Carmex Lip Balm - 0.5 oz tub Review Summary

"Simple but effective" is how our reviewers describe Carmex Lip Balm in the one half ounce tub. This little tub of golden balm soothes with menthol and makes lips tingle as it goes to work on chapped, cracked lips. Our reviewers say Carmex Lip Balm works wonders on their dry lips, making them soft, smooth, and moist. And they just love that tingle! Men and women both use and love Carmex. A little goes a long way! But do note that there is no sunscreen in the balm so protect your lips with other balsm when in the sun. Comparing lip balms?

As a frequent chapped lip sufferer, I have not only tried many, MANY lip products, but I LITERALLY cannot be without one at any time.

The way I happened to stumble upon Carmex, was a time when I was over my Mother-In-Law's house and realized I did not have any lip balm with me, and my lips were ON FIRE!...

Carmex is a great lip product, don't get me wrong but I don't really like the taste of it or the smell.  Vasoline brand makes a similar product in the tube form (compare to the Carmex lip product in tube form) that I find just as good if not better without the bad taste and with no smell.  I find the...

So I went on accutane a few months ago and this is the only thing that saved my ridiculously chapped lips.  So soothing and made all the difference in the cracking and peeling of my lips.  Easy to apply, no funny smell, and does not have a bad taste if it gets in your mouth.  GET THIS STUFF!!

Quick View

Carmex is a good healing lip balm with a tingle that I love. It helps keep my lips soft and smooth and heals chapped lips overnight.

Full View

Carmex is a golden balm that has a menthol scent and tingles on the lips, almost like lip plumper. It isn't fancy nor tasty but it heals my sore, dry lips and, if I they are chapped or cracked and windburned, one thick coat at night heals my lips by morning. This is also good for cold sores.

This product comes in a .5 ounce tub which I usually use, a .25 ounce tub, a tube and a stick. For the Carmex crazy, they are 4 and 8 ounce tubs as well. THAT's...

Carmex Lip Balm is tried and true.  It's one of two lip balms that actually help my lips.  When I apply it, it makes  my lips tingly and soft.  I instantly feel relief from chapped lips and I can see the difference.  When I use other lip balms that are more for looks or fancy, my lips are still cracked and the stuff just goes on over it.  With Carmex Lip Balm my lips are actually healing.
  I don't know what's worse than having chapped lips that start to burn.  I actually get really cranky and desperate to put anything on my lips at that point.  Carmex soothes my irritated lips, heals the...

I think Carmex is like an old friend. It's been around forever. You can find it in almost every store. It comes in a small container, but last forever. Works great on dry cracked lips, or when I  have a cold sore I can always count on it. My teenage daughter won't use anything else.

 I love Carmex lip balm, my lips get very chapped in the winter and In Az we have dry heat that also chapped my lips.

I have used everything my elfs gave me to try for my very dry and cracked lips. One day my elf gave me this tiny little treasure to try on my lips. I used Carmex for about two days and my chapped lips was smooth as my elfs bottom.

 

 I even had a dry nose around the opening, I also use a little for my dry chapped nose from blowing it all day. It worked and healed my cracked chapped nose. The smell was menthol like so it helped me breath a little better too.

 

 

My lips was as soft...

Every woman wants soft, kissable lips, and this product will give you that. I love lip products and have tried so many different brands, as well as the prices that go along with some of them, but this is the best product I have found. This product not only soothes chapped lips, but it provides so much moisture, and all for only 88 cents!! You can find this product almost everywhere, and I recommend stocking up. You will absolutely love it. I keep this with me at all times. If you haven't tried Carmex, go out and get some now. There's nothing like it.

Carmex lip balm is excellent. Absolutely love it. Keeps my lips from drying and chipping. something I always keep in stock. It helps cure cold sores fast. A very inexpensive way of keep lips soft and beautiful from day to day. It is like a thick layer of moisture that prevents lips from drying and cracking. It also adds a wonderful glow and shine to the lips. In winters it can be your best friend. You can even use it on dry chipped heels for that extra moisture and instant smoothness. works really well

Carmex is good...  it's clear and has a tingling sensation that lets you know it's working.  The only drawback with the container is that when you get low it can be hard to get some out.

Carmex to me is the best all around medicine for dry, chapped lips and canker sores as well. It has a numbing agent in it that helps to relieve the soreness while healing them.

This is the work horse of the lip balm products. When I need real tough lip healing this is the bomb. It is so inexpensive and it feels great going on.  Cooling and soothing. It does have a bit of a strong smell and I don't use if I'm going out on the town. However if you want winter time healing this is your baby.  It's also good for cold sores, which is what my sister uses it for. She always has a little container of this. Soooo good lip balm for almost no money I think it works for me.

Hello there!!  :)   Today's review is of Carmex lip balm.

Several years ago a friend urged me to try Carmex.  Up until that point I had been using Chapstick lip balm.  I was a little put off at first because Carmex just seemed so plain.  But what I found out is that this is some of the best stuff in the world for dry skin!

I admit that when I opened the jar I noticed that there was just a light menthol smell and nothing else.  However, as soon as I put this stuff on my chapped and aching lips.. I was in heaven.  My lips healed within two days!!  As an added bonus the rough skin on the...

I have always had a problem with dry lips. When I discovered Carmex, I couldn't stop using it. After the very first time I could feel a huge difference. I put it on in the morning and it lasts until lunch. While it isn't a delicious flavor or strong lip gloss, it is great for a natural, fresh look. I have tried so many different lip care items that have disappointed. From shines, to sunscreen, to anything else and none of them did anything near what Carmex on the very first day. It rejuvinated and moisturized my mouth which gave me so much for confidence to go out and take charge of my life. It... review »

My family and I started using Carmex after my daughter had the chickenpox.  We thought she got a terrible rash around her mouth after she was sick.  We took her to the dermatologist and he gave her a prescription.  The rash only got worse.  My aunt seen her and suggested using Carmex.  Her mouth started getting better right away.  We have been using it ever since, which is 16 years.  I would not use any other profuct unless I was very, very convinced it could work better.  It doesn't have a pleasant taste, but it's not awful either.

Carmex recommends using the product for cold sores, fever...
