This week we ask real mums to sample and review Full Marks – a revolutionary head lice treatment that contains no traditional pesticides.
Full Marks is gentle on your children’s scalp while still being clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicate eggs.
Unlike other head lice treatments that try to poison the louse with pesticides, Full Marks works by physical action causing irreversible dehydration and shrinkage of the louse.
Why Use Full Marks Head Lice Treatments?
✓ Contains no harsh traditional pesticides
✓ Clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicates eggs
✓ Quickly and easily treat head lice in under 10 minutes
✓ Odourless
✓ Suitable for sensitive skin
✓ Suitable for children over 2 years old
How to Use Full Marks:
Apply to dry hair and leave for 10 minutes.
Comb through hair with comb provided to remove the remains of lice and eggs.
Finally wash out using non-conditioning shampoo. It’s that easy.
Remember to retreat 7 days later*
*With many non-traditional insecticides – including Full Marks Solution – a second treatment, seven days after the first is required. This is to kill any newly-hatched lice which may have been missed in the initial treatment.
Where to buy Full Marks:
Available at your local pharmacy. Please call 1800 999 155 for your nearest store. RRP: $19.95

Its the best head lice solution I’ve used. I have used it several times and will not use any other product. No smell which is also a great thing also as I know my children used to complain in the past how strong smelling all the other products have been. Recommended this product 100℅
I have had to use this treatment over the holidays as the kids got nits from a friends place. used the treatment and it seemed to do the job. the kids are happy and nit free and I am relieved to have something that worked so well. very good.
I spent over $100 on different head lice treatments that didn’t work trying to get rid of the head lice my son picked up at school. Full Marks is the only one I found that works. Its quick and easy you can see that it works straight away. It also leaves his hair soft and clean afterwards not like a lot of other products I’ve used I recommend it everyone.
I have tried other products before and they have a terrible smell, the kids have complained about a burning feeling while they have to wait, the waiting time is so long for the children to sit and they get fidgety, with this product though the kids didn’t complain about the smell or the burning feeling and it was quick.
I used full marks on my daughters hair.
And it worked well it only needed one application and the nits were gone.
I purchased full marks from my local chemist and only cost me $20.00. Great product easy to use would reccomend. Also works for children who may have sensitive skin 🙂
I changed to this product when my step son kept coming to our house with headlice from school and we werent getting great results from other products. This product blew me away with its ease of use (pump action spray bottle) and how well it worked and that you only had to leave it on for 10 minutes! It also doesnt have a strong smell like alot of the other brands i had tried so was by far a winning product for our family.
I found this very easy to use and it didnt irritate the kids, it doesnt stink like a lot of other brands do and my girls have not had any sign of head lice since ive been using it and they usually would be prone to get them it was a nightmare but not anymore thanks to this great product
Not one I raced out to try as no one had head lice but finally someone in the family did and we tried it. Much much nicer then the old stuff that burned your head we used to use! Barely any smell and has a fantastic concept of how it works, like the idea of rather then multiple poisons on my kids heads!
I would recommend this to others. It works well and is simple and easy to use. Instructions are clear and it doesn’t seem to irritate scalps like other formulations I have used before do. I have no complaints about the product although I would love to never have to us it again!
I’ve used Full Marks Head Lice Treatment in the treatment of eradicating nits and lice before and would use again I’d required. There is no nasty odour and is quite easy to use. The only down fall to Full Marks Head Lice Treatment is that is does leave hair greasy requiring a least a couple of washes.
Full Marks head lice solution is easy to use, especially for children. It doesn’t how a nasty over powering smell, which I love. The price is more than reasonable however, the only drawback for me was that hair is left feeling greasy and does require washing a couple of times. Recommend buying the larger pack to treat the whole family.
I love that you can grab Full Marks Spray Solution from the supermarket. It was easy to use, spraying and combing through the hair. The only drawback was that I found it difficult to rinse out from the hair. The smell wasn’t overpowering compared to other products and after completing the second treatment all the creepy crawled were eradicated.
loved this stuff it was pretty easy to use and wiped out all head-lice in one go the only drawback was how oily it was, even after washing it out. It took about 3 days for hair to stop being oily but would still use it again the price is good and the effectiveness and smell is great.
Used this in the past and found that by the time I’d sprayed and dealt with the hair the solution was all over my hands making the pump hard to use, ended up wasting a towel trying to keep my hands clean and wiping the bottle, and it wasn’t any more effective than other treatments
