La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lips 7.5ml

Cicaplast Lips is a repairing lip balm for badly chapped, cracked and peeling lips, including the severe lip dryness that comes with oral acne treatment such as isotretinoin, with retinoid creams, and with cold, dry winter air. Panthenol supports repair and hydration, shea butter and a protective lipid base form a lasting barrier against moisture loss, and the formula is fragrance-free and free of the menthol and camphor found in many cosmetic lip balms, which give a cooling sensation but can dry lips further. It stays put rather than needing constant reapplication, can be used at night as an intensive treatment, and is suitable for children and for use on the corners of the mouth.

Lips have no oil glands and the thinnest skin on the body, so once they crack they stay cracked unless something keeps them sealed and supports repair. A proper barrier balm heals lips in days where cosmetic sticks only feel nice for ten minutes, and it is essential comfort for anyone on isotretinoin.
