Customer Reviews of Desitin Maximum Strength Paste, 4-Ounce(Pack of 2)
Customer Review: Works well for my child
Summary: 4 Stars
My son is now 2 years old, and in his time of using diapers we have sampled several different diaper ointments in search of the one that works best for us. My favorite so far, and the one we have used the most, is Desitin Maximum Strength Original Paste (I usually buy the 16 oz tub for the house, with a smaller tube for the diaper bag), with the other Desitin formulation (in the blue packaging) in 2nd place. This formula is thicker than the blue-packaged one. They have worked very well to prevent diaper rash, or heal it if he does get one.
I do have misgivings about some of the ingredients [BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), methylparaben, and "fragrance"], based on current concerns over their possible health effects, but I have not yet found another ointment with ingredients I am more comfortable with that works as well for my child. (If you have recommendations, I'm happy to hear them!)

Treating Diaper Rash in Three Easy Steps
Diaper rash is a common and easily treatable part of a baby's life. Trusted by more pediatricians and moms than any other brand, DESITIN cream creates a barrier to relieve the discomfort of diaper rash on contact.
Three important steps can help bring diaper rash under control - gentle cleansing, ensuring the skin is dry, and protecting the skin from further irritation.
1. Clean your baby's skin
Always keep your baby's skin as clean and dry as possible. That means changing wet or soiled diapers right away. Since you may not always know when your baby needs a change, check the diaper at least every two hours. In newborns or babies with diaper rash and/or diarrhea, you will need to check even more frequently.
Whether you use wipes or a washcloth, it's important to avoid further irritating damaged skin. Use your wipe or washcloth to gently pat skin, being careful not to rub.
2. Allow diaper area to dry
Once you have finished cleaning your baby's bottom, pat it dry (no rubbing!) before applying a thick barrier of protection. Or, better yet, allow your baby to go without a diaper for a little while to let her bottom air dry and then apply a thick barrier of protection when you do re-diaper.
3. Apply a DESITIN diaper rash treatment to protect baby's tender skin
Applying a barrier ointment or paste protects the skin from further injury. It will also help prevent friction from the diaper. Apply a thick layer of a zinc oxide diaper rash treatment, such as DESITIN Maximum Strength Original Paste or DESITIN Rapid Relief Cream, at each diaper change to soothe and protect your baby's irritated skin.
How Much DESITIN Ointment Should You Apply?
Using your fingers, apply a thick layer to the entire diaper area, as though you were frosting a cake. Try to touch baby's irritated skin as little as possible. Be generous in applying DESITIN products. DESITIN products are safe when used as directed and may be used at every diaper change to help treat and prevent diaper rash.
