Not sure

P

it removed my make up flawlessly, it melts into my skin but it breaks me out as well. If you aren't prone to acne, may be this will work well for you.
  1. Not a fan...

    SusanMarina

    I received a full-size GWP of this cleansing balm and I must be one of the very few who doesn't care for it. While effective at removing makeup, it has odd, plasticky texture.
  2. Girls best friend!

    K

    This has been game changing for my sensitive skin. This is now a staple in my skin care routine.
  3. Good

    Hannah

    Just a great cleaning balm. Takes off the makeups even the stubborn ones, gentle on the whole face and easy to apply/use. Washes off great as well. Is a good solid first step cleanser.
  4. Hydrating

    E

    Best cleanser for makeup, slides right off, even waterproof makeup
  5. Great make up remover

    Kathy

    I love how gentle it’s on skin and tough on make up
  6. LOVE

    Erica

    Best thing for taking makeup off! So soothing and not drying for skin
  7. Amazing

    Jasmin

    This balm is buttery and melts make up off extremely easily, along with leaving my skin feeling soft. I was struggling to find a cleanser that didn't dry out my skin excessively and this product has been perfect! A small amount goes a long way and it takes ages for the tub to run out. Worth it.
  8. Love it

    Charlotte

    This is so good - completely removes makeup without stripping skin or irritating eyes. Need to reorder asap.
  9. It's.... okayish? Not worth the hype, IMO.

    Sia

    I received this as a GWP and was excited to try it as I've heard lots of rave reviews. Disclaimer, I rarely wear makeup so I can't speak to the makeup melting properties of this, so perhaps that's where it really shines.... but I just didn't feel like it did anything? I got a decent sized sample and used the whole jar to really give it a good go, but it just made my skin feel waxy more than anythi...

  10. Nice but not amazing

    HC

    This balm is really nice to use, it's soft and buttery and easy to apply. I don't find it's amazing at removing my make up and requires a fair bit of washing off. I got this as a free sample and probably wouldn't buy it again as I find an eye makeup remover and then cleanser just as effective.
  11. Fav way to remove makeup

    Kat

    Literally use this everyday to remove my makeup and doesn't clog my skin. It breaks down my makeup so easily and leaves my skin feeling soft
  12. Best make up remover

    Kristen

    My favourite makeup remover. I love how it melts into my skin. I only need a little bit and it takes everything off so gently and easily
  13. A staple in my PM routine

    DaniExfoliates

    Love how non-messy the balm formula is compared to liquid oil cleansers. I use this every PM to remove both makeup and SPF - works like a dream on both. I just massage it in with my fingers and then rinse off so there's no need for makeup pads/muslin cloth. This tub lasts a couple of months so the cost per use evens out. I did have a purge period when I first transitioned from makeup wipes but it ...

  14. Really enjoyed the feel

    K

    So smooth to apply. Good for sensitive skin.
  15. Works well

    Bree

    Received a decent sample of this. It works well as the first stage of a double cleanse. I think I would rebuy although I prefer to use miceller water.
  16. Magic cream

    Emjay

    Beautiful thick cream like butter, feels rich, beautiful and refreshing at the same time. A small amount on finger tips goes a long way. Never used anything else like it before but will continue to use it every night. Followed with toner, night serum and moisturiser. Great routine for evening either after shower or if not having a shower simple to use over basin. Now I understand the hype!

  29. A good make-up remover, but requires an extra step in your routine

    SusanMarina

    I received a GWP of this cleansing balm. It's certainly an innovative product, melting make-up, even waterproof mascara. After smoothing it over your face to melt your make-up, you need to remove the balm with cotton pads or tissues, THEN remove the residue with a warm face washer before cleansing. I wouldn't buy this product, as micellar water does a much quicker job. On the positive side, beca...

  31. Silky smooth effective balm

    Kate

    Do not dry skin after frequent use. Remove eye make up easily. Face feel clean and did not cause block pore. I have repeated purchases of this balm. It is so good.
  32. Great at removing makeup

    jaffles

    This cleansing balm does a wonderful job at removing makeup and sunscreen! It feels so therapeutic and relaxing to massage it in to my skin. I always follow it up with a foaming cleanser to get rid of the oily feeling. The main negative is the price.
  33. NOT FOR ME

    Veronica54

    I received a full 50gm size of this with GWP. I am using it but I don't feel it is the right type of cleanser for my skin. It does what it says and my skin felt clean after using it but I didn't like the "greasy feeling" it left on my skin. I don't use a lot of heavy make up. I only use primer as I don't need a full coverage on my skin of heavy foundations.
  34. Love!

