It's an alright lip balm. Some people swear by it, but it just feels like vaseline with a medicated vanilla scent. I like the squeezy tube, but other than that there's nothing too special about it. It...Read more

This balm did not work for me at all. After doing some research, I learned that it camphor, menthol, and phenol which are known irritants. It gives the lips a numbing feeling and therefore it tricks s...Read more

I prefer the original formula in the plastic jar, as it’s the thickest and creamiest and stays on longest. (However, the jar formula doesn’t contain SPF, so if you want sun protection, go with the sti...Read more

I have the classic chapstick version of this and I’m SO in love with it. It provides incredible moisture to my lips and I’m obsessed with that tingly and fresh feeling it gives to the lips. The only r...Read more

I love it! Using it for 10+ years and won't be using anything else. I tried many products in the meantime, but always went back to this one. Cheap, effective, available in different stroes. Lips are ...Read more

Excellent product. I'm on Roaccutane so my skin is extremely dry. My lips get so dry that they peel and bleed. This is my 3rd time on Roaccutane and I was recommended it by my dermatologist my 1st tim...Read more

I don't use this all year round but it's good for when you want to bring out the big guns in winter. This was most effective when I went on a skiing holiday and the constant heat from under-floor heat...Read more

Like vaseline. Nothing fancy. Application from tube sucks. So I squish it out onto my finger first then apply to lips with finger. Will not re-purchase.

Nothing fancy, but this stuff works. I am prone to very dry lips, particularly in the winter, and this corrects them in one application. I am not a fan of the slight tingle, but it disappears quickly ...Read more

Carmex in a tube is not for me. I find it messy and I always end up applying too much. I like the other ones though. They moisturise my lips well, although I am not too happy about the tingly feeling.

Decent Price and packaging won't save you from it burning your lips. It lasted less than 5 seconds before it had to be wiped off.

Minty sensation is nice, minty taste is horrible. It does help chapped lips but there are better products out there. I wouldnt repurchase though.
