What the gurus are saying

Zinc oxide is the detail these experts keep returning to, both for body rashes and for soothing face skin when the barrier feels inflamed or dry. The one thing to keep in mind is the look, since it is thick, rich and leaves a white cast, so the advice is to keep it for nighttime. A sheer version that rubs in clear also exists, though it is described as less pleasant to use.

"My next recommendation in the skin barrier category is the Triple Paste diaper rash cream. Yes, the same stuff you put in a baby's bottom. This is more of a thicker zinc-based cream that acts as a protective barrier to prevent moisture irritation while promoting healing. It's soothing because of the non-nano zinc oxide which calms inflammation and oat extract which helps reduce redness and sensitivity."

"I actually use something called Triple Paste and it's really great for long flights or when my skin is irritated, like after injections. When you want grease, Triple Paste has a different preservative system than Sudocrem. I think Triple Paste works better for that purpose than Sudocrem, which is just made for bottoms."

"I use a zinc oxide based cream, you guessed it, a diaper rash cream all over my face. [...] Zinc oxide [...] is gold. It will help repair your face and heal your skin while locking in hydration, and when I wake up the next morning my face is as soft and smooth as my baby's butt."

"This Triple Paste is really good if you get rashes and the skin folds or chafing. That's basically an irritant dermatitis, same thing happens in the diaper area for babies. The zinc is anti-inflammatory and it protects the skin. This also has petroleum which is also a skin protectant, lanoline, visol is anti-inflammatory as is oak kernel extract, glycerin is hydrating. There are a lot of hidden gems."

"And no, I'm not sponsored by them for this video. And this is one that I've used on my baby's butts, and I apply it literally all over my face, minus my nose, and it's going to help to calm an inflamed skin barrier. Now, I also did a CO2 laser around my eyes a few weeks ago, so on top of the seasonal changes, my skin is a little extra sensitive, so I'm going to be generous with this stuff. And [...] I'm going to let it melt into my skin."

It is a diaper rash cream, but I do put it on my face, especially when my skin barrier is broken in the winter to really help restore it. It has zinc, which has great anti-inflammatory properties."

"I like to use a diaper rash cream because diaper rash creams are rich in zinc oxide and they help to reduce inflammation. Triple Paste is one of my favorite ones and I don't mind looking like a pale ghost when I go to bed but a lot of people have told me they don't love that so they recently came out with a sheer zinc one that rubs in clear. Very honestly I don't enjoy the experience as much when it is sheer but to each their own."

"The one I discovered was the best for my kids is Triple Paste. I tried the other buttpaste creams and I felt this one was the best one. It is 12% zinc oxide and it also has oat kernel extracts in it. There's a little bit of corn starch which sounds counterintuitive if you're trying to lock in moisture, but it actually works in your T-Zone area to your benefit. It's a giant tub for like 27 or 30 bucks. You can also buy it in a tube for $10."

"I'm obsessed with Triple Paste, obsessed, obsessed with the fact that they approached me because I was obsessed, and it was honestly the only sponsorship for a skincare company that I ever jumped on. I said yes because I am obsessed and because I thought it was funny that it's a butt paste company. But the fact that this stuff is so good and great for your face, for your skin barrier - you're going to look like a ghost, no, it's not cosmetically elegant, but it does the job. I love it."

"My favorite zinc oxide, no it's not sunscreen. I'm talking about diaper rash cream. Triple Paste zinc oxide is a beautiful ingredient, it has anti-inflammatory effects. When a kid has a rash down there, you slap this all over their little tushies in a gentle way in order to minimize their rash, to calm the inflammation down so they have less friction on their privates."

"I usually use this guy Triple Paste. I will tell you this is a great second one to try that doesn't have any of that white residue because there's no zinc in it. So it's not going to be as good in terms of an anti-inflammatory perspective but it's going to be great in terms of locking in moisture."

"I love this stuff. I would use it all the time on my babies when they were babies, [...] but I use it when I have any sort of irritation and I also use it in the winter when my face is really dry and inflamed with a windburn. Triple Paste, it has zinc oxide in it to help reduce inflammation, soothe redness, flaking and itchiness. I would use this once you've reached the other extreme of looking red, flaky and off and you want to restore your skin back to where it was."
Best Skincare Under $25 from a Dermatologist! | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"It is not exactly a moisturizer, it is more of an occlusive and it's going to seal the deal. [...] She's really thick and she's really rich and you're supposed to use this at night, not during the day because otherwise you will look like a ghost. It has zinc oxide in it. Zinc oxide has anti-inflammatory benefits, it also gives a white cast and that's what I meant by you'll look like a ghost. But because she is extremely rich, basically it is petrolatum, it is like Vaseline with zinc oxide."
How to Layer Hydrating Skincare for Glass Skin from a Dermatologist! | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"Triple Paste cream is literally white petrolatum, which is Vaseline, plus zinc oxide, which is amazing at having reparative and healing properties. After I do the hyper serum and the active seal, if I feel the need to add an extra layer of hydration in, I then end it with the diaper paste because this is really going to seal it all in while calming your face. [...] This has an occlusive property to it plus it's using zinc oxide and not zinc PCA."

"And my diaper rash cream of choice is Triple Paste because I have literally gone through every single diaper rash cream on my kids' tushies and I am telling you this was the best one ever. It would help heal their cracked skin and I'm not being paid by them at all. It was truly the best one. So the way it works is that because it has petroleum jelly plus zinc oxide which has anti-inflammatory effects, it would help to heal and soothe your skin as well and not just act like an occlusive."
