I'm sure that this has been written about repeatedly, and I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I am in some serious need of some suggestions from all of you Accutane experts out there. My lips are out of control. Out of control enough, that the children I work with in the hospital think that I am wearing really red lipstick, and that I don't know how to color inside the lines.
My lips are red, sore to the touch, and I'm getting these little bumps around them that almost look like pimples. My derm said it was just irritation from chapping, not cold sores. I am in desperate need of a good lip balm or something that can give me some relief. So far I have used without success:
- Dr. Dan's Cortibalm
- Vaseline
- Aquaphor
- Medicated Blistex
- Carmex
- Burt's Bees grapefruit chapstick
- Eos Lip Balm
- Baby Soft Lips
- ChopSaver
- Chapstick
Does anyone have any suggestions other than the products I've already used. Weird tips are perfectly acceptable as well!
I saw someone on youtube recommend a balm called waxelene (waxalene?) which is I think a non-petroleum based one. Also seen people liking Bite Beauty agave lip mask, although I think its just very goopy so stays on well rather than being especially healing.
Have you tried layering? At night I've been putting on a coat of aquaphor and then covering that with a coat of carmex, and it lasts pretty much perfectly through the night. I am on a really low dose right now though so not gonna pretend I know this will work on a higher dose!
I always have dry lips in any case so as my course goes on this is something I'm worried about getting really bad - thus lots of research
Lol I don't know why that emoji is showing up as randomly huge!
