Pros: Works Fast, Clear, No-Scent, Little goes a long way Cons: Price, Greasy, similar to vaseline...
My 2 year old's skin has been getting so chapped due to cold winter weather and some windburn. Recently at the pediatrician's office I remarked that his skin chapped and dryed out so easily, no matter what lotions we used. He asked if I had tried...
Pros: Heals just about any condition quickly; Cons: Greasy;
Don't you love visits to your pediatricians office? You get a well baby check up, maybe some shots, some screaming, and if you are really lucky FREE SAMPLES!
This is how I happened upon Aquaphor Healing Ointment.
Pros: Protects skin from moisture; works quickly; fragrance-free; tube lasts forever. Cons: Greasy; price.
My daughter is a drooler. It wasn't always that way - from birth till about three months, she was as dry as a baby could be, but as soon as she hit that twelve-week mark, the waterworks began. The amount of drool she produces is really quite impressive; ...
Pros: Works on all baby's minor skin irritations, cheap, long-lasting Cons: Greasy
If you read no further in my review than this, just know that Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment is the quintessential skin care product for babies. My son had some bad skin irritation problems from 0-3 months old. He suffered from a recurring ...
Pros: heals super fast, heals anything Cons: greasy
My daughter had a horrible case of weather related dry skin. Her forehead was peeling, cracked, and even oozed a little puss. While at a pediatrician appointment, I spotted small sample tubes of this miracle ointment on the administrative desk and...
Pros: Multi-purpose (moisturizer, cut & scrape healer, baby lotion); VERY effective Cons: Greasy, but only for the first few minutes (must know your limits!)
This ointment is the best all-around, multitasking product to have in your home. It works as an every day moisturizer, cut and scrape healer, and is gentle enough for baby. Aquaphor looks a lot like regular old Vaseline, but it works much better. I ...
Pros: Excellent Moisturizer Cons: More expensive than other ointments
My son developed Ezcema several months ago and we talked to our pediatrician who told us to try the Aveeno line of products for bathing, lotioning, etc. So we did, and it helped a little but he kept having bad flare ups and started to scratch and cause ...
excellent diaper rash ointment by natie03 ,Apr 22 '04
Pros: fast healing! Cons: costly for a 3 oz 85 gm, greasy
my 2 month old son is very sensitive to any diaper rash cream, i tried this product, i got a fast healing results. i loved it even if it's like a regular petroleum ointment. good for other uses such as minor burns, dry skin, etc.
Excellent for adult skin! by shubone33 ,Apr 12 '07
Pros: Works fast, no pungent odor and generic are available Cons: Price
I have very dry skin. The cold weather and constant washing of my hands after diapering or doing dishes has only increased the cracked and scratchiness of my skin. I've tried Lubriderm, Vaseline and Nivea lotions along with custom creams from body and bath stores.
Aquaphor is like a dream come true. You only need to use a small amount and it feels greasy when first applied. When I tried a sample for the first time it made me question the contents. Aquaphor was absorbed into my skin quickly and the lubrication lasted for hours, even with washing.
It is a little expensive but chain pharmacies offer generics.
I'm Never Without It... by 62pershopper ,Jul 14 '04
Pros: The 14oz jar lasts a long time. Cons: Since this is an ointment, it is greasy.
Aquaphor is an ointment base containing petroleum jelly and mineral oil. I originally purchased it when looking for something to treat my dry, cracked feet and hangnails.
It's an ointment - not a lotion so it doesn't absorb into your skin quickly. Rather than use it during the day, I rub it into my hands and feet right before bedtime (the jar stays on my bedside table). It has a nice scent and texture.
For the money, this works better than anything else I've tried.
The product is versatile, can be used for diaper rash, minor burns and sunburn, dermatitis, etc. Can be used as a base for making your own ointments (adding calendula, etc.).
Two supple, non-chapped thumbs up for Aquaphor! by a029223 ,Mar 06 '06
Pros: Great staying power, protects and heals, keeps skin moist Cons: Expensive, goes on thick, can leave 'oil stains' on clothes
Our pediatrician has recommended Aquaphor Ointment for both of our boys, who have slight eczema and dry skin in general. It has wonderful coverage (especially if you rub some between your hands to warm it before applying), and it doesn't seem to sting, even on chapped or broken skin.
I slather both babies with Aquaphor after their baths, and it really helps to keep the natural moisture in their skin from drying out. It's expensive, but it's worth it to keep them from being itchy and uncomfortable. (Note: the pediatrician also prescribed a steroid cream for serious outbreaks; always check with your doctor or pharmacist before following advice online!)
Our only negative about it is that unless you are careful to apply thinly or kind of blot it after applying, it can leave what looks like an oil stain on clothing. It sometimes doesn't come out in the wash, but we haven't worked out whether it's any particular kind of fabric (we mostly use cotton but I have some cotton/spandex T shirts that the stains have stayed on).
