11/12/2024 -I have been using the Mustela products for a few weeks now. The Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream is a nice cream to apply however the lid option on it is difficult when changing a wriggly baby and I wish more would come out of the tube at once. It is a great cream for smaller patches of eczema but not enough for larger areas. The Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo was really easy and fun to use being a pump bottle with foam. My baby has mild cradle cap but I didn’t notice too much difference. It was still good at washing and removing the sand from daycare. They are nice products to use and neutral smell.

09/12/2024 -We have been using both products for about a month so have been using them frequently and they have quickly become our go to products in our household! I found the Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream amazing to treat a range of things from Eczema flare ups, rashes (baby acne through to nappy rash), as well as bite marks and worked wonders not just for our little one, but us grown ups too! It is in such a convenient tube that make it easy to use and I really like the fact that a little amount goes a long way - the lotion is light weight and non-greasy making it really easy to spread. We had just started with getting cradle cap and Mustela Newborn Foam has helped not only heal it but stop it. If we find any trace of cradle cap flaring up it only takes a few washes to come right again. The easy pump bottle makes it so much easier to get onto our little ones head without worrying about pouring too much out. We found that even though its a foam it goes far and is so nice and gentle on the skin we didn’t have the stress of tears or irritation when rinsing it away. With both items being made mostly from natural ingredients, we have found the Mustela brand to be our “reach for” in the cupboard and have actually gone out to purchase more items in the range.

08/12/2024 -I found the Mustela Cicastela Recovery cream nice and gentle on my newborn babies’ skin. It has a nice consistency without being greasy. I like that it pumps out small amounts at a time to avoid wastage. I have been using it on the face, which has helped with clearing baby acne.I love how gentle the Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo is on my babies scalp, without causing any irritation. It helps to soften and remove any flakey patches from cradle cap.

08/12/2024 -I have been using the mustella foaming cradle cap shampoo for every bath since receiving it! My daughter has very sensitive skin and this is the only shampoo she can tolerate. And it cleared up all her cradle cap within two washes! It also smells amazing!Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream Was a real life saver. My daughter had a dribble rash from rubbing her mouth on my shoulder and nothing was clearing it up until this! By the next day it was 90% cleared. It’s also nice putting something on that is made mostly from natural ingredients.

07/12/2024 -I have been enjoying using the Mustela products.The Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream is a nice smooth and creamy texture. It's easy to get the right amount out of the tube. The formula absorbs into the skin well and helped my baby's inflamed skin. My toddler did not like it on her eczema, she found it irritating.I will be adding this cream to our first aid kit.The Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo was really easy to use being a pump bottle with foam formula. Just one or two pumps and that was plenty for bubs head. It has a nice neutral scent. My baby has mild cradle cap and I think the formula help bring some of it off but not all of it. I don't think it worked much better than other baby shampoos at getting the cradle cap off. I will keep using it though.

06/12/2024 -Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo. Highly recommend this, has worked wonders for cradle cap! Within a couple of uses, could see a difference in baby's scalp. The cradle cap has completely cleared up now, which is great. Its fragrance free, with no funny after scent on baby. Appears to be gentle on eyes which is essential. Lathers up lovely during bath time. Great product Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream is excellent! I loved this product! It's non greasy, easy to apply, and leaves skin soft and hydrated! Perfect for sensitive skin and fragrance free. Worked on nappy rash a treat. Would definitely recommend

06/12/2024 -Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo is fragrance-free and gentle on my baby's hair and face. My 6 week old was suffering from mild cradle cap on his eyebrows. The foam shampoo helped to remove this gently. It is very moisturising and did find it slightly heavy on baby's hair as a daily shampoo. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's baby has cradle cap and looking for a gentle but effective way to treat it. The Mustela recovery cream is light and non greasy. We used it on the baby acne in which it helped to remove the redness. I also used it on his nappy rash. It created a thin barrier and appeared to sooth. I would recommend to any new parent looking for a soothing cream for their baby.

