Q: Does this count as a face wash or just a make up remover
submitted by Abodav - 6 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 - 6 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 - 3 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.

Q: Hi! Does this item leave your eyes cloudy/blurry? I’ve had issues with other cleansing balms. Thanks!
submitted by CG - 1 year ago
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 - 5 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.

I first received a mini of the elf make up remover and was immediately impressed. When I decided to sign up and get a whole haul of items this one went write on top of the list. Stubborn eye makeup, shimmer lotion, highlighter, bronzer - nothing stands a chance against this gentle yet effective cleanser. I bought both the regular size and a mini to tote along on travel! It takes seconds and does not leave you feeling stripped and dry! A definite addition to my future cleansing gear.

I bought this product for the reviews it had glorifying how good it cleaned your face while also having ingredients that helped with acne prone skin. Since I bought it I haven’t seen more acne on my face (which it always happened after wearing makeup ) and it did in fact clean my face very good! If you love wearing makeup and also have acne prone skin I definitely recommend it!

My skin has been extra sensitive while going through peri-menopause. The minute I put this on my forehead felt like it was on fire. I rinsed it off immediately and still feel the tingle. If your skin is sensitive, I do not recommend.

I’ve always used Neutrogena face balm. I’m forever an elf face balm girlie now. This doubles as a face wash. However I always double cleanse to remove makeup and buildup in my pores.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this. It’s my least favorite of the line because it does leave a residue behind on my skin and I have to go back and double cleanse. It doesn’t have an unpleasant. The packaging is nice. I like it, but I’m not sure if I will re-purchase it when I’m done with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear a good amount of makeup daily and my least favorite part is taking it off. Especially my eyes. This melting balm makes it so much easier and faster to get it all off. My only complaint is that my eyes get super blurry. It doesnt burn though, so thats a plus.
Nice makeup remover!
