Summary of reviews
The King C. Gillette Men's Soft Beard Balm is a popular choice for those looking to maintain a soft, well-conditioned beard. Guests appreciate its pleasant scent and moisturizing properties, which help reduce itchiness and dandruff. While it excels in conditioning, it may not provide the styling hold some expect from a balm. Ideal for those seeking a softer, more manageable beard with a subtle fragrance.

First thing is the scent. It smells nice, it has a musky but not over powering scent . It's definitely not a balm . If you need something to help style your beard or tame those hairs that pop up this is not going to work. What it does do is condition the beard and it does make it soft. I do feel that after it sits for a bit the scent doesn't change a bit and isn't as great as when first applied. It does make the beard soft but not really that soft. What I have been doing is using it as a mask. I'll cake the stuff on there which will absorb surprisingly great. And wash it off after about 15 minutes. If you have dry skin or sensitive skin I suggest using very little or just not use it at all. If your skin can handle it, you like the scent and it's in your price range it's a good product. Most other butters at this price range are either super strong , don't do much or leave a residue.

Thank you for your review. In case this helps, we changed the name of this product from Soft Beard Balm to Beard Softener. It can be used as a leave-in beard softener or as a deep-conditioning beard mask before rinsing in the shower. So we're glad it's working the way you want it to. Thanks again!
Leaves beard super flaky, don't waste your money

This beard balm creates tons of dandruff like flakes if left in. This product is beard butter consistency even though it says balm. I’ve used other leave in beard butters successfully to actually moisturize and reduce flakes. But this product needs to be rinsed out or it’s non stop beard dandruff all day! The ingredients are the proof this is not a great moisturizer… all the moisturizing ingredients are at the very end of the ingredient list. Don’t waste your money.

There's nothing more important to us than your safety and satisfaction, so we're truly sorry to hear about this. Be assured that extensive quality and safety testing is done to ensure this deeply conditions facial hair. It should never cause flakes, so be assured this isn't normal when using it as directed. We ask that you please discontinue using it. As this isn't something we take lightly, we'd like to make a detailed report to our team and help. Please call us at 800-445-5388.
It's actually a butter, but it's amazing

First off, like a previous review said, this is not balm. If you're looking for a butter, this one is amazing. Super moisturizing and rich, I'll apply it once and because I love how it feels, I'll apply some more. My beard feels great, the scent is not overwhelming, this was one of the best butters I've used
Smells Great!

The beard oil seems to work OK but when using this it makes my beard itchy and flakey.

Mislabeled as a Balm - this is a Butter

Read the ingredients carefully - contains NO beeswax like a Beard Balm should. This is a Beard Butter for conditioning but provides no help in styling or hold.

Wife picked this out because I’ve been complaining how rough my beard feels. The smell is great, I’ve used it in the shower as well as after and it makes it a lot softer. I wish they made more stuff with this scent

Skin irritation

I have been using this product for about 2-3 weeks and love the way it makes my beard feel and smell. Not greasy, soft beard, great smell, etc.. I have had a couple of times now where my face (cheeks around beard) became inflamed and puffy. The last time it happened I had to run to the store bathroom to wash it off as it was making me feel bad as well as the redness and puffiness. Not sure what is causing it but it is too bad because I really like the product. Guess the search continues for a good balm option.

Your safety is our top concern, so we're sorry to hear that you've experienced some redness and puffiness after using King C. Gillette Beard Balm. We have strict safety controls in place with our products and this is far from the high quality beard care experience that we expect for you, so we'd like to learn more for our Safety Team and assist you further. Give us a call at (800) 445-5388, and we'll be happy to help.

This product is ok.. a bit too pricey. Next time I’ll go directly to the store to purchase instead of ordering online.
Eye Burning

I liked how this product softened, but my eyes were constantly burning from use. I literally had tears coming out of my eyes for 2 or 3 days in a row until I realized it was this product causing the irritation. I'm required to wear a mask at work and this probably increased the irritation. I'll continue my search to find something else with little to no smell, but this balm I had to just throw away.

The perfect beard set

This set has everything you need for your beard. The products smell amazing. I particularly like the safety razor for cleaning up lines, and the clear shave gel helps me see what I'm doing during my shave. The beard balm is also a great conditioner. If you're just getting into beard care, this is a great kit with a little bit of everything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this beard balm. I grew my beard out during quarantine and started using this. Smells great and goes on clean. No residue and make my beard feel soft. Washes out with ease and is great for everyday use. A key component in my beard growth.

I bought this a few weeks ago. I was told by a coworker it could help me because my beard gets super itchy and let me just tell you it did an amazing job at stopping the itch, it smells good, and the product is not too thick like other balms I’ve tried in the past.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] King Gillette men’s soft beard balm is a great product. It does exactly what it say. It leaves my beard soft. I have a very curly beard and this balm straightens my beard. The cocoa butter, argon oil, and Shea butter will leave your beard smelling good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know what a good beard felt like until I started adding beard balm to my routine. I used the oils and tonics - but I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference (outside of making it shiny). Someone recommended this to me and holy cow - the smell is amazing and after a couple of weeks - you can noticeably tell that your beard has gotten softer when running your hands, a comb, or someone else's hands through your beard. 11/10 if I could!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beard balm is great. It keeps my beard feeling soft and clean all day, applies easily, and isn't greasy or oily feeling like other brands. I like the clean cut, finished look it gives me. Definitely recommend it.
