  • Recommend

    I would love to recommend Aveeno Dermexa Wash and the moisturizing cream to other parents. I have been using the Aveeno for some time now and I think it is really gentle for little babies and even older kids. I sometimes use the wash as a bubble bath for my son. He loves to make bubbles. The products are good quality and trap moisture. Recommend trying.

  • Love it

    My son and I absolutely love the Aveeno baby products and the Aveeno Dermexa Wash is no different. The wash is gentle on the skin and helps to contain the moisture rather than lose it. My son loves the smell which is mild and not too strong. I love the fact it is not expensive and the quality is just great. Highly recommended for all mum with lil buns and even older kids.

  • So good

    I have used the Aveeno Baby Dermexa Wash recently for my 5 year old as I was a out of baby wash for him and just gave it a try. I must say this product is really gentle on a child’s skin, and so pleasantly calming. I use it as a night time routine now and it works wonders. My son hasn’t complained about any itching. His skin isn’t allergic but I still but gentle products for him. Love the product. Recommend trying.

  • Great for itchy skin

    Both myself and my Bub get quite irritated skin – using dermexa wash along with Aveeno baby moisturiser our skin has been so much better!
    Less dry and less itchy which is a relief.

    Great sizes available and easy to use pump packs available!
    Travel size packs would be great (i have not seen any) but theres nothing stopping me from popping some in reusable travel containers

  • Soft subtle and Gentle for the Skin.

    Better Late than Never ???? We have been enjoying our Aveeno Baby wash for 2weeks now. If your not one for fragrance this has a soft subtle oatmeal smell. Leaves the skin feeling fresh and super soft. Perfect to sooth nappy rash or heat rashes. My 2year old daughter suffers horrible nappy burn and this is the only wash she hasn’t screamed at.

    This Aveeno baby wash works wonders it doesn’t make soap at all and it is so moisturizing on my babies skin. I have been using Aveeno products for a while and I’m so glad I tried this as well. I highly recommend for a new born. I even use this on myself sometimes when I have dry hands and skin

  • A great wash and moisturiser!

    I received the Aveeno Baby Dermexa wash and moisturising cream as part of the trial team. I had used the cream before but not the wash and I’m wishing I’d used it earlier!
    When I first used the wash, I had to make sure I hadn’t picked up the wrong bottle – the wash was nice and thick and I thought it was the moisturiser. The wash left my son’s skin feeling soft and moisturised. The moisturising cream is easily absorbed and helps to prevent eczema flare ups in the kids. Would definitely recommend this range!

  • Gentle wash for son with eczema prone skin

    I have loved trialing the Aveeno Dermexa on my 9 month old son who has eczema prone skin. We use prescription corticosteroid cream for flare ups and avoid all soaps and regular moisturizers as they irritate his skin. We have had no issues using the wash in his bath, in addition to the QV bath oil and have found it cleans his skin well. There is no scent and feels nice on his skin. After the bath I have been applying the moisturizer all over and his skin feels soft. It has not triggered his eczema at all and I would definitely purchase this product again. I have also been using the wash on my 2.5 year old who has sensitive skin and have also had great results

  • Seriously changed my daughters skin!

    I can’t recommend this highly enough, my daughter has had extremely sensitive skin from 4 months of age; now 2 years old.
    I was reluctant to try yet another product on her skin as she has been through the ringer with breakouts of eczema and rashes caused by products. However from the moment I laid eyes on the packaging even, I felt at ease. Something about the packaging/design is even calming. Both products smell is subtle, but also really lovely. It does not have the yucky soapy/lotiony smell most other brands have.
    I tested the moisturiser on myself first, my skin immediately absorbed it. It immediately felt silky and supple. This is when I decided it was okay to try on miss 2. During our nightly shower, miss 2 was excited, opened the wash and lathered it all over her body. She said ‘ niceeee soap ‘ ‘more soap, smell nice’. No reaction. Began applying moisturiser, miss 2 loves being independent so she rubbed it all over and begged for more and more.
    I honestly have never felt skin so soft. I liken it to a fresh newborn. So perfect.
    Over the next week it was a daily routine, wash, moisturise, nappy, PJs, bed.
    Not a single red mark, it actually cleared up some of her existing eczema.
    I’m incredibly happy with these products. I will continue to use Aveena Dermexa on my children, and recommend to any parent who needs help clearing skin issues, but doesn’t want the nasty chemicals of prescription steroids and alike.

  • Amazingly delicate baby skin care

    My baby has a severe eczema and he was on and off using cortisone cream as well as other different range of skin care products with no result. I was a bit sceptical at the beginning but willing to try it and it worked!! My baby’s skin started to heal and became smooth every day

  • Gentle and soothing

    It was wonderful to receive Aveeno Baby Dermexa Wash and being able to try on my baby son. Feeling a bit anxious as my son has sensitive skin l started to use it during bath time and l noticed he not only enjoyed it on him but it seemed gentle, soothing and moisturising on him. I then placed the Aveeno baby moisturising cream on him and his skin felt soft and gentle on him. Was quite happy with the results.

  • Soothing, hydrating, great!

    We have used Aveeno Baby products in the past, along with their other products and the Dermexa range fits in wonderfully. The wash is thick and soothing, without containing lots and lots of soap which can be irritating. This followed by the moisturising cream is a match made in heaven. The cream is thick yet goes on the skin smooth. There isn’t a horrible greasy feeling after and it absorbs nice and quickly.

  • Aveeno success

    Having received my trial Aveeno Baby Dermexa Wash I was super excited to try on my little one. I found the wash lovely to use and seemed super soft on bub,s skin. Having suffered from some minor skin issues in the past I was excited to see if Aveeno would be sensitive enough to use everyday. So far I’m very impressed and love giving little massages with the Dermexa moisturiser after the bath. I even think Bub,s is sleeping better!

  • Nourishing & moisturising

    I love how there is no overpowering smell with the body wash and moisturiser. With only having to use a tiny amount of the wash it leaves my baby’s skin feeling so soft. I love how I can use the moisturiser as I get my baby ready for bed and all his flaky baby skin is now gone. Great products that I trust using on my precious baby.

    I would and have recommended this product for other mums and bubs that I know.

  • Gentle and easy to lather

    The Aveeno baby dermexa has been really easy to lather on my bubs skin and washed off nicely without irritating her skin and/or eyes. It did not dry out my bubs skins either. It has no added parabens and is soap free. However the wash does contain sodium trideceth sulfate, citric acid, sodium benzoate, and a couple of other ingredients so make sure you research what suits your bubs skins. This worked for us so far so good and will keep another review once we have consistently used it for a week ????☺️

    Love and recommend the dermexa wash from Aveeno, so gentle and natural. Love it use it daily on our baby. It’s a bit expensive but well worth the price. We were at Dr lately who recommended aveeno dermexa wash and bath oil. Also said getting as much oil in their diet is good. So i definitely will recommend to all the new mommies as i really see my baby skin smooth and silky and no rash or flaring up. Thumbs up and i have always trusted Aveeno with this. If your baby has sensitive skin trust this product and you wont regret it. Im product to choose this product worth every penny.

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.
