For Dry Skin "Left my Carmex at home, so I picked up some Blistex medicated lip balm. Within an hour of applying, my lips were drier than when I applied, they itched, were red, and swollen. Went to the doctor, turned out I got a chemical burn from the product. All I could do was apply aloe vera and burn gel. Took a few weeks, and now I'm left with scarring around my lips."

For Dry Skin "A couple of weeks ago, I used a brand new Blistex Fruit Smoothies Strawberry Coconut chapstick. I noticed that my lips started to swell and become scaly, red, and bumpy. I didn’t know what it was, so I went to the pharmacist, who told me it was an allergic reaction. It looked like I had red bumps all around the outer ring as if I had lip injections. It finally calmed down with antihistamines after several days. Then last week, I used the Blistex again, and my lips literally doubled in size and were burning, itching, scaly, and bumpy within hours. I even had difficulty breathing and a tingly throat. I took antihistamines and immediately phoned the doctor. The only change I had was the Blistex, so I went online and found dozens of other similar experiences with this horrible product. I cannot understand how this is on the market, especially since reactions can become worse over time. Absolutely terrible product."

For Dry Skin "I’ve never had a chapstick that I didn't like before, but then I tried Blistex. Absolutely horrible. Gave me swelling, itching, and redness after a light usage. I can’t imagine how horrible it would be if you put a decent amount on your lips. Holy moly, no. NEVER BUY BLISTEX! Wish I could rate it a zero or worse, 1 star gives more justice to the product than it deserves."

"I used this bar of soap in the hotel to wash my face. Within seconds, my face started to burn and swell. My cheeks turned red and purple. Eyes were puffy, as were lips. I took a Benadryl tablet, and after about 2 hours, the swelling started to go down. Some swelling and redness the next day, but much better than it was."

For Dry Skin "2 times now. Each time, had washed face and used toner (different toner and soap each time, and a moisturizer used for years). I avoided the area from nose to chin around lips with toner. Applied the chapstick as moisturizer. Within an hour of applying Strawberry Coconut Smoothie, my lips burned as if I had eaten something spicy. By 4 hours, lips swollen, corners starting to split, redness 1/4 inch around lips. Each time, at the start of irritation, rinsed every couple of hours, lips under cool water from faucet. 2nd day: blisters around inside of lips and they were swollen and burning, dry. The first time, used a mix of refrigerated honey, snail mucin, and aloe vera in a compress of medical gauze - then as dressing as needed to keep lips from drying. Day 3: swollen, burning, skin breaking and raw around edges. Rinsing and plain Aquaphor gel. Antihistamine not helping. Bumps and itching under bottom lip to where chin starts."

For Dry Skin "I'm a diabetic, and my feet become very dry. I applied it to my feet yesterday, and in about 15 minutes, it felt like my feet were on fire. Both feet were beet red, like I had a second degree burn. This is the first and last time I use this product."

"After visits to 2 different dermatologists to treat burning, red, and swollen face, I was put on prednisone and told to use only Vaseline on my face. After 3 weeks, with no symptoms, I used a Cetaphil cleansing cloth 2 nights in a row, and the burning and redness returned."

For Dry Skin "My four-year-old daughter has eczema. And we used it while her skin was, for the most part, clear, and her face broke out with a rash, which she rarely gets a patch on her face, but this was full-blown all over her face. She looked like she was sunburned. And her eczema broke out all over her skin, as usual, but either the medicine did not work or it aggravated it more because this was her worst breakout ever. Redness everywhere in larger patches than usual and redder than usual. I had to go back to the steroid crème to clear it off. How disappointing. I just tried it again last night, and her face has broken out and gotten red overnight."

For Vaginal Dryness "Recommended by both gyno and fam doctor. Been using it for a few months but will discontinue use. Has helped a bit but lots of side effects. From the start, have had lots of white papery discharge, some burning, redness. Was told to continue use but discharge now brownish, more abdominal cramps, lots of burning, redness on vestibule. Very painful! Not applying again…"

"Was using this cleanser for over 2 years. Sadly, I tried using it again yesterday due to my oily skin and unfortunately developed an allergic reaction to it. Face was really red, irritated, bumpy, and had little tiny white heads all around the cheek area and chin. Can’t be the same about this product as I used to. Wouldn’t recommend to extremely sensitive skin."

For Dry Skin "My doctor recommended Eucerin for dry skin on my lower leg. Eucerin caused an immediate redness that did not subside for several hours. I threw the remaining Eucerin in the garbage. I do not recommend it."
