Alpha-H Essential Cleansing Balm

This is the first balm type cleanser I have tried and I am incredibly impressed with it! It is recommended for normal, dry and mature skin types, although I have combination skin I found this did not break me out, it left my skin amazingly clean and moisturised (not tight and squeaky or with any leftover residue although I do use a face cloth to remove it), it is a delight to massage into my skin in the mornings (the scent is divine) and it eats the makeup off my face in the evenings. The packaging is also a delight. I hadn’t seen a cleanser in this kind of pump before only lotions and creams, but it dispenses the perfect amount, and is great for travelling without any leaks in my beauty bag.
I will definitely be repurchasing and throughly enjoy this cleanser!!

I love using cleansing oils and balms as I find they remove all my eye makeup, unlike wipes and micellar water. I like using only one product for removing all my makeup.
Unfortunately, this balm did not remove my mascara. Despite massaging it in well and using a muslin cloth, I had mascara smudges under my eyes and when I ran a cotton bud on my lashline, it had mascara residue on it.
It was a lovely balm though, very gentle and applied easily. It emulsified with some water and washed off my face well with or without a cloth. There was no oily residue and my skin didn't feel stripped.
I would use this on my no makeup days when I only have sunscreen on.

I haven't used any Alpha-H products before, so this product was my first experience. I really enjoy using it, it smells beautiful, removes all make-up and is easy to rinse off skin. I am converted to this balm specifically because it doesn't leave an oily residue like others I have used in the past. I have dehydrated skin, and my skin feels hydrated and clean after use. Works really nicely with a muslin cloth.
