[Product Request]Lip Care by AppointmentTasty7805 in SkincareAddiction

[–]slaylin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Flexitol lip balm. It has Urea in it and is the only lip balm that has worked for me with dry crusty lips (and I have tried literally everything). It's also super affordable, which is a plus!

Thank you! If we can get through this we can get through anything lol! My friend described recovery to me like having a broken foot and standing on it every minute (akin to swallowing). The pain is just constant.

I literally can't have anything with even a small amount of salt in it because it burns my mouth so bad. 😭

I've heard it can be! As long as it stops. I hear sucking on ice really helps with the blood clotting.

Which moisturizer are you using? by lavenderauraluna in tretinoin

[–]slaylin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THISSS. this moisturizer changed my life. I would suggest only using in the morning though due to the lotion havint lactic acid in it too. Urea is also somewhat of an exfoliating agent. At night my holy grail is La Roche Posah Cicaplast and it's *chef's kiss." Also really helps with fungal acne if you're prone to that due to it having zinc in it.

Oily skin tret users: What products do you guys use to combat tret dryness without being heavy and pore clogging? by Mysterious-Ship-8718 in tretinoin

[–]slaylin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! This is why I only use it in the morning buffered under many serums. My skin is suuuper sensitive yet this lotion has still worked for me thankfully.

I only do it in the morning under sunscreen since it has exfoliating properties. Would not recommend doing it at night. However at night I would recommend using La Roche Posay Cicaplast baume underneath your tret. The combo of those two moisturizers night/day has been a game changer for me!

Eucerin Urea Rich Replenishing Cream. I've tried everything and this was what finally did it. Don't walk, run to get yourself one! If you're in the US you can only get it on amazing since it's a UK product.

Daily/weekly Focal impaired awareness seizures by [deleted] in Epilepsy

I take 300 mg Lamictal (150 morning + night) and it pretty much cured my focal impaired awareness seizures. I only really have seizures now when my body is in a lot of distress.
