Has anybody spotted this anywhere recently? The dreaded chapped and cracked lips have returned and this is the only thing that works! Or any recommendations of similar products?

I got 2 in Waitrose earlier this week. I was only in there by chance and saw them so picked up a couple.

Apparently this website has some too.

I was looking for this in the small metal tube but could only see a small pot which looked different from the old version. I haven't opened it, please don't say it's not the same and Blistex is discontinued?

It’s not the same at all! I was very disappointed by the little blue tub.

I can never find the metal tube either and it worked so well on my sore winter lips. Nothing is consistently helping this year.

This is from Blistex's Facebook page. There has been no update since April. Very frustrating!

Boots sold me Cymex cream. It worked better than Blistex.

I've not seen the metal tube versions years. Is the plastic tube the same excellent stuff?

Rosesarere · 11/01/2025 12:56

I normally get it in home bargains

amoreoamicizia · 11/01/2025 12:56

Oh dear! I feared as much. I absolutely rely on that stuff at times. I've only got away with not using it this year as I've been indoors a lot.

Apparently not, it says above.

Airfixkitwidow · 11/01/2025 12:59

I was looking online last night. There's some on ebay at £40 a tube.

The little blue pot is not the same as the metal tubes. And I've tried many of supposed subs some of which were not cheap. Not one of them is remotely a sub for the amazing blisteze.

I share your pain.

muddyford · 11/01/2025 13:05

I know the plastic TUB is different but wasn't sure about the plastic TUBE.

MystifyMe · 11/01/2025 13:10

Oh no, everything I love gets discontinued!!! The other Blistex products aren't the same. It's not available on Amazon now but I'll try Cymex. I'll probably end up with cold sores now anyway 😂

Cymex is brilliant it heals my cracked lips overnight and I don't then need to use it again for months.

@MystifyMe I don't know if you missed my post but the Waitrose ones are the metal tube ones, so is the link I provided judging by the images.

MystifyMe · 11/01/2025 13:43

I have just ordered for next day delivery. It's def THE ONE. Many, many thanks!

where did you order from? I’ve been searching for it for ages! I’ve tried ordering from the hive but it never accepts my payment.

MystifyMe · 11/01/2025 15:23

I managed to order from there! I haven't got it yet so hope it arrives 🤞

Just tried to order some and got a message there's an issue with my card and now am panicking it's a scam and I e been lured in 🤣

Grasmereginger · 11/01/2025 16:09

@Hildabaggins not me.

MystifyMe · 11/01/2025 16:47

I've had a message to say my money has been refunded (it has) as the product is no longer available. Now I'm panicking too 😂 Bloody Blistex!!

The blistex one in the white tube with pale blue writing is good
