For Dry Skin "Bought the strawberry coconut smoothie lip balm from Blistex, and when I applied it to my lips, it immediately started to burn, itch, and my lips were very swollen. I wanted to rip my lips off my face!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!"

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 "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 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."

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."

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 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!"

"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 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 had some really dry skin, and the only lotion I found in my apartment was a new bottle of Dermasil. No idea where it came from, maybe I grabbed it on sale, or a friend might have gotten it for me a while ago, and I never used it. So, I used it, and it made my skin burn. But also, after it dried, all the lotion just like came off my face in little balls. It just dried on my skin, it didn't actually absorb into my skin. I noticed it does this also if I rub it in for too long, which really isn't long enough. It acts more like that white Elmer glue and gets sticky, then turns into boogers rather than absorbing into my skin. So, I thought I would look it up to see how bad it is, but a lot of places give it a so-so review, so I don't know, this stuff is pretty bad."

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 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 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 this for a facial scar from a curling iron burn. The first time I used it, my face turned all red, but I wasn't sure it was the cause. So I waited about 2 weeks and tried again. The reaction was so much worse. My face was bright red and burning. The next morning, swelling on that side of my face. A day later, all the skin started peeling. I never had one, but I would explain it like an acid peel. My face peeled for more than a week. Into the trash."

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'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 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 "My daughter had a small irritation on her wrist, and we used this to help it heal. She had a poor reaction to it, with hives and a burning sensation on skin all over her hands and wrist where this lotion touched her. We immediately stopped use. Would not recommend."
