7.7 / 10Worth it
A well-known Bayer ointment that won the 2024 Mother&Baby Award for Best Nappy Cream, was named MadeForMums' best for everyday protection (Gold, 2023 Awards), and scores well with Mumsnet testers on ease of use and effectiveness.
It holds 4.5/5 on Amazon.sa across a large number of ratings, is inexpensive and is sold directly by Amazon.sa.
It loses points because it suits prevention and mild irritation better than severe rash, and it was not a top pick in Good Housekeeping UK's test.
We have not tested it ourselves; this verdict is based on independent reviews and store data.
