NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! – Made my granddaughters hair thin and fall out. She went from thick to balding. Contacted the company and they said they were sending coupons for more products. Really?? That’s how they handle a person telling you of a serious issue. She will never purchase again and will be warning others. Show details
infected eczema – My son got an infected eczema at 4 weeks old and we were using only 2 weeks. It took a week diagnose and 2 hospital and midwife visits. His skin was really bad. Never use it again, I wish I listened to other mum about who's babies were affected by this product.
Positive reviews
great product – I have never had a problem with it, i have been using it on my son since he was born an will continue to use it. I use it for my sons body and hair he seems to love it! reasonably priced an has a great smell to it. 100% recommend!
Baby Loves It – It smells great, it's soft and light on my babies skin, I have never had a problem with the top to toe wash. Good price not costly like some other products. I brought the big bottle and used it since my baby was a newborn he is now 9 months old and we still have a lot left.
Great for adults with sensitive skin – I have never been able to use soap due to my ultra sensitive skin so I decided to give this a try and low and behold no sensitivities to this wash, guess I'm just one big clean baby now. I will be using this religiously every shower now and will remain squeeky clean, Yay.. Smells nice, mild, cleans well.
Negative reviews
Too harsh, caused dermatitis – My bub broke out in an awful rash from top to toe with this. I later discovered many people (including dermatologists and pediatricians) who recommended NOT to use this product because it is too harsh for babies. He improved as soon as I stopped it. I can't understand how it can be marketed for babies when it is so harsh.
Caused dandruff on my newborn – Tried this on my 6 week old baby . Prior to this I only ever used water. As soon as I used it he developed dandruff flakes all over his scalp. I gave this product a second go when he was 8 weeks old with the same result of a dry dandruffy scalp. I won't be using it again.
I do not recommend this for sensitive skins – I used this product for my older son he had no issue, But my second son showed severe reaction, He has seborrhoeic dermatitis which using this product make it worse, any time I used this in less than 24 hrs he was covered by rashes, I double checked with Pharmacist and It seems this product is too harsh on baby skin. still looking for an alternative replacement

Never harsh to my baby's skin – i love that this product didn't irritate my baby's skin. It has a little faint smell to it but it goes away after a while. it bubbles up easily and every bath turns a little play time because my little 1 year old loves taking bath. also, it comes with a lot of variants which is amazing!
BEST Body wash from baby - toddler – I have been using this wash since the day my first was born, he is now 3 and I am still using it to wash him and his little brother. Its great for making a bubble bath, great for washing body and for washing hair, I have not had one complaint from my boys about it being in their eyes as it just doesnt hurt them Price, good to use from new born through to toddler. Smells nice, Does not sting my kids eyes.
Excellent – I'd recommend this product for cleaning babies or leather car seats. Who knows, it might even work on a lounge suite too! Great for cleaning leather car seats, car smells like a baby. Baby smells like my car, it's so hard to tell them apart now. Show 4 replies
no help at all on problem skin – I received some of this for my baby shower. When my first daughter was born, I used this at first for her. I found it very convenient with a newborn, as it can be used all on the body and as a shampoo. Which is obviously much easier than having to use and buy 2 products. The pump pack was also great, especially at first when bathing felt like I… Read more
was all thumbs. However I had to change from this product pretty quickly. my daughter developed infantile eczema, and this just made it worse. I found it to be very drying on her skin and not soothing at all. My daughter is now 2 years old and I can still not use this on her, as her skin will quickly develop dry patches and turn back to eczema within 2-3 days use. The no tears function definitely works though. I remember my husband slipping his hand and literally putting a large amount in my daughters eye and this did not bother her at all. very convenient to use drying and irritating to infantile eczema
Bad – My babies pediatriction advised me that it is quite common for babies skin to react to this product. I have since spoken to other mothers and doctors and they have all said the same thing. I am suprised that such a well known trusted product like this can be a problem to a lot of babies. I would have thought Johnson's would have looked into this… Read more
to resolve this problem. Available at all major stores. Smells nice. Washes baby from head to toe eliminating the need for seperate shampoo and conditioner. This product caused my baby to develop an allergic reaction. Her body developed a rash.