05/12/2024 -I am absolutely loving the Mustela range for my baby and would highly recommend trying both of these products. The Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream has been such a great hydration product that has soothed bubs. She is currently drooling and teething and this cream has been awesome for dribble rash. I just pop it on before bed and in the morning any rash has been cleared up. It's nice and not too thick so it's also been great for dry areas like her wee knees as well, keeping them hydrated.My baby has battled cradle cap and we have found the Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo has really helped to treat it. It's very easy to apply and helps the cradle cap to soften and flake off, you can literally see it being removed (which is so satisfying!). I also love that it's a tear free formula! It's definitely helping to prevent more cradle cap as well!

04/12/2024 -I found both the Moisture Recovery Cream and the Foam Shampoo serve their purposes. They both are gentle, not stingy. The moisture recovery cream is really helpful, there are not many moisturisers you can apply on broken skin, I am so glad there is CICASTELA, even suitable for newborn! It's not oily nor too thin, a little bit would work (which the tube dispenser is designed to be only use a little bit per squeeze). It does put moisture into open skin, which in turn helps the open skin recover, and soothes it from drying out and cracking further, and improves the appearance of open skin. It's a triple action moisturiser. I wish Cicastela existed when I was having my boys who had bad eczema when they were under 1. FOAM SHAMPOO does work on cradle cap but it may take a few goes to remove it because it is gentle. I tried it on both my 2mth old and 3yo, both were not irritated, and cradle cap was softened. The dispenser lets out a generous amount so it is easy to be too much for a small baby's hair. I am happy with both products. I hope many eczema suffering children can benefit from these.

04/12/2024 -My baby experienced cradle cap, a condition that many infants face, but I've been using Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo, and I’m incredibly pleased with the results. After just a few uses, the cradle cap has completely cleared up, and I haven't seen any signs of it returning. Having gone through this with my second child, who had a significant case of cradle cap, I was eager to find a solution that would work effectively for my newborn. Mustela’s formula is gentle and soft, which not only helps to treat cradle cap but also protects against any further outbreaks. What I appreciate most about this shampoo is how it cleanses my baby’s hair thoroughly while being mild on their delicate skin. It's an enjoyable experience for my little one as well; they really seem to enjoy the gentle massage during bath time! Additionally, the pleasant scent of the shampoo is a wonderful bonus, and I love how well it works. I wholeheartedly recommend Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo to other parents who are looking for an effective product to manage cradle cap. It's truly been a lifesaver for us!

03/12/2024 -Mustela Cicastela moisture recovery cream was used to treat dribble rash around the moth of my 5 month old. I found this effective to relieve redness and clear up skin rapidly. I will continue to use this product. I am anxious using products on my babies skin as my first child had terrible flair ups of eczema and any products used would cause a rash and nothing improved skin. Mustela products are so soothing and gentle I used them with confidence and always have good results.New Born Foaming shampoo is soft and gentle, resolved cradle cap for my baby girl and made her head and hair so soft and smooth. I would recommend the Mustela range and continue to use for beautiful soft skin.

03/12/2024 -After giving my baby a bath, I've noticed that their skin often becomes broken and irritated. To help soothe this discomfort, I apply Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream. This cream works wonders by providing deep hydration, which helps to restore my baby's delicate skin. Additionally, it strengthens the skin's natural hydration barrier, ensuring that my baby's skin remains balanced and healthy. I love seeing how the cream not only alleviates dryness but also promotes healing, leaving my baby's skin feeling soft and protected. I would recommend to another parent and ideal to use daily!!

02/12/2024 -Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream has been a true game-changer for my baby’s skin. It effectively helped to restore, soothe, and purify any irritated or dry patches. After just a few applications, I noticed a significant improvement in the condition of my baby’s skin, with redness and dryness diminishing. The cream’s lightweight texture was gentle on my baby’s delicate skin, and it didn’t leave any greasy residue. The fact that it’s formulated with natural ingredients like avocado and sunflower oil also gave me peace of mind knowing that it’s safe and nourishing for my baby. I particularly appreciated that it absorbed quickly and didn’t cause any irritation, even on more sensitive areas like around the mouth and diaper area. I would definitely recommend Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream to other parents looking for a reliable and soothing solution for their baby’s skin.Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo is another product I’ve been using with great success. It has been incredibly effective in treating my baby’s cradle cap. The gentle foam made it easy to apply and massage into my baby’s scalp without any teara. I loved how it lathered lightly, and most importantly, it didn’t irritate my baby’s skin. After just a few washes I noticed the flaky patches of cradle cap were lessening and my baby’s scalp looked healthier. My baby also had cradle cap on his eyebrows and a gentle massage of them using the shampoo, helped reduce his cradle cap significantly . I would wholeheartedly recommend Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo to other parents dealing with cradle cap or looking for a gentle shampoo for their newborn.

