I ordered this balm on Thuresday and got it the following Tuesday two days early! I shredded the package to get it open it has a great smell I think but I'm used to the smell of Almond oil and JoJoba oil. It works like a dream I'm at a 0 gauge and am only going up to a 00 I mainly got this for maintenance. I think we all know too well the "Cheesy" smell that comes with guaging up and I know this product will work. It came highly recommended from two piercing studios in my home town. I noticed two reviews say that it felt greasy but I didn't see how I rubbed one finger in a circle in the container then rubbed my index and thumb together and then applied it to my lobes. I rubbed in a circular motion and made sure to get it in the piercing. I think those who said it was greasy used too much. A little goes a long way believe me! Make sure you use clean hands when dipping fingers into the balm or your just transferring bacteria into it which makes it pointless to use as it's to clean your ears and help the stretching process if you contaminate it you waste money. I suggest if your going to gauge up do it after a hot shower. Your all clean and your lobes are their most pliant you should never gauge up more than once a month or you will have a blow out. (Flap of skin on front or back of ear that looks like a flat tire.) Wait a minimum of one month in between gauges. This balm will also help heal blowouts over time as well just in case you need help with that! Overall great product fast shipping. I am very pleased and will be ordering again! Read more
Definitely the best product on the market for not only stretched ears, but any piercing you have. This can be used as a stretching balm if you want but it also is amazing for maintaining healthy ears after you get to desired sized. Helps with healing of any kind and is wonderful as a daily moisturizer. I use it every day and I love this brand much better than other ones I have used in the past, it’s not too greasy feeling and lasts soooo much longer. It has a screw on cap so it stays clean and keeps the product from getting anything in the container unlike others I’ve bought that come in a tin that slides open and gets dirty. You get lots of product too, lasts forever! I would reccomend this over any other 10/10 times. Read more
This is one of the best products I've ever used. I use it like deodorant. I have 00g ears and even after fully healing I get the really bad smell in my ears, but when I use this stuff the smell is instantly gone. It's GREAT for moisturization and anti-itching on top of being a deodorant. It's great for healing any chapping you might get from being out in the wind, too. Not to mention, it lasts a REALLY long time because it works so well. You need so little at a time that 2 pots of this lasted me 3 years! Thank you Guage Gear for such a great product. Read more
good Read more
My fiance used this to stretch out his ears from the smallest size up to 1". Definitely think this helped the healing process, and helped the stretching go smoother. -- I personally used aquaphor and neosporin on mine, works well too I guess Read more
I purchased this back in 2022 and only just ran out! It lasts SO long. I use it regularly, even if I’m not actively stretching my lobes. It prevents odor and discharge all while keeping your pierced skin soft and supple. This stuff is AWESOME. That’s why I bought it again. This time a 2 pack. It’ll be a while until I need it again!

Awesome stuff definitely a must for gauged ears they never felt better Read more
I’ve had my ears stretched for 10+ years and been on the same size for about 5 years. Recently I decided to stretch again, did it in the shower no problem. A couple days later my right ear was hurting, red and smelled terrible. This has never happened to me and didn’t know what to do, bought this (came quick) and used it for about a week. My right ear is completely healed and looks like nothing ever happened to it Read more
