Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment for Diaper Rash and More, 14 OZ | Baby Skin Protectant with Petrolatum for Chapped or Dry Skin, Drool Rash and Diaper Rash, Hypoallergenic, Fragrance Free

This is truly a holy-grail product in our house for a long list of skin issues. If you are like me and have tried several times to switch to beeswax-based or more “natural” products for your children, only to end up with a nasty rash, this may be worth trying. Sometimes not everything has to be ultra-pure, hand-foraged, and blessed by the mushroom fairies. Sometimes you just need to use what actually works for your child’s comfort. To be clear, if natural products work well for your family, that is great. But after trying many creams, salves, and balms, this is the one product I have used that not only clears diaper rash incredibly fast, but also helps prevent it altogether when used consistently. What makes this better than plain petroleum products, in my opinion, is that it is not just petrolatum. Aquaphor also includes ingredients like panthenol, glycerin, and bisabolol. Panthenol helps support skin barrier repair and retain moisture, glycerin is a humectant that draws in moisture, and bisabolol is known for its soothing properties. That combination makes it feel more effective and more skin-supportive than a basic petroleum ointment. I also use it for dry, scaly patches that show up in baby rolls, and they are often dramatically improved by the next day. At one point I tried to save money by switching to a generic petroleum-based product, and I realized very quickly that it was not the same. This formula really is in a different league. After seeing how well it worked on chapped cheeks, I started using a small amount at night as the final step in my own skincare routine to lock everything in, and it has genuinely helped my tired 37-year-old skin. Yes, it is greasy, but that is the point. It is meant to be highly occlusive, which is exactly what you want when trying to seal moisture in and protect irritated skin from further dryness and exposure. Another bonus, it makes an excellent lip balm. It helps heal chapped lips quickly and keeps them looking hydrated. Overall, this is one of the most versatile products I keep on hand for both babies and adults. Diaper rash, dry patches, chapped cheeks, lips, and even slugging for grown-up skin, it does it all. I would not want to be without it.

Don't let the word "Baby" on the packaging fool you. While Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment (7 Oz Tube) is practically a requirement for parents, I have found it to be one of the most versatile skincare products you can own, regardless of your age. The Good: The Tube vs. The Tub: I specifically recommend this 7oz tube over the large tubs you dip your fingers into. It is far more hygienic, especially if you are using it for minor scrapes or diaper changes, as it prevents bacteria from getting into the product. Magic on "Winter Skin": If you suffer from cracked knuckles, chapped lips, or dry patches around your nose during the cold months, this stuff is superior to standard lotions. Because it contains 41% Petrolatum combined with Panthenol (Vitamin B5), it creates a seal that actually heals the skin overnight rather than just moisturizing it for an hour. Drool & Diaper Rash: For its intended purpose, it is unmatched. It creates a protective barrier that moisture literally slides off of. It’s particularly great for "drool rash" on a baby’s chin because it’s safe if they accidentally ingest a tiny bit. The "Need to Know": It is Greasy: This is an ointment, not a cream. It does not absorb quickly like a lotion. It sits on top of the skin. If you use it on your hands, you won't be able to touch your phone or doorknobs for a while without leaving smudges. Baby vs. Regular: The secret is out—the "Baby" formula is almost identical to the "Adult" Aquaphor. The baby version is sometimes slightly milder (no fragrance, no preservatives), but generally, they are interchangeable. If one is on sale, feel free to buy it even if you don't have a baby (or vice versa). Verdict: Whether you are preventing diaper rash, healing a new tattoo, or fighting dry winter elbows, this tube is a powerhouse. It is the definition of a "must-have" product that you will find yourself reaching for constantly.

I love this Aquaphor Healing Ointment! It’s incredibly versatile and works great for dry skin, chapped cheeks, minor scrapes, and diaper rash. A little goes a long way, and it creates a protective barrier that helps soothe and protect the skin. I always keep a jar on hand because it has so many uses. Excellent quality and very effective, highly recommend!

Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment is an absolute staple in our household and I cannot imagine life as a parent without it. This product does it all — from diaper rash protection to soothing dry and chapped skin — and it works every single time without fail. We started using it on our baby shortly after birth and the results have been remarkable. Any time we notice redness or irritation in the diaper area, a thin layer of this ointment clears it up quickly and creates a reliable protective barrier against further moisture and friction. It is gentle enough for a newborn's delicate skin and we have never experienced any adverse reactions whatsoever. Beyond diaper rash, we use it for practically everything — dry patches on the face and cheeks during cold weather, minor scrapes and cuts, chapped lips, and even as an overnight treatment for rough elbows and heels on us adults. It is genuinely one of the most versatile products we own. The formula is fragrance-free, preservative-free, and dermatologist-tested, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when applying it to our little one daily. The texture is smooth and easy to apply without being excessively greasy, and a little goes a long way so the tube lasts a good while. Trusted by parents and pediatricians for decades, Aquaphor has earned its reputation and this ointment is a perfect example of why. Highly recommend to every parent — new or experienced. Keep one in the nursery, one in the diaper bag, and one in the medicine cabinet.

I lived by this !!! It works in one day! Heals up rashes and sores very quick! The price is affordable and last a long time!!! I have used this with all three kids and use it in any sores or wounds!!

After trying what felt like everything for my son’s sensitive skin, Aquaphor Healing Ointment has been the one product that consistently works. It’s super gentle, creates a great protective barrier, and actually helps his skin heal instead of just masking the dryness. Great for mama too. I use it for everything dry patches, irritation, even minor flare-ups and it never lets me down. Simple, reliable, and a total staple in our house now.

I’ve gone through four tubes of this in the last two years alone. It is an absolute staple in our house! My son deals with frequent rashes on his face, and his doctor recommended keeping this on it multiple times a day. It has helped so much. I use this for everything. It’s fantastic for his eczema, and I love using it as a final layer over his diaper paste or lotion to really lock in moisture. I’ve used it on his chapped lips, his ears, cuts and even in his hair when his scalp gets dry. It’s incredibly versatile, and gentle. I tried to get the nontoxic stuff and it just didn’t help his skin the way this does! If you have a child with sensitive skin and eczema you need this always!

Just get it. You may think you won't need it but you will. My daughter suffered from dry skin and aquaphor was the only healing ointment/lotion that worked. Her cheeks would be bright red from all the irritation from the cold and dry air. Once she put this on, it would ease up a lot. This is also a godsend for all diaper rashes or redness. I put this on for every single diaper change just as a precaution and it has worked like a charm.

Hele fijne crème. Perfect voor de droge huid. M’n baby is er blij mee en mama ook

Para los que tienen bebe de cualquier edad, definitivamente lo recomiendo! Yo lo utilizo desde que nació mi bebé, ahora ya tiene 2 meses y con esta crema no se me a rozado para nada! Quise utilizar otras también recomendadas como Bepanthen y debo de decir que si se me rozaba mi bebe. Pero el Aquaphor fue mi salvador 😁 al igual la e utilizado en su axila y también le controla lo rozado en su axila. Su cabecita se le estaba resecando mucho por alguna razón y esta igual le ayudó mucho!! Para mi es la #1!!!

So far so good. Seems to be effective

Works well with our baby from newborn. Our first defence for diaper rash, and any redness on her skin especially around the neck.
