My baby had a bit of dry skin when she was a few months old so I tried a variety of creams and lotions on her. A doctor recommended me to try Eucerin Aquaphor on her so I bought a small tube as it was a bit pricier than other off the shelf "baby" lotions and I didn't want to commit to a larger size without knowing its effectiveness. Aquaphor has a thick vaseline like consistency that is a bit sticky and greasy when applied but absorbs into skin after a few minutes. After 3 days of applying twice on my baby her dry patches significantly improved. We went through the whole tube during the winter months and after we ran out I went to Costco to buy the extra large tub size. I use it quite often now too to hydrate my cuticles as I find it extremely effective for "mom" hands especially when applied at night before going to bed.
