How to use QV Baby Cream

Apply a generous amount to clean, dry skin. For best results, apply within 3 minutes of bath time while the skin is still slightly damp - this seals in moisture from the bath water. Use 2 to 3 times daily, particularly after baths and nappy changes. For cradle cap, massage a small amount into the scalp, leave for 15 minutes, gently brush the loosened flakes, then wash hair as normal.

Frequently asked questions

Is QV Baby Cream safe for newborns?

Yes. QV Baby Moisturising Cream is formulated specifically for newborn, infant and toddler skin from birth onwards. The fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formula is one of the most commonly recommended moisturisers by Australian paediatricians, midwives and child health nurses for daily use on newborns.

Can I use QV Baby Cream for baby eczema?

Yes. QV Baby Cream is widely recommended for mild to moderate baby eczema and atopic dermatitis. Apply 2 to 3 times daily, particularly within 3 minutes of bath time, to lock in moisture. For more severe eczema flares, your doctor may also prescribe a short course of topical steroid - QV Baby Cream can be used alongside.

How is QV Baby Cream different from regular QV Cream?

QV Baby Cream is a slightly lighter, more spreadable version of the regular QV Cream, formulated specifically for delicate baby and toddler skin. It contains the same core hydrating ingredients but is balanced for use from newborn. Regular QV Cream (also fragrance-free) is suitable for older children and adults.

Does QV Baby Cream help with cradle cap?

Yes. Apply a small amount to the cradle cap area, leave for 10 to 15 minutes to soften the flakes, gently brush with a soft baby brush, then wash hair with a gentle baby shampoo. Repeat daily until the cradle cap clears, usually within 1 to 2 weeks.
