It's...OK
-03.14.13
This stick goes on smoothly and seems to work for a small amount of time. My child is 4. Maybe this product would work better on a baby who's not so mobile? I dunno. The price wasn't bad, so I don't feel like I wasted my money.

The ONLY thing that works for eczema
-09.26.12
Quick Take: soothing
I'm a neonatal nurse and both of my children have eczema. I've tried almost every product out there. The only thing that works is steroids and the HydraStick. I use it on eczema, chapped lips, chapped noses, cracked fingers, cracked heels. It's truly amazing. The smell could be better, but that's not a deal breaker since you're supposed to use unscented/uncolored products on infants.

For the whole family
-07.06.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, soothing, scented, quick & easy to apply
I love this for myself and both my children. It's the best thing to use during winter when little cheeks get chapped by the wind and cold. It just rubs on like lip balm, so quick to apply to children who can't sit still and are anxious to run and play.

not great
-03.21.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, scented
I have easily dried/chapped lips, so I tried this and it is not very hydrating for me. It feels very waxy and doesn't melt onto my lips as easily as other products from Sephora in the same category. The smell is not great either, but I don't know how to describe it.

The product is a small stick but goes on easy moistures all day and it takes 30sec to apply and the baby loves it and its not grease and goes right into the face and the lips get just the right amount its safe and does not irritate plus it protects against the sun great product seriously

Great for on the go
-03.21.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, soothing, creamy, hydrating, protective, portable
I love mini products and portable products and this fits both. This is great if you notice that your hands or lips or cheeks are getting chapped and dry. It's super creamy and really gentle on sensitive or irritated skin. I used it to soothe my nose when I was sick and going through a box of kleenex a day. Just make sure you rub it in well if you don't want it to transfer!

I found a lip moisturizer that works!
-01.03.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, soothing
The packaging is a little strange to use on your lips, but i have serioulsy sensitive skin. Even products made for people with sensitive skin makes me break out in a rash. This is amazing. Great feel, no-greasy and not sticky. Love it!!!

great baby and momma balm!
-11.09.10
Quick Take: soothing
My little 2 yr old had gotten a cold and she had a chapped little nose and this was a great barrier for her runny nose.
I had chapped cheeks and this took them to a nice soft level in a couple of days. I like this product and have found it useful for us both

Great for dry patches
-07.29.10
Quick Take: soothing, moisturizing
Great product for dry patches and rough spots. I use mine before bed and after a shower. It does not irritate my sensitive skin where as most things do, especially while pregnant. Lasts long on skin after application.
Also, the balm has a wonderful light and clean scent. I am anxious to try other products by this company.

Good product for babies and toddlers in the winter
-04.20.09
Quick Take: soothing
This is basically cold cream on a stick --- tiny enough to toss in a diaper bag or purse, and moisturizing enough to use on lips, chapped cheeks, etc. (also useful for preventing chapping under the nose when the baby has a cold, or around the mouth if you have a drooling infant!). It is NOT the most easy to spread or apply evenly, so that's something to keep in mind...it has a thick and waxy texture, but this keeps the product on a baby's skin and prevents them from rubbing it all off. There are many other products out there that moisturize just as well or better, but this one is hypoallergenic, so it's particularly useful for babies.
By the way, it's frustrating to use the product once the roll-on stick gets low, as the product starts to clump and crumble giving you chunks of solid product.

Quick Take: soothing
A great product for the price! Very moisturizing, very portable, and multi- purpose. I used this on my lips as a balm, and I also used it on my eyelids in the winter time to keep them soft and hydrated. It works well on chapped noses when you have a cold, too. Really like this!

This product is perfect for sensitive skin and especially baby skin. I use it on my sons cheeks when they are a little dry. It doesn't irritate his skin, and clears up the dryness right away.

Mustela Hydra stick
-09.11.08
It was wayyyyyyyy smaller than I thought it would be when I ordered it. It was only the size of a zippo lighter. I used it once but it didn't apply smoothly so I haven't used it since. Difinitely not worth 10 dollars. Maybe I'll use it on my baby for his diaper bag when he is born...
