Q: Does this count as a face wash or just a make up remover
submitted by Abodav - 10 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 - 10 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 - 7 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.

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 - 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.

Great cleanser
I love this cleansing balm, I think it’s just as good as some of the more expensive brands.

Amazing value
Works better than expected for makeup removal and sunscreen removal/double cleansing especially compared to more expensive brands. It is also non comedogenic! This comes with a spatula in the lid so you don’t lose it. It does have a fresh scent to it, but does not bother me or irritate my skin. I purchased the travel size too since I couldn’t figure out a way to travel with an oil cleanser and decided to just use a balm. I don’t think I’d go back to the oil cleanser due to price and how much I like this product.

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.

Melts away all traces of makeup effortlessly, clea
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm is fantastic for the first step of a double cleanse. Its effectiveness in melting away stubborn makeup, including waterproof mascara and foundation, is excellent. The solid balm instantly transforms into a luxurious oil upon contact with skin, and then emulsifies easily with water, rinsing clean without leaving any residue or oily film. The ingredients feel gentle, and it has absolutely no noticeable scent, which is great. It doesn't sting my eyes, making it a reliable makeup remover. Given the generous size and its high quality, the price offers amazing value. The simple tub packaging is effective and easy to use

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.

Great option
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t usually use products like this but it is a smooth and easy way to remove makeup. It smells nice and is moisturizing for my dry skin. This is a product I will reach for in the future.

Cannot recommend enough
Genuinely love this product. So much more affordable than other makeup balms, and yet it can get off even the toughest waterproof liners I own (Nyx Epic Wear, IYKYK)

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.

Changed my life
This is literally a holy grail item for me. I got it as a free gift on my last order, and I can't express enough how amazing it is. I don't wear makeup super often, mostly just eyes and lips, but my eyelids are extra sensitive and have been prone to swelling and being sore for roughly a week after wearing eye makeup. I've tried a bunch of different cleansers, but none of them were effective enough to prevent the swelling. THIS, though, is amazing! Taking off my makeup with this + double cleansing with the holy hydration cleanser has been a game-changer for me. I can wear eyeliner multiple days in a row now!

This stuff right here!
This is the best makeup remover ever! This removes all makeup without leaving any behind. I wear layers of water proof mascara and primer and always had to use a separate makeup remover to remove the makeup. Not anymore!!

Alright to remove make up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely a good clearing balm, but also need to use face wash with it. Leaves my face kind of feeling greasy when I use it. Not a necessary step but it’s nice.
