Aquaphor
4.6
(49)
"I've been on Accutane for 4months and recently got myself one of these bad boys: An Aquaphor Baby Healing Balm Stick. It's like a giant lip balm and it's a game changer."

"Aquaphor was the only thing that worked when I was on Accutane."
"I haven't found anything better than aquaphor."

"For lips: Aquaphor Aquaphor Aquaphor! I bought 5 squeeze tubes from target when I had to go through accutane the second time."
"Aquaphor is the only answer. I was on Accutane twice."

"The Healing Ointment in the tube is much more moisturizing and has a longer staying power."
"The Lanolips 101 Ointment is the one I always recommend from Lanolips and is only lanolin and lanolin oil."
