"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!"

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I absolutely love this product. I used to buy Burts Bees but didn't like the "waxy" feel of it. I have also tried Chapstick but I didn't like the feel of it. I was worried that Carmex would be sticky or not feel soothing when I put it on but I was so wro
