  • A household essential that heals fast and protects even better
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A household essential that heals fast and protects even better Desitin Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Cream has been around for decades for a reason—it simply works. The 40% zinc oxide formula is thick, soothing, and forms an instant protective barrier that seals out moisture and promotes healing. It’s the go-to for stubborn rashes that other creams can’t touch, often clearing irritation within a day or two. The cream’s texture is dense but spreads evenly, staying in place through multiple diaper changes or overnight use. It’s gentle enough for newborns yet strong enough for adults dealing with chafing or skin irritation from incontinence pads, sweat, or friction. Because it’s hypoallergenic and free of parabens, phthalates, and dyes, it rarely causes irritation even on sensitive skin. The 16-ounce tub is great value—it lasts for months and is far more economical than small tubes. The only minor drawback is that the paste can be hard to remove completely from skin or fabric if overapplied, and it has a mild medicinal scent that not everyone loves. Bottom line: a trusted, dermatologist-tested classic that lives up to its reputation. If you need fast, reliable relief for diaper rash, chafing, or general skin irritation, Desitin Maximum Strength remains the gold standard for both babies and adults alike. ... show more

  • Always reliable
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a staple in our household because it really creates a thick barrier that protects the skin. It works faster than most other brands I’ve tried, and you can usually see an improvement by the next morning. I’m giving it 4 stars because, while the thickness is what makes it effective, it is quite difficult to wash off your hands after applying it. It’s also a bit messy if it gets on clothes, but in terms of healing a stubborn rash, it’s definitely one of the most reliable products out there ... show more

  • Great time-tested remedy. Cheaper at Walmart.
Size: 4.8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is great stuff and often the only thing that works for minor annoying thingies. My dermatologist 's recommendation . However, Walmart has their own brand of 40% zinc oxide (which is what this is) at 1/5th the price. Ah, the price of advertising.

  • Thick
Size: 4.8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Works exactly how it should. Thick, protective ointment that stops and soothes diaper rash fast. A little goes a long way, doesn’t sting, and stays put through messy changes. Reliable diaper-bag staple every parent should have.

  • Simply excellent
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
-Desitin Maximum Strength Paste is a staple for our baby’s sensitive skin. The 40% zinc oxide formula provides an excellent protective barrier that isn’t too thick. In our experience, it makes rashes disappear in 1-2 uses. It is extremely reliable and we don’t leave the house without it. We prefer this concentration to the 13% zinc oxide (blue label). We don’t leave the house without it and the 16oz tub provides excellent value. ... show more

Works great! Way thicker than the normal stuff and last a lot longer. I like having the jar on the changing table. Easier to get when you only have one hand available.
