Patient Reviews

My pharmacist handed me CortiBalm this evening as I was picking up my Accutane Rx. She must have seen the redness around my mouth and felt my pain. What wonderful relief it has brought in only 2 hours! Thanks so much for developing this product. I will let my dermatologist in on this amazing secret at my next appoinment.

Dr. Dan, this balm is AMAZING!! For the longest time my lips were so dry and cracked, and chapped. I spent so much money on all the these "top lipbalms" but none of them worked. I finally stumbled upon this at the pharmacy, when I was about to give up. As SOON as I put it on, it was already working within a couple days my lips were completely back to normal. I cannot stress how amazing this product really works, and this was the ONLY thing that worked. With other lip balms as well, I had to re-apply like every 5 minutes, but this is SUPER long-lasting to where I only had to apply it about twice a day. Whenever I run out, I stock up on more to keep because it works so well with your average chapped lips as well. Thank you so much, Dr. Dan!!

For everyone who has dry lips associated with Sjogren's syndrome, Dr. Dan's is unbelievable. After years of suffering with the worst dry, cracked & peeling lips you could imagine, I tried Dr. Dan's (recommended by my dermatologist). I was amazed after the first use as to how soft & supple my lips were. I can go several days between applying it, it works that good for me. Hope you get the same results.


- Andrea

I started Accutane in March of 2011 and my lips were horribly chapped. This summer, my doctor finally recommended Dr. Dan's and within the next two days, my lips were soft and smooth! I have been addicted to it and it's amazing! You won't know unless you try for yourself. All my friends who've used it say the same thing I do! I got them hooked too! The only thing I'd suggest is to add scents to chose from! Thanks everyone who've helped in making this chapstick!


- Emily

Thank you Dr. Dan!!! I had severly chapped lips for the last six months. They burned, bleed and peeled profusely. There was a ring of red around my mouth and had split corners, too. I tried everything. Vaseline, neosporin, lanolin, carmex, ect. Nothing worked. This was my last try before calling the doctor. The Cortibalm came in the mail on a Friday at noon time. The next morning my lips were %80 better and %100 healed after three days of using it. This stuff is for real!!! I was so embarresed to go out with gross lips. It sounds extreme, but this saved my day! Thanks again. Tracy


- Tracy

I recently started taking accutane again for the second time and this time my lips have been horrible. I tried everything and my doctor suggested this and by the next day my lips were better and starting to heal. It is the only that works for me it is well worth the money.


- Kayla

I was suffering from dry, pealing lips and a red rash around my mouth from Psoriasis. Nothing worked, even the Cobesterial ointment from my dermatologist! I came across Dr. Dan's on a Psoriasis web site, ordered it from my pharmacy and within one night I was almost cured!!! NOTHING works better! Thank you Dr. Dan!


- Jamie

I have had psoriasis off and on through my life, but never before, until recently, have I had it on my lips. Horrible. It felt like my lips were on fire and they were all red and cracked and terribly painful. I just go Dr. Dan's lipbalm yesterday and already my lips are painfree and the cracks are healing. Very little redness left. In one day! I am SO relieved. Thanks so much for this amazing product! Ellen


- Ellen

I have been bothered with chapped and "peeling" lips for over 30 years! I could actually peel skin from my lips. My dermatologist gave me samples of CortiBalm a few months ago. It's amazing. My lips haven't been this smooth since I was a child. I've been using it at night before going to bed. I've never seen anything work like this. Thank you, Dr. Dan.


- Donna King

For quite some time I have been suffering from dreadful constant peeling of my lips. I have a draw full of lip balms that didn't help. Recently went on line and read about Dr. Dan's, and purchased it on line. Immediately my lips are not longer peeling, and once again look great! Dr. Dan, you have truly saved me from the great suffering, which even medical help didn't give me..I will tell everyone I know about your wonderful lip balm, and now I will go on line to order more!


- olga m milligan

Honestly, this is the ONLY lip balm that helps my daughter with her chapped lips. We were introduced to it when our son was on Accutane. It was a miracle for him, so our daughter tried it for her chapped lips due to eczema. it worked like a charm! We always have a supply of tubes at our house!


- Sheila

I had the worst case of chapped lips IN HISTORY. They dried and cracked and had even shown spots of bleeding. I put everything under the sun on them to moisturize them and NOTHING worked. At my wits end, I walked into a tiny pharmacy (NOT one of the big chain pharmacies where they are SO "impersonal"). This pharmacist showed me Dr. Dan's Corti Balm. OMG !!! within a few days, my lips were HEALED and kissably soft again. I can tell anyone if your lips are dry, perhaps too much sun and wind.... Dr. Dan's WILL heal them-hands down - no question asked.... I just wish I had a case of it to keep on hand. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...........


