People are giving 1 star ratings because of shipping accidents and the amount of cream included in this buy?

Those are ridiculous reasons to be giving an amazing working product a low rating. It's not the creams fault :P

This product is absolutely fantastic and my baby is always super happy to be creamed up to prevent nasty diaper rashes. I'd recommend it to anyone with a baby. It's a must have.

We were using a couple of different ointments for the first few weeks, but then our baby got a diaper rash that was spreading fast and the ointments didn't seem to be helping. We pulled out a tube of Desitin Rapid Relief that someone had bought for us, and from the very first application it was already clearing up my son's diaper rash. We haven't used any other diaper rash cream since that day! Great product - I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

It's no instant cure-all, but when my 1 1/2 year old had an upset stomach which showed up in her diaper, and gave her the worst rash she has had to date, it helped soothe it right away and it was all but gone the next day.

This product works well. I used it two times and my daughter's diaper rash was gone. I recommended this product to my friend too.

When my daughter had a serious case of diaper rash, I freaked out and bought the Desitin Maximum relief. I thought: This girl has a serious case, she needs maximum strength! I found out such thinking was a mistake. Desitin Maximum is difficult to wipe off, so after a bowel movement, I rubbed harder as it was the only way to get her clean. Desitin rapid relief, however, is much easier to come off after a dirty diaper occurrence, and it does its thing of healing the diaper rash. Also this version of Desitin has a mild smell, while Desitim Maximum smells like grandma's medicine cabinet.

I have also used Butt Paste, and it is a fine product with better moisterizers than Desitin. But Desitin is half the cost, and it has about the same level of active ingredients as Butt Paste. So overall, I am sticking with Desitin Rapid Relief, as it provides the best value for my money.

My baby has very sensitive skin and gets a diaper rash every couple of days. I have used other creams but keep coming back to this one. I have been using this on her ever since she was a new born and she is eight months old now. It is gentle enough to use after every diaper change yet effective enough to handle bad rashes. I use it both as a rash preventive measure and for healing. I also use it on her skin and on my own for chronic dry areas. I love the fragrance too.

The Desitin creamy ointment has been the best protection against diaper rash we've found. It smooths on easily, stays put, and is an effective barrier against wetness, as long as you change the diaper within a reasonable period of time. It doesn't stink, it's easy to wash off, and it works.

I can't imagine to raise a kid without having Desitin...It's most frequently used product for the first year among all baby products...
Even i have used it for my under-arms...

If there were 10 stars in this rating category then i would give it to Desitin...

Desitin is great for preventing diaper rash. I am a nurse...the best way to apply Desitin is as a prevention measure. Either use it daily or at night when you know the baby will be sitting in pee awhile. If my baby is getting diarrhea, then I apply it at every change so the next poop doesn't actually touch the skin itself, just the cream. Most importantly, the skin must be DRY when you apply the cream. The cream creates a moisture barrier on the skin to keep out bad moisture (urine, poop), but make sure you are not locking in moisture (from wiping)...let the bottom air dry first. If your baby does get a rash, the product will burn some..I like to apply a bit of powder and then the cream...doesn't seem to hurt so much and still works to heal.

Hope this helps some new moms. The product is great when used like it is meant to.

This product works right away, calms the rash down, it honestly does its job... but I personally prefer Aveeno brand over it. It seems like Aveeno also keeps the skin better hydrated, Aveeno is also easier to clean off the skin. For example, if you give your baby a bath, Aveeno washes off afterwards, Desitin stays on. My baby developed his diaper rash from staying in a wet cloth diaper for too long during the night. I recommend to give your baby camomile baths and air baths, also take your baby outside and let him (and his bottom) warm up in the sun a bit, no sunscreen. That little exposure to the open sun seems to do magic to heal his skin. Do not over do it though not to get sunburn.
