Review: Huggies Natural Baby Wipes

Baby Wipes are a great help for cleaning up the many different messes that baby's make. It's just as well Huggies® Baby Wipes are not only soft and gentle on your baby's skin but also thick and strong enough to deal with even the worst clean ups!


Huggies® baby wipes are made with natural fibres* - 76% pulp. They are also soap, alcohol and fragrance free.

In addition to being soft and gentle on your baby's skin, Huggies® wipes are thick enough to deal with the worse kind of clean up, and we have all seen what they look like! None of us have any great use for a wipe that falls apart mid way through the job! Huggies® baby wipes provide the gentlest care possible and are also large enough to cover your whole hand so you'll need less wipes for each change.

Every Huggies® Baby Wipe is individually treated for even, moist distribution. This means you won't get dry, hard wipes at the top of packs and saturated, soggy wipes at the bottom! Every Huggies® Baby Wipe will be the same - soft, moist and effective.

My Review:
Pros:

• Fragrance Free
• Hard top cover

Cons:

• Poop could leak at the holes of the wipe
• Too wet, Cant dry bottom quickly
• Might give rashes
• Not that thick

Overall: Did not really like the wipes, Was not efficient in cleaning baby's bottom as the poop kept leaking to my hand. There are other better wipes out there that is far more cheaper as well.

Rating: 1/5

Tips: The things to look out for in a wipe is the wetness then the thickness. Its no use to get a wipe that is too wet when you clean baby's bottom because it could contribute to rashes easier. Even if the wipe is more to the dry side but its thick enough to wipe away, its better like that.

Review: Avent Soothing Magic Cream

Description
With allantoin and milk proteins
The all-in-one solution to your baby's daily skincare needs. Apply to face and body to moisturise, remove dry patches, and help heal rashes.

Features
♦ Hypoallergenic
♦ Mild enough for the most sensitive skin

My Review:
Pros: 

• Smell is nice and pleasant
• Easily Absorbed
• Not Sticky
• Not greasy

Cons:

• Not moisturising enough
• Didn't clear rashes
• Didn't remove dry patches
• Not suitable for my baby because it did not work

Overall: This was recommended to me twice! Well, you should know by now that my baby is struggling with rashes. Yup! Till now! The very first moment it all popped out, I went straight to kiddy palace to ask them if there were any suitable product to heal rashes fast. They showed me this product and told me that there wasn't any bad feedback as of yet. So I went ahead and bought it and went to another baby shop to ask them the same thing. Surprisingly, They also showed me this product and so i showed them and said. Yeah, I actually just bought so it must be really good huh. I went home and smeared it all over his body - No effect. Next day, I smeared it all over again - No effect. I tried it for a week plus but there were only minor improvements. I even recommended it to someone in a forum, thinking it might help her baby from the good recommendations people had been saying. Well, at least it didn't get worse! So then, i decided that i was a good product but its not suitable for my baby. I am now using it on myself as a regular lotion.

Rating: 2/5

Tips: Try out products even if there are people who say it doesn't work because every baby is different. We'll never know what's suitable for your baby until you try it. 

Will I repurchase?: No

Review: California Baby Calendula Cream

Calendula Cream Nature's First-Aid!® 
California Baby® Calendula Cream is excellent for use on general diaper area and may be used on face and body for extra-dry or sensitive skin. Botanically based, our light and fluffy Calendula Cream contains the ingredient of Calendula, which has been used to soothe the skin for centuries. California Baby® Calendula Cream offers deep hydration, absorbs completely, and leaves skin feeling satiny smooth. Use daily for everyday protection and especially when the air is dry and baby's skin needs relief. The entire family can benefit from this soothing, multi-purpose cream. 

My Review:
Pros:

• Contains organic and sustainably grown vegan ingredients 
• Soothing
• Great for Rashes, Baby acne, and diaper area 
• Hypo-allergenic 
• Works very well on dry and chapped skin 
• Light and fluffy consistency
• Absorbs fast and not greasy
• Great Smell

Cons:

• Expensive!

Overall: If you ask me for the best all around treatment cream, this is #1! My baby had baby acne, heat rash and diaper rash and when I use this, results could be seen fast. I was very happy with this product and used it religiously all over his body everyday. However, the tub was all gone in less than a month. I knew I had to try different products to see which ones could be comparable or cheaper. 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Its best to apply soothing creams after bath and re-apply through out the day if there are dry patches or agitated rashes on babies skin. If you have used a product for a week and no better results, it means its not working. 