- Bobi Grimes

Also an accutane user. I have never liked to put anythingon my lips, not even lipstick. Taking accutaine made it a necessity to use something on my lips and the dermatologist recommended Cortibalm and gave me some samples. I love the way it feels on my lips and it last longer than anything else. However, I do not like it in chapstick form. The samples felt so smooth and slick and the chapstick is more like regular chapstick, sticky and doesn't last as long and is not as soothing. Still it is a great product with great results. Thanks!! Shannon

I work outside in all kinds of weather. This winter wind and temperature does terrible things to my lips. To make it worse I am now taking Accutane. My lips have never been so dry and chapped before. I have tried EVERY form of Chapstick, Blistex, and every other over the counter lip balm I could find and NOTHING comes close to Dr Dan's CortiBalm. I've only been using it for a few days and I can not believe how GREAT my lips feel! My lips are back to normal thanks to Dr Dan's.


- Shelly

I just got some of this stuff from my dermatologist a few weeks ago. I am on Amnesteem for the second time, but this was the first time I'd heard about Dr. Dan's CortiBalm. I had gone to the drugstore and stocked up on every lip balm for severely chapped lips I could find. My lips would burn to the touch from just being outside in the wind while on my medication. This surely is a miracle healer! It seriously soothes the moment I use it. I let some of my friends try it and they immediately noticed a difference. Even when my Amnesteem treatment is over with, I will still use Dr. Dan's formula; there is no better lip balm out there. Love it!


- Melissa

This product saved me! I literally tried every product at the drugstore and applied each one generously. They helped somewhat, but my lips were still uncomfortable and burning. My dermatologist told me to try cortibalm. After applying it, within seconds my lips were nearly perfect. All burning and dryness went away. Now I'm on my second day, and they are almost back to normal. I couldn't imagine continuing my accutane treatment without cortibalm.


- GG

I was prescribed dr. dans lipbalm for scarred lips that had become irritated and the skin was hardening so much that a change in temperature was very painful. Afer three days my lip smoothed out, became more pink than blue and much less painful. Thank you.


- diane serio

With the weather changing and the cold, my lips got worse than ever before, they were chapped, then went to where they were burning, and peeling, it was bad. My friend recommended your product due to her son's dermatologist referring it to them. I started using it in the am, and found such relief and noticed a huge change by that night, used it before bed, when I work up you would not have know my lipe were bad at all....This product is GREAT! I am going to recommend it to my dad who spends a lot of money to help his chapped lips and anyone else I know who needs it. THANKS!


- Toni

I have always struggled with chapped lips and now that I am on Accutane, it is unbearable. Your lipbalm is the BEST thing I have found. I cannot help but recommend it to everyone!! Thank you SO much for an AMAZING product.


- Steph

My son is also on Accutane and his lips were looking really bad. He plays the trumpet and started complaining about his lips hurting when he plays. We have not even order CortiBalm yet, but he tried a sample the doctor gave him today. It has already made a huge difference. He is thrilled!!!! Thank you so much. We have 5 more months of the accutane and I don't think we would make it without CortiBalm.


- Karen K

This lipbalm is just magical. I've been on Accutane for the past 6 months and i absolutely can't imagine getting through it without cortibalm. I literally tried every single product at my local CVS's and nothing seemed to help. My lips were still chopped, red, and itchy. I just didn't know what to do and decided to actually research products for such severe cases as when using Accutane. I was on one of the Accutane forums and a few people suggested trying out cortibalm. I ordered it at my CVS and when i got it i was seriously the happiest person. It pretty much instantaneously took away itchiness, redness was gone pretty soon too, and within 2-3 days my lips didn't even look much different from normal. I've been using it ever since and my lips haven't been bothering me at all. Thank you so much Dr. Dan.


- Jen

I just want to tell you thank you for making such an amazing product. For a couple years I had some sort of an allergic reaction to lipsticks and then I developed a severe heat rash on my lips. Not sure if wearing lipstick in the sun caused it or what it was just horrible. My lips cracked and bled, corners of my lips did too. I had this blistery rash all over my lips and the upper part of my lip too. Tried vasleine, every product you could think of that you could by at your local drugstore, nothing would help ! some products made it worse too. I would put hydrocortisone cream on my lips but the prodcut would never stay on so I gave up. Finally I came across a page that advertised your lip balm. I ordered some, gave it a try and love it love it !! its the only product that has worked and really saved me from alot of agony. When I start to feel a flare up on my lips (rash/chapped) I use your product, the problem immediately starts to feel better and then by the next morning my symptons are gone. I will recommened your product to others too. Thank You Again. Stacey

I had to write to you to say thank you! I have dealt with sore, dry, chapped lips for over 10 years. I have tried everything, literally! Chapstick, medicated Chapstick, Blistex, Aquaphor, Vaseline, even medication given to me from my dermatologist and nothing worked long term. Anyone who has this problem knows how painful sore lips can be - sometimes I would not eat just due to the fact that I knew my lips would be so sore during and after. It was ridiculous.


