I have eczema on my lips that flares up during the winter, so I was unbelievably excited when I saw this hydrocortisone lip balm mentioned in a Best Lip Balm article on Wirecutter. This stuff really works, and it’s genuinely long-lasting. I put it on before bed when I’m having a flare-up and my lips are super chapped, and in the morning, all the dead skin peels right off, leaving soft, moisturized lips behind. I usually only use this lip balm when I’m especially chapped/having an eczema flare because hydrocortisone is a steroid, so it can thin the skin with long-term use. Obviously, it’s a little pricey, but it’s worth every penny. Love that it’s unscented, too, because my eczema is triggered by scented products. 10/10 recommend!!! Read more

BEST OF ALL TIME! While on Accutane, I tried more chapsticks than I can name, and this one was BY FAR the best for chapped lips. Now that being said, it is most definitely a medical chapstick, so expect it to smell and taste as such, but it DEFINITELY works. If you have severely chapped lips and are looking for relief, this one is for you Read more

Dr. Dan’s Cortibalm is the only lip balm that has truly healed my severely chapped lips. I noticed a difference within just a couple of days — the cracks, dryness, and irritation calmed down so quickly. It’s gentle enough for kids but strong enough to give fast relief. I’m so grateful to have finally found something that actually works! Read more

This was recommended to me by my dermatologist and I will buy this over and over again! It’s the only chapstick that works on my lips! I have sensitive skin as well as eczema and regular chapstick always makes my lip 10x worse! De. Dans clears and heals my lips up almost instantly! I always refer people to buy this because of how wonderful it works!!! Read more

I was recommended by my dermatologist to get this as I suffer from eczema and have had the worse spell of my lips itching and never experienced this before. I used it and seemed to help at first but it seems as I almost got used to it by time I used the whole stick that it wasn’t helping much anymore. I probably would still buy again as it was nice and helped but didn’t really go away. Still have yet to find any that has completely healed it. Read more

I have never left a review ever but this product completely healed my lips, and so quickly as well!! For a few years, after my lips got severely burnt, it felt like my lips were sensitive to EVERYTHING. Eating certain foods would irritate, and make my lips itchy. And though I often wore chapstick, my lips were moisturized with tiny flakes?? It was a weird thing, but it with whatever was going on with my lips, I just wished I had normal chapped lips like everyone else. When I tried this product, I immediately noticed my lips feeling mositerized again!!! My lips don’t itch / get irritated anymore!!!! This is insane how much it healed my lips, and I’m so thankful to just have normal chapped lips like everyone else :) Read more

THIS WAS A GODSEND!!! I have eczema and I noticed that I would get a super small patch around my eye that would then disappear and show up again at random times but the patch would migrate around my face/eye area. Now, I had a full blown dry eczema patch around my lips and NOTHING WORKED FOR LONG I tried ceramides, aquaphor, vaseline, exfoliating gently then putting oils and the patch would get dry and flakey again. I put this on at night and then a thick layer of aquaphor and the next morning I had a good sized dry skin flake come off my lips and then underneath would be smooth moisturized lips. This is going to be a staple for me during the dry fall/winter months. But also remember this is A STEROID LIP BALM I plan on only using this at night and see what's the least amount of times I can use it. Read more

Magnificent! I get recurrent eczema flareups on my lips often and nothing worked long enough until I found this. This product constantly keeps my lips moisturized, supple, smooth, and they are so much healthier now that they are a little lighter and pinker, and they almost look a little fuller because of the health.
