Carmex Healing Lotion and Cream: Review and Giveaway

Carmex, best known for their lip balms, has a new line of Skincare products on shelves this month! As a member of the Carmex Blog Squad, I received a Carmex package containing four of the following products to review from their new skincare line!

• 5.5 oz Carmex Healing Lotion (full size)
• 4 oz Carmex Healing Lotion (full size)
• 1 oz Carmex Healing Lotion (travel size)
• .75 oz Carmex Healing Cream (travel size)

For nearly 75 years people have come to love the healing power of Carmex lip balms. Finally, they have created a Skin Care as a solution to help heal, soothe and moisturize your dry skin.

The Carmex Healing Lotion I reviewed, is a non-greasy, thinly-based lotion with a light fragrance that can be used daily to keep skin smooth, soft, and protected from the elements this Winter. This lotion contains soothing Aloe to heal and soothe the skin and Vitamin E to nourish the skin and prevent damage from Free Radicals. 

The Carmex Healing Cream is a little thicker and richer, and is designed for those really rough patches of skin. For me, that’s usually my elbows and heels. The cream contains nine different healing ingredients, including salicylic acid, which is used in numerous skin care products to combat dry skin and other conditions.  Other ingredients include cocoa butter, lanolin, and comfrey root extract. This stuff works really great on my rough heels. Plus, it contains menthol, which really feels soothing on tired, achy feet.

Where to buy: 

Suggested retail price for Carmex’s new Healing Lotion and Cream is $5.99 while the travel sized tubes retail for around $.99 each.

This new skin care line from Carmex can be found at:

• Walgreens
• CVS Stores
