the vit C cream is from the brand earthly elements and i purchased from holland and barrett a uk health store. The whole of my lips have been affected but this has helped tremendously...from the whole of the lower now and nearly whole of the top...too the the middle of the top and middle of lower. The progress is now limited i don't think the cream is penetrating as well as before. So now i have ordered Vit C liquid for my lips to absorb at night, collagen tablets and lip balm that aids growth of collagen. Do you ever get raw skin? How did you get ex cheilitis?
