I get an $8 purchase from my baby’s changing table to use on my super oily skin – the smallest amount lasts all day

A mum shared the cheap baby product she uses on her oily skin.

She explained that after trying what seemed like countless beauty product purchases, it was the only thing that worked for her.

Editor Nice to meet you shared the skin care tip in a post.

“My face is super oily. I tried MANY things, but nothing worked,” she said.

Although some products managed to tame her oily skin, she explained that she still struggled.

“I would have to dry it four or five times a day at a minimum,” she said.

On a whim, she decided to try using her baby’s diaper rash cream on her face.

“This type of Desitin has about 40% zinc oxide. I only need to use a small amount,” she said.

The cream is on sale on Amazon for $7.25 for 31% off with code $0.90.

“One day, my daughter’s Desitin was on my makeup table,” she said.

“I put it on my T-zone and then I put on a foundation that normally didn’t do anything special.”

To her surprise, the $8 cream drastically reduced her oiliness.

“My God, it worked! I’ve been doing this for about five months,” she said.

“I can go all day without having to dry off even once.”

Best of all, a tube of cream lasts ages without much effort.

Thanks to the cream’s original purpose, beauty fans raved that it also worked well to prevent skin irritation.

“I applied this to a malignant skin irritation and the relief was magical and almost immediate,” said one reviewer.

“Be patient – this stuff is tenacious.”

“I’m 67 years old and I had a heat rash. A friend suggested Desitin, which I thought was just for babies,” said another.

“She laughed and said she’s been using it for years. Well…it works! Now it’s taking pride of place in my medicine cabinet.”

Others shared tricks that helped their sweaty, oily skin.

One viewer explained that underarm deodorant was the right choice to prevent sweating.

“It’s not exactly the same, but… I admit that I put antiperspirant on my forehead when I go out in the heat,” she said.

“And also under my breasts. I can go to hell with my skin care because of this, but it works great.”

One woman said the cream was a must-have for retinol users.

“This is great for the skin [the] face, especially when using retinol,” she said.

“This made my retinol side effects less severe and I could use my retinol every other day. [It] helps with peeling and burns, in addition to the side effects of retinol.

“This is also great for underarms, knees, arms, and dark private areas to lighten the skin.”
