Promising review: "I have to give this product five stars because it effortlessly removed all my makeup, even my stubborn concealer that is usually hard to get off, especially when set with powder. This balm took it off without issue. My mascara was gone, and even the glue from my lash strips melted away easily. After rinsing, I used a foam cleanser for an extra clean, so I’m not sure about claims that it leaves a film. My very sensitive skin was not irritated at all—no breakouts, just soft, smooth, clean skin. I actually think my skin felt more plump and soft after using it. Overall, a fantastic product for starting your makeup removal at the end of the day." —LeahKari

As stated by former Mytour Shopping writer Christine Forbes: "This was the first oil-based cleanser I ever tried. I'm so grateful for the sample because I was terrible at removing makeup. Thankfully, this balm melted into my skin like butter. Instead of scrubbing away with a water-based cleanser, I simply massaged this balm into my skin. Gradually, my makeup transformed into brown sludge and washed down the drain. My skin was noticeably cleaner and much less dry. Since 2018, I've repurchased this product twice because it lasts so long."
Promising review: "This has become my absolute favorite!!! I can't even begin to explain all the ways I love this product. It takes off all my makeup and leaves my skin feeling as if every bit of pollution/oil is removed, making me feel SO FRESH after use. It smells amazing; a little goes a long way (which means better value for money) and is incredibly soothing. I keep it in the fridge for an extra cooling effect. When I have breakouts, I make sure to use it at night because it feels like it exfoliates gently while also hydrating my skin. It even helps calm redness. I've bought this three times already!" —alexisg0919
