This cleansing balm is a makeup wearers dream. Even the most set makeup is removed within two passes. I have to remember to massage into my lashes, however that is a user error and not the product. Most cleansing balms leave behind a greasy layer that needs a different second wash to remove, this balm if anything leaves the skin a tad striped and dry feeling, but excessively clean, nothing a good moisturizer after the cleanser can’t fix. I love the mild green tea scent and the velvety, buttery smooth texture. This will easily be the product I reach for to remove my toughest makeup looks! Next Halloween will be a breeze ;)
