The price wasn't overly expensive, which was good. That's all.
ConsIn total, I applied it 3 times. The first time - I applied it smoothly, but my lips felt numb, so it seems there was something similar to menthol in the ingredients. I just brushed it off and moved on. The next day, the area around my lips started to feel itchy and uncomfortable. The second time - Since it was winter, I thought that was the reason and applied the lip balm smoothly again. But soon after, I felt a swelling sensation, and it was painful, like when I ate mango and got an allergic reaction. For about two days, I just applied Vaseline, and it calmed down. The third time - Since my lips had calmed down, I needed to go out, so I grabbed a portable Carmex cherry and applied it. I immediately went to wash my mouth. White, disgusting bumps of an inflammatory reaction came up around my lips. My lips looked like a frog's back. That's when I realized the Carmex cherry was the culprit, similar to an allergic reaction. I went to Hwahae and searched for reviews of the 1-star Carmex cherry, and the symptoms were 100% the same as mine - it seemed like angular cheilitis. Is this an allergy? It's serious... Looking at the ingredients, it's even more serious... I can't believe I used this!!! It's been two days since I stopped using it, but it's still not calming down, so I'm applying ointment and monitoring it.... I should have just divided some Vaseline and carried it around!!!! (I bought diphenhydramine from the pharmacy and applied it, and it calmed down a bit. But I wonder when it will heal...) + Oh, and if you take out the contents and try to put it back in, it won't go back in again^^
TipThose with frequent chapped lips and sensitive lips should definitely check the ingredients of lip balms before purchasing! While products with 4-5 star ratings may seem gentle and good, be sure to also check the 1-star reviews... Avoid products with moisturizing red lip color in shade 202, and be careful not to let your lips touch mango when eating. Also, steer clear of products with many allergy-inducing ingredients.

It applies smoothly and has decent moisturizing properties, but the cherry scent is a bit strong, so I'm not sure if it will be universally liked. Since I'm not too particular about lip balm scents, I overall found it quite satisfactory.
ConsThe cherry scent is a bit strong, and in my personal experience, my lips felt slightly irritated after applying it.
TipYou can purchase it at Olive Young during sales for around 4,000 won!!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFragrance: The fragrance has a refreshing~sweet artificial cherry scent! It's not really bad, but it's not great either, just so-so. Moisturizing: The moisturizing seemed not bad. It felt like it maintained a moist and dewy feeling without drying out quickly. Usage: There is a menthol ingredient, so it has a cooling sensation. It's not sticky and doesn't apply thickly, so it seems good for everyday use!! Since I'm addicted to lip balms, I'm not sure if it can effectively press down large flakes, but since the moisturizing isn't bad, I think it will help calm down the flakes as well.
ConsMy lips are sensitive, so when they get dry, a lot of flakes come up and they often get itchy, and when the condition is bad, they get red. Maybe because of the menthol ingredient, when my lip condition was poor, there was a slight irritation. They got red and stingy/itchy... Not recommended! It's better to apply it gradually.
TipTo prevent lip flakes, use a lip balm with good moisturizing properties often! Just applying it well can prevent large and hard flakes from forming and help manage it!! Let's all have moisturized lips!😘💋

However, I actually liked it a lot - the cherry scent wasn't overpowering, and as someone sensitive to fragrances, I found it pleasant to use.
ConsIt may have a slightly burning sensation when applied, so those with sensitive skin may not like it.

When I apply it in the evening, my lips stay soft and moisturized until the morning. It also has a nice cherry scent, which I really like. I used to not prefer products that gave a 'heating' sensation, but Carmex is actually quite nice. I think even first-time users would be able to use it without any aversion.
ConsI personally liked the 'heating' sensation, but for those who don't like it, it might be disappointing. However, the 'heating' sensation is not unpleasant, but rather a refreshing feeling.
TipIt's great to apply it in the evening when your lips are dry. If you apply it the night before an important day and go to sleep, your lips will be moisturized and free of flakiness in the morning.

ConsIt's only good while applying it. After application, it emphasizes the flaky skin on my lips too much. Forget about moisturizing, just using this makes me unconsciously start biting my lips. It seems to have menthol ingredients, which makes my lips feel irritated and slightly swollen.
