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.

Eh.

The lip balm wasn't the worst but it was sticky and didn't do well left in the heat - even if I just left it on the table in direct sunlight. It would often slightly sting my lips and was so greasy. I wouldn't buy this again over my Nivea lip balms.

Fast and efficient!

I had to buy my usual to-go-to lip balm that day; when I got to my regular chemist store, my to-go-to lip balm was not available, and for some reason, I wanted to try this out, and I did. To my surprise, it did what it says it would do, and the same action I got from my usual but much cheaper! Amazing how I surprised myself at the time. :-D

Tips: Don't be too scared to try out new things! It might surprise you too!

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

My favourite

Probably the only product that actually works. I have very dry lips and have tried all the lip balms in the world and trust me this is game changer. The delicious flavour is amazing by the way

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).

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.

My new favourite!

I’ll admit, I’d never heard of Carmex until I saw it on special at New World one day and decided to give it a try. It has fast become my new favourite! It smells nice, sinks into your lips fast, and is nice and long lasting. I now have a tube in each handbag, my work bag and my car! I stick with the original as it is great under lip stick without having a weird colour or shine come through.

Product is great, not a fan of the packaging

I love a good lip balm. Always have them around the house and in my handbag. This Carmex balm smells great and feels really moisturizing on your lips. I just don’t like the packaging. The rounded tip can become quite oily and sticky and I found I had to clean the tip off often. Also once you’ve reached the end of the tube there is a lot of product left inside but you can’t squeeze it out. Had to cut the tube to scrape out the remaining product and place in a separate container to apply. I did find this product great for applying before lip stains as it smoothed them out nicely.

Tips: If you are fine with keeping the tip clean and using only about 75% of the content then it’s great!
