Carmex lip balm contains a unique blend of ingredients, including natural moisturisers such as cocoa butter and lanolin. These and other emollients give you healthy-looking lips by moistening and preventing dryness and chapping associated with the effects of the environment.

Carmex helps to soothe, moisturise and relieve dry, chapped lips caused by the elements. Apply Carmex liberally and evenly as often as necessary throughout the day.

Carmex contains camphor and menthol. These ingredients give Carmex a cooling effect and soothe rough, chapped lips caused by environmental factors – encouraging a healthy appearance that feels as good as it looks.

Available in a jar, tube or stick.

Nostalgic

This is from back in the day but boy I'm glad it came back into my life. By far the best relief for damaged lips. The smell brings back childhood memories and something so great about it.

never been better

Carmex turned my lips around in days. They were sore dry and flakey, nothing else fixed the problem except carmex. After just a couple applications I felt the difference. It has made my lips softer and smoother than ever before. My go to lip balm.

Tips: Just persevere with the initial tingling sensation after application. After using it for a couple days you know get the sensation. It is worth it

Finally got to try Carmex!

I finally got to try Carmex at Christmas, I bought one for my own stocking ;) ... as you do! The tube is a standard size for lip balm..nothing special. The product reminds me of paw paw balm in terms of texture. It's quite thick which is what I like.

I've heard a few say the smell is gross but I thought it smells exactly like Blistex products so if you don't like them then you probably won't like this. I didn't think it was too bad.

After using about half of the product I found it was a bit harder squeezing the product out but no biggy.

HG lip balm

I absolutely adore using Carmex! It gives you a good tingly feel when first applied and it does a good job at moisturizing your lips. Normally I would use it 10 or so minutes before using lipstick or lip liner just so my lips don't feel too dry and when I get sick as the smell of methanol helps. Unfortunately I've run out but hopefully I will buy one soon.

Tips: Reapply liberally when needed.

Good Lip Balm

Got one of these from Goodie Box and have to say they are quite good. It helps my chapped lips and I like the smell of it. It moisturises my lips well during winter time. Would recommend it

Lip rescue in a tube!

I love this product, particularly in winter when my lips get chapped and sore. I have tried so many different lip balms, and this and one other are the only ones that both give my sore lips instant cooling relief and helps soften and heal them. Its a great price, and I like that it is not a pottle (my second favorite is, and it seems a bit gross using your fingers after awhile).

Tingly.

I love the tingling sensation and the minty taste and scent. I think this product is very sticky so you shouldn't go overboard during application. I would suggest to only apply it on the bottom lip and smack your lips together. I like to use this as a base for my drier lipsticks. Would repurchase but it lasts so long that I don't know when I'd need to.

Tips: A little goes a long way.

Lip saver

Out of all the lip balms I've ever tried this is the one I go back to time and time again.

I like the little pot it comes in, I like how it makes my lips tingle but not in an irritated way, I like that is moisturises my lips beautifully and that ten minutes later I don't have to reapply.

This for me is the gold standard balm and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Very Good (if you can handle the smell)

This is a great product from a well respected brand. It's one of those brands like Vaseline that have been around for ages.

The lip balm in a tube is a gel like consistency and is quite heavy. The main point of contention between people will be the smell. It is very pungent because of the ingredients. There are going to be people who just can't get past that smell especially if you are very sensitive to that sort of thing. Others on the other hand love the it. It also has a cool, tingling feeling when you apply it which can be off putting for some.

If you can get past the smell it is a really good lip balm, especially in the winter for dry and damaged lips. It is very effective at repairing the damage done by the harsh cold climate.

It now comes in other flavors so I would be interested to try out some of those too.

Best Balm Ever

This is one balm I always have in my bag. I prefer the stick personally for ease of application. Apply like your lipstick The balm does everything it says it does. Dry cracked sore lips are quickly remedied, and lips feel well moisturized.

Tips: Take it everywhere with you