Good – Johnsons head to toe baby wash was supplied to me at the maternity ward at the hospital. I like it because not only is it just a bath soap its made also to wash babys hair. I use this in the morning and johnsons bedtime bath in the night and I do prefer the bed time baths smell. Well known trusted brand, inexpensive, a little bit always goes a… Read more
long way, also comes in a pump bottle and it lasts a long time, head to toe baby wash does everything from soaping the baby to washing their hair. There is not a lot to dislike about Johnsons head to toe wash. I do prefer the other Johnson bedtime bath smells though.
Good – This is a nice gentle product that I used on my baby when quite young. It is relatively cheap to purchase and you do not need to use a lot of it to see any impact. I did not use it all the time and occasional use is best I think as sometimes just plain water is the best, especially for babies with sensitive skin. A nice product that is easy to… Read more
find at most stores, you do not need to use a lot of it and it does give a nice clean and leaves babies skin feeling nice. None, but I would not use it every day.
OK – I recieved this baby bath wash as a baby shower gift and loved using it until i ran out - it didn't last as long as i expected as i found i had to use a bit more than i would usually use to wash the baby. I havent bought this product since though as i found it was quite expensive for the small bottles and couldn't justify the price for a ovely… Read more
smelling baby. I ove the smell of this product. After a bath my baby a a lovely fresh scent and he seemed to be very mouisurised after his bath. Quite expensive for the small size bottle
OK – It's a nice product, but I don't recommend it for every day use, just because I feel it dries out the skin a bit. I even noticed this with my hands when I was using it to bath the bub! A nice product from a trusted brand, the bottle is pricy but goes a decent way, the texture is nice and it has a very soft, gentle fragrance which lingers after… Read more
bub's bath. Can be used in skin as well as in hair so a bonus as it's a two for one product. I felt it dried out the bub's skin a little bit, but went better in his hair.
Excellent – Great! Easy to use pump bottle, Comes in a big size so it lasts longer. Baby loves his baths with this, he is 3 weeks, so far so good! No dry skin, i use this on his head and body, smells beautiful! Makes heaps of bubbles and seems to make baby very clean. I have had no problems with this at all, and would recommend it to others. was used in… Read more
hospital also. Easy to use pump bottle, Comes in a big size so it lasts longer. Baby loves his baths with this, he is 3 weeks, so far so good! No dry skin, i use this on his head and body, smells beautiful! none so far
OK – This is a nice product and is smell really good. It is inexpensive and easy to use - the pump bottles are great and its so easy to squirt some on a cloth to give bub a quick clean if you are in a hurry (rather than a full bath). Unfortunately it dried her skin out too much and we had to use a fair bit of moisturizer to fix it all up. Maybe when… Read more
bub gets much older it might be heaps better but we won't use it on her until then as it is a little bit too harsh. Smells nice, inexpensive. This was recommended by the midwives in hospital. Seemed to dry bub's skin out a bit too much.
Bad – I am very sceptical when I hear that this is the no.1 recommended wash in maternity hospitals - I heard that the reason it is recommended is because of their clsoe relationship with Johnsons. Either way, I did try it and was not happy at all - it made bub's skin and scalp very dry. It smells nice and I decided to try it as it was a well known… Read more
brand that was recommended by the midwives at the hospital. It dried my bub's skin and scalp terribly. I eventually stopped using it as bub's skin got so bad. I now use QV Wash, which is amazing.
Good – A nice product for everyday use. I try to buy it when it is on special at Big W or Target, so it tends to be very good value for money (especially with the small amount that is used each time). Have not had any tears yet from using it on baby. Long lasting (only need to use one or two squirts for each bath time). Being a Johnson & Johnson product,… Read more
I felt like I could trust the product and it would be gentle for baby's skin. I find that if I use it too often on baby's hair, the scalp does tend to get a little dry. I try and only wash the hair with it every seven to ten days.
OK – I like the fragrance of this product. It didn't irritate my babies skin, but it did make her scalp dry and flakey when I used it as a shampoo. I used 4 pumps as per directed on the bottle, but it didn't make many bubbles. I guess that is why it is gentle. Smells nice. Expensive unless bought on sale. Gave baby a dry scalp. Have to use alot.

Excellent – i have tried a couple of other baby baths and even though you do you the same amout of product they just don't bubble the same as johson annd johnson, i wouldn'd use any other brand of baby wash, it is the best. it is the no. 1 recomended baby bath soap from maturnity hospitals, the price is pretty good specially when you can get them on sale which is often if you check the big four. none yet that i have come across.
