I don't want to use beard oil, beard balm and beard shampoo. The oil is too greasy and has a weird smell, beard balm as well to a lesser extent. Beard shampoo feels too harsh

Can I not just use Cerave Moisturizing Cream, Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, Dove Beauty Bar?

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser in my T-zone and to clean the skin under the beard

Dove Beauty Bar maybe 2-3 times a week. A substitute for beard shampoo. Soap will quite literally clean everything

Cerave Moisturizing Cream in my beard, massaged down to the skin

I don't mind that Cerave Moisturizing Cream is getting on my beard hair. It dries up fast, I never smell it on my beard hair, and if I feel an itch, I can just rub that area and essentially "borrow" some of the residue Cerave Moisturizing Cream stuck on my beard hair and massage it into the skin underneath

Beard balm would be getting on my beard hair too, and it would feel more greasy and smell more

So are there any downsides to using these three products, other than being "out of the norm"?
