Blistex Five Star Lip Protection SPF 30 0.15 oz

In this really frigid cold weather all the other lip protections still left my lips chapped. I was really happy to find this because Blistex products have always been good for my lips, but this one takes the cake whether I’m outside all day. I apply it when I go out and then a few hours later and when I come back inside. My lips are smooth with no try cracking. This really is the best!!

Great lip balm. The spf 30 is also a great add on to protect my lips from the sun.

This is my go-to lip balm for any season. It keeps my lips hydrated, smooth and protected, even in the harsh sun or cold wind. The SPF 30 is a huge plus and it never feels greasy or heavy. A true must-have for daily lip care!

Confession: I am addicted to lip balm. Call it salve, gloss, treatment, tint, moisturizer, stain - if it goes on the lips I am an addict that always has at least 2-3 tubes of the aforementioned within arm's reach at any given time so like to think I'm a good judge of what's great. This product is not great. It is, however, good. Not great, not stellar, not notable, but good. I suffer from super dry lips, a condition I probably created myself due to always piling on the chapstick, so when I'm normally reaching for something to put on quickly, I usually land on something that's moisturizing, since dryness is my biggest concern. A while ago was surfing Amazon for more lip things to hoard, specifically lip balm with sunscreen to use on my bike rides, and came across this product. Was a few dollars more than other similar products but I'm a simpleton that likes shiny things, loved this packaging, loved the SPF, so ordered one. It arrived the night before a 2hr bike ride I wanted to use it on, so I tested it. Slathered it on and immediately noticed that it seemed waxy. I rubbed my lips together and did a few things around the house then went back to the mirror to see how it was doing. It looked great! BUT... still waxy. It hadn't melted into my lips at all. They didn't feel moisturized, but like the Blistex was still just sitting on top of my lip like actual wax. Okay. Well, it was cool in my house and the next day would be sunny and warm, maybe it'd meld more then. No. Hot bike ride next day, 2hrs of having to reapply what seemed like every 15 minutes and my lips were super coated, but also still super dry. It was irritating, so once I got back home I re-checked the tube and realized something - it didn't say moisturizing. It never did. It said Lip Protection. Big difference. And now it made sense, as protecting was exactly what it was doing, acting as a barrier between the skin on my lips and everything outside it. So realized this particular Blistex is NOT a moisturizer, it will NOT relieve dryness. What it does is offer protection, a barrier to ward off what would make the lips more dry. With that knowledge I altered the way I used it and have been happier. If your lips are dry when you put this on, they will remain dry, albeit protected. BUT if you apply moisture and THEN put this product on, it does lock that moisture in behind the barrier. Bummer because to continue to use this I'd always have to be purchasing two products - a moisturizer and then this protective barrier, and hope one day they'll figure out how to combine the two. But for the rest of the tube (which I only use on bike rides) I've found a way to be happy with what it is. 5/5 for its protection 2/5 on moisturizing, but it didn't say this is what it did, so total of 4/5, final answer.

This lip protection stick offers great protection against sun damage without having a bad smell, taste, or feel. I am very sensitive to qualities like that and never know what to expect when I purchase a lip balm. I tend to prefer unscented due to this reason, however this does have a light scent that is not overbearing and surprisingly does not have the hallmark scent of sunblock, or chemical taste. It glides on like a regular chapstick without any weird tastes, scents, or greasiness. I recommend this product to anyone needing sun protection, as this is my favorite SPF lip protection so far.

There I was, under the blazing fireball up in the sky, wandering around Death Valley National Park, and enjoying the scenery. Sweat? Not a problem, I had my handy dandy battery powered mini fan. Hydration? Not a problem, I had my stainless steel hydro flask filled with, refreshing icy water. Sunburns? Not a chance! I had a hat and my SPF 100 sunscreen on, ready to take on Death Valley. Or so I thought. Boy, was I wrong. The temperature was 111 Fahrenheit, my sweat was being cooled off by my mini fan, but my lips? Oh gosh. My lips were like forgotten clay, it was cracked, dried, and lifeless. Oh, how every time I drank my icy water, my lips still felt like sandpaper. It took me a minute, and then I remembered! I recently bought a Blistex Five Star Lip Protection! When I remembered, I rushed to look in my bag. After frantically searching for this tiny Blistex Five Star Lip Protection, I whipped it open and rapidly smeared it across my lips. Instantly, I could feel the wonders of this Blistex Five Star Lip Protection. Not only does it hydrate, but it also protects. With an SPF 30 and an 80-minute water-resistant, chapped, dry clay lips are no longer a problem! Blistex Five Star Lip Protection is the ultimate daily protection from the dry, cold, wind, heat, and sun! What more can you ask for? It certainly saved my lips from the dry, hot weather. I was dying of chapped lips but as soon as I smeared my Blistex Five Star Lip Protection, chapped be gone. It also doesn’t taste or smell bad. 5/5 I recommend it.

If your lips get chapped with the sun and are sensitive to wind this is the perfect chapstick

I love this... I have been in the sun a lot lately with grand twins baseball games and I tell ya, this kept my lips from getting burnt. Makes them soft and even the next day they are not dried out from the sun. Outside for hours and I put it on 3 times and it actually works! Will order again when needed. I ordered this in a package with 3 other "blue" kinds. Quick Shipping too!

This little tube is a lifesaver for anyone whose lips turn into sandpaper the second the weather gets cold. Blistex Five Star Lip Protection isn’t just a fancy name—it really delivers on all fronts. It keeps my lips hydrated, smooth, and protected from wind, sun, and whatever else the day throws at them. The formula is rich but not greasy, so it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a waxy shield on my lips. It glides on smoothly and stays put for hours, even after coffee breaks or chatting all day. Bonus: it has a subtle, neutral scent that won’t overwhelm you. The only downside? It’s so good that I find myself reapplying it even when I don’t need to—it’s oddly addictive. Also, the tube is tiny, so don’t be surprised if you go through it faster than you’d like. If you want reliable, all-weather lip protection that actually feels good to wear, this one’s a no-brainer. Your lips will thank you! 4.7/5

Would recommend. Smooth and gentle on my lips

Expire next year so I need to finish use this before it expire.

Would def buy again. Wish it was cheaper

Great quality and the vanilla flavour is nice. Wife loves it.
