i have never really used a cleansing blam before so I can't really compare it to other balms out there, but this one is soooo good! it doesn't sting my eyes and left my skin feeling very moisturised and smooth even after double cleansing.i was a little worried because of the scent at first as i Have sensitive skin (eczema on my face pffft) but this does not irritate my skin. overall will definately repurchase!
