Review title is I haven't noticed this being any better. However it is cheap and as you should ... [SEP] The beard wash has a Vick's Vapor Rub type smell same as with their beard oil. The smell doesn't last long and usually disappears by the time you're done washing it out. I've used this beard wash along with regular shampoo/conditioner and while this is gentler on facial hair than regular shampoo, I haven't noticed this being any better. However it is cheap and as you should only be washing your beard a few times a week it will last you a long time.
