Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream

 (3 customer reviews)

Yes, it's more expensive than grocery store brands. But this is the best rash cream out there. My daughter's very sensitve skin is calmed overnight with this product. A little goes a very long way. I now use their bath and skin products exclusively.

This cream just doesn't stay on, which renders it useless as a barrier cream as far as I can tell. It's too creamy and wipes right off. My daughter got a very nasty diaper rash and I couldn't figure out why her rash wasn't improving despite medication. Thankfully, I ran out of Mustela and had to buy something quick at the local store. Once I switched to Desitin, improvement began immediately, and you can understand why. Desitin is 40% zinc oxide and very thick. It doesn't all rub off on the diaper the second you put it back on, unlike this stuff. As a new mom, I didn't know the difference, but now I do. I'm hopeful that this will help other new moms too.

I just don't recommend this product if a rash has already developed. Perhaps as a preventative measure, it works fine.

We have used this on my 2 year old daughter since birth and it is great. She hasn't had a rash unless it's due to being sick and having diarhea. I recommed it to everyone, at least give it a try, you'll like it...I use a lil' bit on every diaper change.
