Holy Grail
I loved this cleansing balm! It effectively removes my sunscreen and makeup with no intense rubbing or irritation. Oh and the way it emulsifies, couldn't be more perfect and milky. If you haven't tried this already, you're missing out.

I like this cleansing balm but it isn't my favourite. The balm doesn't melt down enough so it takes a long time to work it into my skin. I don't find that it cleanses my skin as effectively as other cleansing balms and the yellow colour almost stains my skin. There is a slight scent, definitely isn't overpowering though. I do love the packaging!
It’s just okay for me. I received in a box I subscribe to and I don’t find myself reaching for it
