Can anyone recommend a lip balm please?

I began taking roaccutance for my acne 2 weeks ago. Im using body shops vitamin e range which is really helping my skin. However my lips are like hell on earth. Dry, buring stinging. Im slathering vitamin e lip balm on but jeeeez im struggling, my mouths cracked and sore in the corners too.

Anyone else had similar please? What helped? Im kinda desperate

Hi there, I’ve been on Roaccutane twice and both times the best lip balm was carmex in the tub, I tried everything from the cheapest to the most expensive and I always went back to carmex. I recommend buying at least 3 tubs, keep one next to your bed, one in your bag and one in your car and use it as soon as you feel it fading from your lips don’t wait till it comes off completely. Use it just before you go to sleep and again as soon as you wake up. And drink lots of water daily it really helps with the dehydration. My dermatologist said to me if he hadn’t prescribed the Roaccutane himself he’d not believe I was even on it because I managed the dry lips side effects so well! Xx
