Tis the season to be ... well, cold and chapped, if you're a pair of lips. Under the influence of wind, weather, and freezing rain, your luscious pout can disintegrate into a cracked, sore mess - and yes, I'm talking to the guys as well as the gals here! Fortunately, help is at hand in the form of Blistex lip relief cream. This little tube contains a penetrating moisturiser (complete with SPF 10 sunscreen) which will leave your lips feeling smooth and silky even in the depths of snowy January. Just apply a very small amount at regular intervals over the day, and even blistered cracked lips will soon soften! Do be aware that this is a medicated product, ...  Read the complete review

Every so often I tend to suffer with the pain and misery of cracks at the corners of my lips and I have intermittently suffered with these symptoms for as long as I can possibly remember. The first time that this caused me major problems when the skin started to bleed, was approximately five years ago when I was considerably run down and hadn't been eating properly at the time and after carrying out some research I learned that this is a common symptom of a deficiency of vitamin B. Consequently, I evaluated my diet and ensured that it consisted of plenty of foods containing this essential vitamin, such as bananas, poultry and fish. Whilst the problem disappeared for a  Read the complete review

I suffer quite often from cold sores and sore chapped lips especially in winter. One of my favourite creams for when my lips are particularly sore and painful is Blistex cream. This little tube of cream used to be called Blisteze but has been called Blistex for a while now and is just the same formula it has always been.

I do have a bit of a problem with the metal tube in that even ...  Read the complete review

After being recommended this product by quite a few friends/family members due to suffering with dry lips very frequently, I thought I would try this product and give up on my ever so loyal tub of vaseline!!! On first use I thought this product was amazing it seemed to moisturise my lips, leaving a soft tingling sensation, really helped to cool the burn and stop the dryness for a few days. After using this product for about a week I noticed I had the beginnings of a cold sore (which I had only ever had once before years ago). This cold sore was so incredibly painful and ended up taking up half of my mouth. I went to the doctors who told me it could ...  Read the complete review

I have a love/hate relationship with lip balms and creams, mostly because my lips are so dry and it doesn't matter what the weather is or what I do I am always in need of something soothing on my lips and because everything I do try don't seem to work and if they do it is short lived. I have especially noticed my skin and lips are suffering more now since I have recently been in and out of hospital and with medication my skin and lips are suffering the drying effects. I bought Blistex Relief Cream a few weeks before hand in Boots for £2.19, which can also be purchased via their online shop boots.com (which I was surprised to see you have to be over 16 to ...  Read the complete review
