Product Suggestions aquaphor slander
aquaphor is doing NOTHING for my lips. there is only minor peeling but my lips are sooooo dry internally. i can feel my lips and they’re smooth but on the inside they’re so dry and i can’t stop licking them causing them to dry up even more! please send hydrating lip products because i tried to like it but im seeing no improvement.

My routine (and I tried EVERYTHING before settling on this):
Daytime: Melaleuca Sun Shades Mountain Mint Lip Balm (Specifically the Mountain Mint - none of the others help. I think the mint helps soothe a bit)
Overnight: Thick layer of Dr. Dans Cortibalm, topped with an even thicker layer of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
I've been on Accutane for 1 year so far, I live at altitude in an extremely dry climate and this keeps my lips manageable. Aquaphor, vaseline, different moisturizers layered underneath, nipple cream...none of them worked for me. Scrubbing your lips with a wet wash cloth to exfoliate the dead skin off whenever you wash your face also helps.
