I can't live without this stuff when my cold sores flare up. It's the only thing besides a prescription cream that knocks the sores down and keeps them soft so they don't scab up and itch. I...

I love this stuff! Makes my lips soft and purdy. Super cheap, so you don't have much to lose. :-)

This stuff is a nice remedy for the cold sores you develop during the winter. It's also a great overnight lip treatment for dry, cracked lips. The taste of it is a weird vanilla/petroleum flavor,...

I used to use this so much in high school. It's addictive, not sure why. Maybe it is the kind of minty (yet not minty...maybe menthol?) feel it gives your lips or the glossy shine. The only...

I like it. It's helped my lips a lot. & I like the tingle. It doesn't last very long, though. This is one of like 3 different lip "treatments" I always use.

I use this to reapply lip balm the whole day. I have no qualms using it as many times as I want since I can get it for 88 cents. For that price it does its basic job nicely and it has SPF. It's...

It's easy to turn up your nose at the ugly yellow container, but this stuff works. The salicylic acid does a great job deflaking lips. The taste is awful and I wish it didn't say "cold sores" on...

Can't live without this. I use this as a base for my lipstick and it keeps my lips nicely moisturized and also makes lipcolor more shinier for some reason. I use the stick rather than the pot.

great treatment for the winter months and also great for priming lips before applying lipgloss ot lipstick. Keeps lips soft and prevents cracking. I like that they make this in tubes and sticks now...

YUCK! I know this isn't made for taste, but let's face it...anything you put on your lips is likely to end up in your mouth somehow or another. I have to be extremely careful while wearing this...

This stuff is addictive and tingly because it is made to dry out cold sores. That's why you want to use it all the time - it does the complete opposite of moisturizing your lips. No wonder...
