Menthol Menthol
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lip ointment works fine. I don’t notice a lot of difference in longevity of the product. I feel like it doesn’t last very long and like it clumps up around my lips as I speak. I’m also not a big fan of the menthol. I can see that a lot of people would like this, but it is just not for me.

Actually hydrating
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks nice says it’s larger size has a menthol smell to it but doesn’t give a burn so that’s nice made my lips feel slightly dry at first. It drys pretty fast so doesnt rub off when eating or drinking. Lasts while before you would have to reapply

Hydrating and protecting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lip ointment is super hydrating and gives exactly what it says, maximum protection. I struggle with dry/chapped lips and noticed a big improvement quickly when using this product. It is easy to apply but note that it does leave a nice subtle sheen- it is not matte. Love!

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product came out white but applied clear. Not sticky had a smooth texture that lasted about an hour before I no longer felt it. Did seem a bit minty. Liked the smaller size packaging to throw in a bag or pocket to be lightweight. Would consider buying in the future seemed to work well for me

You want this for your dry/ damaged lips
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The absorption of this product is absolutely amazing. It protects your dry lips and the durability is seen in the product. The scent is not really a smell as this is also a good thing!

It works!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t like the smell when it’s first applied, but it goes away quickly and the effect is worth it. It feels very minty and cool on your lips, almost like the feeling after you’d brush your teeth. Give it a try if you have dry lips especially during winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect lip ointment for daily use. If you are someone who is sensitive to scents, I will say it has a medicated smell to it. It also kind of tingles a bit.

Clears up dry lips!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Blistex Maximum Hydration Lip Ointment for the past week and it works great. It really does hydrate my lips when they get extra chapped. I live in an area that gets pretty windy so this is a lifesaver for me. The item itself is not too big so I would say it’s not your everyday chapstick but an ointment you use when your lips gets really dry and chapped. I like it a lot and will continue using it.

Maximum hydration lip ointment Maximum hydration lip ointment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It goes on, smooth with maximum hydration and no residue. It keeps your lips moisturized. The value is great for the size that you get. If you have dry lips, this is the medicated formula that you need.

Glides on easily and my lips feel so smooth!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tube is a good size and it comes out nicely to give full coverage! I like the way my lips tingle and they feel smooth once I put it on! It apples easily, and it has that distinct Blistex smell that just makes you feel like it’s working! Really like the way it almost makes my lips feel plumper!

Great lip care.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far my wifes favorite when winter hits (and any other time). It goes on easily and has no residue. It makes your lips fell smooth and supple. If you have cracking it helps tremendously. I will definitely be getting more of this

Medicinal smell
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will start with appreciating the hydrating qualities of this lip ointment. However, the smell is so horrible that I had to wipe it off just after 10 minutes. I get it that it's medicated but smell like this should not be applied right under the nose. Other than that, the consistency is good and packaging is perfect but I'm not going to use this ointment.

Great hydrating product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical. I haven’t used blistex since I was a kid. It brings me back to 30 years ago. I enjoyed this product. I’ve been having issues finding ointments that works and doesn’t make my lips worse than before I started. This product doesn’t cause my sensitive skin to be irritated. This is one of the few products that I will absolutely buy again. Not just for me but for my family.

Perfect for all day hydration.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Blistex Maximum Hydration Lip Ointment lives up to its name. I used this on my slightly sunburnt lips. The lip applicator made it easy to apply. It has a minty scent with a little tingly feel and left my lips with a good lipgloss shine. The ointment helped my sunburnt lips within using it for 24 hour. The dryness was gone and it left my lips feeling smooth and soft.

Maximum Hydration!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m constantly reaching for the Blistex Maximum Hydration Lip Ointment. It leaves my lips feeling SO moisturized and for SO long. I love the applicator tip as well, almost like you’re putting on a nice little lip gloss (and it leaves your lips looking like you did too!). The only part I don’t love is that it smells a bit strong and like a medicine but for what it does for my lips, totally worth it.

Long lasting moisture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Blistex Maximum Hydration lip ointment for dry, chapped lips. It feels soothing and moisturizing without being overly heavy. It also leaves my lips feeling soft and hydrated. Definitely a great option when my lips need some extra moisture.
