Cracked lips stuff - what was it called?

Si_Clist

You used to be able to get some marvelous cream that cured cracked lips and whatnot.  It came in a small metal tube, it smelled of ammonia, and at some point maybe 15 years ago it changed its name.  Then next thing I knew it disappeared from the shops.  What was it called?  And is there anything like it still available?

Blistex perhaps?

Blistex - only available in plastic tubes now - not sure if formula has changed slightly as it still has that amazing smell but its white now rather than the creamy-yellow.  I got mine from Tesco if I recall

Cymex is what our family use. Tiny tube but lasts ages.....squeeze into finger not much more than size of pinhead.

Ooh - looks like they still do the metal tube ones after all

Or you could take Harry's lead and slather on EA eight-hour cream

Hi,

earwax does the job, and it's free, or Vaseline.

   🤮 🤮🤮 to the first. 
   I find vaseline just sits on the skin, protects but doesn't absorb/moisturise
