Q: Does this count as a face wash or just a make up remover
submitted by Abodav - 11 months ago
A: You may use this as your only product to remove your makeup and then rinse off. If you prefer to double cleanse, you may follow up with cleanser.
submitted bythe elfcareteam - 11 months agoA: You don’t technically NEED to, but please use a facial cleanser after you rinse this off. Your skin will feel much better not to mention cleaner. Using just this and no face wash after will cause you to breakout I can guarantee.

Q: Around how long does this last?
submitted by Sarah - 1 year ago
A: I have used this for about 2ish years now and each container lasts me around 2-3 months even if I use it daily. You don’t need more than a pea sized amount, a little more if your makeup is super heavy.
submitted byMadison - 8 months agoA: This contains 2 OZ (56.5 g), so although results vary by user, it will last for quite awhile even with daily use.

Didn’t work for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the whole collection to test out and review. At first it seemed to work well with my skin and it was super soft. My makeup did melt off easily. After about a month my skin barrier was not working well with the products and I had to switch to something else. I recommend this for someone with more normal skin type. I have combination. I no hate to this line it just didn’t work for me.

Decent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works well in taking off makeup. It’s a balm that emulsifies when mixed with water. Makes rinsing the make up off easily. Very clear.

worth tryinggg!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been loving the e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm. The texture is super smooth—solid in the jar but melts instantly into an oil as soon as it touches my skin. It removes all my makeup, even waterproof mascara, without needing to tug or rub too much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works incredible at getting makeup off at the end of a busy day. As a mom I just don’t always have the time to wash my face so this helps get the makeup off before bed and makes me feel better