- Cortibalm User

Dr. Dan! Bless you! Your product is an absolute MIRACLE! That is absolutely all there is to say about it!! June of last year I got a HORRIBLE sun burn, after that my lips never seemed to heal! No telling how much money I have spent on lip products over the last year, my lips themselves would get really red and oozy, and the skin around my lips was constantly dry and irritated, and the corners of my lips constantly split and bled. It was absolutely horrible, I would find myself literally staying at home crying b/c I did not want anyone to see my lips. Some products made the condition 10x worse while others just seemed to make my lips look almost ok, but the second that the lip balm wore off my lips felt immediately dried out and on the verge of spliting at any second. I even went to 2 different doctors, and all I was given was some cream for a yeast infection, and an antibacterial cream. Then one evening my mother and I were searching on the web for products and came across the testimonials for your product, and immediately sent away for a free sample. I have been using the product for less than a week and OH MY GOD! Amazing! My lips within 2 days were smooth, all redness was gone, day 6, my lips are AMAZING! I use to feel like I had to wear lip balm 24/7 and with your product I only need to put it on twice a day! So thank you thank you thank you. I just want to shout it from the rooftops about how amazing your product is. Thank you so so so much!

My son started Accutane and was having problems with his lips. At 14, kids are very self conscience of their appearance and to have to deal with acne is bad enough, but taking Accutane and having to deal with the dry skin and cracked lips makes it so much worse. I discovered CortiBalm while searching the different forums on Accutane. I ordered a tube for my son to try and it is fabulous!!! I just ordered 2 more tubes! He only has to use it about twice per day where he was using the Vaseline Lip Therapy constantly during the day. We are thrilled that we have discovered a product that actually works! I would encourage ANYONE who has severe chapped lips or Accutane users to order this product. You will not be disappointed, I promise. Feel free to post these comments on your review page.


- Cathy McKoy

Your lipbalm is the 1st product that has 100% worked and keeps on working - it is amazing! Before, I would apply Chapstick or Vaseline honestly like 20+ times a day and after just a few days of using your lipbalm I maybe apply Vaseline now once a day just for moisture. I also only have to use your lipbalm about 2 times a day - it blows my mind considering how I used to be. I was not able to wear lip glosses before because they would irritate my lips and now I can even use those when I want to - it is so nice. Thank you! Please feel free to use my review on your site or as you wish and I will make sure to recommend your product to my dermatologist and friends.

While working at a hospital approximately 1 1/2 years ago, I received a package of free samples of your product. I kept a few and gave the rest out to others. Since I have had chronic chapped lips most of my adult life, I tucked a few of these tubes away and decided to use up the "stuff" I currently had at home. No matter what product I've used in the past (day and night), my lips continued to be chapped and I just attributed it to lipstick dryness, etc. and figured it would continue throughout my life. Being totally fed up with this chapped nuisance, I pulled out the tube of your lip balm a few weeks ago and tried to be very consistent with its application day and night. I wish I had believed in it sooner as it really has controlled my chapping to where I use it as a base coat under my lipstick! I'm a strawberry blonde, green eyes and fair skinned so I know what kind of damage the sun can do to my skin. I see my dermatologist several times per year but have never brought up my lip condition. On my next visit I will definitely let him know about your product, if he hasn't already heard about it! Thank you so much! -n.m.

First, I'd like to tell you that I had a problem for YEARS that whenever the seasons would change from winter to spring, or summer to fall, my lips became severely chapped, cracked, bled, peeled, etc. I tried what seemed like every product on the market with no avail. About a year ago, a dermatologist recommended your product, I tried it.... within a week my lips were completely healed and have been problem free ever since. Unbelievable!!!!! Thank You! -v.m.

I just want to write and tell you Thank You! I love your lip balm! I am on my last week of my Accutane treatment (yeah!). I have been very lucky in that the only symptom I have experienced is chapped and dry lips. At the beginning of the treatment I used Aquafor. This worked well at hydrating my lips, but was greasy and messy; I soon switched to Vaseline (in a tube). This appeared to work okay, but I found I had to apply it very often and in large amounts to make a difference. A couple of months ago, I ordered your lip balm. It has been wonderful! It truly is very, very soothing. When I wake up in the morning, my lips are usually very raw and sore. Just a few seconds after applying your lip balm, they feel much better. I have had no cracking since using your product. Thank you again! Whenever I know someone on Accutane, I will be sure to recommend your lip balm! -Alison

I am writing this to tell you that your Dr. Dan's is by far the best stuff I have ever used. I took Accutane for about 6 months and had extremely chapped lips which have gotten better after discontinuing Accutane. However, it still has been an annoying problem and seemed to flare up every once in a while. Chapstick, Blistex and all the other junk that is sold over the counter doesn't work. Even cortisone ointment and other prescription medications I have taken to stop the irritation don't seem to be as good. Nice work and a job well done! -k.r.

