Sadly I am faced with the cold sore virus known as herpes and without fail 2 times a year I tend to get cold sore appearing on my face with can be quite annoying. I usually get them in the change of season like in the summer/winter months. I have use many other products before to try and moisture the lip and others even to dry it out and blisteze really seems to work for me, its not a cure but what I would say is it heals up the process of healing and can also stop symptoms spreading and getting worse across the lip. The best thing is that blisteze really does help stop any stinging feeling on the lips and leaves them feeling soft. I ...  Read the complete review

I've always suffered from dry lips - no, it's worse than that, verging on a dermatological problem, in that the skin around my lips puffs and gets tight and red and dry. It is really incredibly attractive, and actually feels much worse than it looks (even). This used to happen much more when I was younger, in any stressful situation, even when I wasn't aware of feeling stressed, like long journeys for example. It is kind of a self perpetuating situation, because it hurts and looks horrible which makes you feel depressed and more stressed, especially as it tends to happen around special occasions.

I have an awful habit of constantly licking my lips so of course when I do this out in the cold I end up with the dreaded chapped and sore lips.

I found myself using Vaseline most of the time as prevention but if the chapped lip syndrome took bite then Vaseline done little or nothing to help repair the damage. Finally I found the prevention and the cure all in one ...  Read the complete review

I have used Blisteze for years - a year or so ago it was rebranded to Blistex, but still says Blisteze in small letters on the box. It is nearly £3 for a small tube, but it lasts well. It has a very minty scent to it, but doesn't taste very nice if you accidentally get some in your mouth! When applying you get a slight tingling sensation but you soon get used to it. When your lips are extremely dry and chapped, this does give instant relief, as well as helping to improve the condition in general. It is advertised as being used for cold sores. I have never had a cold sore, but use it as an excellent reviver for dry lips. I use it all year ...  Read the complete review
