I have been exploring the web for so long trying to find a cure for my ugly lips, I didnt even know my condition was called EXFOLIATIVE CHEILITIS, i started getting it since a few months and it is driving me crazy. I am married and my husband couldnt understand my isolated behavior.
But thanks to you i know have a cure, I have been using glycolic acid cream on my face for a long time but i never ever thot of using it on my lips.
