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.

Don't spend a fortune on coldsore creams this is a

I used to spend over $20 on a teeny little tube of Zervirax, No more this product is only around $8 and is every bit as good. Tingly and soothing eases the pain of coldsores as well as moisturising your lips. Apply as soon as you feel the first tingle so keep it on you at all times. I keep losing mine because my daughter and husband love to use it. Great value for money.

Tips: Keep a couple in the house and one in your bag. For coldsores apply as soon as you feel the first tingle then about 3 times per day it will reduce the time and size of the coldsore. Use it on the beach to protect your lips from drying in the sun.

Great Lip Balm

Generally fantastic softening lip balm. It has a pleasant slightly minty smell, which I think is from the menthol. It really does feel soothing and gentle on the lips, and works wonders for softening them.

The only reason this isn't my go-to lip balm is that I prefer a creamier balm than a gel-type like this.

So good til morning

I apply this everynight before sleeping. and I love the cooling sensation it gives me. When I wake up in the morning my lips feels so soft and moisturized. It has helped my dry skin from summer. Really love this.

Great consistency

Very affordable lipbalm, has a great consistency and feels nice on the lips not to sticky. It is comparable to lipbalms that cost 2 or 3 times the price

Tips: Get cherry flavour if you can

Oh dear...

So I have to give this one a thumbs down. Not only do I think Camphor is not a smell for lipbalm but it had salicylic acid in it which I am allergic to (face comes out in a pimply blister type rash). Didn't think to check if a lipbalm contained it as it's usually found in products for oily acne prone skin. Weird. Far nicer products out there!

Pretty good

I found that this lip balm is really good when travelling in different climates, as it does a fantastic job of keeping your lips moisturised. I wouldn't use it on a day to day basis as I find stick lip balms much easier to use. Other than that its a great product.

Carmex Lip Balm

I received this in my Goodiebox and was put off by the resemblance to Vicks Vapour Rub. However, after using it for a few days I'm officially a convert and on the cult bandwagon.

This lip balm leaves my lips so insanely soft, I don't know that I'll ever need a different lip balm. It smells like a mix of honey and menthol, which is weird but it grows on you. Even after an entire day of not using it, my lips are still really soft and moisturised because of liberal use before bed last night.

I like the way this lip balm is addicting, and the cute old-fashioned packaging. Huge recommendations from me!

Tips: Use a lip scrub first, for super-soft and smooth lips.

AMAZING alternative to Lucas papaw ointment

I am a bit fussy with my lip balms. I have tried a few in my day. don't really like many of the Hurraw balms. don't like Nivea. blistex is good, but...so so. lucus papaw ointment in the red tube is pretty good but...I wanted to try something new

I was nervous to buy this product. never seen it. never heard of it. don't know anyone that uses it. I read some reviews. checked the ingredients, which many of them I like...particularly beeswax and camphor. very glad I took the $5 risk!

it is nice and thick because of the beeswax and lanolin. will soften in warm conditions, otherwise stays nice and firm but pliable. love the zing from the camphor, slight vanilla smell, and balmy beeswax. fixed my VERY chapped lips. lasts well, even while wearing a mask all day at work. it feels like a nice waxy matte balm should, acting a barrier from outside elements while locking in and maintaining your inner natural lip hydrations. i got this one coz I don't like dipping fingers into little tubs of balm...so unhygienic in my opinion.

will recommend and buy again!

Tips: I had it in my pocket and it got a bit soft. Held in my hand and got quite soft. So keep out of place where it could go soft if you want it to stay nice and firm yet pliable. I just leave mine in my handbag...although it is winter right now...Will have to see how summer goes

I get really badly cracked lips. I received a sample with my goodie box last month.

This is my new favorite chap lip remedy, I've now got lovely soft and hydrated lips, not one crack all winter.

Tips: A little goes a LoNG way

Totez Amaze balls ;)

I love this lip balm. Its not only a great product, its easy to travel around with, tube and pottle. Although similar to the brand Blistex, I find Carmex better, as it does a better job on chapped lips and overall conditioning of the lips.

Tips: A little goes a long way, or you end up with it slipping off your lips to your chin if you apply to much.
