For Dry Skin "I’ve been using this for about 6-7 days, and it was fine at first. My skin felt clean, and out of nowhere, my acne has gotten worse-a pimple a day, and then multiple ones. My face started drying out and itching, and my acne seems to look more like a rash now. Above my lips, it started to peel, and my face feels hot and swollen. I also had a severe swollen throat, which I’ve never experienced, and a hoarse cough and pain in my throat every time I would swallow. The moisturizer made my skin feel oily and over-hydrated, and my lips are red all around, and it just sucks walking around looking like a clown."

For Dry Skin "I used this product for about 2 weeks, eventually stopped because I experienced more redness of the skin and what seemed like breakouts that were inflamed. I decided to try it back a few days ago, thinking maybe it gets bad before it gets good, again, the same issues. Really thought this product was best for my skin since it's made up of mostly everything to use for dry or dehydrated skin."

For Dry Skin "Two days ago, I purchased a Blistex tube called Orange Mango Blast. It smells great, however, it has caused my lips to swell and burn. Normally, I use the mint Blistex and never experience anything like this. Medicinal ingredients are different. Is that the cause of the swelling?"

For Dry Skin "I saw a dermatologist twice this spring for swelling and hives that I thought might be due to sun sensitivity. I changed up my routine to avoid the sun completely and stopped using anything at all on my face. All was well until I tried adding CeraVe back in three days ago. I used the Hydrating Facial Cleanser on my face in the shower, rinsed well, and then applied the Daytime Facial Moisturizer. That was in the morning, and by bedtime, my face was ablaze with the same itchy hives and burning that I had misattributed to the sun before. I washed my face with water, applied cortisone cream, and took two Benadryl. Even still, when I awoke the following morning, my eyes were nearly swollen shut and my cheeks were thick with edema. I repeated the shower-cortisone-Benadryl, and it's getting better, but it will take several more days for all of the swelling and redness to abate. I wouldn't give this stuff to my worst enemy, so these bottles are going into the box for household hazardous waste."

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 "I used Eucerin Christmas Eve for the first time and again on Christmas Day for dry skin on my hands. Both hands turned red, swelled up terribly, became hot to the touch, and itched badly, and I got weird bumps on the back of my hands around my wrists and up toward my forearms. I threw the bottle away. I am still experiencing the symptoms, but they are becoming milder on the 3rd day."

For Dry Skin "I just used this product for the first time, and my whole right side of my face swelled up, and I couldn't see out of my right eye. I also had a reaction on my hands, the rest of my face, and neck. I will be staying far away from 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 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 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 had severe swelling of the nasal passages, skin at the edge of the nostril cracking and eventually bleeding, and severe sinus issues. It took me almost 8 months to determine what was causing my severe nasal issues, and I eventually discovered it was caused by Cetaphil Cleanser. Within 4 days of non-use, all of my condition began to clear up. I will never use it again."

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 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 used this on my hands tonight for the first time ever. Within five minutes, I had intense itching, redness, swelling, and bumps. I had to wash my hands twice and rinse them under cold water. The itching has subsided, but my hands are still swollen, red, and have bumps. I threw the rest away, never again."

I will not recommend it, and I want to go see a doctor now because my lips are swollen so bad. I’m so mad now."

For Dry Skin "Horrible experience. I applied it on my face and neck. I had one pimple, I woke up to inflamed, red, itchy skin. I got hives, and my face was so swollen. Two days later, and I'm still dealing with it. Will never use again. I only used one time."

For Dry Skin "Used this Neutrogena French-milled soap in a Hampton Inn. Next morning, I was swollen and red. Didn’t think too much about it, but the second day it was twice as bad. Ended up at a walk-in clinic because it was the weekend. Injection, cortisone cream, and 6 days of steroids. Never itched so much in my life. So glad I only washed my face. Hilton needs to pull this soap."

For Dry Skin "After using CeraVe Eye Repair Cream for two nights, I woke up at 2 a.m. with extreme itching around my eyes. I woke up, and they appeared wrinkly and red, so I washed it off, took a Benadryl, and went to bed. Woke up even worse, like very red, swollen elephant skin. Used some Vanicream HD (hydrocortisone), and later in the day it's still very red and hot all around my eyes. I don't understand it because the ingredients seem fairly innocuous."

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!"

"Two old lip balms by Blistex - one strawberry flavor (red) and one natural (blue) - caused lip stinging, swelling, and peeling three times in me, a 68-year-old healthy woman. When I worked out what probably caused it, I threw them away. The blue one had no list of ingredients. The red one listed its ingredients. My lips calmed down with Vaseline, aka petroleum jelly."

For Dry Skin "This gave me an extreme allergic reaction over my entire body. Within three days, my feet were blood red, extremely itchy, hot, and uncomfortable. Finally, I had to go to the emergency room. Treatment was only for my left foot, however, both feet, both legs, my entire stomach, my mouth, and lips are swollen. Inside my nose is scabbed. Still itching deep into my palms and cannot stop clawing my palms. I have discontinued for 5 days now and am still itching! I still look like a burn victim with an extensive rash. My doctor did not recommend I place Mederma on moist skin. He also tried to push this off on a new soap? New food? What the heck!"
