I always wipe off the buildup and I don't see it getting worse at all. I cover my lips in bepanthen, go to sleep, wake up, forcefully wipe it all off, minor irritation, the irritation goes away, I can go about my day and eat food and drink without getting annoyed by EC skin. I believe my EC was caused by cold air, my skin cracked, I peeled that crack, thus creating the cycle, and on top of that, I suffered massive irritation from soy and peanut products, so that made it worse, and I only noticed that until 1-2 years ago, after having done it for 6+ years.

Jle, so you ve been using bepanthen for 4months and you started seeing results after 1 month and a half?

how did the build up decrease? i mean did the cycle slow down or the peelings became thinner or the areas decreased?

And does the inflammation also improved? when a build up comes off how are the lips underneath? still reddish and a bit inflammed?

What about forcyde spots if you have any?

Me too im constantly moisturizing my lips now but with an aloe vera product….the thing is that i keep removing the build up on a 6/7days cycle when it becomes easily removable after shower or brushing teeth…so i guess i should stop touching but its hard. any advice? what did you do during the first month when the build up got thicker and thicker over days without falling off but close to it? did you just leave it as long as it had to?

Bepanthen makes your lips shiny after it seeps in, or if you're like me and put a lot, it makes your lips all white. If I recall, you're not supposed to use petroleum jelly on your lips, so thats probably the reason. How much of the Bepanthen do you put on? And why do you use it so much if you don't need it?
