Carmex

Carmex Logo #1 pharmacist recommended lip balm for nine consecutive years by Pharmacy Times Magazine. Used for decades by people in cold weather areas such as Montana and Washington state, I discovered this while going to college in North Dakota. Much better than any other lip balm, this nourishes your lips instead of just covering it with a wax, such as Burt's Bees and Chapstix.

I've been using Carmex for years now and believe me when I say, I don't go anywhere without it!

  Carmex - Best Lip Balm for Winter, hands down!

Best Lip Balm for Winter, hands down!

As a frequent chap lipped girl, through harsh winds and unbearable cold, Carmex has been there to cure every cold sore and patch of dry skin on my lips. A very thick and concentrated wax, one application will definitely keep you covered for the day. It locks in moisture and adds protection for sure! You will not be insecure about the appearance of your lips. The one con I would have to say about this product is it's strong smell. view more

Long Lasting, Moisturizing

I've been using this carmex product for as long as I can remember. It's great if you are outdoors in the cold weather for longer periods of time (carmex is a favorite for when I'm skiing) because it lasts a long time and protects from wind chapping and drying out. view more

Addicting!

I Love Carmex! I think i'm addicted. I always have two tubes on hand at all times, and also have them throughout the house in case i need a quick reapply. I find the formula to be rich and smooth. Its not overlly frangrant and does not dry out my lips. I never use anything else. view more

  Carmex - Carmex - Wonderful

Carmex - Wonderful

I love Carmex. Although it says right on the cannister that it is for Cold Sores - I use it for every day use. It is great as a shield from the cold in the winter. Also, I find that I get sores inside my nose from the heat in winter and they can be painful - the carmex works better than anything for those. I love the smell and the feel on my lips! I love Carmex. view more

  Carmex - a true lip-saver

a true lip-saver

This stuff is so great. I have never in my life had a cold sore. But i hate getting dry cracked lips. When i was a kid this is what my mom should have been sending me to camp with. My boyfriend likes to laugh because he says I have jars of it everywhere from the car to the bedroom. I can never seem to find it when I need it. Also when my allergies are acting up really bad and my nose starts to get raw i rub a little on my nose and it fixes it right up. This really great stuff. view more

  Carmex - Soft lips!

Soft lips!

Carmex is a staple in my purse. I use to every evening before I go to sleep to prevent chapped lips. It's usually a tiny bit over $1 in price and works wonderfully! I've used to to treat sunburnt lips, as well just chapped lips from the change in season. It also boasts on the lid that it works well for cold sores and fever blisters. I can't vouch for those, but I can vouch for the chapped lips and sunburnt lips. It's the only product I will buy for chapped lips! When you apply it has a cooling sensation, which I love! They can be found in the impulse item displays at many stores, as well as in the aisle where other lipbalms and chap sticks are located. Their website is: http://www.carma-labs.com view more

  Carmex - Leaves lips moisturized

Leaves lips moisturized

I really love carmex. I like the original formula in the tube. They are available at every drug store. I have them in my purse, my desk, my car, and even in my daughters diaper bag. Carmex works well and relieves dry, chapped lips. It helps relieve my cold sores. I use it on my nose when I have a cold and I get a rash from so much blowing and it relieves it right away. Can't be without my carmex. view more

  Carmex - carmex = awesome

carmex = awesome

The original carmex is the best thing out there for my lips. I have had other products cause me to break out in huge blisters, and even the carmex caused me to do this when they altered the formula, but if i stick with the orignial formula carmex it works great and no allergic reactions! I love how it soothes my lips and keeps them protected, a lot of other balms don't really help do anything, they just cake on and feel like a big glob. view more

  Carmex - On the Fence

On the Fence

I have been told that I am addicted to chapstick...which is true. I generally buy Carmex, but always feel like that the more I use it the more I need it. It does have a great price, and great varieties to choose from, but not sure how much it really helps. view more

  Carmex - Vanilla Carmex

Vanilla Carmex

I love Carmex products. I was especially excited to see the vanilla version of the original. I have it in the twist bottom, stick form. I like the vanilla Carmex because it is milder than the original formulation. It still tingles and has that classic Carmex smell and taste but it isn't as pungent or strong as the original or even the cherry version. It still moisturizes, heals and protects lips like the other formulations though. I wear it alone, over lip stains and with other lip glosses that don't moisturize my lips as much as I would like them to. This is a great product! view more

  Carmex - Stands the test of time!

