For Dry Skin "I ran out of my Carmex, and I was at the store. I picked up Blistex strawberry lemonade ChapStick on Tuesday. I used it, and I woke up in the middle of the night with tingly burning of my lips. When I looked in the mirror, my lips were so red and swollen! It's been 4 days, and they're still burning, tingling, and swollen! Don't buy it! And if you have it, throw it away!"

For Dry Skin "Had chapped lips the other night and couldn't find my EOS (what I usually use for lip balm), so I used the berry smoothie Blistex. The next day, my lips were still chapped, so I found my EOS and used that. Last night, I used Blistex and woke up with my lips extremely swollen, tingly, dry, and red, and they haven't gone down, and it's been hours."

For Dry Skin "I used this chapstick, and within hours, I woke up to tingling, burning, itching lips. And they've been like this for a week now. I do not recommend. I used the strawberry coconut fruit smooth Blistex."