02/12/2024 -As a family we have loved using the Mustela products on our now seven week old. Being a new mum, I was feeling cautious about the products that I want to use on my newborn. A few weeks in we were hit with baby acne and cradle cap. At first I left both to sort themselves out on their own but could quickly see that her skin was getting quite irritated and might need a bit of support. After using the Mustela No Rinse Cleansing Water, the Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream was great to keep her skin moisturised and calm, it was gentle and effective helping clear some of the last spots! The Recovery Cream was light and didn't leave her skin too sticky or too oily, it also quickly absorbed so I didn’t have to worry about it migrating into her eyes. Initially her cradle cap was quite thick so I knew it was time to get out the Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo. It removed the thick and flaky sections easily without being harsh and kept the rest of it controlled and with minimal flaking. I loved both the products and would definitely recommend them for parents unsure what to use or worried about finding something gentle enough. The best thing about both these products is that they worked well, with minimal fuss and were gentle on her fresh and sensitive skin.

01/12/2024 -Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream - this helped get rid of rashes from my baby's skin and restore, soothe and purify it. I love that it worked super fast and "a little goes a long way". I would recommend this to other parents. It is a great product. Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo - this shampoo helped get rid of my baby's cradle cap and after a week of using it I did not see any new cradle cap growth. I love that it is foam based and easy to apply and gentle. I would recommend this to parents of newborns. It is another great Mustela product.

24/11/2024 -Mustela Cicastela Recovery Cream was incredibly effective in soothing and restoring my baby's skin. After using it for a few days, I noticed a significant improvement in the redness and irritation on my baby's skin. I loved how quickly it worked to relieve discomfort, and the fact that it’s gentle on sensitive skin. The cream absorbed easily without being greasy, and I also appreciated that it was formulated with natural ingredients like avocado perseose, which is safe for my baby.

24/11/2024 -Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo worked wonders for my baby’s cradle cap. After using it a few times, the flakes started to disappear, and the scalp looked much healthier. It’s a gentle formula that doesn’t irritate my baby’s sensitive scalp. I love that it's a foam, which makes it easy to apply and rinse out. It’s also tear-free, so bath time is less stressful for both me and my baby. The natural ingredients are a big plus, giving me peace of mind knowing it’s safe to use on my newborn’s delicate skin and hair. I would definitely recommend Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo. It’s effective, gentle, and safe for my baby’s scalp. If you're struggling with cradle cap or want a gentle shampoo for your newborn, this is a great choice.

20/11/2024 -I love both products so much! The foaming shampoo has helped my little ones cradle cap go away, it’s super gentle and fragrance free which awesome for those with sensitive skin. I do only use it every second wash as I found using it every wash has made bubbas scalp dry. The recovery cream is also quite nice, I use it on my little ones neck as she dribbles or milk spills and her skin used to get irritated. I’ve noticed the redness going away within a couple days which is amazing!
Adithya282251
19/11/2024 -I have been using the Mustella foam shampoo for my newborn since the last few baths and it has been a game changer. The foam texture means a little goes a long way. It’s easy to lather and gently removes the cradle crap without drying out my baby’s hair. Highly recommended. The Mustella recovery cream is a very lightweight cream. It has a very thin nozzle so you only take a little at a time and avoid wastage. It melts into the skin and is easy to apply so even if the skin is irritated the application is very smooth and gentle. Definitely recommend

11/11/2024 -Newborn foam shampoo:This shampoo was certainly more moisturizing than other brands I have tried and seemed to be gentle on my newborns scalp. I also used it sparingly on her eyebrow line as this is where she suffers cradle cap and noticed a reduced appearance. Each pump delivers a generous amount, so I would recommend a half pump to begin with.Recovery cream:I was impressed that the application of this product is as advertised, light and non greasy. I also liked that the tube squirts out a small amount at a time, for clean application.
