I have rosacea and this works very well with my flare ups and acne. Doesn't dry out my skin but leaves it very clean and fresh.
One of the best cleansing balms out there. I love the buttery texture and it melts my makeup up pretty well. Also, it has no fragrance so this is good for those with sensitive skin! So far, I haven’t experience any negative side effects from this balm and I prefer using it over an oil cleanser for my double cleansing routine as it is more moisturizing!

it is pretty watery, perhaps the most watery cleansing oil i've tried. it took quite some time to get sebum out of my pores. i usually really love watery oils but this one felt like it was more water than oil
