Advantages: Great for babies with sensitive skin. Good value for money.

Disadvantages: Doesn't lather up much

My son suffered from mild eczema as a baby so I needed a gentle bath product that wouldn't irritate his skin. My mother-in-law worked at Boots and recommended that I try 'Boots Expert Baby Sensitive Head To Toe Wash' (£1.99 for 300ml bottle). On the bottle it said that the product was developed by dermatologists and paediatrician-approved. It also advertised that it was suitable for delicate newborn skin, including dry skin conditions such as eczema. It sounded just the thing so we gave it a try.

It was easy to apply - simply flip the lid and squeeze onto your palm or a sponge. The plastic bottle was designed to be easy grip (which is useful with wet hands!). It didn't lather up very much but seemed to give a thorough clean and was fine for washing hair too. The results were good, with no eczema flare-ups after bath time. We continued using the product every other day until my son was about 12 months and the eczema wasn't a problem any more. I would definitely recommend this product - although very bad eczema cases may need specialist creams and washes on prescription. It was good value for money, lasted a long time and left my son's skin feeling clean and moisturised after bath time.

Another advantage is that head to toe wash is an all-in-one product - so there's no need to buy a separate shampoo (although we did move onto Johnsons shampoo eventually as it lathered up much better). It is also no-tears.

Summary: A mild cleansing wash suitable for sensitive skin and newborns.
