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 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.

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 baby has eczema. I tried every natural cream and ointment I that I read might be beneficial. Coconut oil, calendula, seaweed balm, olive oil, evening primrose oil, even emu oil. Yes, the oil of the emu, the giant bird. When my husband brought this stuff home I refused to use it because I didn't want to put petroleum on her skin. Well, turns out it is the only thing that clears it up. We go from red and blistery to soft and clear overnight.

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!

For (mild) eczema, this is one of the best. It is very greasy, but it gets the job done. Never mind the "baby" label, this is the same as regular Aquaphor.

This was effective at improving my eczema but it was much slower than the effect CeraVe + Aquaphor have. If you have extremely dry skin I suggest using both products in conjunction. First apply the CeraVe fresh out of the shower. Allow it to dry a bit and put a thin layer of Aquaphor on top.

My 2.5yr old get super dry skin, almost eczema on his face n to of his hands, this ointment was the fix, I use it on him twice a day, it takes few days for his skin to become smooth again, n if he puts it in his mouth I dont have to rush him to hospital! I recommend this to all parents!

My infant has extremely dry skin, especially in winters. Someone suggested Aquaphor to me and it's worked wonders! It's a little greasy, sure, but it soaks in fast enough.
We apply it right after a bath for best results, and sometimes more than once a day.

I'd highly recommend this product for sensitive baby skin