Stands the test of time!

I LOVE Carmex. I always have. I like the traditional Carmex in the tins (not tin anymore) that you apply with your finger. I used those when I was younger, and I have upgraded. I've moved on to the flavored Carmex in the tubes, and they are not disappointing. Carmex still works well, and it's still my go to moisturizer for my lips. I depend on my Carmex to help soothe and heal my lips as the cool weather of winter sets in. view more

  Carmex - I have the cherry one

I have the cherry one

I have the carmex that is cherry scented and I LOVE IT! It's a great product to have in the summer because it has SPF in it which helps to prevent from sunburn. If I had to pick one product for my lips for the summer I would HANDS DOWN pick carmex! view more

  Carmex - The only product that keeps my lips soft

The only product that keeps my lips soft

First of all, do not be turned off by the label claiming it's for cold sores. While I'm sure it might work well for cold sores, I believe the majority of Carmex users use it for it's amazing moisturizing properties. My lips are very prone to getting painfully chapped and (sorry for the image) they start to peel. I have tried almost every product that claims to heal and prevent chapped lips, and while some of them lessened the problem, they just didn't work like I expected, or they worked somewhat well in the beginning and then stopped working over time. Carmex is the *only* lip balm that works for me, and it works fast too. My lips are utterly soft and kissable, and it took less than a week for Carmex to make them so. I apply it once a day to keep them moisturized. view more

  Carmex - Carmex lipbalm

Carmex lipbalm

I've tried many chapsticks and I keep going back to this one. It relieves my chappy lips and moisturizes them. I am not too fond of the smell though. I have both the tube and pot version and i prefer the tube because i don't like dipping my fingers into the product. view more

  Carmex - My Lips Love Carmex

My Lips Love Carmex

Carmex is the greatest for lips. I have tried all kinds of lip balms and chapsticks and none work as good as Carmex. You can tell it's working as soon as you put it on. It's ecspecially great in the winter when chapped lips happen more often. At my job I'm on the phone a lot and I keep a jar of Carmex at my desk to keep my lips from drying out during the day. view more

  Carmex - Only one I use

Only one I use

I came across Carmex back in high school, and immediately became addicted :) You can feel it working as soon as you put it on. I've tried other brands, but none have worked as well. I like the cherry flavor the best, but it feels like it is a different formulation than the original, so I switch back and forth between cherry and original. Not bad, just different. I like that they came out with a stick version so now I can put it in my pocket and take it with me. view more

  Carmex - A must have

A must have

Carmex is a staple lip balm for me. I have been using it for years and it's the only thing to instantly soothe dry, cracked lips that leaves them moisturized for hours. I have it in stick form, as i prefer it to the squeeze tube or pot. It makes my lips soft and nourished. I enjoy the smell as well. Will continue to purchase. view more

  Carmex - Down with Carmex (as a lip balm)

Down with Carmex (as a lip balm)

So this is not a good review for Carmex... when I put Carmex on my lips last year, not only did my lips swell and blister, but the redness spread to the skin surrounding my lips. I ended up looking like the joker from The Dark Knight. It was a painful experience and I couldn't understand why it was happening. Then I read and found some facts... Carmex is designed to only treat cold sores... ingredients include: Menthol, Camphor, and Phenol which are all ingredients suited to treat cold sores but are too harsh to be used on lips on a daily basis. Because these ingredients are so drying (drying out a cold sore is a necessary step to healing it) it can dry out regular lips and cause a lot of painful, red, clown-ish lips. So avoid Carmex if you are looking for a good lip balm! view more

  Carmex - Nice lipbalm

Nice lipbalm

I have used Carmex forever..it's a great treatment for your lips. I only use this at night before I go to sleep. In the morning, any dry skin I had the night before is gone. I prefer the tube because I hate using my fingers. It's not the best smelling lipbalm but it really does work wonders for dry lips. view more

