Really Good Balm for Bald Heads
This review is for the Mountaineer Brand Step 4 Moisturize. I just recently started shaving my head completely bald. After I initially shaved I had a lot of irritation on my scalp. Looked up Balms for bald heads and this popped. Decided to give it a try. I gave my head a shave tonight to get rid of the 5 oclock shadow. Afterwards I put this stuff on. It’s very comfortable. Not overly greasy and leaves a beautiful shine on my head. It smells good too. It has cedar, peppermint, rosemary, and eucalyptus in it. Leaves a nice soothing cooling snesation on the scalp without any burn. I have pretty sensitive skin so that’s a plus! And no irritation after the shave. Really good stuff. Will have to buy the 2 pack of it now!

A world above my expectations
First of all let me pervious that I am not a reviewer of products as I generally am a quiet person that stays to myself. For this product I will absolutely make the exception so anyone who is on the fence about purchasing this or not can hopefully have some peace of mind. I am a sufferer of sensitive skin. I can’t use most products because it will cause skin breakouts so I generally stick to the same stuff. I’ve always had a short hair cut ( one guard) but with a bit of a receding hairline I decided to just bite the bullet and start shaving. I should have done my research about the proper way to do it because I almost immediately began started getting ingrown hairs due to 1. Poor technique and 2. A lot of the products out there are loaded with unnecessary chemicals. I came across this product and said what the hell. Within a couple of days my skin has cleared almost completely up and my face/ head has never felt so clean. My first thought was it wasn’t going to be much bang for my buck due to the actually size of the bottles but it takes such a small amount of product to cover my head and face (less than the surface area of a dime) it immediately became worth it. Highly recommend this product for anyone with sensitive skin or anyone prone to ingrown hairs/ acne/ increased amount of oil on skin.

Much to my dismay, nothing essentially exceptional.
While this review is being left underneath the Exfoliate product specifically, my review in particular is going to be a hollistic view of the entire line, seeing as I recently purchased all except for the Balance and Detox products from this brand. Without further ado, a few things:1. The smell. While I understand that this product is mainly marketed towards – and likely manufactured by – heterosexual white men, who for whatever reason have associated overwhelming and offputting scents with cleanliness, I find serious fault with a huge selling point of the product being “fragrance free” only to feel as though I’m having various herbs shoved into my sinuses everytime I use this product. While this product may not have any artificial fragrances derived by alcohols, the essential oil blends that seem to only be there for the aforementioned obnoxious odor just do too much. I’d say that about 90% of people that look for products that are fragrance free are investing money into a product that they envision to smell like nothing, and this does not live up to that by a long shot. I want my bald head to be in its best possible state with appropriate care. I do not want something that’s going to make me smell like I have plants growing out of my follicles. I urge you to consider that greatly as that fragrance free claim is a blatant lie, much to my – and potentially many others’ – dismay.2. The feeling. This may be something also attributed to the useless addition of those essential oils in the product that olfactorily offend, though when using these products I experience an odd and slightly scary icy-hot-like sensation on my head, and for a product I’m just getting into, trying to understand what my scalp was experiencing wasn’t very fun. As a bald person with sensitive skin – partly why I like fragrance free products – not having any adverse events, regardless of the scope, is paramount to me. The exfoliator was definitely the worst offender of this point, with the cleanser hot on its heels, and I don’t know if I’m comfortable using one product that worries me that I may lose a layer of skin based on the feeling, let alone two.Other than those two red flags, this product really doesn’t seem to be anything special. In a world where many cosmetic companies are becoming aware of natural products that cater to people much better and are adopting better practices altogether, I’m not excited in the same way as I was when I first found this line on here a few days ago. Very small packaging options aren’t good for confidence building in terms of longevity of the product, especially for products that cost $12.00 each. The consistency seems to be one of those “a little goes a long way” products, but even then there are other alternatives that accomplish the same thing with competitive prices and much bigger quantities of product per unit that make the investment much more cost effective. The moisturizer is probably the only product that sort of skates on by, but even then a tiny vial of product that applies and lasts like any other run of the mill product doesn’t do much to elicit any utility or loyalty on my end. A part of me feels like I want to be into this product because of a combination of sunk cost fallacy and unwillingness to start a quest to find the one for me all over again, but there are so many points of issue at face value that don’t shape up deeper in and competitors may actually be able to provide both what the consumer is looking for and what they pitch to garner interest.

Moisturizes for sure
Works great after a good head shave!
