DermaFrida the FlakeFixer the 3-Step Cradle Cap System by Fridababy

4.5 (144)on Boots →
The BubsNest Verdict

This kit can tackle stubborn cradle cap effectively, but the brushes may be too aggressive for babies with sensitive skin, leaving you with more redness than you bargained for. Ideal for parents dealing with persistent, thick cradle cap who have time for the multi-step routine, but skip it if your baby has reactive skin or you want a quick fix.

⚠️The brush bristles can be harsher than expected on delicate newborn scalps, so test gently on a small area first to avoid irritation.

Decent

The DermaFrida the FlakeFixer cradle cap system by Fridababy receives mixed reviews from UK parents. While some find it effective at removing stubborn cradle cap, others report it can be too harsh on sensitive infant skin. The product's multi-step process is seen as both a pro and a con.

What parents love

Effective Cradle Cap RemovalParents report the FlakeFixer tool effectively removes built-up cradle cap, even in older children with persistent flakes.
Gentle CleansingThe included shampoo is described as gentle and non-irritating, helping to soothe the scalp during use.
Convenient SystemThe 3-step process of oil, brush, and shampoo is appreciated as an easy-to-use routine for managing cradle cap.

Worth knowing

Potential Skin IrritationSome parents find the FlakeFixer brush too abrasive, leading to redness and discomfort for their babies' sensitive skin.
Time-Consuming ProcessThe multi-step nature of the system is seen as a drawback by some, who prefer simpler cradle cap treatments.
Messy ApplicationA few parents report difficulty containing the oil and flakes during use, leading to a messier experience than expected.

Best for

  • Babies and toddlers with stubborn, built-up cradle cap
  • Parents seeking a comprehensive 3-step system to manage cradle cap

May not suit

  • Infants with very sensitive skin, who may find the brush too harsh
  • Busy parents looking for a quick, fuss-free cradle cap solution

Tips from parents

Technique

Use the FlakeFixer brush gently and avoid scrubbing too vigorously to prevent irritation.

Preparation

Apply the oil and let it soak in for at least 10 minutes before using the brush for best results.

Cleanup

Have a towel or cloth ready to catch any loose flakes and oil during the brushing process.
