Is it good for cold-sore-prone lips?

Yes — it soothes and conditions cold-sore-prone, chapped lips and adds SPF 15, since sun can trigger flare-ups. It isn't an antiviral treatment for an active cold sore.

Does it have sun protection?

Yes — SPF 15, which is useful because sun exposure often dries and cracks lips.

External use on the lips

For external use on the lips only. Stop use if irritation occurs.

Soothes, but not a cold sore antiviral

A medicated lip balm soothes chapped, cold-sore-prone lips but is not an antiviral cold sore treatment. For an active cold sore, ask our pharmacist about an antiviral cream.

Product overview

About Blistex MedPlus

MedPlus is Blistex’s rescue pot: camphor and menthol cool distressed lips on contact while the rich balm soothes and restores moisture — the deep-repair option for lips that ordinary balm has stopped helping. 7ml pot.

The cooling repair formula

Camphor and menthol deliver the signature therapeutic tingle — instant relief for sore, cracked, weather-beaten lips — while the emollient base gets on with rehydrating and protecting. It’s the pot smokers of dry-lip winters keep on the desk.

How to use

Smooth a small amount over lips whenever they need relief — apply generously overnight for the full restore effect. Note this pot version has no SPF; for sun protection use Blistex Ultra SPF50+.
