Reviews Summary
Customers say this cleansing balm has a smooth, luxurious texture that melts effortlessly into skin and removes makeup and SPF without irritation. Many reviews mention the improved formula is easier to squeeze from the tube and lacks the grittiness of the original version. Users find it effectively removes even waterproof mascara and heavy makeup while leaving skin feeling soft, clean, and hydrated rather than tight or dry. The balm emulsifies well with water and rinses off without leaving residue. Common feedback includes its gentle nature for sensitive skin and ability to work as a single cleanse without needing a second step. Some note the product occasionally separates in the tube, requiring shaking before use.

    Luxury ritual

    I massage the balm in for a good minute before I go into the shower. The oily consistency is wonderful for removing my days make-up and dirt. Then in the shower I wet my face and wipe off the now cream with a cotton muslin cloth. My skin is left feeling clean, massaged and glowing. This really works for me.
