It's still openly sold on the official home site in its country of origin. Don't assume Blistex is gone just because it's discontinued in Korea. Besides, Blistex is always purchased through direct overseas buying, so it doesn't matter whether the Korean distributor discontinues it or not. First off, it's a gentle medicated lip balm. The scent is soft and cozy, like vanilla. Still, it contains camphor and menthol, which cool your lips and provide some relief when they're chapped. With ingredients like candelilla wax, it feels less heavy. While the coating power is lower, it allows your lips to breathe. It's like a mild version of medicated lip balm. (Note: The official website lists petrolatum/petroleum jelly as the first ingredient, but the ingredient list on Hwahae seems incorrect)
ConsTo cut to the chase, if you're using medicated lip balm, stick with that. I got this because I needed sun protection for my lips too, but while it has SPF 20, there's no PA rating. I couldn't find any effective UV protection ingredients in the formula. (Maybe that's why it couldn't pass the KFDA and was discontinued?) That said, I don't have any particular complaints. It's gentle, so I've used several tubes. It's far superior to stick types, but not as effective as lip masks or medicated balms. It's right in the middle in terms of quality
TipDefinitely buy it through direct overseas purchase. It's even cheaper on Cou*** or iHe**
