Dr. Smith’s® Diaper Rash Ointment

Macaroni Reviews

Dr. Smith sent us some Diaper Rash Ointment to review.

Here's the product description:
Being a new parent is like living in a familiar and a completely foreign world at the 
same time. Babies bring a bundle of joy, along with unexpected challenges -‐ diaper 
rash being one of the most common. This can make the life of a new parent 
(actually, any parent) a little overwhelming and stressful. Dr. Smith’s wants you to be 
prepared when that dreaded diaper rash appears. For 45 years, Dr. Smith’s Diaper 
Rash Ointment has helped parents soothe their baby’s irritated bottoms, offering a 
premium blend of ingredients to help treat even the most severe diaper rash…fast. 
It goes on like a cream and protects like an ointment, is easy to apply and wash off, 
and is gentle on a baby’s skin. Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment: Developed by a 
pediatrician and approved by moms.

 
What I like about Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment is that it goes on smooth and washes off easily-- off both baby's bottom and your hands. It also doesn't have an unpleasant smell. I use cloth diapers, so I did a little research as to whether or not Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment is cloth diaper "safe." What I found is that it is recommended that you wash in hot water. I opted to use a liner anyway and haven't had any trouble. Strangely enough, my son who does not normally get diaper rash, had a little redness and I was able to test out this product.  Any signs of a rash cleared right up!

Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment can be used for more than just diaper rash. You can use it on dry, cracked hands or chapped lips.

Macaroni Mamas share their thoughts on Dr Smith's:

"Dr Smith’s is my new favorite diaper cream.  It’s so silky smooth and doesn’t leave a sticky residue.  I even grabbed it the other day for my chapped lips; it worked like a charm."

"We tried the ointment for the 1st time yesterday. My son had a mild rash so I put it on him before he went to bed. The rash was gone in the morning. I loved how it wasn't greasy. I got some on his changing pad and it was difficult to get off, but I am sure it will come off in the wash. Thank goodness we have not had a severe rash, but if it works as well on the severe rash as it did on the mild, we will be switching :)"

"I have used the Dr. Smiths Diaper Rash Cream and it works really well. He had a bad rash and it cleared it up overnight. I use it everytime now because it keeps the rashes away."

"I have been using the diaper rash cream and it works great... my poor baby had a red bottom from an ugly bug going around and after I noticed and have been using the cream he hasn't complained at all. I love this cream so happy I got it :)"
