    Frankly, I'm not too fond of this product. I immensely dislike the burning feeling of it when it's on my lips, but otherwise, it mosturizes quite well for a lip treatment with SPF and I like the...

    This stuff is great for moisturizing lips and treating cold sores. I was just recently told about it and am so glad I was. The price can't be beat. I think I only paid about $1. Will definetely...

    I like the tingly feel that my lips experience but my lips get even more cracked and chapped after time with prolonged use. I remember that carmex was the middle school craze but now I don't even...

    the only petroleum-based product I will use on myself... it's my 'barrier method' of choice for lip protection (does a good job of sealing in lip treatments) and the menthol really is soothing.

    OK, kind of like the retro tub as many others do. Generally am not keen on the smell and have distressed several colleagues with the scent when applying, to cries of "ew what is that" etc etc. ...

    I don't think Carmex is that great a product! That tingling sensation is ok but that, along with its weird smell, get old quite fast! I used to like it but stopped when I realized it doesn't do a...

    Okay, I'll admit, this stuff smells terrible. It looks terrible. And, if it gets too hot or too cold, it feels terrible. BUT... there is nothing that will moisturize your lips better than this...

    I start to think this makes my lips smooth, then I go back to my Blistex Medex, and I see that this stuff is crap. Try Lip Medex and you will see what smooth lips really are :)

    I use this in the tube. It's easier to apply. I like the smell and I like how it relieves my chapped lips and helps heal cold sores. Good product and very reasonable.

    I have 4 pots of the big Carmex because I use it all the time! It's my holy grail when my lips are parched.. If used as an overnight treatment, you WILL wake up with a super soft pucker!! NOTE:...

    this product has been around forever and I can't use it - it broke my lip area out in horrible pimples when I was 16 - 30 years ago and I will never use it again!
