Review: I bought this product based on the few good reviews. I must say all the good reviews are true. I am posting this review after using the cream for 5 days. I must say this is the amazing product for the diaper rashes. I can see the rashes are healing, and my baby is feeling comfortable. I agreed that the product is a bit expensive, but trust me, parents, you won't regret buying it, especially when your baby will be free and comfortable from the rashes. It's a very thick paste, so it's required in minimum quantity, and it stays longer on the skin and heals the rashes. If any Indian parents are reading, it's like a thick 'Chuna.'. It stays on skin for a longer time and heals the rashes. It doesn't wipe out by the diaper or clothes. I use the wet wipes to remove it. I don't want to give any negative feedback to Himalayas diaper cream; maybe that cream works for other babies skin, but it doesn't show any healing on my baby's skin. Post using the Himalayas cream for more than 10 days, I end up buying the DISTIN cream, and I am glad that I bought the cream. THIS IS A MUST-BUY CREAM.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is the 16oz so expensive now?**
A: For other users who are wondering about the strong odor (disagreeable to some), I believe that this is the cod liver oil.  I am old enough to have been served a teaspoon of cod liver each morning at breakfast just before I drank my orange juice.  By the time the 50's rolled around and Dr. Spock had become more popular, dosing kids with straight cod liver oil was less popular.  But memories of its smell are burned into the olfactory senses.  Zinc Oxide has germicidal properties, but no odor.  I believe it is also used to shield the skin from UV rays in sunscreen formulations.
I have experienced total urinary incontinence for more than 10 years.  As part of my adaptation to this condition, I have researched most of the protective clothing, pads, lotions and creams to make daily life as agreeable and convenient as possible.  Dealing with skin which can become irritated after prolonged exposure to urine is always a challenge.  The Desitin Brand 16 oz. tubs of paste are among the best I routine treatments I have found.  But these package sizes have been discontinued by the manufacturer;  there is even rumor that Desitin has been varying the composition and/or the quantities of the ingredients in its healing paste.  As codfish is one of the world's most depleted fisheries, I can imagine that cod liver oil could be hard to come by.  If Desitin is using a synthetic oil, did they replicate to distinctive cod liver aroma too?
It's worth noting that infant bottoms are not the only market for a really effective healing and protective skin product.  The baby boom generation is coming into senescence (ie reaching retirement and increased health issues), among which is partial or total urinary incontinence.  I am fortunate to be able to consult with both suppliers and consumers of adult diapers, reusable and disposable, as well as lifestyle adjustments which do not depend solely on taking more medication or getting surgical intervention.
If Desitin was smart, it would develop new branding catering to an emerging and growing demographic.

**Q: What is the validity of the product?**
A: My little one got a diaper rash from another brand diaper cream at 5 weeks old .. I switched to Desitin maximum strength and he has never gotten another rash, he'll be two years old in two weeks. As a first time mom, I say "go for it"

**Q: I want question Amazon's sudden outrageous rise in price. $49.09 for a product available at most drug stores for ~$13, is ridiculous!**
A: This product is available in a few different strengths. The 40% zinc oxide is the strongest available. I doubt you can get maximum strength for $13 anywhere.

**Q: Why is this being sold for $39.95 when you can go to a store and purchase it for $14? Usually items are less on Amazon than in the stores.**
A: Different strengths. 40% zinc oxide is maximum  strength. Look at the label of the cheap stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by Z***A on 11 September 2019*

So I have switched back and forth between this and the boudreaux butt paste. After having my son, who has had many episodes of diarrhea. MANY lasting for 1 to 2 weeks. Constantly changing his diaper, and blow outs... He gets a horrible rash!!! I have found the desitin texture, actually stays on the skin better than any other formula.... You know that annoying sticky waxy feeling you get when the desitin gets on your clothes or skin?!! And it takes forever to wash it off?? Well yeah, that texture is what makes desitin soooo good. Between all my sons diarrhea episodes, a few an hour, the desitin has such a good barrier between his skin, and the diarrhea it helps protect the skin, so no moisture gets to it!!! PLUS it does what its supposed to do-HEAL the rash. I recently finished my tube of desitin, and had to go back to the butt paste, and the butt paste texture was sooo mild as soon as I tightened up his diaper the butt paste was wiped off. Never again, will I use anything but Desitin!! TIP: When buying desitin, just do yourself the favor and ALWAYS buy the max strength. What's the point of the regular stuff? Always keep it on hand, you never know what could happen. I used to pride myself on my first child never having a diaper rash... But my second child, has a problem with chronic diarrhea. That give him rashes.
