Shereene Idriss warns that topical steroids thin skin and worsen under-eye wrinkles. Use zinc-oxide diaper creams instead, but skip any with steroids. Preparation H works as a one-time hack for a pimple before a big event.
And number two, the steroid is actually going to thin your skin out in the long run, worsening the look of your wrinkles and the redness around your eyes. So you're going to look shrively high. And you probably can't even see well because you have glaucoma, so you can't even see yourself. Whereas diaper rash cream does quite the opposite. It is just soothing and calming because it has zinc oxide. But again, not all diaper rash creams are created equal. So if you found a diaper rash cream with a steroid like a cortisone in it, avoid that on your face. And if you are so tempted to look for a hack for a hemorrhoid cream like Preparation H, the only exception to the rule is if you have a massive juicy zit on your face, probably the tip of your nose or your cheek, and you're getting married tomorrow, go ahead and use the Preparation H on that zit.
