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 bought it for my mom because she loves it!

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+

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.

I love this product! My mother used to always have it when I was really young..and for some reason it just popped into my head when i was ordering some stuff online...I am so glad i thought of it! it goes on nice its soothing it feels good and its not thick like some chapsticks can be..you don't feel like you have to press your lips together every 5 sec, you put it on and it just stays in place and feels good for hours! Love Love Love it!

I'll admit it, I'm a product snob. I tend to gravitate toward higher-priced items, so the fact that good old Carmex worked better than most other balms has been a surprise. It lasts as well or better than others I've tried, including Burt's Bees; while it has a similar menthol smell and taste, I don't find it to be quite as overwhelming as Burt's. I do not like the Carmex in the tube, with its runny consistency and greasy feel. This formula is nearly matte and works quite well.

This staple can't be beat for making my lips feel soft and comfortable. Most balms feel waxy and not moisturizing enough and i have tried dozens of them. This is part of my daily ritual. Only con is that there is no SPF in it so I primarily use it at home/bedtime.
