My doctor and mom made me use this when I was a little girl. It's a bit thick and greasy (of course, it's a cream) so I tend to stay away from it now with so many other options on the market. For an everyday cream, we use Vanicream. For the same size it came with a pump (so you don't have to dig in and contaminate its contents) and I was able to get it cheaper from behind the Target pharmacy counter. (Plus, our pediatrician uses it on her "little guy.")
