Q: Does this count as a face wash or just a make up remover
submitted by Abodav - 9 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 - 9 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 - 6 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.

A: It does temporarily if you don't rinse well enough, but if you rinse thoroughly or follow up with another cleanser in your routine it immediately goes away.
submitted byamandababy - 9 months agoA: Results may vary by individual, but we have not found this issue. Please always be sure to rinse well, or use a dampened cloth to remove well.

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.

Burned my face!
I was excited to try this new product I had seen on Tik Tok. I applied it and grabbed my wet face towel and wiped my face quickly because I immediately felt it stinging and burning all around my eyes and mouth. This stuff left me with slight chemical burns plus redness and sensitive skin for a couple weeks.

Worst cleanser ever
I bought this a month ago and it stripped all the moisture from my skin. As someone with dry-combination skin, and who has used similar cleansing balms in the past, I was excited to try one that is advertised as hydrating. This product did just the opposite, leaving the areas around my nose and mouth red, dry and flaky. So upset about this being a user of the makeup products from this brand.

GREAT PRODUCT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great, although it would be nice if it came in a different type of container. It works wonderfully and smells great while removing all of your stubborn makeup. Just don’t forget to be careful around your eyes and wash it off with soap!

Awesome Make-Up Remover!
I started using this about a year ago…and I haven’t even able to stop! The 2oz size is perfect for travel and the more cost-effective 3.5oz size perfect for home. I keep this in my shower and use it to effective remove makeup (for waterproof mascara, I apply twice). I love that this is easy to use and very gentle on my skin.

Leaves your skin soft and even effective on a todd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging on this product was easy to read and find information about the product on it. I tested this product on my 2 year old that got into his sister's lipstick. What better way to test a make-up remover than on a toddler that got into make-up and applied way too much. I applied a good amount and with just a dry towel was able to remove 75% of the make-up. I then applied some more remover and with a wet cloth got 98% of it off. There were still some traces of it that took a few more attempts with wet cloth to remove the rest. It did leave my hands feeling extra soft afterwards, so I imagine it did the same for his face. It has not left his face irritated or anything either.
