Dr. Dan's Cortibalm Lip Balm 3-Pack for Severely Chapped Dry & Cracked Lips

The title says it all. This is perfect for injured lips - soothes and never ever burns even on bleeding lips and it creates a smooth barrier. I have no complaints about smell or taste - I don’t really notice anything. This saved my life when I was on accutane.

I’ve tried countless lip balms over the years, but Dr. Dan’s Cortibalm 3-Pack is the only one that actually worked for me. Here’s why I highly recommend it: Pros: • Effective Relief: I’ve struggled with dry, cracked lips for a long time, especially during colder months. This balm is the only one that has provided real relief. It heals and moisturizes my lips quickly, leaving them soft and smooth. • Gentle and Non-Irritating: Unlike other balms that can sting or feel harsh on cracked lips, Dr. Dan’s is gentle and soothing. It provides instant comfort without irritation. • Long-Lasting Moisture: A little goes a long way. It lasts for hours, keeping my lips moisturized even in harsh weather. • Value Pack: Getting three in a pack is a great deal, especially since this has become my go-to lip balm. I keep one in my bag, one at home, and one in the car, ensuring I’m never without it. • No Unpleasant Fragrance: It has a mild, almost neutral scent, which I appreciate as some lip balms have overpowering fragrances that I don’t like. Cons: • Slightly Greasy Texture: It’s a bit on the greasy side compared to some other balms, but I personally don’t mind since it works so well for my dry lips. Overall: Dr. Dan’s Cortibalm is truly a lifesaver. After trying many other products with no success, this is the only one that consistently works to heal and protect my lips. The 3-pack is a great value, and I’ll definitely be sticking with this balm from now on!

When I told my dental hygienist that my lips felt thick and almost a bit numb she suggested Dr. Dan's Cortibalm. She said her mother got relief with it. I have tried everything -- Burt's bees, O-Keefe's, Blistex, and even the luxury brand Nuxe honey lip balm (nuxe worked the best of those). It almost felt like my lips were allergic to something I was ingesting, but I was very interested when I found that this balm has 1% cortisone in it. Gave it a try and I am ordering more so I have them all around the house and in my purse. It worked and has kept my lips feeling normal. Thank goodness. Some complain about a bad flavor but I only taste a LITTLE bit of beeswax, and if you use Burt's Bees lip balms you have that already and Burt's is a stronger bees wax taste. I just ordered four more Cortibalm sticks and will keep using it. My hygienist was right -- this is the one to try when you have tried everything else. YAY!!

This tastes disgusting but works better than anything I've tried. I found a Vaseline based lip balm (ready that a petroleum-jelly is best) and due to overuse caused my lips to get very irritated and infected. They got so bad in areas I could feel occasional pus. Too busy to go to the doctor so researched on my own. I found a $28 gloss base that said it would heal. I was desperate. I could feel a tingle, hoping it was working. I had been struggling for at least a month and half. My lips would try to heal and cause my skin to dry and flake but it wasn't really healing. So disgusting. I researched further and found this medicated option. Much more cost friendly. I've been using it for over a week and my lips are almost healed. I find I don't lick my lips as often because it doesn't taste good and the balm is solid on my lips. This stuff is Amazing!! I threw out my petroleum based products.

My doctor recommended this product. At first I thought it would be like other balms I've used. It's better. It actually HEALS my lips, not just covers them.

I think this is a great product when used short-term and as intended, especially for severely irritated lips. It definitely works, which is probably why it became so easy for me to overuse it. I just wish I had understood sooner that the hydrocortisone makes it different from a regular lip balm and that it isn’t something I should have been applying several times a day for years. If you use it, I’d recommend treating it more like a medicated product than your everyday ChapStick.

We love this lip balm! It was recommended by our dermatologist for our daughter who had a severe eczema rash all around her mouth. We paired it with a prescribed steroid, and this has maintained the progress so we don't have to resort to the steroid as much.

Im just a very happy customer. Its a little pricey for lip balm, but, it feel so much better than Carmex! Ive been buying this product for years.

If you’re on acutane, you must have this!

I’ve been combating dry skin for a year and a half, and this is definitely one of the best products I’ve used. Of course, a big part of that is because it contains hydrocortisone, but it’s so much better than using it from a tube and stays on for quite a while. This will definitely be a go to product in the future. Just make sure to only use it short term due to the steroid content.
