Is it like a regular chapstick in how you apply it? If yes, doesn't that risk spreading your cold sore to the rest of your lips?

It is like a regular chapstick...I use it almost everyday to prevent from getting a cold sore. I have not gotten a cold sore since using it, so not sure about the risk of spreading the cold sore.

Yes its like a Chapstick use it everyday to prevent them from appearing. If you have a sore, do not use it directly into the infected area. It does cause it to spread. What I do is take a q-tip and apply it only to the affected area. In my experience it speeds up the healing time. Once it's completely gone then use it as a regular Chapstick again. Good luck

It does not taste great so lips may not be a good idea. In my family, we use this under and around the eyes of everyone. It is great for adult eyes too. It does not sting.

It doesn't really. I mean if you really get it in your mouth I'm sure it would be gross, just as any lip stuff would be. But in terms of taste, i have no issues with it and I'm really picky about smelly lip stuff. I accidently got the Honey Berry kind and I didn't like it at all, but the regular one I LOVE. I buy like 6 at a time and stash them everywhere.

What I really liked about it is it did not make my skin thin.Also it has worked for my nails. Some moisturizers make the end of my nails split.This does not. I use the night cream 24°. I am not a model just a regular 60year old. I still have some wrinkles. I work with the public and get compliments on my skin.Mom taught us to take care of our skin.I started win cold cream.Do not smoke or drink and eat well and sleep well.

It's smooth & homogeneous, melts when spread on your skin. I don't know the manufacturing process but works amazingly well, soothing on small cuts 00000 scratches. Great on chapped lips too. Virtually scent free too! It lasts very long but I always reorder more when I get down to last 1/4. My wife & I also use it as a face. We love as do friends we've recommended it to.

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

If you put it directly on the cold sore it will burn butif you apply it to the surrounding area the benefits of the oil will work.

Again, do not brush it on and I do not use mouthguards for the remineralization get. Just put a little on the sore areas (see below) then let it sit for a minute or two as it dissolves in saliva then either swallow or spit....I spit it out, of course, and it is not at all unpleasant--very minty like toothpaste. If you want to let it stay 10 minutes, for example, apply and try not to swallow! Only a few seconds are needed for relief of pain so just spit it out after a minute or two. Reapply later if needed--but I have never needed to.....

I only use it when I get a cold sore and no I don't mix it with anything just use a q-tip to apply it. It is antiseptic like could try it on breakouts and see if it would speed healing, it works great on cold sores and works pretty fast.

Absolutely. It's better than any chapstick you'll ever find. My kid's lips get chapped in the winter a lot because we live up in the cold mountains. We put this on them at night when they go to bed and they are always healed up before morning.

To be honest their all the same so I couldn't say I bought them cuz I was tired of the stick lip balm & these Flavors are better then all the other Lip Balms!! Not sure if that answers your question although I haven't received any chapped or hurt lips through the purchase of these!!

There was some 'graininess' but it never seemed to pose a problem for me. It won't hurt it if you warm it slightly as with setting it in a cup of hot water for awhile. Your body heat would probably work with the honey on a bandage but the water would work best. It would be best to keep the actual applicator end out of the water but as with any honey the crystallizing is not abnormal. I visited my foot doctor this morning and she recommended the honey to another patient who had foot ulcers like myself. Both of us are a testament that the product works. My foot sores of almost a decade old are completely healed and his are very close. Good luck! There was some 'graininess' but it never seemed to pose a problem for me.

I believe that's a question best suited for your veterinarian. However, I don't see why not. This stuff is amazing in how it revitalizes your skin. My girlfriend was using chapstick to try and combat some seriously cracked lips recently and I told her that there's more harm than good that chapstick does as far as moisturizing and to try a bit of Aquaphor on her lips before bed instead. Two days later... I was a happy man and those were some soft lips. ;)

I have no idea. I bought these my mother and since I sent them to her she hasn't had a cold sore. I guess that's a good thing. I really can't see why you couldn't use another one right away.

Yes it is, and I love it. I put it on my lips every night before I go to bed. And wake up with the softest lips. This winter was the hardest I can remember, and this product helped me keep my lips from being so chapped and bleeding. I love.......... it. A little goes a long way.

Yes, you just use it like you would any hand or body lotion. It is just not liquid like many hand lotions are. It is called "butter" for a reason. Even tho it is solid, it is soft and smooth as soon as you start to rub it in. I do not use any other product anymore. Our entire family uses this daily.

Use it the night before the needed day and it works great! it'll last about a week. i've never used it on my upper lip but I have used it on my forehead and around my hairline where I sweat alot. U can use a cotton ball to apply. There is a minor itchiness and some redness that sometimes occur at that night, the redness dissapears but the itchiness sometimes occurs during the day. The redness might have occurred when I scratch it lol. I use this for working out (during school) i sweat so much before using this, my whole shirt would be soaked after the class and I would still be sweating but now it's like i'm part of the normal sweating people.
