The tube itself may not look very stylish but the stuff inside is what matters. I have really dry lips (and I keep biting them which makes them worse but habits are hard to break!) and blistex is a godsend. The 4 bucks are really worth it. You can find it easily @ Wal-mart.

I can not live without this product!!! It is by far the best thing I have ever used to keep my lips from getting dry or chapped. I love the tingly feeling I get when I put it on, letting me know that it is working. I have tried other products from Blistex, but this is by far the best.

I love this medicated lip ointment it works just as well as any of my prescribed meds for cold sores. It works real wonders for soft and kissable lips. However, this does not replace my daily lip balm. I only use this product when I really am in a desperate need to nourish my lips.

Your lip's lifeboat. When all else fails, and your lips are absolutely ravaged, your blistex will always be there for you. I live in Northern Vermont, were we have gone weeks on the down side of zero degree weather. The wind, cold, and drying lipstick leaves my lips looking terrible. this product saves me every day. I wipe some on after I've washed my face, then continue with my routine, shoving it in my pocket for later.
It seems to be waterbased - is light and absorbs quickly with no residue. It does not sit on your lips, so you don't have to worry about it interfering with your lipstick. The tip lets it glide on without a mess. You do not need to lob it on, even in the worst of conditions, so $2 will last all winter long.
