I made a list of almost all the treatments that cured people in this forum.

I read through about 200 posts of people who either claimed they are cured or saw
huge improvement, these are my findings:
(only from cure zone's exfoliative cheilitis forum)

*I excluded many posts from the list that were falsely tagged as "RRR success" or "100% cured"

*Symptoms: Chronically dry and peeling lips.

From the most common treatment/cure to the least common:
