In the spirit of !savedyouaclick@lemmy.nrd.li, here are the reported active ingredients listed in each of the products in the article:

hydrocolloid patch
Vaseline
vitamin E, panthenol, and beta-glucan
kojic acid, tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, and niacinamide, Centella asiatica, squalane, and glycerin
zinc oxide

Damn, they missed out on aquaphor.

I'd say Vaseline sort of covers Aquaphor here. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Aquaphor is basically Vaseline but with some added inactive ingredients.

Aquaphor is mostly petroleum jelly, which is Vaseline, but it has some extra benefits in most cases. For example, while it still provides a protective layer it lets more air through to the wound site which helps healing.
