    This is a very good balm for my lips!
    I recently stopped using lipglosses because all they do is dry out my lips. So now i'm just sticking to lipbalm.

    I love Carmex. just recently i had a huge bump on my lip (which was so painful to the touch) and another one right near it. So i put some carmex on it and buy the next day it was slowly going away. And now it's completely gone!

    I think the ingredient "Saliycic Acid" is what made the pimple go away. which is why i love this balm so much because anytime i wear anything greasy on my lips it causes tiny little bumps around my mouth.

    I would recommend this product to anyone, it's a great buy and it works!

    Yeeach!! This lip balm tastes pretty bad. Every time I put it on even a little, I would have a crayon taste in my mouth. This thing has camphor which may sooth skin temporarily, but constant use would actually make it an irritant. Also, why is there Salicylic acid in this? That ingredient would make your lips worse by making it peel even more when it's already chapped and it did happen to me. That sucks! Carmex should rethink the ingredients here, perhaps put a sunscreen. Anyway, it smells good and it's cheap compared to others, so I give it 2 stars.

      I always keep Carmex on hand for dry, chapped lips. I keep one in the car, one on the nightstand, one in the purse. Works great. Smells minty. Easy to apply. Love this larger size so you don't run out as fast.

        Comments about Carmex Cold Sore Reliever and Lip Moisturizer, Jar, .5 oz:

        I really like Carmex, I love menthol and so I love the flavor/scent and I find it really effective as a lip balm, also for under stuffed nostrils, however, I am weary of the fact that it contains Fragrance ("Fragrance" being a trade secret blend of anything/everything doesn't have to have it's ingredients revealed) because Fragrance generally isn't good for your skin, let alone for a product you ingest in small quantities. Other than the Fragrance (which I can't imagine is really necessary because of the menthol and camphor) Carmex is great!

          I use Carmex as a fingernail cuticle treatment each night as I am going to bed. It keeps cuticles moisturized and flexible.

          I have dry wit, dry eyes and dry lips. I am *seriously* addicted to this stuff, so it is like a crack pot for me. I have one by the bed, one by the computer, one by my chair in the living room, and one in my handbag when I go out. If I find I don't have one when I'm out, I panic and look for a drugstore! I use it at least every half hour every day. I had being so dependent o anything, but if I don't use it, my dry lips drive me crazy.

              I think Carmex must have a secret ingrediant to promote addiction! I cannot be without this product EVER! I mean NEVER! I use it every night before bed. This is the only product that cures my chapped dry lips year round. A+

              Comments about Carmex Cold Sore Reliever and Lip Moisturizer, Jar, .5 oz:

              I use this at night before going to bed because of the strong medicated smell. It smells like an ointment, which probably explains the super duper power to cure my VERY VERY VERY chapped lips. I recently moved to a fairly dry area near the mountains so the climate/environment change has taken it's toll on my lips. I use lip balms during the day but at night this is my HG!!!! (holy grail) LOVE IT! Just try it, you won't regret it!

                I have 3 or 4 pots of this stuff at all times! It needs to always be within reach. For me it is a nightly ritual to apply it to keep my lips from getting chapped. It's the only product that lasts all night long.
