yeah, I haven't seen aquaphor in Canada either, although I haven't looked TOO hard.

I bought my first labello at a pharmacy and then ordered a whole case of 12, now I have them ALL over!

usually pharmacies will also sell the plain burts bees....

Are you looking for it with the lipbalms by chance? If so, you're not going to find it there. Look with the lotions. It will be packaged in a big tube or tub - they don't market it as lipbalm, but Accutane users have found it be effective for that use.

do they sell Vaseline in canada? it's pretty much the same thing.

Aquaphor has some extra stuff in it, Vaseline is pure petroleum jelly. Aquaphor really seems to work better in my experience.

I just went to a gala at Pharma Plus where someone showcased Avene products. She really knew her stuff and even mentioned that they have a lip balm that many folks on Accutane are recommended. It's really expensive, but could be worth it. Apparently something other than petroleum jelly based is recommended for dehydrated lips. You can also get it at Shoppers. Well, in any of those drug stores with the really big cosmetic and skin care sections.

I use Ceralip by LaRoche Posay and I get it at Shoppers Drug Mart..it's expensive though. The derm gave me blistex and anything else burns my lips & it doesn't get rid of the dryness, but not this stuff..it works great and does the job. But maybe everyone's different? For me it's worth the price..like about $12 for a tube?
