Noticed this today. Basically says what I think we all know.

I have chronic dry skin and that includes my lips. I'd tried everything before switching to plain old petroleum jelly. It's sooooo much better - and cheaper. My husband was hooked on Carmex, but he got tired of his lips cracking and peeling anyway, so he finally switched to PJ as well. The biggest key for me is consistency. I use regularly - I don't wait for it to get bad.
@Agatha it’s recommended and it works but I don’t like the taste. I’m a flavored balm type.
