'Nak, Sa Lahat Ng Paglalaruan, Bakit Cetaphil Pa?' How Mom Moved On From Child's Mess Is Hilarious

When it comes to finding the right skincare products, every parent's wish is to know which suits their child's needs right away. It can be costly and frustrating when we try different products and end up wasting our hard-earned money. 

However, parent support groups like the Smart Parenting Village make it easier to narrow down options through crowdsourcing and sharing of recommendations.

Cetaphil is a brand consistently recommended by parents for its effectiveness on a baby's sensitive skin, although it is known to be slightly expensive. 

Case in point, in the Smart Parenting Village, Mommy Joy Batistis shared her "nalingat lang ako" moment - her son accidentally played with a bottle of Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion with Organic Calendula.

She wrote, "Totoo pala talaga na kapag nanahimik ang anak mo may milagrong ginagawa! Jusko nak, sa lahat ng paglalaruan bat Cetaphil pa [crying emoji]."

As a way to cope with it, she asked the parent members to share their "nalingat lang ako moments!"

Smart Parenting recently concluded the #SPMotherhood100 photo contest that highlighted the realities of motherhood. Coincidentally, Mommy Joy was among the finalists and received a Smart Parenting Mama Bag, which included Cetaphil products for both her and her son!

"Share ko lang yung post ko dati na pinaglaruan ng anak ko yung Cetaphil lotion, super nakakahinayang talaga. Natawa talaga ako kase naubos talaga yung laman at bibili na naman ako ng bago. And I'm so happy right now kasama sa MAMA GIFT PACK ay mga Cetaphil. Pag bukas ko, boom! Umuulan ng Cetaphil. Kaya siguro naubos kase may ipapalit na bago at mas marami."

What other parents say about Cetaphil products

We cannot blame Mommy Joy! All the Cetaphil products she got are proven and tested by parents. Here, members of the Smart Parenting Mom and Dad Squad generously shared their reviews on various Cetaphil products.

Cetaphil Baby Calendula Line for babies and toddlers

Parents praised the baby wash and shampoo for its gentle formula, pleasant scent, and safe ingredients. The lotion was also highly regarded for its non-sticky texture and moisturizing properties.

My 3-year-old daughter was able to use the Cetaphil Baby Wash & Shampoo with Organic Calendula, and she can't get enough of the scent and how it feels on her body. I usually buy organic body wash for her that doesn't have a strong scent, but this baby wash and shampoo made me realize some products can be both safe and gentle to use and smells really good.

When it comes to lotion, both moms Shaina Santiago Moraga and Sarah Tanhuanco love the scent of Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion with Organic Calendula. Mommy Shaina reveals she uses it as well after bath! Mommy Sarah loves the texture too, "When I apply it on our skin it's not sticky at all and makes our skin feel fresh and smooth."

If you are looking for a multi-purpose cream for your baby's dry of chapped skin, mom of two Love Cosio swears by the Cetaphil Baby Advanced Protection Cream, saying, "I have always used Cetaphil Baby Advanced Protection Cream with Organic Calendula for my kids for over a year already."

She added, "They love that it's non-greasy, not too fragrant and I have researched the benefits of calendula that's been known to have inflammatory properties and can help calm redness and inflammation and ease skin discomfort."

Cetaphil Pro Line for moms and dads

Parents also prove that they also trust the brand that they use for their children.

Mom of two Angelica Tamayo approves the Cetaphil products for herself. "I’ve tried a lot of lotions and body washes before but only with Cetaphil have I felt that my skin is soft and smooth with just one use." She added it’s also the brand that her pediatrician recommends for her baby with eczema.

Mommy Joselle Ona, who also has eczema, said, "Ang happy ko sa Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Wash and Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Moisturizer. Because of my eczema, I can only use unscented and mild lotion and body wash. These two are among what my derma recommended."

For Daddy Joma Vicencio or Papa Jomsi, who himself has eczema, he can vouch for the Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Moisturizer. 

"I have always suffered from eczema and I need to have moisturizers that can restore the skin's natural balance. I tried Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Moisturizer, and the spots and marks from my eczema calmed down. My skin was clearer and smoother."

Meanwhile, just like Mommy Joy, Daddy Jing Ruiz was grateful to receive a generous bag of goodies with Cetaphil products that his family uses. He shared that his 3-year-old daughter has really dry skin, and they have been using the brand since. "My panganay uses Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Wash and it helps cleanse her skin without any irritation." He adds, "We partner it with the Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Moisturizer and we notice how our daughter’s skin glows."

While some parents say that this brand is more expensive than the others, Daddy Dreus Cosio maintains it's worth the price.

The dad of two has this to say about the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wipes: "We usually buy unscented wipes but surprisingly, my daughter really likes Cetaphil Baby Wipes, even asked her compared to the old wipes, and she chose Cetaphil because she said it smells nice. Happy kids, happy Daddy."

He added, "I also consider using it because it's paraben-free, alcohol, mineral oil-free, thick and durable but soft and cloth-like so it's budget-friendly for parents too."
