I've tried a few other barrier creams but I always come back to the Mustela. At the first sign of any redness, I dab a thin, thin layer of this cream on the area and the irritation is gone the next day. I've heard horror stories about diaper rash but the only time my daughter ever had it was as a reaction to another barrier cream (w/ a quirky, funny name -- supposedly great).
As to the price, I'm still using that original tube two years later (and I believe it's time to replace it). Since it works so well at preventing diaper rash, I haven't had much need to use it and when I do I use very little. The smell is very light, not floral, "babyish" or "fishy," like other barrier creams can be. It also cleans up off my fingers easily; other creams can be sticky and stubborn to wash off.

This review is from: Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream 1.7 oz (Baby Product) This diaper barrier cream is wonderful! Most other creams are too oily or runny to get good coverage. This cream is just the right consistency, and is very soothing for irritated areas. Our daughter never had bad diaper rashes, and I believe it is because of this cream. You should apply it at the first sign of redness to prevent a rash. Although it is expensive for the amount of cream, we only had to buy 2 tubes when our daughter was an infant. It's definitely worth the money. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By Alex Hoppy "Mikey" (St. Charles, IL USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream 1.7 oz (Baby Product) This is the best ointment I have used yet. It smells great (not too strong), spreads very nicely, and most of all cures diaper rash very effectively. My 2 complaints are 1) the metal tube sometimes squeezes out more than you need (the tube should be made of plastic) and 2) The price is quite high, especially when you can get a similar product for 1/2 the price or even less. Overall, though it is an excellent product and I would highly recommend it for our precious babies. |
