Epaderm is a very thick cream used for dry skin, often for eczema and psoriasis. My doctor prescribed it to me many years ago in attempt to help with this condition.
It is a LOT thicker than aquapor, so it's not really meant to replace them as a lip balm.
I never used vaseline to invoke a peeling cycle because it just wasn't good enough at that for me.
Regardless of the state of my build up, epaderm before bed guaranteed that the skin would slide off without fuss in the morning. I recommend it if that is what you want.
We all reach for specific products to help us control our cycles, and that is one I have reached for regularly over the years to ensure this condition doesn't interfere with my life too much.
