Adult acne runs through my family and at the age of 19 I unfortunately was cursed with adult acne. I tried every cream and pill till I told the doctor I needed accutane. Accutane is a very strong vitamin A that has a handful of side effects, one of those being excessively dry lips. Aquaphor was my bestfriend during my accutane journey, I had so many tubes and bottles of all sizes. It was the only lip ointment that worked, and I am so thankful for aquaphor as my lips never cracked, peeled, or bleed during accutane.
