South African content creator Sarah Langa recently let her followers in on one of her top skincare hacks, but not everyone is buying it.
During a Q&A on her social media, Langa revealed that she uses Bepanthen cream as a night mask to hydrate her face because of her extremely dry skin.
But instead of applause, she was met with a wave of disbelief.
After dropping her skincare secret, her DMs started flooding with messages from people accusing her of hiding the real truth.
'Do you think I would lie if I was using Chanel skincare? If I had some secret potion from like a fancy brand, would I not want to tell you?' she says in her TikTok clip.
'I'm not lying to you. I'm telling you the truth. I'm using baby bum cream on my face. Why would I lie about something like that?' she continues.

She went on to say that it frustrates her when people ask for advice but aren't prepared to hear the honest answer.
Despite the scepticism, it turns out she isn't the only one slathering the baby product on her face.
Judging by the comments on her video, plenty of people are already in on the baby cream beauty hack.
'I've been using Bepanthen on my face and lips for over 3 years, sana it does wonders for a smooth skin barrier,' one follower shared.
Another added: 'I've been using Bepanthen on my lips and face, even as a hand cream for the past 8 years or so now! It's honestly the best!'
The conversation even turned to the idea that good skin doesn't have to come with a luxury price tag.
'I don't understand what makes people think that using expensive products is the only solution for perfect skin. Guys, I've been using Vaseline on my face my entire life. I legit don't have a skin care routine,' one person commented.
The cream, originally formulated as a baby bum cream, has been used for a wide range of skincare needs.
It's a go-to for healing fresh tattoos, soothing small cuts or scrapes, and calming mild burns, all thanks to its ability to lock in moisture and protect the skin.
So while Langa's tip might have caught some off guard, it turns out that baby cream as skincare isn't so far-fetched after all.
Sometimes, the simplest products really do deliver.
