Advantages: Provents and heals nappy rash

Disadvantages: A little more expensive than other treatments

I first discovered Bepanthen when my youngest child had a slight nappy rash I had never experienced the problem before with my other babies. I was going to buy Sudocream until my midwife recommended Bepanthen and gave me a small sample tube. Within hours his bottom was back to normal and he was back to his happy self. I have also used it on grazes after the children have fallen and again the results were excellent.

Bepanthen is a barrier cream for nappy rash it can also be used for sore or cracked nipples and is often recommended by tattoo artist when you have had a new tattoo.Bepanthen is very gentle on the skin so it can be used at every nappy change if required I didn‘t use it every nappy change as it soon got to work and cleared the rash up. It is so gentle it can be used even if you child has sensitive skin as it contains no fragrance, preservatives, colours or antiseptics.

Because it contains Pro Vitamin B5 it gently helps soothe and heal irritated sensitive skin while keeping it soft, smooth and moisturised. It works by forming a long lasting, transparent layer to continue protecting your child’s bottom even after the rash has gone.

When applying to the skin make sure that it is clean and dry before applying the ointment. If you are using it for nappy rash always wash the babies bottom after each nappy change and only apply a thin layer so that the skin is still able to breath.

The box is white and blue in colour with a pink stripe at one end going across. The tube is the same with the same design and the word ‘Bepanthen’ printed on it.
Once you open the tube you will have to piece the seal with the end of the cap and you will see the creamy coloured ointment inside. There is no scent and not too cold when it first comes into contact to the skin. It is easy to apply simply squeeze a small amount onto your finger and apply to irritated area it absorbs very quickly. Make sure you wash your hands after application and return the lid onto the tube. Store in a cool dry place below 25 c.

You will find a tube of Bepanthen will last a long time and can be stored for up to 2 years once opened.

Summary

I found this ointment a lot better than Sudocream as it was easier to apply, thinner and less greasy. It also seemed to clear up the rash a lot quicker. It is a little more expensive than other nappy rash creams but in my opinion it is a lot better.

Thank you for reading my review.
