I absolutely love the Basic Brands L-Lysine Lip Ointment! It’s become my go-to for everything — soothing dry lips, keeping them soft, and even preventing irritation or cold sores before they start. The formula with camphor, menthol, and vitamins A & E feels amazing — cooling, comforting, and never sticky. I’ve completely stopped using regular chapsticks since switching to this. It just works so much better. I keep one everywhere — in my car, bathroom, nightstand, purse, and vanity — because I never want to be without it. If you’re looking for something that truly protects and restores your lips (not just covers dryness for a few minutes), this ointment is a total game-changer. Highly recommend! Read more

I absolutely love this stuff. Hydrated lips really well and actually helps prevent cold sores/helps them heal on the off chance I get one. It would be a 5 star product for me except for the dang container. I’ve pitched this twice now - the first one the rim of the container that the lid screws onto started falling apart bit by bit. The second one is as if the lid does not fit correctly. It doesn’t want to turn well when trying to get the lid back on. Read more
I hardly ever write reviews about products but I needed to about this amazing angel of a product. I have unfortunately been a victim of cold sores since I was a child. The weather is my enemy for cold sores. The sun is my enemy. My face gets sunburnt guess what? I get cold sores. I get them on my chin, my nose, the inside of my nose, my lip even my eye. Its so embarrassing literally and the pain that it causes is unbelievable but let me tell you what. I just got this product after trying so many things to help get relief. I started taking the lysine pill twice a day as well. I have cold sores on my nose my chin and my lip from where my face got sunburnt over the weekend and its been a nightmare but OMG this product literally works so good! I have no more redness around the area the nasty embarrassing crusties is literally almost completely gone and btw I had nasty crusties yesterday and got this product yesterday evening and immediately applied. This is an amazing product and it smells good it doesnt feel clumpy it doesnt dry out and look gross and its also lightweight and you can use it for an everyday “chapstick” best believe I will be using this product for the rest of my life. If you take the lysine pills those also work but you have to be consistent but with this product as well! Youll be set its amazing. Ill be taking the lysine pills and using this product just to be on the safe side because im sick of these nasty cold sores its embarrassing and it makes me look disgusting and ugly. Not no more. Be gone cold sores! Helllllo Gorgeous LOL Read more
Works quite well in healing cold sores and moisturizing lips as well. Read more
Absolutely an amazing product. As someone who unfortunately gets cold sores especially when I stress, this product is my daily best friend. I use it everyday just to have moist and soft lips. Actually haven’t had an issue in a long time for cold sores. (And stress has not changed) A little bit goes a long way and last really well. I highly recommend this to anyone I see with a mouth sore.

I’ve been using this and a lysine supplement as preventative for cold sores but I had an 8 hour flight so naturally a cold sore erupted a few days later. I love the taste and smell of this stuff. I think it’s supposed to be unscented but I do get an ever so slight lemon scent. It’s a great regular use lip balm. As far as the actual cold sore went between this and the patches, it stayed in one spot and didn’t bubble down onto my skin like it usually does. I don’t believe I healed any faster than normal as I am day 8 right now and this is where I’m usually at like total and full relief but aftermath is still visible. What I will say is I healed BEAUTIFULLY. My face is usually a total disaster bordering on scaring but as you can see all that I have is a little redness in that spot. I could not be happier with the healing process. Read more
