Best Kids and Baby Skincare for Dry, Sensitive or Eczema-Prone Skin - Our Top Picks

QV Baby - Our Top Recommendation for Sensitive or Eczema-prone skin

If your baby has sensitive or eczema-prone skin, it is essential to look for products with ingredients that are dermatologically tested and gentle to protect their delicate skin condition. QV Baby is Australia’s No. 1 selling baby skincare brand in pharmacy* and is recommended by paediatricians and dermatologists for cleansing and moisturising dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin. 

Consisting of hydrating cleansers, moisturisers, bath oil and nappy creams, QV Baby range is suitable even for newborns because it contains the most gentle ingredients that are dermatologically tested. The reason QV Baby is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin is that it is fragrance-free, pH balanced, and free from colour, and other irritants. 

The hypoallergenic QV Baby range is designed to soothe and help support the way your skin naturally repairs itself. Featuring Niacinamide(Vitamin B3), the formulation helps in skin repair and to ease inflammation. As for moisturising, the QV Baby cream range provides up to 24 hours of hydration!

Did you know that most normal baby cleansers on the market contain soap? Soap is harsh on your baby’s skin because it strips away the baby's natural sebum. QV Baby is soap-free, so it does not strip away the baby’s natural oils and helps to maintain the skin’s natural protective properties.

A true stand-out product from the QV Baby range is the QV Baby Bath Oil.  This is the only product in the market that is a water-dispersible oil formulated with added Tocopherol (Vitamin E) to help cleanse and moisturise the skin of newborns while they bathe in a bathtub. This bath oil is extra hydrating and comes in a rinse-free formula that cleanses without having to rinse the baby afterwards. 

The QV adult range is the #1 brand in Singapore hospitals** and is trusted and recommended by dermatologists themselves. 

Mummies love it too! In Singapore, 9 out of 10 local mums recommend QV Baby Moisturising Cream^ for their babies with sensitive skin. Dermatologically tested and suited to your baby’s sensitive skin, QV Baby makes a worthy addition to your child’s skincare routine.

Available at Watsons, Guardian, Unity Pharmacy and Lazada and Shopee.
