As a nurse I wash my hands several hundred times a day it seems. Even with the hospitals using moisturizing soaps my skin gets very dry. I bought this little jug and take it to work with me. It is amazing how well it can moisturize my VERY dry hands. In the winter I get cracks on the outside of my palms, without fail every year. I take this cream and let it sit on the crack for as long as I can. By the next day or so the crack has healed enough to be more manageable.

Several patients have this cream prescribed to them by their doctors its so good.

I highly recommend this cream to everyone that suffers from dry, cracked skin!

Thank you for reading my review.

I purchased this ointment based on a recommendation by my son's pediatrician. My son suffers from severe eczema and nothing we were using on him was helping. We have to be very careful with what we use on his skin because anything can make his condition flare up. The pediatrician recommended we use the Aquaphor ointment on him at least two times a day, and especially after his bath. She also said it is important to apply it within minutes after patting him dry from his bath before the skin has a chance to 'dry out'.

This is the only product that has helped his skin condition. If we use it on him twice a day his eczema is nearly non-existent. It has worked so well on him that I started using it after I shower and it has made a tremendous difference in my skin. I don't have eczema but in the winter I end up with severe dry skin and this is the only moisturizer that made a difference.

The only downside to this ointment is that it goes on greasy and can take a few minutes for the greasiness to soak in. I prefer not to put on any good clothes right away in case some of the grease transfers to my clothes before it soaks into my skin. If there is a greasy spot or two on the clothing then using powder on the spots helps to get it out (let the powder sit on the greasy spot for a few minutes or more so it soaks up the oils, then brush the powder away). Even though it goes on greasy I decided to give it 5 stars because it is an 'ointment' rather than a 'moisturizer,' and it does what it is supposed to better than any other product we have tried.

as far as i can tell, there is no difference between the "baby" and regular versions of aquaphor. their website does not mention any difference, and i have not observed any differences in the last month of use. but, for some reason, the baby version is often less expensive (this is also true at retailers - and check the baby aisle for the even less expensive target brand). i have been using aquaphor, mixed with Eucerin Lotion, Intensive Repair, 16.9-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2), twice a day on my daughter for the last two years, and it has really helped to keep her eczema at bay. i find it too greasy to use alone, but it is great mixed with another lotion. also makes a great lip balm!

My hubby and I just got tattoos done a week ago and out artist suggested using this stuff. All the other tattoo products out there are just over priced so we thought we would give it a try. First off, I love the price and although I don't like the greasy feeling of this, I love how great it is helping my tattoos heal.

My daughter got diaper rash at 2 weeks old and we tried everything to get rid of it, even changing to organic diapers and getting prescription cream from the doctor. After suffering for 6 weeks my husband brought this home and in two days her awful rash is almost completely healed!!!! This is truely a miracle cream!

I bought it for baby son who has been diagnosed with eczema. My doctor recommended this ointment to apply to the affected area. The redness and dryness in that area subsided after 4 applications (once after the day bath and once after the night bath). I'm still hoping that there will be fuller recovery but it has done a good job already.

My mother suggested that I get this product for my feet.

I had terrible peeling feet and cracked heels, and iching feet.

I have been using this product for a month now and very pleased, the peeling part is not that bad now and no cracked heels and my feet feel much better and much more smoother now and the inching has stopped almost completely.

Will be getting more later, especially at Amazon price, since it is cheaper, but it is worth the high price that I got in the local drug store, anyway!

When my daughter (now six months old) began to experience severe, persistent diaper rashes due to highly sensitive skin within her first month of life, we were desperate to find an ointment that would help alleviate her pain and her poor, constantly inflamed bottom. We weren't able to use the standard zinc oxide creams because they actually made the rashes worse or caused them, and while petroleum jelly didn't cause rashes, it also didn't do anything to heal them. After much experimentation, we finally found Aquaphor. We purchased it based on the exemplary reviews, and it hasn't disappointed us. It is capable of taking a badly inflamed bottom and virtually eliminating the redness overnight. Given our daughter's sensitive skin, we use this as a barrier at every diaper change to prevent rashes as well - and it works. On the occasions she does still develop a rash due to food sensitivities or diarrhea, Aquaphor helps to minimize their duration and severity.

I bought this as it was recommended to use after I got a tattoo.

I still had heaps left after the 2 weeks and been using it for everything with great results. Some scratches on my face disappeared after a few days. I find it's great for small cuts. My dog got bitten by my other dog (he was annoying him and he bit him lol). It would of cost $60 for a vet bill, instead we put this on the wound and it closed up after a few days.

I'm from Australia and I don't think they sell this here so I have to buy it online but it works well and great value

We had been using Boudreaux's Butt Paste since our daughter's birth, and it had worked quite well until she was about a year old. Now that she is eating a wider variety of foods and had to go through a course of antibiotics, she has been very prone to rashes. The butt paste helped, but she was having frequent enough bowel movements that it wasn't getting enough time in between to work its magic.

Enter Aquaphor. LOVE it. This stuff sticks so well that I don't even have to reapply when it's just a wet change. Now, her bottom is much better protected and has healed. Where every BM used to result in a nasty rash, she now either looks just fine or is only slightly pink (goes away by the next change with Aquaphor). I'm so relieved.

Great product.
