Reviews: Desitin VS. A+D Ointment.

Desitin"Rapid Relief"

http://www.desitin.com/desitin-rapid-relief-cream

  

WHAT THEY SAY IT DOES:

• "Relieves diaper rash discomfort from the very first use
• Creamy formula that glides on smoothly and wipes off easily
• Acts as an anti-inflammatory, reducing redness and irritation of sensitive and inflammatory-prone skin
• Forms a protective barrier on the skin
• Provides moisturization and emolliency to the skin"

 

 WHAT I SAY IT DOES:

I honestly will never try another ointment again unless I was paid to do so. This cream has helped my baby so much, wayyy better than the A&D lotion I was using before (read below for that review.) It really does everything they claim! I have a big tube which I leave on her changing table and small one which I carry in her diaper bag. I usually only put it on her before she goes to sleep for the night (since she will stay in the same diaper for many hours) unless for some odd reason she gets irritated during the day.

pros:

reduces redness and irritation

its pediatrician reccommended

hypoallergenic

easy to apply and wipe off
a little goes a long way

cons:
none!

A+D Ointment "Original Ointment"

http://www.myadbaby.com/

WHAT THEY SAY IT DOES:

"A+D Original Ointment helps prevent diaper rash by creating a protective barrier on your baby's skin. Use it at every changing to help avoid another diaper rash. The special formula includes vitamins A and D and lanolin and is gentle enough to use every day."

 WHAT I SAY IT DOES:

I thought this was going to be a home run when it comes to treating my babys irritation and redness since it really helped me to heal my tattoos. Unfortunately, it wasn't. It is gel-like and I like that its clear, but it doesn't really heal the way  I expected it to.

pros:

clear colored

gel like texture

cons:
hard to spread
doesn't heal the skin quickly
 

my rating:

the bottom line:

I would much rather Desitin over A+D. Desitin heals faster and is easier to apply. I like A+D because its clear color and it worked on my tattoos but when it comes to diaper rash and such Desitin has worked a lot better than A+D. I havent tried the other A+D formula but Desitin is truly amazing and works so well that I'm not interested in trying anything else! Maybe Ill try the other Desitin formulas. Ill keep you posted!

thanks for stopping by!
