    I'm confused as to what is okay and what isn't on P2 - I have read many different things so I'm trying to get a somewhat clear answer:

    Is petroleum jelly okay? What about lanolin? Glycerin? Tea tree oil (not full strength but it is an ingredient in the face wash I use from Trader Joe's)?

    I won't be smothering myself with petroleum jelly but, unfortunately, I did two rounds of Accutane and have permanent damage to my nasal mucous membranes not to mention I'm on allergy medication which dries me out to no end, so if I don't stuff Aquaphor up my nose (I know, TMI, sorry) every night I wake up to a bleeding nose. Aquaphor's main ingredient is petrolatum (41%) but I think all the other ingredients are okay.

    Probably none of those would be approved for P2, but I think you have to pick your battles. I live in a very dry climate, so I use carmex on my lips if needed, and sometimes neosporin in my nose if it gets too dry. I put a small amount of Lubriderm lotion (normal unscented stuff) on my face each morning. I use my normal Arrid deodorant. I decided at the beginning that I wasn't going to make adjustments in those areas unless I felt they were really holding me back. I lost 30lbs in my first round and that was all I needed to convince me that my body doesn't react to small amounts of those products. I have avoided putting lotion on my hands because having them dry doesn't bother me that much.
