Great Makeup Melting Balm - One of the Best in the Market!
This is the best makeup melting balm. I have tried many highend products and they are not as good. This one leaves my face feeling cleansed and smooth. I will always have one handy. I sometimes switch it up with other products just to try them out, but I always return to this one even if I havent finisihed using the other product. Hands down this is the best.

Doesn't remove waterproof makeup
This cleanser feels good on the skin, I love that peptides are incorporated, but it doesn’t remove waterproof mascara. I like to double cleanse, but with this cleanser, you will need two additional cleansers to fully remove your makeup. I really wanted to like it, but I recommend looking for something tougher that will remove waterproof makeup.

Not worth it
Took off my makeup well, including waterproof mascara. Unfortunately, I do think this product is scented in some way. I had my eyes closed while applying and of course it got into my eyes as I was removing my eye makeup. This coated my eyes so much that I could hardly see. I’ve applied jojoba oil to my lids before and it was worse than that. Plus three times after my eyes were so uncomfortable I had to shut them to allow for tears to shove some of the product out. Keep it for face makeup only but I wouldn’t use this for eye makeup. ponds is better.

burned eyes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s packaging is neat and cool, but it burns my eyes. They could have a less harsh formula. The texture is fine could have more of a give, but it’s a good price I guess.

This is perfect for sensitive, acne prone skin! I breakout easily with most products but this has not caused any! If anything my skin feels and looks so much better since I’ve incorporated this into my routine. Does not leave a cast or residue that some makeup cleansing balms do. A little goes a long way and there’s absolutely no makeup on my skin afterwards. My skin feels soft and bouncy afterwards. I hope they make a bigger bottle for this!

DO NOT USE ON YOUR EYES FOR REMOVING MASCARA/EYESHADOW. Not only was it not effective, but it made my vision cloudy/blurry for a good 1-2 minutes!! Like I was going blind. I nearly had a panic attack. Never using this again.

Easy makeup removal + added skincare is a must.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd fave from the Holy Hydration collection ! I love how soft and hydrated my skin feels after I use this to take off my makeup. It’s so buttery and melts into the makeup for easier removal. The smell is so fresh and clean too.

Makes for a smoother makeup removal process
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first makeup balm/cream I’ve used and I must say I’m impressed! It makes the makeup removal process so less messy which I love. My face also feels significantly hydrated after removing the makeup which the makeup wipes can never accomplish alone

My fave remover
I use the balm every single night. It removes makeup without drying out my skin. I use it to remove my eye makeup and then use a makeup wipe to clean off everything. I have looked for a long time for a product like this. I think it's perfect.

Great product
This product is amazing! It takes all my makeup off and makes my skin feel moisturized. The only reason its a 4 is because when i take off my wye makeup, it makes my vision blurt for like 5 minutes, and that concerns me a bit. Other than that, great product!

Makeup removing champion
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] e.l.f. Makeup Melting Balm is effectiveness in removing makeup, including stubborn products like waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation. I appreciate its creamy texture, which glides onto the skin and transforms into an oil-like consistency, making it easy to break down makeup without excessive rubbing. It has a gentle formula, which is often suitable for sensitive skin, and the fact that it doesn't leave an oily residue after rinsing. The balm typically contains nourishing ingredients like vitamin E, which can help hydrate the skin during the cleansing process.

I like to use this when I’m double cleansing. It’s great especially for washing off sunscreen.
