how to fix dry skin post accuttane?

[Lokismo]

I've taken Accutane twice, and I've had very severe acne. My lips are dry as hell 24/7, even though I use Vaseline all day. I finished my last cycle of Accutane over a year ago. Does anyone know how to keep my skin moisturized?

my skin just adopted after like a month on it
only my lips were dry. Vaseline doesn't work. I bought some high quality lip balm and applied that shit like 10 times a day. worked like a charm.

Solo tenia los labios secos. La vaselina no funciona. Compré un bálsamo labial de buena calidad y me lo aplicaba unas diez veces al día. Función de m

La vaselina me funciona, pero el efecto es temporal. Siempre me despierto con los labios más secos que una pajita, y dejé de usar Accutane hace más de un año.

¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado desde que terminaste el tratamiento?

You wake up with dry lips, because vaseline is not made for your lips. It doesn't hydrate. I just creates a seal for the moisture that is already on your lips. In this case where your lips are already dry, you're just locking in the dryness and creating an illusion that your lips are moisturized. So get a good lip balm that actually hydrates your lips.

More than a year. I was on in for like 6 months. Never got acne after stopping. I love accutane.

Sorry, brother, the muscle memory of Spanish
I'll take your advice. Is there a special balm? I used one before that didn't really moisturize me.

no worries.
I don't know what will work for you tbh, as the brands that are here in my country, probably are not available in your country.
Just buy a couple and try them. If you know any girls, ask them. They can probably provide some solid advice.
