Blistex Lip Balm
Hi all!
This is my first review and I hope you all like it. I pondered a lot about what product should I choose, and I thought this would be helpful to all ladies out there who have dry lips.
I never had extra dry lips but since the time I have started taking treatment for Acnes, my lips had become coarse. I could not use any lip product however moisturizing it may be. I discussed this problem with my dermat and she suggested me to use Blistex lipbalm. Since all the medicines prescribed by her costed a bomb, I thought this might not be less than 500 INR. But I was pleasantly surprised that I was of 95 INR only. My Doc had told me that it can heal any kind of dry lips, and is the best lip balm she had known. I had to trust her because anyways my lips were pleading for help! I had to give it a try.
Believe me; itโs too good to be true. I am a hoarder of lipbalms and have them from every brand possible but since the time I have started using this lipbalm I have not touched any other from my kitty. Donโt get misguided by its humble price, it can beat any lipbalm. Let me give you all the details.
Price and Quantity: 95 INR for 4.25 gms.
Packaging: It comes in a sturdy teal colored packaging.
Active Ingredients: Dimethicone, Oxybenzone, Padimate O
Uses: Helps prevent and temporarily protects chapped, cracked or windburned lips. Helps prevent sunburn. Higher SPF provides more sunburn protection.
Directions: Apply liberally and evenly before sun exposure and as needed. Discontinue use if rash or irritation occurs. Store in a cool place.
The medical store guy did not ask me what flavor I wanted and I never thought a medicated lipbalm would come in flavors. But I just noticed(while writing the review) that the flavor I have got is Regular. That does not matter to me anyways because I am so happy with this, flavor or no flavor.
Pros of Blistex Lip Balm
1. Cheap
2. Medicated product sans any color.
3. Doesnโt alter the color of the lipstick.
4. Has SPF
5. Sturdy packaging
6. Has no flavor
7. Has a mild minty smell which is not bothering
8. Effective for 6-7 hours
9. Easily available in Medical stores.
Cons of Blistex Lip Balm
1. I did not find any to be honest
Final rating: 5/5
Will I repurchase: Always. Itโs cheap and my emergency lipbalm.

Welcome to IMBB ILa.. ๐ Nice review for a great product.. ๐
Thanks dear! everyone should have this! its an emergency lipbalm when ur lips are suuuper dry!
Thanks :). Its a good thing to have! just try it once and u’ll know
Ila.. Thanks for the nice review. And now I know why it is rated as the best lip balm. I read it somewhere that in an online report, blistex was rated as the best lip balm of all.
Yes when I asked my doc who BTW charges a bomd(2000 INR), she suggested me this. I was thinking this would cost me very much as she said its the best lip balm in market. But I was surprised to find it in the nearby medical store and at this price!
Is it? I got it coz I would have bought anything under in my condition. but this has been my saviour!
It contains dimethicone. I am afraid now of any silicones… However, I read on a website that Dimethicone has got an approval to be used in cosmetics and lotions etc because their molecular size prohibits it from entering your skin through the pores so it wont enter your body when applied on skin.
what do the IMBB beauties have to say about it?
I am also waiting for other girls to share their thoughts. and team, thanks for posting my review ๐
I’ve read really great reviews about this brand…..awesome review Ila!! ๐

Great review…..I have been loving the Lotus Vanilla Lip Balm off late but would try this next !!

hi Ila,
Very nice review. I wanna ask something. Do you think it would be effective on my dark colored lips. Actually I m looking for smthing that can turn my dark brown lips into rosy pink ones, hope u will answer soon ๐
Hey dear!
TO be honest, I am not sure on this part, but since it has SPF it will help to some extent. I will confirm with my Doc on my next visit and let u know.
Thanks Ila, So nice of you ๐
I will be waiting…..
sure :). I will try to know as soon as possible
hi Ila. very nice review. what is the amount of SPF in it?
SPF 15 dear ๐
I m using this lip balm now for 5-6 days regularly. Though its nice as a lip balm
– it moisturises very well
– & it stays really long. I apply it b4 going to bed & its still thr in d morning on my lips!!
But 2 things
– I feel a layer of it sitting on my lips all d time
– its kind of hard, I mean it doesnt feel soft & smooth, and thr is no shine whatsoever.
Though I like it as a lip balm but I prefer lotus herbals over it.
