Carmex Lip Balm

I love Carmex. I have the cherry stick in my handbag and take it everywhere with me. I also keep a Carmex pot at work, so I am never without it. I work in a large air-conditioned mall so I find my lips dry out quite badly and Carmex is the first lip balm that has kept my lips soft and hydrated.

My favourite lip balm ever, hydrates the lips and fits perfectly into wallet/handbag and is super cheap and does a great Job

Everyone seems to love carmex lip balms, unfortunately I just couldn't get used to the tingly feeling these menthol based lip balms give to the lips. I find it does this even more so than blistex which I also don't love but it does lessen after a little while. Also found it a little sticky. Will not repurchase. For those of you that love that tingling though, you would probably love these.

I did not realize that this was actually for cold sores aka oral herpes just a lip balm. I have used the mango and peach type. When I got all of the directions and what was in it etc was in another language. I had no idea what was in it until I read the description above. I assumed the product was basically petrolium jelly. I have tried the mango and peach and the strawberry which to me smell like the scent is very artificial. I did notice the cooling sensation which would be from the menthol I would say which is nice but it did not last. The texture of this feels a little bit gritty too not smooth so I think the grit would exfoliate some of the dead skin as well as provide hydration for the lips. I could also smell the lanolin too which comes from sheep and is often used to relieve cracked nipples. I will continue to use these tubes up and noticed the product does sit on the lips and lasts for hours so you do not need to keep applying but I am not totally sold on it. The look of it on the lips is like a 90s clear lipgloss its very shiny. It would be ideal to use over a lipstick to give it a gloss look or mix to make a tinted lip gloss. I just dont love the texture and fake smell. The price is fine for what it does though in terms of keeping lips moist and un chapping them. I would be keen to try plain versions or other scents from the brand. No issues with the packaging

Carmex is my second fiddle to Blistex - sometimes mainly in winter my lips turn to custard and i need something really thick and penetrating and carmex does the trick for me. the only downside for this for me is the smell its a bit like 8hour cream and blistex mixed but i guess they all smell like that. definately a great lip conditioner

I love this product! The first time I tired it I could really feel the menthol on my lips it was so strong! I use this product when my lips go through the really dry/sore period so It has lasted me ages. Would defiantly recommend.

I brought this product because a YouTube guru was saying it was her favourite lip balm. The scent/taste of it really reminds me of blistex. I have to say I really enjoy using this product and it's doing wonders for my dry lips

My hubby got this from USA I am in love with this product one work amazing, totally worth trying.helps making lips smoother, great product

Love carmex. I have only tried the tube so far. Its slightly thinner formula than lucas papaw. And quite glossy. A previous reviewer said the pot is a thicker balm compared to the tube. Went camping over Christmas my lips got dealt to with all the sun and wind etc being outdoors alot. I popped into the local chemist to get something with some grunt as my lucas papaw ointment wasn't helping. Was given this. 2 days later I have smoother, glistening healthy lips. Better than they have been forever.. feels like. I get dry lips in winter too. Now I can't leave this stuff alone. Even my husband asked where my papaw cream has gone.. not a huge fan of the taste of carmex.. Bit icky. If you dont like a minty/vaseline type taste you may not be a fan. But i see they do a cherry flavour. So if you like a lip balm with a good taste maybe try that. But I can forgive it that because it works so well. Give it a try. It works. Better than papaw...yes I said that.. and I have had a long time love affair with papaw. Until recently. Now it is dead to me.

This lipbalm is not for the faint hearted. If your lips are cracked and sore from either air-con or winter chills then this will work. It stings a little but that is short lived and it cleared my cracked dry lips up quick smart. I keep my little pottle on me now.
