Noxzema works great. I learned this from an episode of Chris Horner's Corner a couple years back. I was previously using the standard issue "chamois butter", but the cost value for the amount I used daily made no sense long term. I lather up my chamois before every significant ride, and rarely suffer from a saddle sore unless the ride is particularly intense (>6hrs, >4000m, >200km in hot conditions), i.e., very very sweaty. I tend to release a lot of sodium in my sweat which is exacerbated at much higher intensities which ultimately makes for some serious friction, if you know what I mean. Personally not a big fan of chemicals in my undercarriage, so I look forward to this thread proposing me an alternative!
Not sure why the video comes up as 'unavailable' on here, so here is a direct link to the episode he discusses this in (remove the space): https: //youtu.be/_qtAw3_kspQ
