Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment Vs Johnsons Soothing Naturals Nappy Cream


Im a mummy first, blogger second. 

My 16 month baby little girl has had nappy rash for around 2 months now. It is getting much better and is almost gone. I have tried both Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment and Johnsons Soothing Naturals Nappy Cream to try and get rid of it. 
Here is my review on both products. 

When she first came out with the rash we used sudocrem. This didnt last long as we found it very dry and didnt do a thing to the rash but make it look sore. 

When browsing my local discount store i they were selling this Johnsons cream for 0.99p
It comes in a lovelt pale green tube that is the perfect size for any change bag. I thought for 0.99p i will give anything a try. Well, not anything but something from a reliable well know household brand. I dont just put anything on my babys tushy. 
The product is white and isnt too thick in consistanct but doesnt run of your finger when trying to apply it. There is a scent to it which is quite nice. Its not too strong or overpowering. The plastic tube makes it easy to get the product out, just a little squeeze and you have enough. This retails for around £2.55 for 100ml from Boots. 
Bepanthen is a completly different type of product. Also white, it feels very thick and much harder to spread, this isnt very good when you have a wriggley toddler. It feels much more oily compared to the Johnsons cream. It comes in a sort of metal/aluminium tube which tends to tear when you bend so some of the product does squirt out the sides. There is no scent to the product which is nice. This retails for around £2.65 for 30g from Boots.  

As Amys nappy rash hasnt 100% cleared, i cant say either of these products are the perfect ones to use.  Its taken me almost 2 months to get rid of her rash. They both do bring the rash down tons, but neither has completly beaten it. The Johnsons product is the cheaper of the two. 


I do find myself reaching for the Johnsons product more than the Bepanthen as i find it much easier to use.