    Rose

    This is the best thing ever! Especially after a long day at work this makes taking off my make-up so much easier. So glad I've discovered this product.
  35. Absolutely magical

    Nicky

    This cleanser was recommended to me in a recent make up course I did and OMG it does not disappoint. Absolutely magical on the skin. My skin is all kinds of crazy. Dry, sensitive, dull. This just melts make up away, I have no idea how this magic works. I use it when I double cleanse in the evening and just work it in before I go in the shower. Then I rinse and follow with the gentle cleaning foam ...

  36. Love this!

    Jacqueline B

    This would have to be the best cleanser I have used. It does exactly what it says it does and just melts all of the makeup away. It leaves my skin soft and does not dry it out at all. Highly recommend!
  37. The only balm I use

    Jaylees

    This is the best. The end. It removes all my make up including eyes. Honestly just melts everything away and is a really good first cleansing option.
  38. Great for first cleanse

    Rachael

    I love using this as step one of my double cleanse. Fantastic makeup remover, so gentle on the eyes! A little bit goes such a long way.
  39. Best cleansing balm

    Vie7

    This is my favorite cleansing balm. It is non scented and it glides on the skin very well. It cleans all my makeup & sunscreen, and it also rinses off easily. I have purchased this balm many times.
  40. Doesn't blow me away

    JenJ

    I have tried lots of cleansers over the years and this one isn't what I would call an amazing product. I got a small sample so didn't purchase the larger size. I find it just doesn't seem to lather up very well & not sure it is actually cleaning much! Doesn't strip skin or leave you feeling dry, just is not one I would buy in full size.
  41. Soft and gentle but does a great job

    Layla

    This is a nice soft makeup remover but it does a great job. It leaves my skin soft and feeling great
  42. The BEST make up remover!

    Jaylees

    I've been using this product for years and will continue to do so for ages! It's the best balm I've ever used. Breaks down all of my make up, even mascara. I used it with my face halo and find it doesn't strip my skin at all. It's quite pricey but the tub is huge so will last for ages!
  43. Must have!

    Tali

    I've tried a few oil/balm cleansers to remove my makeup with, but none have won me over like this one! After using, my skin feels clean but not stripped, and I really like how the product emulsifies. When using this to remove makeup, I do follow it up with my regular cleanser, but my skin is left feeling soft and hydrated.
  44. great consistency

    han

    This stuff really takes everything off! I use it as the first step in my double cleanse routine. Highly recommended.
  45. Effectively removes waterproof makeup

    SB

    Removes waterproof and long lasting makeup well. I used as part of the first step in my double cleaning routine following up with a gel cleanser. Did not have any residues and emulsified well when wet.
  46. The original and the best!

    Lucy

    Have bought many times and the tub always lasts soooo long. Best way to start your night time skincare routine with this balm that just removes everything so gently
  47. Perfectly clean

    Bonnie

    I have used many cleansing balms and cleansing oils throughout the years and this is definitely one of my favourites. I have repurchased this many times and still find it just as effective. It breaks down makeup and spf to leave my skin feeling very clean and not over-stripped.
  48. Amazing!

    lele

    This makeup balm is super effective in removing makeup - dissolves straight away! Hydrating and non-greasy formula. Highly recommend.

  51. A Stable in my Skincare Routine

    Digsy

    I have tried many different cleansing oils for my first cleanse in the evening, but somehow, even after a second cleanse, I always had residue and would inevitably break out. This balm is absolutely perfect. Having found it, I would never change to another one. Takes makeup off and leaves skin clean, not feeling super oily. I use it with a flannel from Kmart.
  52. My Favourite

    DAISY

    This product is suitable for sensitive skin and cleanses gently and cleanly. don't feel oily after using it.
  53. good cleansing balm

    vie7

    I love this cleaning balm as it is gentle on the skin, easily melt and give the skin a good clean. I have purchased two so far.
  54. Love it !!

