I'm dealing with Cheilitis and I'm wondering which lip balm might be better for me - Chaptex or NMFe lip care? Do any of these actually help to cure Cheilitis? I'm just trying to make sure I'm using something effective.

Cheilitis can be treated with a lip balm containing ingredients like petrolatum, beeswax, or dimethicone to help protect and moisturize the lips.
