Improving Newborn Skin Health: Effects of Diaper Care Regimens on Skin pH and Erythema
Pampers is dedicated to significantly improving newborn skin health through advanced diapering routines. Our scientists, in research published in Pediatric Dermatology (Gustin et al., 2021), demonstrated that Pampers’ unique regimen of an emollient-containing diaper with a pH-buffered wipe offers superior protection. This integrated system of Pampers diapers and wipes together resulted in 50% fewer instances of severe diaper erythema and twice as many rash-free babies, especially in the sensitive perianal area, compared to other widely available options. This clinically proven approach actively supports healthy skin pH and protects against irritation, providing superior comfort for your baby

Baby Wipes With a Mildly Acidic, pH-buffering System Provided Better Skin Condition Compared to Cotton Washcloth and Water in Two Randomized Clinical Trials
Pampers delivers superior gentle care for baby's delicate skin, backed by clinical science. Our scientists, in new research published in Global Pediatrics (O'Connor et al., 2025), conducted two trials comparing Pampers baby wipes with cotton washcloth and water. The study definitively showed that Pampers baby wipes, designed to gently maintain baby's natural skin balance, resulted in significantly less redness compared to using just water and cloth, providing clinically proven effective and gentle cleansing.
