Pros
The fragrance is so lovely... it's really sweet and intense... and the scent lingers even when applied to the lips.... It's amazing, truly a life-changing lip balm... I can't get enough of it. The rotating part also spins so smoothly, it's just great. Even the unscented version has a classic fragrance that I love as well!
Cons
It's a bit sticky, but I don't mind that since I actually like that kind of texture.

Pros
It definitely seems like there is less flaky skin! The scent is also quite nice, and as a lip balm, it provides good moisture.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's because of this, but after I started applying it, my lips felt itchy and sticky...

Pros
The fragrance is very strong and pleasant. Additionally, my lips tend to get severely chapped, but the moisturizing effect is also strong, so I'm satisfied.
Cons
There is some stickiness left behind after peeling off the safety seal, leaving it slightly messy. However, I don't have any particular complaints about the product itself.

Pros
It was super gentle and had an amazingly pleasant scent. I would say it's not an exaggeration that I applied it just for the scent... The moisturizing effect was also good.
Cons
It felt sticky and the amount seemed a bit small.

Pros
The lip balm is great for my life! It has better moisturizing power and longer-lasting effects than other lip balms. When I apply it before bed, I wake up with my lips' dead skin peeled off in big chunks.
Cons
It does feel a bit sticky, but that's not really a downside..
Tip
Apply generously before bed

It melted well and was easy to apply. Otherwise, it was quite ordinary.
Cons
The smell was personally not great, and it was sticky so dust tended to cling to it.

Pros
The moisturizing power seemed to be the best. Since I like fragrant things, the subtle fragrance was also nice.
Cons
The sticky feeling was disappointing, though. Even so, it's still usable despite such considerations!

Pros
The Carmex cherry lip balm is the most versatile item among lip balms♡ It has good moisturizing power, and the sweet cherry candy scent is nice, with a hint of menthol that doesn't become overpowering. Most importantly, it has a neutral taste, so I can apply it before and after eating without any issues. Even if the moisturizing power is not the best, it still provides adequate protection. Many stick-type lip balms become hard in order to maintain their shape, which means they don't fully moisturize the lips. That's why I usually avoid stick lip balms, but I tried this one and found that the texture and moisturizing power are almost the same as the jar type. The only downside of the stick form is that it's difficult to apply a thick layer on the lips. But since I reapply lip balm frequently, I don't really need to apply a thick layer, so the stick format works well for me.
Cons
While the texture and formula are similar to the jar type, making the moisturizing power good, there is a slightly sticky feel to it. It's a bit more tacky than typical stick lip balms, but for someone like me who prioritizes moisturizing, it's not a major issue. If you prefer a smoother, less tacky feel, I'd recommend the tube-type lip balms, as they have a more seamless, non-sticky texture. The Carmex lip balms tend to accentuate lip flakiness. It's easy to manage, but for someone like me who reapplies frequently, the flakes can be really annoying, especially when eating. It's best to keep up with regular lip exfoliation. It's a shame that the product can't be pushed back down into the tube. The ability to control the amount applied would be more hygienic, but the tradeoff is that the exposed product always touches the cap when closing, requiring extra care. Interestingly, this Carmex cherry variant seems to have the most allergen-containing ingredients compared to others in the Carmex line. I personally didn't have any issues, but it's worth noting that other cherry-flavored stick balms may be a safer option if allergies are a concern.
Tip
For the jar-type Carmex, I'd recommend the stick version. The scent, taste, texture, and moisturizing power are all the same, but the stick is more convenient to carry and apply quickly without looking. The jar-type Carmex has a narrow and deep opening, so for someone like me who reapplies frequently, I find my nails getting caught in the jar each time, making it less convenient. If you use it at your bedside or desk and apply with a cotton swab, the jar type may not be an issue. For people like me who reapply often, I'd suggest getting either the tube or stick version. By the way, the lip balms shown in the photo all have flavors, but are tasteless when applied and colorless on the lips. I've shared my recommendations for those with similar preferences as mine. (Burt's Bees, for example, has decent moisturizing power but isn't enough for me in the winter - the lips still end up flaky even with frequent reapplication, so I only use it indoors during the colder months).

Pros
I applied it generously at night and slept, and in the morning, my skin was so soft and smooth! I think it was better than Vaseline. And when I applied it, it felt a bit refreshing, which I liked!
Cons
When I applied it, my lips felt sticky and gooey. And this lip balm, once you twist it up, it doesn't go back down again. So when I accidentally twisted it up, I had to push it back in with my lips (haha).
Tip
If you apply this generously at night and wipe it off with a tissue in the morning, it really brings out all the dead skin.
