Living in Seattle, my skin gets dry, so having moisturizers on hand is a must. Recently, I had the opportunity to try Carmex's new line of hand and body moisturizers, and was excited to test them against the cold Seattle weather. I received both Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream.
Carmex's Healing Lotion is a great whole-body after-shower solution, while the Healing Cream works best tackling really dry areas like elbows and knees. Both the formulas absorb easily into skin and are not sticky or greasy. The feel of the cream is super rich, containing 9 healing ingredients to help soften and moisturize rough skin. The Aloe and Vitamin E containing lotion is also non-greasy and feels light enough to use all over. They both feel like they are high quality formulas.
While I like how the moisturizers perform, I am not a fan of their scents. They smell like a mix of licorice and menthol, with a hint of vanilla. I have sort of a sensitive sense of smell so this may not bother some people. I would rather use the heavier cream in small doses, versus the lotion, because the scent is just too strong.
In terms of the product packaging, it's simple and bright. No frills. The cream and lotion come in easy-to-squeeze tubes. All in all, I would recommend the products for their moisturizing abilities, but not for their scent.
Carmex Healing products retail for $5.99 and are available at they can be found at Walgreens stores, walgreens.com and drugstore.com.