    Sharee

    The best makeup, sunscreen remover I have found so far. It leaves my skin feeling moisturised, clean, and not stripped of oils. I received this product as a sample and it has won my heart. I can not stop talking about this great product. Will be purchasing more. The price is steep however, it's a winner.
  55. Great pre cleanser

    Karolina67

    Great simple pre cleanser. Melts makeup and other products like sunscreen away with ease
  56. Removes all my waterproof makeup too!

    Bri

    This product is absolutely amazing and it removes all my makeup including my waterproof makeup which helps my skin to not breakout!
  57. Great alternative

    Jess

    Is a nice alternative to liquid cleaners and is easy on the go, especially when you don't feel like spending a lot of time removing your makeup at the end of the day.
  58. Great

    Emily

    I love this cleaning Balm, it feels really nice to use and really helps melt all my make up off. I love that it more environment friendly compared to make up remover and cotton pads. Wish it was a bit cheaper though

  60. Excellent double cleanse step 1

    jk

    This cleansing balm is great for removing makeup and waterproof sunscreen as part of a double cleanse. I apply the product to dry skin, work in, rinse and move to second cleanser. I had a few breakouts when first using this product alone, but with a double cleanse followed by gentle cleanser or micellar water it's working perfectly now. Frangrance free is also a huge plus and the tub lasts a long ...

  62. Perfect Camping Must-Have

    Belinda

    I take this bad boy with me when I go on little adventures in the campervan. It is great for removing my makeup at the end of a day and, unlike liquid cleansers, I know it won't spill all through my makeup bag or take up much space. It's very effective and lasts for AGES!
  63. Best balm

    Mali

    I have almost finished two pack of this products love this, very easy to clean the make up even the eye make up without bothering my eyes. I usually cleans with this once and the second cleanse is with a gel cleansing or sometimes if I feel too dry I use the same product on the second wash. first apply on dry face and massage, then wet your hands and massage and then wipe it with a wet face washer...

    Michelle

    This removes all traces of makeup including my waterproof mascara. And does it with ease, I do recommend cleansing again with your favourite cleanser for an ultra clean face.

    It removes makeup but it is very pricey for what it does.
  70. Nothing gets makeup off better

    Jordi

    Only product that actually removes all traces of waterproof mascara! Definitely need to follow with another cleanser after (I like to use a gel) to remove all traces but this stuff will melt all your makeup like nothing else.

    Liv

    This product works wonders to remove all your makeup at the end of the day! I love using the double cleanse method and this product literally takes all my make up off. The consistency of the product is really good and it’s quite soft to touch. I definitely recommend this product!
  74. Amazing

    Annie

    I got a travel size of this when travelling as I forgot my normal eye makeup remover and absolutely loved how easy it melted off my waterproof mascara (which is very difficult to get off at the best of times). A little goes a long way with this.
  75. Takes off waterproof makeup with ease

    Kay

    Received this as a sample and very impressed. Takes off my waterproof eye makeup with ease and leaves my skin feeling really hydrated (but not oily).
  76. amazing!

    elaine

    I received a sample of this and couldn't believe I only just learnt about double cleansing! This is great for taking off even the most stubborn, waterproof, full glam faces. It's oily so it goes right into the pores. My skin is oily and this has never caused a breakout. You don't need too much either, it'll last a good while. Essential, will be purchasing!
  77. Best thing since sliced bread

    Jenz

    I had no expectations of this product, But my friend who is a qualified make up artist had a video using it on her facebook and I was like... well.. Ill give it a go. I use Estee Lauder double wear... so I needed something good.

  79. Great to 'take the day off' ;)

    CT

    I use this as a first step in a double cleanse at the end of the day to take off my makeup. It does such a good job (although I look a little like joker when my makeup smudges and slides around haha!) You only need a little bit of product so it lasts so long!! I think it's really great value and does exactly what it claims :)

  83. Good but expensive

    Kate

    This is my second time purchasing this product. I love the balm consistency and it does a great job at removing my make up. I am giving it 4 stars (not 5) due to the cost as I find it quite expensive.

    Super moisturising and leaves your skin feeling noursished
  87. my favourite

    Leanna

    Love this product so much as part of my double cleanse routine! it melts my makeup off so easily, especially my waterproof mascara without tugging my skin. you will most likely need to go in with another cleanser after as it is hard to get the residue off with just water, however as I double cleanse my second cleanser does this. Your face will feel so clean afterwards, definitely repurchasing!
