How Cortibalm Helps During Chemotherapy
Dry, chapped, painful lips are among the most common and uncomfortable side effects of chemotherapy. Cortibalm was formulated by Dr. Viders after treating thousands of patients fighting cancer. Unlike ordinary lip balms, it contains no harsh ingredients, preservatives, or fragrances that can further irritate sensitive skin. Cortibalm is the only over-the-counter medication made with a simple base of hypoallergenic ingredients and 1% hydrocortisone to stop inflammation, redness, and pain when nothing else works.

Breast cancer chemotherapies are notoriously hard on lips. When the National Breast Cancer Foundation reached out, we were honored to contribute. We’re proud to be the balm patients ask for, and to donate Cortibalm to the fight against breast cancer.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapeutic medications act by destroying the rapidly dividing cells that fuel cancer. But they also suppress normal cell turnover in the skin. This disruption leaves lips fragile, slower to heal, and vulnerable to cracking. By calming irritation and restoring moisture to the lips natural barrier, Cortibalm helps patients heal and protect their lips during some of the most challenging weeks of care, when small reliefs make a big difference.
