Roughly 5 years back when I was 14, I had pretty severe acne, so we went to the doctor and I had Accutane prescribed to me. The issue was that it caused all of my skin to be incredibly dry and especially my nose and lips to the point where it hurt. I would be bleeding from the cracking that was happening. My nose was constantly feeling stuffed up and filled with scabs.
Similarly my mother also started using Accutane at around the same time because she’s had to deal with acne even into her mid-40s.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great medication but with how dry it was it felt like a living hell every day.
We're not the only ones with this issue either. Looking at trends, dry nose is searched more than even chapped lips. My friends complain about dry noses too and even after acutane, my nose tends to dry up because I live in Utah where humidity never goes above 20%.
Eventually my mother and I decided that we couldn’t take it anymore so we figured out a formula to help with it, and I kid you not, we were able to relieve all the pain and itchyness within one day of use. After 3-4 days, the scabs would begin falling off.
We’ve had many conversations about how we want more people to have this but that would be very hard to share, and most of the time it would stop there. Until recently when we were talking, she mentioned that 90% of makeup in the USA comes from just a few labs. I had the thought that perhaps there would be something similar in the this product category, so I went looking.
Just the other day I found out that these do in fact exist and that I could have them make the product and bottle it and label it, then just send it to me.
Though I haven’t gotten super far, I found a few companies that specialize in organic products and other things like that, that will help me make the products. So I have been sending emails over there last few days to them to get quotes.
My issue is that I'm not really sitting on a lot of capital since my current job pays very little, so once I get the quotes on these things, I'm probably gonna end up having to save a bit to buy it, but I intend to.
I want to see where this goes, and if you guys do as well, feel free to follow this thread. I'll try to periodically post updates in the future.
