I like anything with bees wax in it. I find that works the best, especially Lypsell (spelling??)
khiel's moisturizing lip balm is my saving grace for the dry and chilly winter season....it keeps my lips super moisturized. i hope it'll work for you too!
Burts Bees is my favorite stuff, but I also like Carmex. I always need something that coats the lips.
I have been using Burts Bees, but not the minty kind. The one I like best is the Pomegranate one with the reddish/purple cap.
I use the Burt's Bees passionfruit lip blam with sunscreen.
Also make sure you get your B vitamins and some more fat in your diet for the cold winter!
I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter - Lip Butter. It is the BEST lip balm I've ever used. I have accutane-induced dryness and I wear a bite guard to bed at night. The combination of the two destroys my lips, they're mucho cracked/painful/dry when I wake up. I put some of this on before I go to bed and I wake up MUCH more comfortable! I would say 80% of it still on my lips too. Which is something that other lip balms had a problem doing.
ETA: The link is for a pack of 12 on Amazon, so that's why the price is $23. :p I buy them one at a time from my local Walgreens.
Plan ole Chapstick strawberry. I have used a ton of different ones and it is still the one I love the best.
EOS - I even got my partner into them! He just hates that they are a ball shape so he can't easily toss one in his pocket in his scrubs at work. He likes the mint and I like any of the berry type ones (strawberry sorbet, passion fruit, etc).
I am glad I stumbled upon this thread cuz I've been having problems with chapped lips too and my chapstick isn't helping. Sometimes I use vaseline which seems to help a bit though.
Burt's Bees! I love it!
On a different note, my brother had jaw surgery and they went in thru his inner lip (where it meets the gum), and the healing left his lips really dry. He used the Burt's Bees and it really helped. I'm sure his FI appreciated it. He used more Burt's Bees than Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler combined. If it can heal surgery lips it can heal anything. ;)
Try neosporin + pain relief. It works wonders, but tastes awful. I moved from houston (high humidity) to dallas (low humidity) and my lips are letting me have it. The neosporin works quickly and my lips feel great (plus the pain relief is almost instant). I usually mix it with a better tasting chapstick so that the taste is diminshed a little.
Aquaphor!!! I have been using it since I was like 9 years old. I've always had really bad chapped lips that will crack and this is the only thing that works. Burts bees honestly makes it worse for me. You can buy it at CVS or the grocery store.
ETA - I've noticed several people posting the EOS eggs. I have one and it doesnt work as well as I thought it would. Its good for normal chapped lips, but not really badly chapped lips. I like it, but I would probably only use it in the summer when my lips arent cracking!
EOS EGGS! Sorry, I get excited... I love them and they work so well for me.
I order natural ones off etsy-- most big-name lip balms have menthol in them, which actually dries your lips out even more!
I second Kiehl's - love that stuff. Also, Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream works awesome on dry lips (and dry skin in general).
I use one called Aloe Up...it's made for skiers I think, it works amazing. I used to be a big Burt's Bee's fan but this is much better.
Bag balm. It's actually for cow's udders which is a hard thing to get over initially. But it's super thick, kind of like vaseline and oh so soothing. You can find it with the pet supplies at WalMart, Target, etc. It's a square green tin. You can put it on lips, hands, elbows, nipples, etc. :)
Burt's Bees works well but honestly, the best moisturizer I've ever put on my lips is just plain Vaseline. I put it on every night before bed and it lasts pretty much all night.
I actually liked the smell of the EOS eggs but the shape of it didn't work at all. It actually caused me to break out around my lips because it always somehow ended up going past my lips.
Another vote for Aquaphor! I used to get allergic reactions around my mouth and it'd be very itchy and irritated. Aquaphor was great for easing it!
Walgreens brand medicated lip care...it's in a yellow push out tube with a red top...they're .89 cents each here and I buy them 10 at a time because I put this stuff on and instantly my lips are silky smooth and feel incredible...

The corners of my lips are dry to the point where they are cracked and bleeding. It's so bad that it hurts to open my mouth. I lived in MN for a decade, and winters there gave me plenty of opportunities to try out lip stuff. None of my favorites are working (obviously). Please tell me what works for you!
