I found that incontinent pads soaked with witch hazel and then frozen really helped to heal me up quickly.
Also, here are some products I found on Amazon that can help with perineal healing.
You can DIY your own by growing/wildcrafting/buying your own bulk herbs, or buy one of these pre-mixed options.

If you're birthing at home, have your midwife/doula/mom/etc. bring a big spaghetti pot of water to a boil. Once it's boiled, turned off the heat and dump in a cup or two of the herbal mix, and let it steep until a majority of the herbs sink to the bottom of the pot. Strain it and you're ready to go! You can add some to your peri rinse bottle, dip some pads in it for herbal pad-cicles/ice packs, and use any left over to soak in the tub after a day or so postpartum. If you're planning a hospital birth, you can always cook this up ahead of time and bring some in your birth bag.
I had both for both postpartum times I've been through.
After my first, I mainly used tucks layered over pads, and earth mama bottom spray.
After my second, I mainly used Depends and I was given a bottle of Belly Bliss Niperi Wash and WOW I'll be buying that for any baby shower I ever go to after this. That stuff helped immensely with my tear, but it also can be used on your nipples, and I ended up not even needing to use any sort of nipple cream or salve as long as I used that spray at least every other nursing session, and by a week postpartum I only needed it for my nipples very rarely if baby had stayed latched an especially long time. The second time I couldn't get the Earth Mama bottom spray in time and I didn't know yet if I'd like the Niperi Spray, so I got Earth Mama Postpartum Bath Herbs and I ended up really liking that for sitz baths, and I also would sometimes steep the herbs in a bowl and use the liquid in peri bottles as a rinse/spray.
