It's horrible, but I hear so many good things about it for dry/chapped lips. For me at least, I can't go 20 minutes after applying without a white film appearing on lips. Burt's Bees lip balm if anything is more effective as it leaves no residue even though I'd have to use it constantly - 6 months post-Accutane. Am I not using it right?

 

The white film is called exfoliative cheilitis. I have been told that currently there is no cure. If this started with Accutane, it may stop after Accutane.

No it's not me, it's the petrolatum that's not reacting well because it only shows when I wear it. If I leave it untreated, lips just get dry. I just want to know why the good reviews if it's a hassle to me.
