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.

Next best thing to Blistex

Carmex is my second fiddle to Blistex - sometimes mainly in winter my lips turn to custard and i need something really thick and penetrating and carmex does the trick for me. the only downside for this for me is the smell its a bit like 8hour cream and blistex mixed but i guess they all smell like that. definately a great lip conditioner

Nice, bright and compact

I have this in the little jar and think its really cute and compact. I love the bright yellow they have used as it stands out against some of the other lip balms out there on the market. So, my first impression of this is that I love the texture, not too thick and not too thin. I love the scent/fragrance of this, as it reminds me of Vicks Vapour Rub due to the menthol ingredient in it. However, after I've had it on for awhile though, it starts to feel a bit gluggy, although it doesn't look gluggy, it feels like it is, I guess its similar to Vaseline. It definitely leaves your lips nice and moisturised, so no complaints there, for me, but I've given it 4 stars due to the texture of it after its been on awhile. Other than that I really like it.

Tips: If you don't like the texture of Vaseline on your lips, then this product may not be the one for you.

Cooling and tingly

I love this lip balm, it keeps my lips moisturised and because of the menthol in it, it feels cooling and tingly. I know some people hate that feeling, but I love it, it makes me feel really fresh, especially in the winter, when the cold air makes the feeling even more cooling. I like this for daytime use, but if I use it overnight, I wake up in the morning with a weird residue on my lips. This happens with most lip products though, so it must just be me.

Reminds me of blistex

I received this product a monthly subscription in a jar type. It reminds me blistex. It gives me a tingly feeling when applied. This product works to moisturize your lips. I havnt used it when Ive had sunburnt lips or wind burn. But it does moisturize, however it doesnt keep them moisturized for long. It is easy to carry around and it last long time. Ive had the product for a while so it keeps well. I would buy this item if I ran out of my normal lip balm.

Very moisturising

I bought Carmex recently after hearing that it can help with coldsore prevention (strangely!) It does seem to be working so far. I get mild coldsores very frequently, but haven't had any since using Carmex. The only thing I really don't like is all the vaseline!! Not great for your skin, but I switch it up with my EOS balms so I should be ok.

Kissable Lips

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

Carmex worked for me!

I got a pottle of this in a beauty box I subscribe to, and I just love it. I like the smell, kind of methol like, and the tingly feeling when you put it on, lets you know its there and doing its repairing job. I have it beside my bed now, and every night without fail ,I put it on as part of my bedtime routine. When I went away for a weekend and left it at home, I really noticed how dry my lips felt. I now have two pottles, one in my bag, and one by my bed, for the price it is an awesome product and i'm so glad that I was introduced to it.

Tips: Have a pot in the car, in your bag or in your desk, its so handy to pop on so your lips don't dry out.

My Tube Broke

That sounds naughtier than I inteded, but about a month in to using this paticular balm, a slit appeared at the base. Now i'm not paticularly carefuly with my possessions, so is this my fault and not a design flaw, possibly, fortunately nothing has leaked out of it, and i'm not too fussed about the hygenic-ness of having a slightly open container. But some of you may be. So I am just warning what may happen. Otherwise - this is comparable to my Holy Grail Blistex. I really like the applicator on this type. I have the tub also, but the tube is definately preferred.

Tips: I'm unsure how easy it is going to be to get out when i get down to the scraps, I do like that you can tell in normal balms or tubs, this however you can't, so I just have to trust I am getting all the product out which bothers me a little.

Tingly.

I love the tingling sensation and the minty taste and scent. I think this product is very sticky so you shouldn't go overboard during application. I would suggest to only apply it on the bottom lip and smack your lips together. I like to use this as a base for my drier lipsticks. Would repurchase but it lasts so long that I don't know when I'd need to.

Tips: A little goes a long way.

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.