Excellent – Great product, easy to use, smells nice and very gentle. I also found my baby had dry skin when using another brand of wash which then cleared up with this one so I was very happy about that. Gentle cleanser that is easy to use, I like the pump pack so I can squirt it in the bath while holding my baby with the other hand. No problems with… Read more
irritation and it foams up well so I use it as a baby shampoo also. I use quite a lot - four pumps per bath as directed, but you could probably use less.
Excellent – A real great product that has doen both my kids for most of their little lives with no problems,no skin irritation or sore eyes Really worthwhile Easy as to use as you only have to use 1 product Doesnt ever seem to be on sale
Excellent – This is a lovely baby wash and I used it when my baby was newborn before moving to the bedtime bath which is a lot more fragrant. It soaps up really nicely and you only needed a small amount to create nice smelling bubbles. I also use it to wash my baby's hair as it's just as good as a shampoo and the larger size pump bottle makes it really easy… Read more
to use with one hand whilst bathing baby with the other hand. Highty recommended! soap-free formula so is good for newborns or sensitive skin can't fault it
Good – I have always used johnsons products on both my children. This initally was because its the name that sticks in your head and has been around for ages. But I have found it to be great. This one doesnt have much of a smell though and does not lather very well. Other then that I can not complain. It does the job, and although some people find it… Read more
can dry out bubs skin I have not had this problem. You can also buy this product in bulk bottles which is great for saving money great for baby, affordable and you can buy in bulk doesnt lather to well
Terrible – I first used this poduct when it was provided in hospital, after the birth of my son. My son's skin quickly started getting red whenever i sued any Johnson's products on his skin, so i made the switch to other brands which were much more gentle on baby's skin. I would not recommend any products from the Johnson's range, to use on babies as they… Read more
are much too harsh, and full of chemicals. nice smell, well priced. terrible product for baby's skin i have found! johnson's products in general seem much too harsh to use on baby skin.
Excellent – Is the only product I have used with my baby! Was advised by my hospital and midwives that this is the only product you should use with babies. All other baby products are useless. The companies just want to get your money. Product lasts a long time and makes baby clean and smells great. My baby is always clean and smelling great after baths.… Read more
Couldnt recommend the product any more!
When we purchase this product, we buy in bulk because it is great. Some places offer buy 2 get one free. Highly recommended! Is a great all over body wash for babies. :) Is a great product!
Bad – We bought the Johnson's products as part of a new born set, My son immediately had reactions to all the products. Had to give them away, and then the people I gave them to threw them out as they had the same issue. different size containers Doesn't smell particularly nice
Excellent – This was first given to my baby in hospital and I used it for a while before I upgraded to a separate shampoo and body wash. Its good for new mums who aren't sure what product to buy for the newborn. This is a good all rounder. Its gentle for newborns. Doesn't froth much.
Good – This product is useful for both baby and mom because its gentle enough for babies skin but also leaves mums skin feeling as soft as babies. ite body wash is also lightyl scented without being over the top, even my boyfriend commented on the smell. It also doesnt irritate senitive skin and even when it gets in your babies eyes it doesnt seem to… Read more
irritate them or hurt them in any way, in fact i accidently brushed some water down over babies face containing the body wash and it didnt effect her. Because its inexpensive and worked really well i will definately use it again. Sweet smell; Doesnt irritate babies eyes
Good – This is a lovely smelling all over wash for babies who don't have sensitive skin or parents with issues about "natural" products as this is far from natural. It didn't irritate my babies skin though and left her clean, smelling lovely and not dried out. Lovely gentle fragrance Full of chemicals
Excellent – Have used this with my daughter both in the bath and the shower. Even when it washes right over her face, it doesn't seem to irritate her eyes. Leaves her skin silky and smooth. Pleasant scent, doesn't irritate baby's skin or eyes
Bad – Overall i would prefer to spend money on natural organic chemical free products for my babies delicate skin or alternatively use simple sorbolene instead of a product that i found dries out their skin and can cause a slight redness or rash. I will use this product when i get given sample packs but i only use it on myself. A good all round head to… Read more
toe product that i use myself but not for my kids. Dislike the chemicals in this product on soft delicate sensitive babies skin and therefore do not use it on my babies at all.
