The best of the best – The best nappy rash cream you’ll ever use. Nothing comes close. Tattooists recommend it to heal new tattoos! It’s just the quickest healing ointment, has a lovely smooth texture and a little goes a long way. Have used it on three babies and I swear by it. Show details

Caused reaction – I used this on my face for dry skin but it caused a reaction. I think I could be allergic to something in it though as it made me swell up a bit and felt very irritating. Show details

A young mothers staple – After five babies you get to know which creams work and which ones don’t! I can safely say that this cream works as a preventative of nappy rash if you use it every nappy change. You definitely need something stronger if you have nappy rash. However, I feel that this is an amazing product, and every mother needs it. Show details

Sticky and smells awful – Sticks to your hands after applying and the smell of it is disgusting its nothing like it used to be. The only reason I've given it three stars is because it does its job even if it does take a few days. Great for rashes, broken skin on feet too. Show details

Alleviates rash fast – My baby hasn't suffered from nappy rash too often, however when he has Bepanthen is my go to ointment as it alleviates and clears the rash after one application (in my babies case). The smell isn't great, but it does the job. Show details

Bepanthan – The Bepanthan ointment is quite efficient in providing a barrier in preventing nappy rash. It's reduced redness and prevents twos from sticking to babies bits. It comes in various sizes and the tube makes it quite easy to apply to a wiggly worm.  Show details

Wonderful healing properties – We were first introducing to Bepanthen Ointment when our little one was only 2 months old. It was recommended by a paediatrician due to nappy rash. We were pleasantly surprised by the product, no fragrance and easy to spread. It helped immediately relieve our little ones discomfort and the rash was 90% gone the following morning. We now use it regularly.

Used to be number 1 – Another product changed for the worse not better, this was incredibly disappointing as it’s a daily use product for rashes for me. This was a couple of years ago now, but the issue is it just didn’t work anymore and from memory I think it burned me (might be the other baby cream). Regardless it stopped working and it’s so hard to find one that does without irritation now.

Was a gift from mommy friend works well for bubs – I do use it for heaps of purpose from rashes to itch even little ones are tooldler and school aged it's something for them soothing and not stingy. As its has a very mild ingredient to it's packet list. So kindly read labels properly especially little newborn. So far very useful oitment.

Didnt work for us – Caused rashes on my baby. When she used sudocream, or Kenkai (which is the best cream) she had nothing, whenever i used bepanthen, i tried about 3 times and it caused rashes, she would only pee and the rash would appear. So would not buy it again. Terrible, really sadden by what it did to my bub's skin

Amazing stuff for bubby – Bought this for my newborn - used it on his delicate skin to prevent nappy rash. It’s so gentle and easy to apply, not sticky like other creams. At the first sign of any redness at change time I dab a little on and by the next nappy change the redness is gone. A tube of this stuff lasts forever as you only need a little dab. Highly recommend having this stuff on hand for your new arrival.

This is great – I love the Bepathen Ointment as my baby can heal red skin overnight. This is good to treat for burns on the skin as well as cuts (after being desinfected). I have used it for dry skin too (similar to eczema) or to moisturise my dry hands after washing the dishes.

I steal it from my Baby for my own Chaffing – Bepathen in our household is more commonly used for my husbands tattoo's or my chaffing. Rarely used for our son. Great product very versatile. We've also used it on minor cuts and grazes ect. I can see bepathen being apart of our groceries order for many years to home. Bit of a household staple really.

Used it for tattoo and sunburn – I was told to buy Bepanthen Antiseptic Cream 100g (different blue and pink packaging from this photo) for my tattoo and apply EXTREMELY SPARINGLY to the tattoo, a small dab for half my leg. It has worked like a charm, my tattoo healed fantastically and I decided to rub some on my forehead when I got sunburned recently. After the sunburn, wrinkles… Read more

would appear on my forehead so I lathered some Bepanthen on it, left it on during work and on the second day, it felt as if I never had a sunburn on the previous day before. GREAT product, I have already recommended it to my friends.

Life saver! Staple parenting product – I've been using Bepanthem since my first child was born 7 years ago. Never used anything that heals nappy rash as quick. Creating a thick barrier to stop bodily fluids get on the rash and healing it in no time. It is super affordable and lasts forever. We've only bought 4 tubes over that 7 years but have consistently used daily. Well worth the money

Perfect! Absolute staple in our family! – I absolutely love Bepanthen. I use it at every nappy change with my son and it is the only thing that prevents nappy rash and never causes it (unlike sudocrem, curash or vaseline). I love that it doesn't feel heavy or greasy like other nappy creams! It is also compatible with cloth nappies (and washes out very easily!) I often buy in bulk so I… Read more

never run out and I often have 6+ 100g tubes in the nursery; my only wish is that I would love if they made an even bigger tube of it!

Useful for so much – The first time I tried this was about ten years ago. I got a silly little tattoo when I was drunk and it quickly became infected. The doctor told me to put Bepanthan on it. I did as instructed and it cleared up considerably in only a day. It looked completely clear by day 3 and this was after a week of getting redder and grosser by the day BEFORE… Read more

I decided to see a doctor.

