Carmex is the only lip balm that works for me. Other brands never seems to last and end up drying out my skin. Since I don't like dipping my fingers into the jar time and time again, I prefer their stick version.

It says it's for cold sores, but I have never used it for that. It is the best I have ever used for chapped lips!

I have been cold sore and chapped lip prone my whole life. My mom and dad have always used Carmex, so naturally I use it too. It's the only over the counter product that gets rid of my cold sores and it does it fast. I love the cooling effect, but I just wish it didn't taste so bad!

This is by far the best lip balm I have EVER used in my life! :)

This product smells and tastes medicinal. It feels wonderful and really soothes your lips. I don't care the little jar. I prefer a stick.

I buy several of these every year and put them in every drawer in the house...put one in my car, one in my desk at work and one in my purse. I don't want to be without it. It is the only thing that works on my winter-time chapped lips.

I don't like this, but my daughter won't use anything else. It feels greasy on my lips, and doesn't help my cold sores at all. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is that my daughter likes it, so it must have some redeeming value for some people.

I'm surprised how much I love this product. I got it at a great price, which was really the reason I bought it. However, I am very impressed and will definitely buy it again. The salicylic acid does a great job of gently exfoliating, and the touch of menthol is so cooling and refreshing to my lips. I love it!

This is a great product, and I have been using it for years. HOWEVER, I would agree that the salicylic acid is a weird ingredient in a lip balm, and probably is what causes it to be "addictive." I would recommend Rosebud's Menthol Salve; it is slightly more expensive, but lasts longer (not as addictive!) and better for your lips in the long run.

I've been using this stuff for over 20 years. There's nothing on the market that works this good. If you slather some on at night, you'll wake up with very soft lips. Although I don't mind the flavor, it would be great if they could come up with something else too. LOVE it!