My doctor is treating my acne with Accutane, which severely dried my lips to the point of peeling and cracking. I tried medicated chapstick, but it wasn't very effective. Then, I tried Dr. Dan's medicated lip balm, and within a few minutes my lips were feeling much better. As long as I apply his lip balm occasionally throughout the day, my lips are fine. No more cracking or peeling. If it works this good on my severe lips, imagine what it will do for ordinary dry lips! Dr. Dan has created a wonderful lip balm. -r.r.

Previous to trying "Dr. Dan's" I'd tried all of the brand name lip balms, and now I can honestly say that nothing works like "Dr. Dan's". -r.r.

I am writing to let you know what a great product you have in Dr. Dan's CortiBalm. I found the product to be extremely effective in relieving the pain associated with the dry, cracked, peeling skin on my lips. Dr. Dan's was soothing and long lasting. I had tried many over the counter products before using Dr. Dan's and none of them could compare with the results achieved using your lip balm.

This is an excellent product. -m.c.

About one year ago my dermatologist gave me a tube of your lip balm to try because I have been on Aclovate, a cortisone-type prescription, for as long as I could remember (maybe 15 years, or so). My lips are very sensitive to everything from make-up products to toothpaste, etc. Over the years, I have tried everything under the sun and spent lots of money doing so and the sad part was that nothing worked, until I tried your lip balm. I must tell you that I absolutely love it.... I no longer have to use a prescription and my lips feel great. If anyone has any doubts they need to use it for just one week and they will be hooked, too. I recently ordered a bunch of them because I can't live without it and I also can't find them anywhere in Connecticut. I hope that someday I will be able to walk into a local store and see them on a shelf. I know if it becomes available locally, people will try it and everyone will love it, just like I do.

Thanks so much! -l.i.

I just wanted to tell you how much you lip balm has helped me. I am on Accutane and I had very dry lips, but within about two hours my lips were extremely better. I use your lip balm about 2 - 3 times a day and it really helps. So your lip balm gets an A+ in my book. Thanks so much! -p.t.

I am a nurse in a large hospital in Atlanta. I get Botox for Cervical Dystonia every three months and my lips get chapped and turn beet red. Your product is wonderful. I asked every doctor in the hospital what should I do and I finally ran into one who told me about your lip balm. Thank you again! -w.s.

Just wanted to let you know I received your lip balm two days ago and I cannot believe the relief it has provided me. My lips were very chapped and peeling from taking Accutane. They are now soft and smooth, basically back to normal. I am so grateful to Dr. Dan for producing such an effective product. You know I tried almost every other lip balm on the market, including straight vitamin E, and none of these products consistently kept my lips smooth and protected. In fact, I believe some of the other lip balms actually further dried out my lips. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon your product so early in my Accutane therapy (I have 5 more months to go). I will definitely tell my dermatologist about Dr. Dan's CortiBalm and hope she recommends it to other patients suffering with the negative side effects of Accutane. I really cannot thank you enough. It's really great to find a skin care product that actually works and makes your life simpler. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! -k.w.

Thanks so much for being so nice, I love the balm. It has made my lips so much better. -c.o.

I think the lip balm was great! It had no taste which is good. It really made my lips soft and smooth. Also, it made them stay smooth for a long time, longer than everything else I used. Thanks!! -m.r.

I’ve been on Accutane for 3 months and because of the medication, my lips are really dry. I’ve tried everything and the only thing that worked was Dr. Dan's CortiBalm. It’s very soothing and I haven’t suffered from dry lips since. -R.H.

I was on the Accutane and it made my lips dry and cracked and it was harder to eat food, but after the doctor gave me Dr. Dan's CortiBalm, I could eat well again. My lips weren’t cracking anymore and I felt much better. -G.H.

Dr. Viders is treating my acne with Accutane, which severely dried my lips to the point of peeling and cracking. I tried medicated Chapstick, but it wasn’t very effective. Then I tried Dr. Dan's CortiBalm, and within a few minutes my lips were feeling much better. As long as I apply his lip balm occasionally throughout the day, my lips are fine. No more cracking or peeling. -R.R.

During my treatment with Accutane, I’ve experienced major peeling of my lips. I’ve tried everything from Blistex to Vaseline; my lips were so dry nothing seemed to work. Recently, Dr. Viders gave me his new invention. Dr. Dan's CortiBalm has worked the best, out of all of them. I recommend anyone who is taking Accutane to use his product. -M.A.
