I really like Purpose gentle cleansing wash - oil, soap and sulfate free. It foams nicely and removes make-up really well. I’d say it’s similar to Cetaphil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skincare-products-for-sensitive-adult-skin#post-2801491 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 19:41:59 +0000 lamariniere 2801491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Cetaphil cleanser? I used to use it years ago, then we moved to Europe and I couldn't get it anymore. Now we live in Asia and they have it here, so I just started using it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skincare-products-for-sensitive-adult-skin#post-2801458 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 17:58:20 +0000 atoz 2801458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: thanks! I love that they’re all budget… I usually love she’s moisture too and use it for my daughter. I recently tried one of their face washes and it made my skin really red, but maybe I’ll give your lotion a try!</p> <p>Good to know about Kiehls... it has been ages since I’ve used their products and I don’t think I’ve ever tried their skin care products. Has anyone tried the midnight oil wash? </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: Dr. Hauschkas is supposed to be great! It’s a bit out of my budget right now but I’ve heard a lot of good things.

We use All Free &amp; Clear for everything these days in an effort to actually get the clothes clean (it seemed like 7th generation didnt) AND not irritate my son's super sensitive skin (it seems like everything gives him eczema).</p> <p>That said, he's potty training and we have pee laundry for the first time. It seems like it still smells like pee after washing with the All F&amp;C.... :bummed: We do an extra rinse cycle and all of that and still..ick.

We found Vaseline to work best for us. We also dipped her bottom in baths with baking soda and gave her some diaper free time. Honest diapers made it worse, because they're not as absorbable. We like Pampers and Target brand. You just have to try a few to find one she likes.</p> <p>Good luck! I know it's so hard to chang the diaper when you know it hurts her so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-disposable-diapers-for-sensitive-skin-sos#post-1666277 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:19:21 +0000 bunnylove08 1666277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerblonde: My DD had the same problem. We've used Honest, Seventh Generation, Earth's Best and Target. We stuck with target since they are the cheapest and DD's skin hasn't flared up. I would buy a small package and test it out.</p> <p>Do you use any preventative cream on her? We always slather a layer of aquaphor and change often </p> <p>My Nanny loves buttpaste by the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-disposable-diapers-for-sensitive-skin-sos#post-1666234 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:05:45 +0000 gingerblonde 1666234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our almost-three week old daughter has diaper rash something fierce. Out of nowhere three days ago, she developed a very nasty red rash on the insides of her bottom. We have kept the area dry and changed her often, and have used both Desitin and A&amp;D Ointment. She is currently wearing NB Pampers Swaddlers, and has been since the day she was born.</p> <p>Our pediatrician recommended maximum strength Boudreaux' Butt Paste and switching to a sensitive diaper, in addition to letting her air out and making sure she's dry, as well as everything we've been doing.</p> <p>Does anyone have recommendations for the best sensitive-skin diapers? My poor little girl is wailing every time her diaper comes off or my hands touch that area. It even started to bleed a little yesterday from being so raw. I feel so bad for her! I want to get something ordered stat... Has anyone had positive experiences with anything in particular?</p> <p>Thanks! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-reaction-to-dry-cleaned-clothes#post-393767 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:53:28 +0000 hilsy85 393767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSPB: yay! glad that you have some good options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-reaction-to-dry-cleaned-clothes#post-393737 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:43:16 +0000 MrsSPB 393737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Just checked into this, and the other dry cleaner in our neighborhood is all organic.

Both good suggestions. @junebugmama: My hubby actually just prefers to have them dry cleaned for the same reasons as your hubby.

He started just having them laundered and pressed and requested starch only on the collar and sleeves. May help, if his shirts don't need to be dry cleaned, but he just prefers it. </p>
