WiseWays Herbals: Salves for Natural Skin Care, Lemon Balm Salve 2 oz

What Is This Wonder in a Jar? I purchased WiseWays Herbals Lemon Balm Salve hoping it might help with a stubborn breakout in a sensitive skin area. I've tried numerous creams, ointments, and skincare products over the years, and most either did very little or caused additional irritation. The first thing that surprised me was the texture. In the container, it's a firm solid salve, but as soon as it comes into contact with your skin it softens and melts into a smooth, waxy oil that spreads easily. A little goes a long way, and it creates a protective, soothing layer without feeling harsh or medicated. After applying it consistently, I started noticing improvement within just a few days. By the end of the week, the breakout had largely cleared up and the irritated skin looked noticeably healthier. The area felt calmer, less irritated, and much more comfortable overall. I also appreciate that it doesn't have the strong chemical smell that many skin treatments have. The herbal scent is mild and natural, making it pleasant to use. Pros: • Helped clear up a stubborn breakout surprisingly quickly • Soothing on sensitive skin • Melts easily upon application • A little product goes a long way • Pleasant natural scent • Simple, natural-feeling formula Cons: • The waxy consistency may take some getting used to • Can feel slightly greasy immediately after application Overall, this product completely exceeded my expectations. I honestly wasn't expecting much when I ordered it, but after seeing the results for myself, it's become something I plan to keep on hand. If you're dealing with irritated or breakout-prone skin and want a natural alternative to traditional creams, this little jar may surprise you as much as it surprised me.

I don't usually write reviews unless I really love something or hate it. This product has blown me away. I came to amazon to get some clear cold sore covers so I can mask the ugly cold sore I felt myself starting to get. I saw this instead and all the raving reviews and order this instead. I got this so quick (love amazon) that I was able to PREVENT the cold sore from even coming out. a few days later I felt it in a different spot (persistence, I tell ya) and I immediately ran to this, and again, I never got a cold sore. Amazing. The second test- My boyfriend had a cold sore. And he got to a bit late (before I could remedy him like the loving and amazing SO that I am), it was the second day where it was starting to blister up, I put this on his lips before he left for work and gave him a few qtip filled of this to apply during the day. The next morning it was still a little bad, starting to break open.. we continued to put on the lemon balm salve and I swear, but afternoon it was healing. No more open wounds, no more blisters. Just a little red and irritated.. like it was raw skin healing. I am so so so impressed. This is a must have to any medicine cabinet of anyone who suffers from the occasional cold sore (apparently 80% or so of us). Works better than anything I have ever seen. The ONLY downside.. It naturally contains a lot of citronella, which in my opinion isn't the most pleasant to have on your lips, right under your nose. But its worth it regardless. the upside to that, I am sure it would make a great insect repellent!

Most people don’t know this, but the best herbal treatment for cold sores is lemon balm (melissa), which is difficult to find in topical skin products because it’s very expensive to extract. This product works extremely well for cold sores (herpes simplex)

I bought the Wise Ways White Pine Drawing Salve first. It was wonderful! When I ran out of it, I decided to get the Lemon Balm Cream. It has an oilier texture than the other, and a pleasantly lemony scent. I grow lemon balm in my garden, so am familiar with it and use it in herbal teas for colds and fever. Both of the salves are really softening for rough skin, and heal small skin breaks. Very soothing to use and will last a long time.

I love this stuff. I use it at least a couple times a week on my lips like a moisturizer or lip balm. I keep it in my purse for those windy days especially. Since I purchased this product 6 months ago because of a cold sore problem I had I haven't had another problem since I started using this and this helped the one I already had heal faster and helped ease the pain a bit. I'm sure that since I've started using this it has prevented me from getting any more. I recommend for anyone who has problems with cold sores and who would prefer a natural remedy and prevention method. I'm definitely glad I ordered this and it has lasted me over 5 months and I probably won't need to order it again for at least another 6 months. I would probably order the pack of 3 once I do run out just because it's so good to have. I recommend this product for anyone even those who don't get cold sores because it has a nice smell and moisturizes nicely and who knows, maybe it could prevent you from ever getting them.

This stuff is magic!!! I bought this one year ago and apply it every morning over my lip tint., thats it..once a day and done, and I just realized its been a YEAR!! I haven't had a fever blister in 1 year!!! Through my stress, eating acidic and spicy stuff, no breakouts at all!! This stuff is amazing!!! And 1 container will last you well over a year, maybe even 2!!! A little goes a long way!! Very highly recommend!!!!

It doesn't work as effective as it did when I first started buying this. I'm not sure why, maybe they switched up the formula

This WiseWays Lemon Balm Salve is my miracle in a jar. This is second jar and I will continue to buy it as long as it is available. Recently, I found I had some kind of rash on my thigh. I am not sure what I got into...I am allergic to all kinds of things. I decided try this balm since my brother and sister-in-law swear by the healing properties of lemon balm. Well. I gotta say, I was blown away by how well this worked. Within days, the rash went from angry red and itchy to pale pink and I would say it took no longer than a week before it was completely gone. The balm is thick--think petroleum jelly for consistency--and it smells pleasant. I don't know how it would do with other types of skin irritations, but for my own purposes, it felt like a miracle.
