How to Use Cetaphil on Babies

Cetaphil brand products are fairly inexpensive, soap-free cleansers and moisturizers that are formulated specifically for sensitive skin. Though they have unassuming packages, they have become popular even with Hollywood stars for their non-comedogenic, pH balanced, gentle formulations. Cetaphil moisturizers and cleansers have emollients and humectants to limit moisture loss. Fragrance-free, their non-irritating formulations have also made them popular for use on children and babies.

Things You'll Need

  • Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Instructions

    • 1

      Wash babies with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It can be used both as a soap and a shampoo. To apply, put a quarter-sized amount in your hands, smooth over your baby's skin or hair and gently rinse.

    • 2

      Apply Cetaphil moisturizing lotion after bathing your baby. Smooth over skin as needed. Do not use the SPF moisturizer; only use plain moisturizer. The extra chemicals in the SPF formula could irritate a baby's skin. Regularly moisturizing can reduce skin irritation.

      Rub Cetaphil moisturizing cream into very dry skin. It is very potent, so a little goes a long way. This is especially good for areas that are rough from your baby playing and can be used in areas with diaper rash.
