I've used this product in both stick and jar form. My lips were so dry they felt like turtle shells, stinging badly. Even prescription ointments from the doctor didn't help much. I fell in love with the stick's hydration, so I bought the jar version too. The moisturizing power is undeniable. It completely smooths out dead skin cells on the lips. It's colorless and feels a bit thick at first, but melts and absorbs well. There's a slight stickiness initially, but it disappears over time. The texture is similar to Vaseline, but the feel and tackiness are completely different. Carmex is less sticky on the lips, better for daily use. Hydration-wise, they're neck and neck. The scent is divisive. I was put off at first too. Charitably, it's a cool mint fragrance. More commonly, it's described as medicinal. It's refreshing and cooling with each application. The stick is more convenient to use. The jar is a bit of a hassle as you need to apply it with your fingers. Highly recommended for those with flaky, dry, or wrinkled lips. I'm disappointed by the ingredients list given its hydrating power, so I'm deducting a star. I have sensitive skin and used this when my lips were in bad shape, luckily it didn't cause any adverse reactions and provided good moisture. The cooling sensation can be quite intense. It feels refreshingly cool after brushing your teeth, but it's quite strong. Only recommended for those who enjoy this sensation. Being colorless, it can sometimes make your lips look sickly. Also, be careful when eating or drinking after application, as it can leave a white residue around your mouth. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinFeb 12, 2020
Excellent for removing dead skin cells. Great value for money. Despite its firm texture, even a small amount effectively smooths out rough patches. The strong menthol scent makes it quite intense. While it helps with extreme dryness, it can be irritating on cracked lips. Use once or twice when severely dry, but switch to a gentler lip balm for daily use. Only use when you have excessive dead skin! Avoid applying on wounded or peeling lips. It can be extremely irritating. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinSep 8, 2019
The hydration is great and it's pretty nice overall. The amount seems just right too. There's a slight burning sensation. Also, when I apply this, my lips keep swelling up and feeling irritated. If you don't like the burning feeling or have sensitive skin, I'd advise against using this