my hubby grabbed this at the chemist. We also bought a comb. we used it and it did the job. i am happy with the lice free result. Because the smell was not overpowering (which was good), i did wonder if it would actually do the job. We would prefer not to use chemicals on our children but conditioner and combing will only get you so far and other “natural” products were not that effective and costlier. this is a product i would try again and it wasn’t one that i had seen before my hubby purchased it
The treatment was very effective however I found it difficult to get the product out from the hair. I would buy it again as it is the best treatment I’ve tried so far.
I used full marks & It killed off all the headlice and ( apparently) the nits too but in a week I had headlice again and I used full marks again & they didn’t seem to go because at the end of the week I always got headlice I have now used full marks three times and I still get headlice … Soo I need help , shall I continue to use full marks and check through my hair every day picking out nits or shall I use another product ? Because I’ve heard it becomes less effective once it’s been used 3 or more times :/ HELP PLEASE
my daughter often comes home from school with creepy crawleys. We have used many treatments until finding full marks. The creepys were dead within minutes, easy to use and I find that headlice is less of a problem in our house
I saw this product, and my granddaughter came home with head lice from school, so she was treated straight away. This product worked really well. She has hair down to her bottom so it can be difficult to comb out at times, but the Full Marks Spray worked well. It was really easy to comb her hair. The price was reasonable also. Treatments can be so expensive, especially if you have a large family, you really need to treat the whole family at the same time. Thanks for the hint to use Full marks. xx dee
as the name indicates i would like to give this full marks! my daughter has just started school and i was feeling lost as i didn’t knew any solution to lice problem. no worries any more, thanks to this effective product
I brought this after reading reviews about it. So glad i did it is great. No harsh smells like others and it really does kill the lice. Only on the head for 10 min which is great with younger children. Highly recommend.
I applied for this review over 2 years ago; I still have the original bottle (it has lasted this long) and used it on on numerous heads within the family (I have seven children). After using it once, we are lice free (per child) for 12+ or more months. LOVE it and wouldn’t try anything else!
Had to lice dip my girls twice now 🙁 I knew enrolling them in kindy would have its normal hiccups but i didn’t expect having to treat them for headlice…not that they had any but to make sure i could prevent it. I tried a different brand the first time and my girls said it felt hot on their heads and smelt disgusting…but this time i tried Full Marks range and it was great! No horrible smell, easy to use, didn’t phase my kids and no more head lice scares.
I have tried so many head lice treatments out there and there are not many that work very well.
I have probably come across 3 that work well and Full Marks is one of them.
It’s easy to use, doesn’t require to be left on the hair for long and doesn’t smell which makes for less children whinging at a job we all hate.
e brought this. Okay it does not smell great. It killed the nits but did not much about removing the eggs. All good we used a comb then I spent hours went through her head stand for strand. …. But now I have found a second use. Okay I pray her school hat. Twice a week and I mixed into her shampoo so when I wash her hair she will get a small treatment … Does not leave hair oily. But her hair has a nice shine,
Its the best head lice solution I’ve used. I have used it several times and will not use any other product. No smell which is also a great thing also as I know my children used to complain in the past how strong smelling all the other products have been. Recommended this product 100℅
I think this head lice product is very good. my kids got head lice and I used the treatment and it fixed the problem. I would recommend this head lice brand to other mums. I was very happy with the end result and the kids didn’t complain of the lice after the treatment.
I have had to use this treatment over the holidays as the kids got nits from a friends place. used the treatment and it seemed to do the job. the kids are happy and nit free and I am relieved to have something that worked so well. very good.

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
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.
🚫 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.

*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin. *#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.
Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!
My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.
Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.
Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.
Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.
I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.
There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.
This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important
Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!
Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to
Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.
We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .
This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
