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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

EOS or Burt's Bees. in case you utilize it always, then you certainly need an quite organic, nonpetroleum product with out phenol. The greater aspects you already know interior the checklist, the greater desirable, and those 2 are a hundred% organic aspects. If it has phenol, which will dry lips interior the long-term and purely exist in balm to make you prefer greater balm, do no longer use it. Petroleum bases are not an stunning theory the two considering they could additionally dry pores and skin or clog pores. The element checklist must be short, and incorporate frequently animal or plant fat and waxes. yet frequent, placed greater water on your physique! which will make a huge distinction for chapped lips. do no longer lick your lips in case you are able to help it, particularly while exterior interior the wind or chilly. Exfoliate as quickly as a week with a moist toothbrush to get rid of each and all of the ineffective pores and skin. considering your mouth remains at night, slather on balm earlier mattress, it could have all night to soak in with out being licked or eaten off.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 & makes lips super soft, you get it in aveda spas for $15. My friend went on acutane & this worked great for her.
