Few lip balms can clear your nose as quickly as Carmex!  Its Active Ingredients include Menthol and Camphor, good for anti-itch and calming of discomfort as well as their get-down-to-business fumes.  The final Active Ingredient is Phenol which works as an anesthetic to knock out immediate discomfort....

I am a lip balm junkie and I had always heard that Carmex products were great for lips, so I finally splurged to try it.  This product is a little pricey, but is made with lots of lip soothers for instant relief.  I was not overly impressed by the product, though it did leave my lips soft.  The applicator... read full review »

I became a Carmex user years ago when my pharmacist recommended it for a cold sore.   Although the tiny pot of strong smelling lip balm was something of a necessity back then to heal my cold sore I found that I liked the way it felt on my lips.  I continued to use it and found that it also helped my lips get through the cold New England winter.  I didn't like having to put my finger in the jar however so I reserved the Carmex usage to lip emergencies.  Hoping to find a great product in a squeeze tube I would sometimes experiment with other lip balm brands and their applicators but I always... read full review »

Carmex Lip Balm works so well in relieving extremely dry and/or chapped lips, it is ridiculous!  There aren't enough words to express the relief that this medicated lip balm provides when your lips are so chapped, they are painful.

My son suffers every winter with chapped, cracked lips.  I've bought Blistex, Chapstick, and several other leading brands of lip balms to try to help him out.  Then, my Mother purchased him a tube of Carmex, and literally within two days, his lips were completely healed.  It was AMAZING how quickly and effectively Carmex worked.

During winter months, cold air can...

Carmex for Cold sores Lip Balm Tube 0.35oz tube is balm for healing cold sores, moisturizing, and protecting your lips. 

I bought Carmex for Cold Sores Lip Balm a few years back after borrowing it from a friend to moisturize my lips.  When I applied it for the first time it gave my lips a tingling cool sensation that made my lips feel great. It also lasted a long time before I had to reapply.  Ever since then I have been addicted.  I live in Michigan and we have LONG winters and Carmex Balmis always in my purse.  My whole family uses it.  My 5 year old son refuses chap stick because he...

loving this product, has chapped lips

Well, I really like carmex because it works very well for me. Like I said, I can't go a few hours without carmex, and if I dare try to go a day my lips start burning. The problem is that now after using carmex for a few years, I'm pretty sure my lips don't produce their own moisture and I'm pretty sure I'll be using carmex forever. It works really well for chapped lips and is cheap though.

Carmex for Cold Sores Lip Balm is great! It is cheap too and I love it! This product really mosturizes my lips in and out. When my lips get dry and they do get dry almost all the time especially in cold weathers I put the carmex on and wah laa.. it doesn't leave them chappy and stays on like a lip gloss. It has that original smell but it's okay just as long it doesn't have that stinky smell. My favorite scent is the cherry and it is the same price as the original one. The carmex really works on cold sores and how I know because my little sister tried it and once she put the carmex on the cold sore...

I didn't buy this Carmex but was in a bind on a trip and my guy friend had a 3 pack of these and gave me one. I was a bit skeptical at first because it mentioned cold sores and the ingredients were antiseptic and analgesic, not what you usually find or want in a lip balm. However, I now enjoy using this product. The scent is a bit medicinal but sort of nice, as though you were taking care of your lips. The formula is thick, not slimy, and gives a nice healthy subtle shine. I don't find that it stays on much longer than any other sort of lip balm though that I use. And perhaps the smell could...

I am a chapstick fanatic and have used many different chapsticks, most of which were the ones in the regular chapstick tube, and not this squeezy type of tube. I found that while many of them do work, they would not leave my lips moisturized enough. I use this all day, everyday. I love the shine that it leaves, and after a few minutes of putting it on, my lips feel so much healthier!

The only negative thing I can mention is that the tubing can be messy. For example, if you squeeze too much on your lips you end up with a gooey mess which feels too heavy. So, just have an easy hand when applying and...

Carmex tube lip balm is my favorite beauty product ever. First it is dirt cheap and it works great. I keep it in my car, my purse, at work, next to my bed, with my makeup and I put it on all day (not that it comes off that easy, but I am addicted to it). I often use it to dilute my lip glosses if I think they are too dark, or it looks great just by itself. My mom finally tried some last week because she thought she was getting a cold sore - and whatever it was, it was gone in 24 hours.
Great Price!

This lip balm is amazing.  Originally made for cold sores, it not only prevents cold sore break-outs but also keeps your lips from splitting and chapping.  The old flavor was a taste to be acquired but Carmex has now come out with new flavors and they make this product even better!

Carmex makes your lips feel wonderful during the winter time.  All year long, but especially in them cold, dry winter months.
