Carmex Lip Balm

Recently went to Las Vegas, where the heat is beyond ridiculous. It felt like someone was blowing a fan heater directly onto my face.

My lips were so dry and cracked and all round disgusting due to the heat. Went to walgreens & found this lip balm in the tube (was a liquid formula as opposed to the one you get in a jar)

To put simply, it saved my life. After applying onto my lips they immediately started feeling cooler, hydrated and well, less disgusting. Though my lips were already cracked, applying this product healed it within a matter of hours.

The lip balm lasted for at least half a day, even whilst eating and drinking. You need a tiny amount to cover your lips - the product will last me a while!

I had forgotten all about this brand until I seen it on here I used to use it as a teen but haven’t seen it around for a good few years unfortunately,it’s a little on the pricey side for the size of the tube but goes on nice and your lips feel moisturised you don’t need to apply much as it spreads easily so it does last a little while,also easy to find in the depths of your handbag

This is the best lip balm I have EVER used. I started using this when being treated for acne with isotretenoin - an acne medication with the side effect of severely drying lips and skin. Nothing else worked to relieve the pain of sore dry cracking bleeding lips exact this. It feels great and tingly when applied, and lips do not become reliant on it like other lip balms often cause. Whenever I put this on my guy mates also always love the smell!

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.

I received this lip balm in a package about a week ago, and it came at just the right time! My lips were cracked and dry and I needed a balm to sooth them back into line... This product did just that! I am now hooked on carmex lip balm and would have no hesitation recommending it to a friend. It certainly saved me!

I get really dry lips during winter and it sucks because I love applying matte lipsticks and it the crack hurts my lips as well.

Goodiebox included this on one of my boxes, and I gave it a go. I love the cooling sensation that it gives my lips. And it was smooth to apply and my lips feel as if it's drinking all the moisture.

I woke up next morning and my lips were smooth and feels like baby's lips. I am inlove with this product and will continue to use it.

Wonderful when I was getting acne treatment (which causes really dry lips) I've only used the jar which has its own problems; in itself unrelated. But overall its wonderful! Simple and you can really feel it when it is moisturizing your lips, not just coating over it. I only wish they had more variety in flavors.

I bought the one in the jar. The balm is a pale yellow colour and comes in a white jar with a bright yellow screw top lid.   Once applied, the balm appears clear on the lips and has a similar consistency to vaseline (petroleum jelly).

The camphor and menthol added to the balm to soothe severely dry lips gives it a minty smell and slight tingle on the lips when first applied, but the smell and tingle does go away after a few minutes.  This product does not contain an SPF and can be a bit messy to apply, as you need to dip your finger into the jar to apply it to your lips.  

It's not a bad lip balm and does the job, but I would not purchase another jar, I may try the tube instead.

Carmex lip balm is definitely worth every cent you will spend on it. As soon as it is applied my lips feel relieved and refreshed. The menthol feels great! This product has always been very effective at soothing my dry, cracked lips and I also often apply it before bed.

I have incredibly dry/chapped lips and have since I was young. I've tried so many lip balms that I've lost count. I bought a three pack of these balms (original, cherry and strawberry) on a whim from ASOS, and wow. Nothing has ever made my lips feel so amazing.

Normally, with other balms, they would still be sore and chapped but it was better than using no product at all. When using this however, I have no soreness and after continuous use over a few hours, there's no flacking or peeling on my lips.

I honestly don't think I will be needing to try a different lip balm for a long, long time thanks to this product!
