Frequently asked questions
Is Blistex good for cold sores?
Blistex is best known for lip balms and creams that moisturise and protect dry, chapped or sore lips. A cold sore is a viral infection, so if you think you have one it is best to ask your pharmacist which treatment is suitable. Always read the label and follow the instructions provided for any product you choose.
Is Blistex good for fever blisters?
Fever blisters are another name for cold sores, which are caused by a virus. Blistex lip balms and creams are mainly intended to moisturise and protect the lips rather than to treat viral infections. If you have a fever blister, speak to your pharmacist or GP about the right treatment for you.
Does Blistex cure cold sores?
Blistex lip care is designed to moisturise, protect and soothe the lips rather than to cure infections, so it should not be relied on as a cure. Cold sores are caused by a virus and often settle on their own, but if they are severe, frequent or slow to heal you should see your GP or pharmacist. Always read the label before use.
What does Blistex Intensive Moisture Lip Balm do?
Blistex Intensive Moisture Lip Balm is an everyday balm designed to help hydrate and soften dry lips. Apply it as needed, following the instructions on the pack. It is a handy option to keep in a bag or pocket for regular use throughout the day.
Does any Blistex balm offer sun protection?
Yes, Blistex Med Plus Lip Balm SPF15 combines lip moisture with SPF15 sun protection, which makes it useful in cold, windy or sunny conditions. Reapply as directed on the label, especially after eating or drinking. Always read the label before use.
What is Blistex Relief Cream used for?
Blistex Relief Cream is intended to help soothe and relieve dry, cracked or sore lips. Follow the directions on the label and patient information leaflet, and do not use more than stated. If your symptoms do not improve or get worse, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
What is the difference between Blistex Lip Infusions Restore and the Cherry moisturiser?
Blistex Lip Infusions Restore is a conditioning balm aimed at restoring soft, healthy-feeling lips, while Blistex Lip Intensive Moisturiser Cherry offers intensive moisture with a cherry finish. Both focus on hydration, so the choice mainly comes down to your preference for format and flavour. Always read the label to see what each product contains.
How often can I apply Blistex lip balm?
Balms such as Blistex Ultra Lip Balm and Intensive Moisture Lip Balm can generally be reapplied through the day as your lips need. Follow the dose on the label and patient information leaflet rather than using more than directed. If your lips remain sore despite regular use, ask your pharmacist for advice.
Are Blistex products suitable for children or during pregnancy?
Many lip balms are suitable for general use, but formulations vary, so always read the label first. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or buying for a young child, speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist before use. They can confirm whether a specific product is appropriate for you.
When should I see a pharmacist or GP about sore lips?
Occasional dry or chapped lips can often be managed with a moisturising balm, but you should seek advice if your lips are very painful, cracked, bleeding or not improving. Persistent sores or any lesion that does not heal should be checked by your GP or pharmacist. They can advise on the most suitable treatment for your situation.
