Lip balm and lip care should be easy to shop: something for everyday dry, chapped lips, something pocket-friendly for quick top-ups, and a reliable SPF lip balm or lipscreen for time outdoors. This Lips category brings together trusted pharmacy favourites and well-known brands in the formats people actually use—sticks for on-the-go, tins/pots for a richer layer, and higher-SPF options for holidays, sport and winter wind.
Alongside classic moisturising lip balms (including popular SPF 15 options), you’ll also find SPF 50 lipscreen for higher exposure days and targeted products such as cold sore gel. withaid is a UK based and regulated pharmacy, with fast delivery options, free delivery over the stated threshold, and discreet Royal Mail packaging.
Shop by Lips type
Popular types of lip care products
- Lip balm sticks for quick, mess-free application
- Pot/tin lip therapy for a thicker, barrier-style layer
- Tube or liquid lip conditioners for lightweight daily comfort
- SPF 15 lip balms for everyday outdoor wear
- SPF 50 lipscreen for higher-exposure days
How to choose the right option
- Pick the format you’ll use most: sticks for commuting, tins/pots for bedside or overnight.
- Choose SPF by exposure: moderate SPF can suit day-to-day; consider SPF 50 for prolonged outdoor time, travel, or high-reflection settings (water/snow).
- Look for sensitivity-friendly options: if you’re irritation-prone, try simpler formulas; stop use if a product stings or causes redness.
- Reapply when it matters: after eating/drinking, and follow the label for SPF reapplication guidance.
- Keep targeted products separate: cold sore gels aren’t everyday lip balms—use only as directed and check age guidance.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a lip balm stick and a pot/tin?
Sticks are convenient and mess-free for quick reapplication. Pots/tins are often thicker and can feel more protective, especially as a richer layer before bed.
Which SPF should I choose for lip balm?
For everyday outdoor wear, many people choose a moderate SPF. For longer time outside, holidays, sport, or stronger sun, consider SPF 50 lipscreen and reapply as directed on the label.
What’s the difference between SPF lip balm and lipscreen?
SPF lip balms are often designed for everyday comfort with sun protection, while lipscreens are commonly chosen for higher-SPF protection on higher-exposure days. Check the SPF on the pack and follow the directions.
How should I apply SPF lipscreen?
Apply a generous, even layer before you go outside and reapply according to the label—especially after eating, drinking, or wiping your lips.
How often should I reapply lip balm?
Apply as needed—commonly after eating or drinking, and more often in cold, windy, or dry conditions. SPF products should be reapplied according to the packaging instructions.
Is cold sore gel the same as lip balm?
No. Cold sore gels are symptom-targeted products for cold sores, while lip balms are generally for moisturising and protection. Always follow the product directions and warnings.
When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP?
Get advice if symptoms are severe, recurrent, worsening or not improving, if you suspect infection or allergy, or if you have persistent mouth/lip ulcers. If you’re immunocompromised, pregnant, breastfeeding, or unsure what you need, speak to a pharmacist or GP.
Safety note: Always read the label and use products as directed. Lip care products can support comfort and protection but they don’t replace medical assessment. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist, worsen, or you’re unsure which option is right.
