I've been on Acitretin since April and have the dry lips. I just use Nivea and put up with it. But I can understand why you are thinking of ditching Acitretin. Are the dry lips your only side effect?

No, I also have hairloss (I'm pushing 40, so I can deal with that... would shave it off if I didn't have psoriasis on my scalp!), strange greasy skin on my face (almost like it's sticky, rather than greasy), and dry eyes and my nose dries out easily too. All bearable apart from the lips.