Fast forward a decade and I'm using it on my baby boys behind! At the first sign of redness I'll use this cream and it'll be cured by the bedtime nappy change. One time after being out all day without a nappy change he had quite a bit of welty redness to fix so I did the usual application and then another later at night, I made the overnight treatment quite thick and by morning the redness was almost completely gone and he seemed much more comfortable.

Every now and then my husband asks to borrow it after a jog... I don't know why and at this point I'm afraid to ask. But I think he likes it too.

I only wish it was cheaper, but on the other hand, if I'm being honest they could double the price and I’d still buy it, thats how much I love it, one tube costs about AUD$10 but it lasts a long time since I usually only need a tiny bit to fix whatever problem we’re facing at the time.

Not good for Tattoos – Last week I got a new Tattoo and was told to buy this stuff,I think it was too thick and sticky when I put it on and some of the colour dropped out. I wouldn't recommend to use this stuff on your new Tattoo. It also ruined my clothes and sheets.

Perfect product for getting rid of rashes – Initially was using sudocream and bubs quickly got a minor nappy rash. I was recommended to use Bepanthen which worked a treat and quickly got rid of the nappy rash. It is oil based and so quickly dissolves into baby's skin... Sudocream is cream based. Since using Bepanthen, bubs has not got any nappy rashes so far! Would highly recommend over sudocream.

Not too bad – I snatched my stomache due to the belt making me itch so I went to the chemist and bought some benthanthim and found it pretty good at settling down the itch so I bought some more after development of a heat rash and found bentanthum quite soothing at a rapid rate  Show reply

great for tattoos! – i used this cream for a tattoo and i didn't have any problems with scabbing. maybe it was how you applied it, or other factors, like the placement on the body of the tattoo, that made your skin more sensitive to scabbing.

A GREAT TRIED AND TESTED PRODUCT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME – It is great to see this product is still on the market after 27 years. I used Bepanthen on my babies bottoms and it cleared it up in a couple of days. I also used it in my nipples when they were chaffed and raw from the baby sucking, it really helped.

amazing – I have been using this since I was little for various skin problems over the years. Most recent is I tried a new facial cleanser - benzac and it was way to strong it burnt my face! My face was all dry and itchy so I tried moisturizer and it done nothing, mum suggested the bepanthen I put it on before bed and woke up and my skin was back to normal. I'm in love!! worked so fast Nothing

Great for nappy rash! – I'm a FTM! I tried this product after revving a few recommendations. It had cleared up my babies ugly nappy rash within one day and since iv been using it everyday!!! It's amazing and you can't go wrong with trying it out! Sudocream is good however this works wonders for bad nappy rash, Inexpensive, works well, reliable Not available most places

Doesn't work! – I know this works for some bubs, but it makes my daughters rash worse! I have given it a go four times as everyone tells me it's great, but it definitely doesn't work for my daughter, her rash become weepy and it doesn't work to prevent it either. I now use coconut oil! Nice texture Too oily, makes no difference to my baby

Waste of space and money – It does not work. Not even for one second. Pathetic. 100 grams of a nappy cream that does not work but praised by so many. Curash i would rate worthy but Bepanthen is useless and a horrible unmarketable name. Quality matters much more to me thsn quantity and i am aware this brand comes in various sizes. I regret buying it.

Love, love, love! – My bub never really had nappy rash, but when she had a mild tummy bug recently, I noticed during nappy changes that her skin was getting quite red. I started using Bepanthen after every nappy change and after only 2 applications, I could see a big improvement. I was surprised how fast it worked! It spreads easily, doesn't smell of chemicals and… Read more

available from the supermarket as well. Now I use it only in the evening before my daughter goes to bed and it really creates a barrier that protects her skin from irritation. I would definitely recommend it! Effective yet gentle, easy to find

Bepanthen First Aid Antiseptic Cream stops scabbing/ crusting on Tattoos – I was told to use this cream to prevent my tattoo from scabbing/ crusting. I applied it about 4 times daily, and i didn't get any scabbing whatsover. It was excellent! With creams i was told to use for a previous tattoo, i got lots of ugly scabbing, I didn't find Bepanthen any more expensive than other similar creams. We are happy that it has… Read more ·  1

Tried using for ezcema and also eyebrow feathering repair – I thought I'd try this at first for relief for small patches of ezcema on my face. My skin ended up reacting and turned the dry patches into red patches so that wasn't so good but it was good for using to keep the eyebrow feathering area moist after the treatment. Good that its a Clear ointment (rather than white paste)

Great product for irritable skin – A product that works on nappy rash and irritating skin. Only a small amount is needed and sooths the rash instantly. My daughter suffers from eczema and this cream has helped her immensely. A must buy for parents of kids with nappy rash and/or irritable skin. Only needed to be applied sporadically. Inexpensive, reliable, happy baby!

no more nappy rash! – We don't use this ointment every day, only when the bottom is a bit pink. On daily basis we use Bepanthen cream before the little one goes to bed at night (He sleeps 11-12 hours, so I just don't want to take the chance!) You only need to use a tiny bit, it might be dearer than other cream, but for per usage price, it ends up cheaper! It does not stain clothes and it's so light, it's easy to apply. Also it smells nice!

Terrible – I don't see much use in this cream. It is full of chemicals. Doesn't have any healing properties. Is expensive. Didn't seem to work at all for me. I think some hospitals push it because they are paid to? Easy to wipe off Doesn't seem to do anything Full of chemicals
