It's not so tingly as original Carmex and it really feels like a soothing lotion is on the lips.

I have not found the orange lip conditioner yet but I keep looking!!! As far as the Pomegranate, I love the scent and really cannot taste anything when I apply it so that is fine with me! I never used to use Carmex until you reviewed the Lime Twist and I started with that one! I love them all so far!

I have issues with that orange-cream flavor and scent as it reminds me of the baby aspirin I was forced to take as a child. To address the salicylic acid issue - the amount of SA in Carmex is very very minute, it is not like the percentage in an acne product. SA is an excellent anti-inflammatory and the bit in Carmex is part of its soothing and smoothing abilities. Love Carmex products except for this yucky new lip conditioner.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690876601790523674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-19394771022901020712012-11-26T23:22:19.400-08:002012-11-26T23:22:19.400-08:00I am so with you on the Orange Carmex Lip Conditio...<br />I am so with you on the Orange Carmex Lip Conditioner. I love that stuff so hard! <br />It's my new fav. Bummed about the pom one tho, because I like the cherry Carmex tube I have, and was considering the pom one, but blech! Anything that tastes like I should be dabbing it on my wrist is totally out.

I think, with that type of longevity, it truly works for a lot of us, but I'm sorry to hear it doesn't for you!

I guess everyone has to make a buck somewhere. Have you ever thought of using moisturizer on your lips? Love your blog btw, I read it daily! Also love your reviews, even if the products aren't something I'd use, I just love hearing your thoughts on things! You come across the page really well.
