About Blistex Relief Cream
The little white tube that's lived in coat pockets for decades: Blistex Relief Cream is a medicated lip treatment for quick relief from occasional cold sores and from cracked, chapped and sore lips. Ammonia and phenol give it its distinctive sharp smell — and its reputation for calming a sore, split lip fast. 5g tube.
Why the classic still sells
A cold sore tingles, a chapped lip splits, and both need something more than a balm. Blistex's medicated formula soothes and helps dry the sore while protecting the skin around it. It's the pocket answer for the early tingle and for winter lips that have gone past what lip balm can fix.
How to use
Apply a small amount to the affected area with a clean fingertip as directed on the pack, repeating as needed through the day. Wash hands afterwards — cold sores spread by touch. Check the label for the minimum age.
Good to know
Cold sores near the eye, sores that keep recurring, or ones that haven't healed in ten days need a pharmacist — there are antiviral creams for the tingle stage. Keep the tube personal; don't share it.

Frequently asked questions
Does it treat cold sores or just soothe them?
It's a medicated soothing treatment for occasional cold sores and sore lips. For frequent cold sores, an antiviral cream used at the tingle stage is worth asking the pharmacist about.
Can I use it under lip balm or lipstick?
Apply it to the sore area first and let it settle; a balm can go over the rest of the lips. Don't share tubes or lipsticks while a cold sore is active.
When should a cold sore see a pharmacist?
If it's near the eye, hasn't healed in about ten days, keeps coming back, or you have a weakened immune system.
