What the gurus are saying

The sticky label tends to peel off as the oily balm is used, which is a practical frustration worth knowing about upfront. Beyond that packaging quirk, the balm itself earns praise for being fragrance-free, effective at cleansing, and gentle on the wallet. It reads as a solid choice if you do not mind the label issue and are looking for a budget-friendly cleansing balm.

"The Garnier Cleansing Balm is really good. If you're in the market for a Cleansing Balm, that's a great option. My one complaint is that they have a sticky label on the package, and for cleansing balms or ointments, they shouldn't do that because it inevitably starts to peel off with a greasy or oilier ointment. But this is a great fragrance-free, affordable drugstore Cleansing Balm. Really loved this and would definitely repurchase it, and I like the price point."
