After reading reviews on this stuff, I went out and bought two pots for myself. At Walmart, they were 88 cents each! I keep one in my purse, and one at home. I apply it three times daily, and it...

This is by far the best lip balm I have ever used, and I have used lots! This is the first lip balm that I don't feel my lips have become 'addicted' to. It has a lovely texture and a great little...

After using Prada lip balm for a long time, I heard good things about Carmex and wanted to give it a try. This is IMO, the best lip balm on the market. It has kept my lips chapped free, has a...

There are many myths out there about Carmex, but for me, it just works. I don't think it's addictive or that it contains bits of glass or anything else I've heard. True, if you overuse it and put...

Okay, this is my HG of lip treatments! I won't touch anything else. I just slather some on my lips before bed, and when I wake up, and wash my face, off comes all kinds of dead skin. Before I...

This is the best lip balm I've used. It's cheap, does it's job, and is widely available. I love the tingling feeling when I put this stuff on.

I love Carmex, but if there were any one lip balm to support the lipbalm-addiction theory, it would be Carmex. But still, what a classic. I love the smell (for nostolgic reasons).

I buy this in the pot and rub on my lips all winter - it contains some mint and salicylic acid and has a strong smell that doesn't bother me (I dont' wear it out, only around the house, etc). It...

What can I say, I just love Carmex. I try to stay away from the stuff as I do believe it is addictive but it feels sooo nice on, and im a sucker for the vanilla menthol plastic smell! I always hear...

A staple of mine for years. In any form (stick-plain with spf 15, with mint and spf 30, and plain in pot or tube) this product has never failed to instantly heal and provide comfort for my lips...

This really is softening as long as you're not applying it 100 times a day. I use it first thing in the morning and I don't have any problems with my lips (or lipstick or gloss) flaking or turning...

Blech, blech, blech -- I hate this stuff -- the waxy texture and the nasty scent/taste.

This is really waxy--at least the stick version--and I didn't like that my lips were still dry after using it.

This really moisturizes my lips but it smells so bad that it makes me feel sick to my stomach. Too bad because it really works. I've seen it in pot and squeeze tube formulas.

My dry and cracked lips were cured instantly after using this Carmex EZ-on Applicator. I got the same great soothing tingle that I get from carmex in a pot. This is better b/c there is no messy...

I have chronically chapped, flaky lips until I remember to use this stuff. The salicylic acid exfoliates brilliantly. Once my lips are smooth, I prefer less irritating balms. Do not use Carmex if...

I really hate this lipbalm. Medicated lipbalms aren't helpful to lips in the least, and can actually cause dryness, peeling and irritation, instead of helping. Has a very menthol smell, that's...
