Carmex Lip Balm

I really like this product, the squeezy tube is really easy to chuck in your bag, it doesn't melt on hot days and doesn't go super hard on cold days. it contains menthol which provides a nice tingly feeling once applied I use this constantly during the day as I work in an office environment with air-con. it smells sweet but isn't a overly nice smelling product but doesn't smell bad either. it provides shine on the lips which is good. not really impressed that it contains petroleum but I have still been using it anyway.

I received the little pottle version of this, rather than the tube, in one of the GoodieBox parcels last year. I'm so glad I did!

My first impression was 'oh my god, did they send me vicks???' but after a while, I got used to the warm tingling sensation and I use it religiously now. It sits on the side table next to the sofa just in arms reach, so I can apply whenever I like.

The little pottle is all white with a yellow lid, and inside the golden product. Using a finger, take the smallest amount possible. It's super easy to put on, so if you start with a small amount, once it warms, its actually more than you thought it was and you aren't left scraping product back into the little container.

As I said, slight tingling sensation, but once you are used to it, it is quite pleasant. It disappears (or you stop noticing) the feeling, though the menthol smell doesn't quite go away, and the taste is terrible, and best of all, it lasts for hours. I can apply it at 7 and still feel it as I'm about to head to bed.

This is best used after you've exfoliated your lips. I haven't had to exfoliate for a while though, as my lips have been perfect because of this balm!

This product comes in a cute cardboard holder with red and yellow packaging that wouldn’t look out of place in the 1950s. I bought it from Mighty Ape for $4.99.

The 4.25g plastic tube the product comes in has a safety seal – very novel! It has a twist up bottom and the lid just pops off – very simple and easy to use.

The product is a waxy kind of firm gel with a smell and taste that I can’t identify but which reminds of something from my childhood – another balm that came in a similar container that was brown. It is almost a little like a cross between vicks and eucalyptus and tingles and warms a little on the lips. I love it!!

After using it, my lips feel soft and warm, and hydrated. It really is a very odd sensation, but very nice. And it lasts on the lips for ages.

The product claim is that it is long lasting relief for dry chapped lips. It is that, and more besides. It really makes me feel nostalgic.

I will re-purchase, as I love this balm and I use lots of lip balm, and I do recommend it to others to try.

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.

I have the tube version of this and I am currently using it every night before I go to sleep. I have a large number of lip balms, all for different purposes, and this is one of the best to put on before you go to sleep.

The formula is quite thick, but rubs into your lips easily. It is not a waxy formualtion like some stick lip balms can be, and instead is more of a slippery texture on the lips.

I find it very hydrating, and often when I wake up I still have some residue on my lips - I do tend to apply generously however. I really enjoy the tingling sensation of this as well - it does not last long though. The real test of this lip balm will come in winter when my poor lips are chapped beyond recognition - but I have no doubts Carmex will be up to the task.

I love this lip balm! At first it was a little strange, it was as though I was applying Vicks on my lips. It has a scent of Vicks mixed with a butter.

When first applied it gives a tingly or mild cooling sensation but I actually quite like that, the sensation doesn't last long tho. The product stayed put for a reasonable length of time and left my lips feeling nice and smooth.

I now apply it every night before I go to bed and I've not had any problems with dry or chapped lips since using this 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.

I don't have issues with my lips I've never had severe dry lips but when id have a cut caramex was gentle and after applying a thick layer at night before falling asleep for two days the cut on my lip stops hurting and get much better it's almost instant

I received a s balm stick of Carmex as a gift and after looking it up, heard it was a "cult" American product. At the time, I had a nasty split in the corner of my lip that none of my usual treatments were helping. The Carmex helped to heal this and I could feel a big improvement overnight. The balm goes on quite thickly and I found the tingly menthol sensation quite strong - a bit unpleasant for me but characteristic of the balm so I "go with it". I really like the staying power of this product, it really makes my lips feel plump, juicy and moisturised and is pretty helpful in the healing stakes too. I'd buy it again.

I came across this lip balm recently and have been converted. It makes my lips tingle when I put it on in a really nice way, and it keeps my lips moisturised for hours. It doesn't get 'eaten' off or wear away, but stays on for a long time
