Our 14 mo old son has very dry skin. We live in Minnesota and winter is very bad for baby skin. We bought a 3-pack from Amazon, good deal!, and his skin immediately got a lot better. I would highly recommend it to parents with dry-skinned baby.
One concern I hope Aquaphor would improve is the container. As we can see from the picture, the bottle/container has two “sharp” edges. My son was playing with the bottle the other day. He waved the bottle and made a pretty big scratch on my face. I wish Aquaphor could round up the edges.

My daughter has battled eczema since 3 months old. We started with Aquaphor, then tried almost every “natural/organic” product under the sun, then found out she had a nut/peanut allergy and had to avoid nut/seed oils in skin products–used prescription steroids to control severe outbreaks, and settled with using prescription Mimyx twice a day with Aquaphor layered on top–this was the most effective, but we were going through a large Aquaphor container from Costco ($12.75) and a tube of Mimyx ($40.00 co-pay) each month. Then… my husband said he heard about this lotion called Renew from Melaleuca–that it is supposed to be very effective on eczema, we ordered for the first time last month, have been applying it twice daily on my daughter’s arms/legs and her skin has NEVER in her entire life looked better. And it’s much less money–I haven’t figured out yet exactly how much we will go through each month, but I’m estimating around a total of $20.00 versus the $52.75 we were spending previously. The catch with Melaleuca is that if you want to receive the member price, you pay a $29.00 one time membership fee then have to buy a monthly quota usually about $60.00 worth of household/beauty products. We are going to order several travel size tubes this next month and pass them on to the several families we know battling eczema and see if it helps–what I would do if you aren’t sure about committing to a monthly order is buy a bottle at the non-member price and try it. It’s no more cost than a tub of Aquaphor. This will be the first summer that my daughter can go outside without long sleeves and long pants on. It’s definitely worth a try.

This is a wonderful product but way way to expensive. Buy the store brand …it has more petroleum jelly and less lanolin but works just as good.

Not sure if I was biased or uninformed, but all I can say is I was told to use Aquaphor on my two year old son as early as when he was before one, for his skin condition- diagnosed as “Atopic Dermatitis”-that he was born with. A good friend of mine also recommended it strongly as if it was the only miracle product out in the market to cure my boy’s very persistent and down right agonizing problem. As soon as we think we have the problem under controlled, it soon rears its ugly head again at us and came back more forcefully than ever. Of course, we consulted number of other specialists, such as dermatologists besides my pediatrician and used products such as baby oil with aloe, Cetaphil, CeraVe, triamcinolone and one other doctor prescribed cortisone product. By now, we are at wit’s end and for sure, we have ALWAYS used Aquaphor in the mix, but the condition wax and wane as it deems pleased. Finally my husband, who was very much of a chemical compound buff-at least more so than I am-looked at the ingredient and noticed Petroleum as the main active ingredient. Maybe he was even correct to think that petroleum, although might provide good skin barrier, does not ultimately treat or cure one’s skin condition. It probably just allows the skin time to heal itself through its applications. So, all in all, it might be a good adjunctive product but definitely not worth the hype or even the price tag.

My son had food allegies and eczema since he was one month old. Now he is 4 yrs old. Due to this he gets very severe itching sensation and at times he can scratch so much that he would cut himself. I used to use Vaselline earlier but it would not heal quickly. So once I tried this one and it has done wonders. The wounds do heal with this one and it also keeps his skin moist and soft for longer so he does not get the itching sensation. Doctors are amazed that I do not use any cortisone cream and his skin is still in good condition. All I do is cut his nails carefully every week and apply Aquaphor ointment 3-4 times daily all over the body. I would highly recommend this.
