myself and my husband have never suffered from them so I had to do some reading up on them to find out what helps prevent and he, 4 Nov. 2014

bought this for my baby girl, shes only 2 and a half and I was mortified to discover she has the coldsore virus this is her second blister, they are only small and don't look too angry but she said it hurt. myself and my husband have never suffered from them so I had to do some reading up on them to find out what helps prevent and heal them and stumbled across this product which had good reviews regarding coldsores. I hate the idea of harsh perscriptions on her face so while it was only a small blister I thought try something more natural. she feels really special having her own lipbalm that no one else can use and the packaging is different to the other lipbalms so she was very interested to have a good look at it and try it and the anise in it isn't overpowering its subtle with a sweet taste so shes keen to reapply it when I ask her to, its early days but the blister hasn't grown and she hasn't complained of any pain in the days shes been using it. I tried it myself when it first...

nice, but no real licorice., 4 Feb. 2014

Like this lip balm very much, and if you like a licorice flavour, you'll like this. It's goes on smoothly and stays on. Thing is though, if you look at the ingredients, it doesn't have any licorice in (anise is used as the flavouring). So if you are wanting to use the licorice as a herbal remedy, this is probably not the best choice.Nice product though and I would buy again.
