A+D Diaper Rash Cream, Dimethicone Zinc Oxide Cream, 4 oz (113 g) (Pack of 4)

 (3 customer reviews)

I was looking for a preventative diaper rash cream that won't burn a hole in my wallet and uses parabens as a preservative - both Balmex and Destitin does. Been using Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment which i have been happy with but like i said looking for a cheaper alternative.

I bought this because i had used AD before on my older child and its consistency was thick and it has been around as a trusted brand. My only issue with the original A&D ointment is the smell. So when i saw this formula (cream), and there were no parabens, i jumped on it. (see full ingredient list below).

Two days into using this cream and my 5 week old has a rash. I should have guessed because the cream is very thin - so thin it simply glides on smooth like moisturizer on skin. I'm back to Burt's now.

This cream's ingredients: aloe barbadensis extract, benzyl alcohol, coconut oil, cod liver oil, fragrance, glyceryl oleate, light mineral oil, ozokerite, paraffin, propylene glycol,...Read more

I don't know why I ordered four of these without ever having used it before. It's okay; I'll use them up, but I really prefer the original Desitin. Seems everything else (Boudreaux's Butt Paste, Desitin Creamy, and A&D) are all too thin. If you really want a good diaper rash cream, I suggest Desitin.

A&D ointment is the best diaper ointment in my opinion! I will continue to buy this product but it is cheaper at walmart!
