Hyphen peptide lip balm made my lips dryer??

Ok so I have the peptide lip balm in Vanilla and it has made parts of my lips dry. It was working fine for the first two weeks or saw but then I started feeling this dry patch on my lips when I pressed them together.

Like even if I applied lip balm over them I could still feel the dryness through it. So I've stopped using it for a week and it's getting somewhat better now. The area is still somewhat dry but it's getting better. I'm using Vaseline now and trying more home remedies like oil and stuff.

At first I thought it might be because the lip balm is scented but I've never had this kind of reaction with other lip balms??? Idk what went wrong man.
