I've been using Carmex for a few years now. My lips always used to get drier over the winter, which is why I originally started using it... but now I need it all year round. I've tried switching...

Ahh Carmex. How I love that familiar tingle whenever I apply Carmex. This is a time-tested classic that really does what it says. The jar is not hygenic though. Try the tube version instead.

one of the best lip balms I ve even used and I have tried a lot of brands. It moisturizes and leaves the skin soft and subtle at the same time it smells great and stays for a long time. Non greasy,...

Carmex is fantastic- my friend introduced it to me a few months ago, and I've since purchased two- one for my place and one for my boyfriend's! I always have it with me- it keeps my lips hydrated...

This is the only thing that makes my lips feel better in the winter time, since they get really dry. I've been using this product for the last 7 years and will use it for the rest of my life.

I love this stuff!!!! I've used it for years (about 16 or 17 to be exact), and in all versions (i.e., pot, squeeze tube and stick). I use it alone and under my lip glosses. I used to get fever...

Carmex delivers smooth, soft lips without being shiny. I use it before applying lipstick. Personally, I think the smell is nice. And I absolutely adore the minty tingling on my lips that starts...

I have a love-hate relationship with this product! I sometimes find it very moisturising on my lips and hate the smell, and other times it dries out my lips like crazy but i adore the smell. I...

I love this stuff. I've been using it since I started using make up. It transforms dry chapped lips into smooth, supple, kissable ones. I put it on in the morning after washing my face and by...

This is great for my super chapped lips. I only use it when i'm overseas where my lips tend to get really dry due to the change in weather. It's not a daily usage thingy and i won't use it daily...

I have to say that people who are giving Carmex a low rating and ranting about how it's too harsh are misunderstanding the purpose of this product. Yes, if you apply Carmex to smooth, healthy lips,...

This formula is great..the menthol relieves my dry lips. I wouldn't buy again because the flavour/smell is awful and Aveeno does the same thing without the smell.
