On Accutane and in need of a serious lip moisturizer better than the usual drugstore lineup...help!?

I've tried all the usual lip balms, glosses and chapsticks at Walgreens, CVS, etc. with no success. As I'm going home in two weeks to see my boyfriend, I'd really like a smooth, soft set o' lips. lol. Are there any more expensive lip moisturizers online or in upscale stores that really work miracles?





I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Thank you!On Accutane and in need of a serious lip moisturizer better than the usual drugstore lineup...help!?
When I was on it I used Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 (department store). I also used Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment (drugstore). I carried the Elizabeth Arden in my purse and used the Eucerin ointment over night. Good Luck!On Accutane and in need of a serious lip moisturizer better than the usual drugstore lineup...help!?
Burt's Bees lip balm works great, the Mary Kay Satin Lips is also great - but really pricey. Not licking your lips is the key though. Avon also has great lip moisturizers!
Vaseline, the original petroleum jelly (not the cream or lotion)... no kidding, just use as much as you want before going to bed. It works wonders. For the day aveda chapstick is great, it has SPF %26amp; makes lips super soft, you get it in aveda spas for $15. My friend went on acutane %26amp; this worked great for her.
how bout vaseline or bag balm
Mary Kay as a lip moisturizer that works wonders. It's called Satin Lips. I would suggest the Satin Lips Set with Mask and Balm. You put the Mask on to remove the old, dry, dead skin and then use the balm to keep your lips nice and soft. It really works wonders. Especially in the winter, your boyfriend will Thank me!

try the lip balms frm nomenclaturebath.com


they're all natural, smell and feel great!!! only $4 each
Burt's Bees or straight up vaseline.
Get some pure lanolin. It is sold with the baby stuff. It is made for breastfeeding mothers but it is more moisturizing than chap stick and one tube will last forever.





You should also sluff off the old skin with either an exfoliator or an old toothbrush. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water; getting dehydrated will only make it worse.





If you use the Mary Kay kit use EBay to buy it. You can get it for about half price and it does work wonders but it is basically just sluffing off the dead skin followed with intense moisturizers. I get the same results with a tooth brush and lanolin.

Usually dermatologists carry their own concoction of lip moisturizer that is a more concentrated form of Vitamin E to help moisturize lips while on Accutane. Check with your derma.
most name brand product use octinxate which is a product that softens you lips but at the same time dries them out so you can continue to by that product. The best thing to use is Vaseline. I know it's thick but it does the job overnight. Good luck and sweet smackin'
My son's dermotologist recommended La Roche Posay lip balm when he was on accutane, and it worked well, but was expensive. He found that Nutrogena Lip balm worked very well, also. Carmex and other medicated lip balms are not great when you are on Accutane, they will irritate and will not offer enough moisture. La Roche Posay is available at most spas, and Shopper Drug Mart,in Canada, as well as department stores. My son also used La Roche Posay ';HYDRANORME'; for face and body while he was on his meds, and his skin never felt too dry or itchy while he used it. It really is worth the investment.

Not too sure if you've tried this brand but, its specifically made for EXTREMELY chapped lips. Carmex (comes in a little round container) works. It cools your lips while moisturizing them. I'd try using that, licking your lips as little as possibly, and reapplying it every time your lips lose that ';freshly chapsticked'; feeling.
Get Mary Kay's Satin Lips set - it'll cure the issue!





Also, do not use a medicated balm - it actually dries your lips more.
i suggest you try herpacin-L - they sell it at most drugstore chains and it is usually around 5 or 6 dollars a tube (it comes in a tube like a lipstick or the solid form of chapstick) and i swear it works wonders!
Do not use chapstick. It causes your lips to become drier.





Exfoliate your lips gently with a new toothbrush and warm water to remove dead skin, then immediately apply vaseline or baby oil. Do this every evening. Reapply in the morning and take vaseline or some burts bees with you and reapply every time you remember.





You should probably also be using an eye creme for your undereye area as well, accutane is very strong stuff.
Neosporin Lip Therapy.
as someone who has been on accutane before, i would also recommend satin lips by mary kay or even just vaseline since it's smooth. just keep putting it on since your lips are so much drier when on accutane. i never found that i had super smooth lips all the time, but as long as i was exfoliating the dry skin off and using vaseline or satin lips i felt pretty good. all the other lips balms are just too sticky.
