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.

Carmex Lip Balm

This stuff is amazing!! Ive used it 4 times and it moisturises my lips, has a nice smell, leaves your lips feeling more repaired, healthy looking with a little bit of shine.

Tips: Great for those hot days, or windy days where you need a little moisture on the lips

Hubby stole it

Yes well I used it a couple times when it arrived my partner saw me and asked to use it, I've not seen it since lol. I just told him he had to help write the review as he stole it so I asked him the important questions. Smells nice, lasts couple hours, good stuff, so there you go his review. I did like the consistency when applying and the smell not too strong and felt it really hydrated my lips when I got to use it lol

Tips: Don't leave it lying around, it will be stolen

Very tingly

I wanted to love this lip balm but its really not for me. As soon as I put this on my lips they were extremely tingly, in an uncomfortable way. Not sure if this lip balm is supposed to have this effect or not? Glad this is a freebie, will pass this onto my partner who hopefully will like it.

Lol, mine picked it up from the table and said whats this? Guess it doesn't look like one of my normal lip balms! I really didn't expect it to tingle like that, hopefully he likes this one (he gets the skincare stuff I don't like lol)

Good and the Bad

This product has both good and bad qualities. Firstly I like the texture and the thick consistency and application is smooth. I like the initial slight vanilla scent, but then it changes and the taste and smell make me feel sick. It leaves my lips soft for a while which is nice and the slight tingle from the menthol is not unpleasant, I also like that the tube is bright yellow and red so its hard to loose in my bag. I just find the smell and taste that I get in my mouth when I use this really unpleasant.

Not for me.

I got this free from the website and am going to give it an honest review. I hated it! I put a little bit on my lips and they stung for ages, even got my eyes watering! Way too strong for me and not at all what I am looking for in a lip balm!

Very medicinal but effective

If you are not a fan of tingly mentholated type products or medicinal smelling products than this is definitely not for you. However it is a great balm for repairing damaged skin - have been spending alot of time outside in the sun lately and my lips were peeling, dry and flaking so badly despite scrubbing and wearing lipbalm with spf all day - one night of wearing this and they were fixed.

Tips: Doesn't contain a sunscreen so be aware of that however its great for repairing sun-ravaged lips.

Mix of the good and the bad

I had heard a lot about this product, but frankly I was disappointed by it. Menthol and Camphor are both known drying ingredients, which does the exact opposite of a lip balm. It seems like Carmex are trying to ensure a constant market for their product by drying out people's lips as they try to use it. I liked the balm's texture, and didn't mind the smell some people have described, but the inclusion of menthol has totally ruined it.

Carmex Lip Balm

I got this free from a website like many of other girls on BR, At first it gave a very weird tingly feeling which i didn't like, it kinda burned my lips to be honest but after i tried it around 5 more times it didn't seem to hurt my lips so much. It has really helped my cracked/peeling lips now i use it daily!!

Tips: try it a few times before you decide its not your thing :)

Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm

Glad to read the reviews below which say they also had the tingling feeling - thought it was just me when I gave some to a friend who said they didn't feel anything! Despite the tingling, which isn't a bad feeling, I like the Carmex Lip Balm which is mositurising and the methanol smell is refreshing. However, I can't use this when at night because the tingling feeling keeps me awake - only bad thing about this product (Plus the packaging is a bit outrageous for me).

Very good balm

This balm is nice, it goes on well and has a nice almost honey taste to it. My lips aren't that bad this time of the year but the balm kept them moist and over the course of the last 2 weeks I have not suffered from dry lips at all.

Tips: Don't leave it in a warm car, my mistake as when I went to put on the heat had made the balm a bit more liquid, leaving me with heaps at a time.
