For Dry Skin "My daughter used the orange mango smoothie lip balm last night, and her lips are twice their normal size. They are itchy and painful. She has either had an allergic reaction, or there is something seriously wrong with this product - having just now read all of these comments about allergic reactions. Blistex needs to pull these off the shelf and investigate what ingredient they used that is causing so many reactions. Don’t use this product."

For Dry Skin "After a few hours of using this product (Blistex Fruit Smoothie Strawberry Coconut), my lips were burning, red, and swollen. Haven't used this product in almost 24 hours, and it is still swollen, sore, red, and burning. Do not buy this product."

For Dry Skin "I bought a set of 3 fruit smoothies Blistex lip balms. At work, I ran out of my Burt’s Bees and pulled these guys out. I have been using them at work for 3-4 days and couldn’t figure out why my lips hurt, were scaly, swollen, and really burning (where my lip meets the inside of my mouth). Then I figured out this is the only new thing I have done different. No outdoor time, no new foods, or new face lotions. And even only using them 6 hours a day (then other kinds at home), they have totally blown up my lips! I read these reviews and it confirmed my suspicions! Just don't use these! Yikes!"

For Dry Skin "Within minutes of using the strawberry coconut Blistex lip balm, my lips were itching and starting to swell. Hours later, they are puffed up and burning. Really painful. With so many negative reviews, this product should be pulled from shelves."

For Dry Skin "So I ran out of my normal chapstick, and so I grabbed this one because I figured it's medicated, so it must be good, and after using it for a few days, my lips got SUPER swollen and red and itchy and burning and very, very painful. It's been a few days, and the symptoms haven't gone down at all. I am considering calling my doctor. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT."

For Dry Skin "Only 2 days I used Blistex Lip Medic, and my lips felt raw, were swollen, and hurt like they were cracking. This was very rare since it never happened to me before. The products in this item must be reviewed or removed from the market!"

For Dry Skin "I would give this negative numbers if I could. I used the strawberry coconut on Saturday several times. In a few hours, my lips were on fire, swollen, and hurt greatly. It's Monday and I'm miserable. I have a red dye allergy which was not listed on the package."

For Dry Skin "I bought this, and within 15-20 minutes, my lips were burning and red, swollen blisters. Could barely eat dinner without pain. I haven’t used it since. More than a month later, I still have dark scarring in the corners of my mouth."

For Dry Skin "I used Blistex strawberry banana fruit smoothie several times yesterday and woke up to swollen, red, sore, and tingly lips this morning... not fun. I will never buy Blistex products again."
