"I actually prefer this to the CeraVe cleansing balm if you're going to go with like a drugstore brand cleansing balm because the packaging I prefer the CeraVe cleansing balm gets on my nerves"

"I decided to buy this and give it a try because y'all recommended it in a couple of videos, and it's actually really good. It does have fragrance in it, the fragrance is pretty light, and of course you're rinsing this off so it's not as though you're leaving it on the skin to cause irritation, though if you're allergic to fragrance you'd want to avoid it. This really gets the job done and it was not expensive, so if you're someone who's looking for a good drugstore cleansing balm I would highly recommend this one."
