Banila Co Clean it Zero Cleansing Balmโœจ: This is our holy grail ๐Ÿ™Œ product to remove all the makeup/sunscreen off the face at the end of the day. Its an oil free cleanser that completely removes all of your makeup (even heavy eye makeup) without stripping off your natural oils or irritating your skin/ sensitive eye area It does contain fragrance, but since itโ€™s a wash off, itโ€™s not an issue personally, but if you have a known sensitivity towards Fragrance, you could be cautious with it and patch test before using it on your face. It comes with a very practical and pretty packaging that looks gorgeous on your bathroom counter (always a plus point ๐Ÿ˜‰) and also comes with a scoop which makes it a lot more hygienic! Other attributes: itโ€™s alcohol free โ˜‘๏ธand sulphate free โ˜‘๏ธ How to use it? ๐Ÿ’—Step 1: Scoop out a small amount of the product and massage it on to your dry face (make sure your hands ๐Ÿ–๏ธ are dry as well) ๐Ÿ’›Step 2: Emulsify with a splash of water using your fingertips until all your makeup melts off ๐Ÿ’œStep 3: Rinse your face with water ๐Ÿ’ฆ Donโ€™t forget to be gentle and kind to your skin ๐Ÿฅฐ

WHAT IS IT?๐Ÿ‘€ Gentle cleansing balm that melts into an oil. Breaks down makeup, sunscreen & oils. Best suited as a makeup remover/ first cleanse. Suitable for all skin types๐Ÿฅณ PERSONAL EXPERIENCE๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Okay, so I am very picky when it comes to oil cleansers esp balms๐Ÿ˜ฉ I donโ€™t appreciate oil cleansers that: 1. Leave a film/residue on the skin 2. Dries out/strips my skin 3. Clogs my pores & causes breakouts I can confidently say this balm cleanser does non of the above๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป. Itโ€™s incredibly gentle, it smells lovely & effectively breaks down spf & makeup. I must also admit itโ€™s my first ever Korean cleansing balm & I love it๐Ÿฅณ. It didnโ€™t really sting my eyes unless I have really stubborn waterproof mascara/eyeliner on. It doesnโ€™t leave a film on my skin after rinsing which is amazing๐Ÿฅฐ. It felt really good on my skin & left my skin feeling soft, smooth & clean! It melted down well & emulsified well. A little goes a long way & Iโ€™m very happy I tried this one! Love Beauty of Joseon products & the balm cleanser did not disappoint๐Ÿ’› REPURCHASE- Yes WORTH A TRY?- Absolutely! RECOMMEND- Yes! I think everyone may enjoy this one๐Ÿฅฐ FEEL & FINISH? - White solidified oil - Scoops out like sorbet - Melts down seamlessly into a silky oil - Housed in a white screw cap container - No residue/film - Soft, clean & radiant skin FRAGRANCE? - Yes- I think I might have the older version - Soft perfumy floral scent - Not overpowering at all HOW DOES IT WORK WITH OTHER PRODUCTS? - ๐Ÿฅฐ - No residue/film after rinsing PROs๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ - Effectively breaks down makeup & spf - Non drying/stripping - No residue/film - Gentle - Skin looks radiant - Pleasant scent - Longevity (little goes a long way) - Travel friendly - Feels so silky on my skin

This is probably one of the most affordable cleansing balms out in the market! I bought the 120g and it is such a bang for your buck! It took me months to finish this. I also like how it is NOT a screw type lid that you need to twist off to get into the product. It makes it easier for me. The texture of this one feels like a sorbet and it melts into my skin into an oil. It can be chunky if you use too much. Applying this to my skin is not a drag. It glides into my skin very well. It also dissolves makeup decently. You can detect a citrus scent in this product. Personally it does not bother me. It did not sting nor cause any sensitivities to my skin even when I have breakouts. It was very easy to wash this product off. It turns into a milky color when it get in contact into water. I washes off effortlessly without leaving any oily residue. This also doesn't fog my vision when washing it away. My skin feels refreshed and clean without the stripping feeling! I love it. I love it for its performance, packaging and pricetag! Definitely a repurchase.

Ever since I discovered cleansing balm, my skincare game has changed. The way this cleansing balm removes makeup, including waterproof mascara and lipsticks, is incredible!! Not to mention, it's so gentle and non-irritating, no harsh rubbing involved. I massage this on dry skin, add a little water to completely melt makeups and impurities, then rinse off. So what's in it? - Green Tea Seed Oil and Rice Bran Oil, which are powerful ingredients in cleansing and hydrating skin at the same time. - Tea tree extract and Centella extract calm and soothe skin. - Macadamia seed oil and sunflower seed oil nourish and moisturize skin.

@numbuzin_official pore & makeup green tea + charcoal cleansing balm ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ–ค ughhh I had to wait to use this as I wanted to capture those dreamy texture shots but Iโ€™m so glad Iโ€™ve been able to dig into this balm. it has quickly become a staple in my routine especially leading up into summer here Iโ€™m reapplying my spf more frequently so my more gentle cleansers just arenโ€™t cutting it when it comes to removal and I honestly forgot why I stopped using balm cleansers! this has reminded me how much I love them! this cleansing balm does the best job of removing heavy makeup, spf and washing away impurities without leaving my skin feeling dry. i love that itโ€™s enriched with green tea-derived ingredients such as the oil, powder and extracts making it super gentle and charcoal powder and french kaolin clay to unclog my pores and remove excess sebum, leaving my skin smooth and clear. itโ€™s perfect for my acne skin. I mean just look at how effortlessly it is removed with a tissue leaving no residue behind ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคค โœจ|#ad| pr/gifted from @stylekorean for review purposes onlyโœจ

Es broma si no tengo decepciones y siempre espero algo mejor o maravilloso y nunca lo es ๐Ÿ˜’ Me gustaria que hubiera en todis los productos tamanฬƒos pequenฬƒos para saber si es para tu tipo de piel o no resultaba lo que esperabas. Yo al principio notaba irritacion en las mejillas, la cara se sentia suave e hidratada pero con irritacion, no me suele pasar en todos los productos pero en algunas ocasiones si me ocurre. Lo recomiendo para pieles secas o grasas que no sean sensibles a la fragancia de este producto, tambien para uso mas de invierno que de verano. En especifico este producto es bueno para retirar el maquillaje basico, la suciedad y para una doble limpieza con un acabado suave e hidratada en la piel.
