Original?, 9 May 2014

I have been using Lypsyl for more years than I can remember and until recently always purchased from High Street chemist. After reading the bad reviews of the product online decided to risk it and so purchased pack of three. So far so good! they were fine and just like always had in spite of the reviews. Have now ordered and received a further three and oh dear they are not the same at all. These have the clear twist at the bottom instead of the blue. The 'balm' is much stickier and stiffer to apply and almost unusable. Both types are labeled 'original' so thought would be OK.....so beware. Don't know how one can ensure getting the right product but it does seem that neither the merchant nor Amazon care because I have yet to see any reaction to all the reviews.

NEW INFORMATION....Being annoyed on receipt of the new batch of three Lypsyls.. I contacted the Novartis( producer) and received the the following helpful email from Alliance Pharmaceuticals

Thank you for your...

Lypsyl that arrives is NOT the one in the Photo! Disappointed!, 8 May 2012

"The lypsyl in the photos is royal blue, that is the original one, but the one that arrives is royal blue with white stripes on it. Lypsyl have changed the packaging AND the ingredients for the worst and find I this new product stretches and pulls the lips because its so hard AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the original!! PLEASE lypsyl Bring back the original!"

Nothing beats lypsil. I love the stuff. I have tried a whole range of other copy cats but always come back to this one. Its a great product.
