An average cleansing balm that works well with removing makeup. It fogs my eyes though, and the packaging is way too big for how much product is in there.
it’s good but looking for something better, cleans and gets rid of makeup nicely and does the job
Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Smoothing Enzyme Cleansing Balm 18 ingredients
The first two ingredients are extremely comedogenic. In my opinion, Glow Recipe is another one of those brands that invests way more in their marketing than actual products. I've had nothing but bad experiences with their products.