Will I repurchase?: Definitely! Yes

Review: Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder in Lavender

This powder is cooling, refreshing, and soothing powder which is effective in relieving itching, prickly heat rash, and skin irritation from the hot weather.

To be used after bath as an antiseptic and absorbent dusting powder.

Scent of lavender makes you feel fresh and relaxed.

My Review:

Pros:

• Reduces the itch from the rashes
• Cooling effect prevents heat rash
• Good for everyday use

Cons:

• Lavender smell could be a little overwhelming
• Inhalation of talcum powder in general is bad for the lungs of babies

Overall: Rashes cant leave my baby alone, its like a constant battle that I'm facing most of the time. Blame the heat! His heat rash comes out all the time, we're kinda getting used to it. I know that Talcum is bad for babies as it contributes to asthma and all other lung problems in the long run so I make sure that if I get a powder, it better work! Snake brand is the one I reach to after his bath and if he needs to be refreshed, specially if I see his naughty hands scratching away!

Rating: 4/5

Tips: Try and change your fluffy powder duster to a flat one so the powder particles won't be easily inhaled by your baby. Block his nose when you are applying on the neck or his chest.

Will I repurchase?: Yes

Do you think talcum should be banned on babies? Have you encountered side effects of talcum with your little one?

Overall: I bought this when I was back in Manila for our holiday. I have only seen it recently in Cold Storage but not before or anywhere else. Well, I was curious to try all their products and it is on the pricey side there in Manila which is weird cos its kinda cheap here in Singapore. It was way too much for our whole trip though but too bulky to bring back cos i bought the medium sized thinking it wont be enough. Overall, I was happy with this wash.

My Review:

Pros: 

• Smell is not overwhelming

Cons:

• Not suitable for my baby's skin
• Thick cream makes it more suitable as a barrier cream
• Not moisturising
• Did not prevent rashes in diaper & neck area
• Did not treat rashes in diaper & neck area
• Did not help in the redness of the fold of the skin

Overall: Someone gave this to me but I only opened it up when Baby yo had rashes on his diaper area and on his neck. Turns out that its heat rash thus, this was one of the products recommended in Kiddy Palace. However, this product is very disappointing because it did not help the rashes even after a few days of application. 

Rating: 1.5/5

Tips: Always check baby's body for any rash and treat it immediately so that it would not be more irritated and agitated. Apply cream for at least 3 days to see results. Stop immediately if you do not see any improvements. If it gets worsen, seek medical help as baby might be allergic to certain products of the cream.

Review: Drapolene Cream

My Pharmacy Singapore Review:
For the treatment and prevention of nappy rash and nappy redness. Drapolene Cream will also provide soothing relief for minor burns and wounds. The specially formulated cream is easy to apply and will not block the action of one-way nappy liners or disposable nappies.

Indication:
For the prevention and treatment of nappy rash: Apply Drapolene Cream evenly at every nappy change, paying particular attention to the folds of the skin. For minor burns and wounds: Apply liberally to the affected area as necessary. It is important to ensure that the affected area is dry and free from all traces of soap.

My Review: 
Pros:

• light on skin 
• not bad as a barrier cream 
• fragrance is not overwhelming 

Cons:

• pink colored cream may transfer to clothes and beddings 
• Does not prevents diaper rash 
• Does not treat diaper rash 

Overall: I got this as a present for my baby shower so I was happy to give this a try. For 55g, its quite much to use.

However, this is not suitable for my baby because he had some urinary and diaper rash which was not prevented and treated like what it claims to be.
Rating: 2/5

Tips: Apply barrier creams thinly so that skin can breathe. Try to apply barrier creams after each nappy change.

Will I repurchase?: Nope!

Review: Nuk Baby Wipes

        

My Review:
Pros:

• Extra thick and strong so poop don't transfer to your fingers
• Extra soft on baby's bum
• Fragrance free
• Reseal-able pack
• Can be used for fresh-up wipes
• Size: 18.0cm x 20.0cm
• 80 wipes per pack
• Comes in mini size pack for 10pcs

Cons:

• No hard top cover for better freshness

Overall: I have tried the most popular ones like pigeon, Johnsons and huggies but this is my favourite so far. Its funny cause I have to think twice when I wanna buy other brands cause I know i'm just asking for trouble when i know that he will get rashes if I switch to other brands. The thickness is nice because the poop doesn't leak through which is gross cause you'll hand will have poop and the smell of it lingers! 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Always remember to close the seal to maintain freshness. Use wipes case to store wipes when travelling out of the house to lessen the bulk in the bag

Will i repurchase?: Yes!
