think that this cream works, what I don't like about it is that its so hard to spread / remove. Once its on the bum its there. And if you are changing a diaper before it is absorbed then good luck getting it off -multiple hard wipes. I have a tub I was given as a gift over a year ago and I rarely use it when baby has a rash. I would rather use Vaseline, or hydro emulsifying ointment. I would not buy this cream for myself.

    I used this cream on my first baby and I think there is better options to keep my little one's bum from getting a rash.
    It's too thick and hard to wash off.

    Received this as sample and I'd say I'm not a fan of it. The texture is too thick and sticky, making it fairly difficult to spread on the infected area.

    This product is very thick, sticky, and leaves a white cast. It does provide some itchy rash relief, but it sticks and rubs off onto my clothing and bedding. It's an ok product, but I would not use this again for those reasons.