  Carmex - Wonderful lip balm, smells

I love everything about Carmex except for the smell. It doesn't make me stop using it, but it would be a pretty perfect lip balm if it smelled better. I can put this on at night and wake up with soft and moisturized lips. view more

used this for most of my life

This stuff tastes gross if it gets on your tongue but it does the job when you have very dry lips and are looking for some relief. My mother used to buy this all the time I dont ever remember this letting me down. Even after I stray and use other products this always one I come back to ( especially in the winter time) view more

  Carmex - Don't understand the hype

Don't understand the hype

I bought carmex at the grocerry store because my allergies were acting up and my lips were so cracked and dried. I put it on in the car and even though I loved the healing power it had I still hated the taste and smell of this product. Before I saw my boyfriend I rinsed it off my lips because I thought it was so bad he would say something Only see myself using this when I need a healing balm but once it's done I'll be taking it off. view more

  Carmex - Best lip balm (and I've tried LOTS!)

Best lip balm (and I've tried LOTS!)

I have big lips and I smile/laugh/talk a lot, which stretches out my lips and causes them to get dry quickly. I've tried SO MANY lip balms over the years and keep going back to Carmex. It makes my lips look naturally glossy without being slick, lasts a long time, and keeps my lips soft and supple (I once had a makeup artist comment that he used it on models because the mentholated aspect of it seemed to plump lips up!) It's also cheap, so I don't feel guilty about using it all the time, and I dab it on my hands when the skin gets chapped, and it soothes that nicely as well :) view more

Love the tin!

I absolutely LOVE Carmex, especially in the tin! I find it a lot more sanitary and even though sometimes a bit inconvenient, I would not trade it for the world. Whenever I feel a tingle of a coldsore coming, I grab my Carmex and feel the tingle of it working! Works fantastic, and my daughter loves it as well. view more

  Carmex - Relief for chapped, painful lips

Relief for chapped, painful lips

As a musician (woodwind player), some festivals really do a number on my lips. After enough hours of rehearsals and performances, my lips often end up painfully chapped. I slather my lips with Carmex once I'm done performing for the day (and put on a thick layer before bed), and it provides instant relief. view more

Rich, lovely lips from using this product! I love my Carmex! I moved to EL PASO TEXAS and you can bet that after arriving there within twenty minutes, you need water and a good, rich lip balm to keep moisture. This is the ONLY one that works in the desert folks, please trust me on that! view more

Carmex strawberry flavored lip balm!

I love Carmex and I love the strawberry flavored version of this lip balm. I use it EVERY DAY! If my lips ever feel a little chapped I reach for this right away to bring them back to their natural luster. I like to pair it up with lipstains to keep my lips moist without detracting from the lipstains color. view more

  Carmex - Love The Tingle ;)

Love The Tingle ;)

I cannot stand to have dry lips even for a few minutes and have always used lip balms, lip gloss, etc. to keep my lips moisturized. I used to love the highly-scented/flavored ones but once I tried Carmex, I never looked back. I realized that I had to reapply the others all the time, but the Carmex gave longer-lasting relief. My only problem with it was the jar-type packaging because it's not always convenient to have to apply with my finger, so I was elated when I found the stick and squeeze versions. I use the stick (Cherry is my favorite!) during the day, and the squeeze at night because it seems to last longer. Love this stuff! view more

I am truly addicted to Carmex lipbalm. I always get tubes, between 6-10, for gifts at holidays as a joke and have it with me at all times. My all time favorite is the Strawberry, though it's harder to locate. I always have a tube on my nightstand, a couple in my purse and one in my pocket. view more

  Carmex - NOT for every-day use, people!!

NOT for every-day use, people!!

People need to realize that Carmex should ONLY be used for the treatment of cold sores and not as an every-day treatment for chapped lips. It contains a lot of strong chemicals that act as drying agents to dry out cold sores and NOT as moisturizing agents that your lips need. It IS effective in treating cold sores but is not a good choice for everyday lip treatment. Look to Burt's Bees or another lip-friendly product for that. view more

Gotta Have My Carmex

I keep a pot of Carmex in my purse, bathroom, on my night table...everywhere! I have a horrible time with my lips cracking in the winter months. Carmex is the only lip balm that really heals them and does it quickly. It is also great as a gloss over matte lipsticks. I've always hated the gloppy feel of lip gloss; A little Carmex works wonders! view more
