Removed makeup well but left residue
I really wanted to love this cleansing balm because I usually enjoy Cerave products, but this one wasn’t for me. It did remove my makeup pretty well, but the texture felt a little too greasy and left a residue on my skin that I didn’t love. I also found myself needing a second cleanser after to feel fully clean. Wasn’t terrible but didn’t stand out to me compared to others. I do appreciate it being fragrance free and gentle for sensitive skin.

Great makeup remover for sensitive skin
I love this makeup remover it cleans everything off within minutes, and it doesn’t strip away my face. I like bringing it with me to my theater shows and dress rehearsals, they quick and easy to use.

Amount of product is too little for the price. Many other products do the same job for cheaper.

If you're a man who takes care of the skin by it.
This is a product you cannot judge simply based on its packaging. This is phenomenal as a first step in my skincare routine, in my specific situation makeup has absolutely nothing to do with it. It is incredibly simplistic yet incredibly effective and I will never not use this product again. Simply sensational!

Not good
Don’t like it. It’s so thick and hard to remove with just water and even face wash.

Melts away everything
This cleansing bulb has saved me through so many photo shoots when it’s time to remove my makeup for the day it helps me takeoff my eyelashes foundation and it’s gentle enough to use around my eye area once I rinse it off it’s like I never had a full face on for the photo shoot. Seriously a great product if you’re even into FX makeup, it helps me melt it off.

It took me several times, like 3 times for my makeup to fully come off. It didn’t irritate my skin though.

Really good
This is a solid, dermatologist developed option for anyone who wants an effective but gentle makeup remover. It doesn't sting my eyes, and a little bit goes a long way. It’s a "holy grail" for keeping skin hydrated even during deep cleaning.

The top came cracked but still usable!

Hello Kaisy! We are very sorry to hear that your Hydrating Makeup Cleansing Balm arrived with a damaged lid, as intact packaging is essential for protecting the formula's plant-based jojoba oil and three essential ceramides. Since the product was purchased through Target, we recommend reaching out to their customer service team or visiting your local store to request a replacement for the damaged unit. A secure seal is important to prevent the balm from drying out and to maintain its smooth, effective texture. When you receive your new jar, we suggest applying the balm to dry skin and massaging it in thoroughly before rinsing with lukewarm water to ensure a gentle yet complete removal of makeup and impurities while keeping your skin barrier hydrated.
