The drugstore brand Carmex is one of the time-honored brands in the United States, with more than 90 years of lip care experience. Carmex lip balm has been named the "Product of the Year" winner by the American professional medicine journal Pharmacy Times for three consecutive years, and was voted "the best lip balm for dry lips" by Vogue magazine. As its classic star product, Classic Lip Balm was recommended by the well-known website allure. Beauty writer Emily Belfiore recommended it in an article published on WWD. She said that Classic Lip Balm is a popular drugstore lip balm. Its medicated formula soothes and repairs dry lips, forming a protective layer over your lips to prevent moisture loss. The smooth Classic Lip Balm feels refreshed and comfortable on the skin. Classic Lip Balm contains simple ingredients, and it is mainly effective in moisturizing. Containing lanolin, cacao seed butter, camphor and menthol, it not only nourishes and moisturizes effectively, but also softens and hydrates chapped lips quickly to improve symptoms. Salicylic acid dissolves keratin and effectively repairs chapped, cracked lips. Classic Lip Balm also applies Triple Force Formula™ to help protect your lips from cold and dry weather. It is cost-effective with an affordable price. However, some users complain that it is too thick, so it is suitable for autumn and winter. It should be noticed that its lanolin may cause allergy, and its camphor may be irritating to inflamed lips. Besides, salicylic acid is strongly irritating to sensitive skin, and pregnant women should use it with caution.
