For Dry Skin "I applied raspberry lemonade Blistex, and my lips started burning, and within a few hours, I developed blisters under my lip and my lips were swollen. I must be allergic to an ingredient in this type of Blistex because the plain liquid type has never caused a reaction."

For Dry Skin "I bought this same lip balm, Blistex Orange Mango Blast, and my lips swelled up, and now they are bumpy, scaly, and burning! I have been putting plain Vaseline on my lips because they are so dry and chapped. I believe it was this lip balm because I have had no other problems before using this product!"

For Vaginal Dryness "Vaginal dryness attacks fast with menopause. When I started Replens, I had the shedding and white clumps. Stick with it, three months in, everything is better. I can be intimate, no more burning. It takes a little time and will burn at first, but it's worth it."

"I wish I had read or heard about these reviews before I made the mistake of purchasing some Blistex. 15 minutes after using, my lips were itchy and red. I woke up with them super swollen and burning, which lasted for well over 24 hours. It hurt!"

For Dry Skin "Used CeraVe moisturizer lotion on face and neck. Within 20 minutes, skin extremely red and burning. I believe the ingredient 'niacinamide' is the culprit. I have used retinoids for years without any problems."

For Dry Skin "I can’t sleep, so itchy and burning sensation all over my arms, neck, and shoulders. I have been using the natural Glow for 3 days. Never thought it could be this. But it’s the only thing I put on my body after showering for 3 days in a row. Afraid to read the ingredients - omg, prickling, burning sensation all over my arms, especially in the creases. Feels like hives."

For Dry Skin "I used the raspberry lemonade Blistex, and it has my lips itchy, burning, and blistering. I have just figured out that this is what's causing this reaction, as I have had it at least 5 times this year. I have been thinking it's something I ate."

For Dry Skin "I should've read these reviews first, but I trusted the brand after a pharmacist recommended their foot cream, and their words on healing my eczema. Their lotion, however, burns and causes more itching. Why don't they ever have testers for these?"

For Vaginal Dryness "It burned pretty bad the first time I used Replens. I also tried prescription Imvexxy, and it burned. I’m now trying hormone pellets and a hormone cream because I cannot have intercourse because that burns too. I am so frustrated. I can see why women give up intercourse. I won’t be using the Replens again."

For Dry Skin "Dr. prescribed for dry skin. The burning sensation on first application is horrible. I stayed with it for 5 days, then red hive-like bumps began occurring by second day with terrible itching. It is the worst over-the-counter drug reaction I have ever had. I would not recommend."

For Vaginal Dryness "About 10 min after using Replens, I felt the leaking and started getting a burning feeling, so I googled it and found this site. Like everyone else, I wish I had seen this first. The burning started to get more intense. Luckily, I have a shower that also has a handheld sprayer. I went in and spread my vag and sprayed cool water inside for a while to try to flush it out. Not sure how far up it went, but the burning stopped and it felt better. Tossed the rest of the box. Will now try to figure out some other way to get rid of dryness to alleviate painful sex."

For Dry Skin "My teen daughters have used Cetaphil products for quite a few years on the recommendation of our dermatologist. It's always worked very well. I just bought more of the daily cleanser for them, and the bottles say 'new and improved.' Soon after using it, their skin began to burn and turn red and bumpy. I applied cortisone cream, which helped a bit, but it is still red and sore this morning. Imagine a 13-year-old going to school with her skin looking like that -- how humiliating. I see in these comments that this is happening to lots of people using the new version. Why did they change a perfect product? I don't know which ingredient is the culprit, but we'll be searching for another brand."

For Dry Skin "I bought the gentle skin cleanser for aging dry skin and have finally realized that this is the reason my face and eyelids burn after using this product. It is anything but gentle! I would NOT recommend this cleanser at all. It has left my eyelids with a bumpy rash! Do not waste your money!"

For Dry Skin "I decided to try CeraVe because I suffer from eczema on my face and I tend to have dry patches of skin. I used this product the morning I got it, and my face immediately became irritated. I had red, itchy patches all over my face, especially on my eyelids, that felt hot to the touch. It's like my face was burning, and it actually made it more dry. I finally decided to wash my face a couple of times with my normal cleanser and use my normal moisturizer. It felt a little better after that, but is still itchy and red, my only relief right now is an ice pack. I am hoping within a couple of days it will subside. Horrible product."

For Dry Skin "I used Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream on my very dry, painfully cracked hands after my husband bought it. I had tried many other moisturizers and natural oils that did nothing. After one use, I woke up with healed hands! HOWEVER, my 8-year-old daughter complained a few days later that her hands hurt. They were incredibly dry and chapped. So, I thought since the Cetaphil worked so well on me, it would do the trick. WRONG. She screamed and cried. It burned, blistered, and made her hands raw and bloody within minutes! The worst part is...it is a cream, so I couldn't get it off or neutralize it. I don't know what is in there that some are allergic to, but it is VERY dangerous."

For Dry Skin "I have been using Blistex Mango Blast for years. I went to use it again one night (about 6 weeks ago) after not using it for a month or so. My lips became itchy, inflamed, and blistered. It took a couple of weeks to resolve. I opened a brand new one and tried it again, thinking that the other one may have been expired or contaminated. The blisters, rash, peeling, itching, and burning on my lips are even worse. It’s been a week, and my lips are still oozing and bleeding. I’m never using that again!"

For Dry Skin "I've been using the Blistex lip conditioner for a few days now, mostly at night when my lips are super dry. I'm unwell, so having to breathe solely through my mouth is drying out my lips. As soon as I apply, my lips start to feel like they're on fire. This sensation remains even after I wipe it off for around an hour or more. It's currently been off for 30 minutes, and the burning sensation is still there. Ouch!"

For Vaginal Dryness "I've been experiencing a lot of dryness and tearing, especially since my hysterectomy, and was recommended this to combat my symptoms; the side effects aren't really worth it, though. The discharge I can understand, but after a few uses, it feels like any irritation I had is just getting worse. It stings when I put anything in my vagina now, and since I also tried to use it externally, my vulva has been itching and burning for days. I wanted to be patient and see how I'd fare after a few more doses, but things just keep going downhill, so I'm going to find another product instead. Replens does help with dryness, but that's the only good thing I think I can say about it."

For Dry Skin "Being in the medical profession, I’m, of course, always the worst trying to self-diagnose, lol. Off and on, I’ve used the Blistex Smoothies since about August/September last year. Since my lips seem to always get dry the older I get, I always have some brand nearby. This bout of swollen, burning lips got me really upset. I seem to get them at least once every couple of weeks since last year. Started looking at the ingredients of the stick in front of me (Strawberry Coconut) and saw these side effects and comments from others! OMG, how is this still being sold! Thank God I found out thought I was having burning mouth syndrome. In the trash all of them, including medicated ones!!!"

For Dry Skin "I started taking CeraVe, and I developed full face itching, burning, and peeling in spots. The skin around my eyes became red and swollen as well. I don't have sensitive skin and was surprised at this reaction. I stopped using the medication and applied pure aloe vera gel daily and cortisone cream for itching. It’s been a few days now, and the redness is nearly gone, but my skin is still peeling in spots."
