This stuff is nice until it starts to dry out your lips. They put something in it to dry your lips out so you have to keep reapplying and repurchasing it. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of it.

I actually like this stuff. It's a soft gloss to me, meaning not sticky or goopy. It moisturizes well also. It's weird but I actually use this on pimples since it contains salicylic acid and it...

I bought the tube version of this product when I was visiting NY on a recent cold winter day. I needed lip protection more than treatment but this was too medicated and not moisturizing enough. It...

I've been using the Carmex jar for years now and never thought of switching to another brand until I heard a rumor that it's addictive and makes your lips reliant on it. So I began my quest to...

HORRIBLE. I can't get past the smell or the taste and God forbid you wind up accidently getting some in your mouth. *gag* I will never understand the hype.

*Note that I have the tube version* My lips are constantly cracked and peeling. This didn't work AT ALL and both smelled and tasted dreadful. I'll stick with Epicuren until I die.

I have the tube version. I have extremely chapped lips that peel constantly no matter how much water I drink. This was just ok and the smell was terrible. There are better products out there.
