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.

Best Lip Balm

This is my go to lip balm but at around $8 i feel like it's a little pricey, but it does last a long time. As soon as you put it on you can feel a warm feeling, like vicks vapour rub but it's not bad. It instantly heals my dry chapped lips which is why i keep using it. My husband as even started using it and have recommended it to family and friends.

Tips: you don't need to use a huge amount, lip balm version in the tube is easier to use than the little tub as it gets stuck under your nails.

For When All Other Lip Balms Have Failed

I have tried this a couple of times over the years and decided to give it another whirl when I had really dry chapped lips recently.

First off, when you put it on it has a tingle that reminds me of Vicks Vapour Rub. It also does quite well in it's capacity as a lip protectant and has kept my lips feeling moisturized and protected in an air-conditioned building where other lip balms were just drying me out.

The packaging isn't sexy looking but the squeeze tube is quite good for hygiene.

I tend towards more natural lip balms as a personal preference, but after rediscovering this one, I will definitely keep it in mind for when all other lip balms have failed.

Soft lips

I picked up a tube of this lip balm from my local pharmacy. I like to use balms during summer . My lips feel drier in this season .

Packaging comes in a bright yellow tube . Has the carmex labelling down the side . Consistency reminds me of a balm not solid . Seems to be soft like paste . Like vaseline. This scent is hard for me to describe similar to blistex .

I like how this protects my lips from the sun . My lips feel hydrated . I like to keep this in my hand bag to keep me going throughout the day . I can see myself buying this again.

Obsessed

Carmex has been my absolute lifeline since discovering it in the states. I was one of those $2 shop lip gloss kids at intermediate, so my lips are pretty ruined from that even after all these years - constant chapping (amplified by inability to breathe through my nose). Carmex relieves this quickly, smells great, and makes my lips look plump and supple. Its great value as well and easy to find at chemists - though I stocked up in the States recently, hope my local gets the 3 packs in soon! I have one in my bag, one next to my bed and one next to the couch.... my Carmex is never far away!!

Tips: Don't squeeze hard, you don't need a lot! And don't leave in hot places as it will melt. It does re-form once cool, but will be extra runny if you use it while warm!

Carmex flavoured lip treatment

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

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

My Go-to Lip Balm!

This lip balm is always on me! My handbag isn't complete unless it is there! This is my favourite lip balm ever! As soon as I apply it I can feel it working and my lips feel much better already. It is smooth to apply and has no undesirable scent. Most importantly it has SPF which is so necessary even on your lips in NZ! Packaging is bright yellow, nothing amazing, but you can definitely recognize the brand which makes it easy when shopping for the product.

Tips: Keep lips exfoliated by scrubbing your lips while you exfoliate your face to help prevent chapped lips.

carmex lips

Carmex lip balm is the one beauty product I could not live without. I apply it at least twice a day, love the smell and adore the tingly lip pumping sensation it provides.

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.
