Light yet effective
Very light yet effectively removes any traces of makeup. I like to rub it in and then use a makeup removing wipe to get everything out. It's a great product!

Good but burns
Does the job but burns the eyes so beware when you rub into your eye makeup, keep the peepers closed when washing it off

FORMULA CHANGE IS THE WORST!
I used to love this product for double cleansing. I would start with the cleansing balm and finish with a gentle gel cleanser and my skin loved it! tested and tried so many cleansing oils and balm and this was my absolute favorite. HOWEVER.... I HATE the formula change that occurred this year. I was my face TWICE with gel cleanser after using the new cleansing balm and it it still leaves residue. My pores have become clogged and I'm starting to break out. I'm so disappointed and annoyed to have to go back on the hunt for a new product.

Too sticky for me
Wanted to love it but I can't. I love the fermented camelia cleansing oil so thought I'd give this a try, but this one is too sticky and takes a lot longer to wash off. I end up using my cleaner twice after using the cleansing balm because I feel like it's not all the way off my skin.

Just okay
Melts into skin, but doesn’t emulsify easily. I found that it did not remove all makeup on first application.

Surprise Surprise!
Being that I have oily skin I was skeptical about using an oil based cleanser/balm. However following the instructions of their routine builder I got it and I’m glad I did! It makes a major difference when using at night as the first step in double cleansing. My skin appreciates every time I use this first and then follow up with the gelee.

Lifetime user
I have bought probably 5 of these tubs over the last several years because it’s that good. I recently decided I didn’t like to scoop out of the pot so I went to try 3 other cleansing balms and literally none come even close to this one! It’s by far the most superior. If you scrub a bit longer almost 100 of your nose blackheads will come out! And anyone saying there’s a film after using… you must double cleanse with a regular face wash after! Looks like I’m a lifer with this product!

Always Repurchasing
I love this balm. It works so well at gently removing my makeup while hydrating my skin. You’re supposed to follow up with a gently face wash after and that’s what I do. I personally have had no issues with this product whatsoever. It works great and I love that it has no scent.

I tried it but really didn't like it. It made my skin feel super oily and then that weird feeling of after playing with playdoh.

Fragrance free even with the name being 'ginseng'
My sports laroche-posay spf 50 is the only white cast sunscreen I use. I can't wash it off with my regular body wash. even my prequel gleanser isn't enough. this is my first balm cleanser. I like it because it does melt everything off. Fragrance free is a plus! I like how smooth it is, I don't have to tug my skin in contrast with my haruharu oil cleanser it can run once it's on my hands. You don't waste any product with this balm. I repurchased it without trying it first and that was the right decision. Queston: Where's the expiration date?

An Amazing balm!
It's the first makeup removing balm that really removes ALL my makeup, even the waterproof mascara that I use every single day. I will definitely be buying this balm from now on.

The best makeup cleanser
The best!!!! I needed something to remove makeup gently without drying my skin. This is perfection. Leave my skin so soft! Removes makeup effectively too!

Love love love <3
I was a bit weary to try this regarding the reviews but honestly, this removed my waterproof mascara like a dream. I didn’t experience any burning of the eyes or anything! This was honestly amazing and can’t wait to continue using it! For the reviews saying it’s leaving a residue on their skin, guys are we double cleansing???? If you’re going to use any oil/balm, it’s essentially a MUST to double cleanse! Anyway, no regrets, I love this!!

Truly Awful But Not a Total Waste
I hated this as a face cleanser. It doesn't remove makeup or sunscreen very well. Or even rinse off without a ton of scrubbing. It's literally the worst face cleanser I've ever purchased. However, I gave it an extra star because it actually kinda works as a hand cleanser in the winter when your hands are super chapped and you're going to put lotion on immediately. So it wasn't a total waste of money.

Works but leaves a film
This cleansing balm will get off your base makeup and sunscreen okay, will definitely make your eyes a bit blurry but does get off the makeup. My biggest gripe is that after I rinse this off I still feel a layer of balminess on my skin. I have to use a more intense second cleanse to get it off instead of my usual gentle cream cleanser.

Gentle and works great!
A lovely first step in my skincare routine. I use this first to take off makeup, then wash with the gel cleanser.
