ABOUT CARMEX HEALING LOTION & HEALING CREAM
With increased levels of lanolin, Carmex Healing Cream mimics your skin’s natural lipid layer to maximize healing, while petrolatum and allantoin soften rough skin and aid in moisturization. Perfect for everyday use, Carmex Hydrating Lotion is loaded with vitamin E and ultra-concentrated aloe vera to soothe skin and deliver serious hydration, without any greasiness.
MY THOUGHTS
Since my daughter has eczema, which gets extremely bad during quick changes in weather and in dry winter weather, I have about 10 different brands of lotion on hand at any given moment (seriously, my bathrooms are full of them!) I have tried just about every brand out there – some are useless, others are ok for a quick fix, and others are exceptional. The Carmex Healing Lotion and Healing Cream fall right in line with the ‘exceptional’ category that I would also place Carmex Lip Balm in – another staple of our household.
I had my daughter use the Healing Lotion during the day at school. The backs of her hands get extremely rough to the point of becoming scaly and burning if she doesn’t keep lotioning them throughout the day. I was pleased that Carmex Healing Lotion stayed on her hands without making them feel greasy and kept them protected all day during school. Before bed, I had her try the Healing Cream, which helps repair dry, rough skin. I thought that overnight while she wasn’t using her hands would be an ideal time to try this and let it really soak in. By the morning, her hands were as smooth as can be and weren’t itchy or burning.
The only downfall to these is that the “pleasant scent” noted on the tubes smells just like Carmex Lip Balm. This scent is one that I personally love, but I’m not sure that everyone else would like smelling it all day. It’s not a particularly strong scent, but it’s definitely still noticeable. Overall, I am more than pleased with the performance of these lotions, and I think I finally found one that truly helps my daughter’s rough patches.

Didn’t realize this was the company that made home health aids as well. Bet hubby could use these on his dry knees.
