What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this balm for its dual functionality as both cleanser and treatment mask. The consistent standout is its ability to tackle makeup, SPF, and debris completely while leaving zero residue or film. The brightening ingredients and omega oils are noted as effective for hyperpigmentation and dryness, though reviewers emphasize using it as a mask for 5-10 minutes maximizes results. The texture garners universal love: luxurious, spreadable, with enough slip for facial massage without being drippy. The tube packaging is appreciated over jars.

"It's one of the cheapest of the Allies of Skin products and it's one of my favorites. It's just a luxurious cleansing balm that makes you feel special. You put this on the skin, it melts away the day. It takes you back to like you're at a spa having a treatment. And it doesn't break the bank to achieve that. It takes away dirt, debris, multiple layers of water resistant makeup, SPF, and it does help with that touch of vitamin C. It will help just brighten at the margins. It's really great if your focus in terms of skincare is on hyperpigmentation. This will definitely help support the other serums you're using. And it's just a great product."

"Hands down the best cleansing balm you will ever ever try. I got a sample of it a couple of months ago and I eked it out as long as possible because my skin adored it. My top tip for this though is to apply it as a mask, sit down for like 5 or 10 minutes, chill, let it get to work and then continue to rinse it off as you would a cleanser. It's packed full of vitamin C, vitamin E and some great blend of amazing oils so it's going to hydrate, calm, soothe and definitely glow up your skin. So yeah, cleansing balm and a mask in one. Her skin is quite rosacea prone and this will be perfect for her."
THE PERFECT CLEANSER 2025 - Is All Over For CeraVe
"This is beautiful for people that have hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and discoloration. You use this as your cleanser and you'll get such a beautiful added benefit of that vitamin C and the other brightening ingredients in here. It hydrates, too. So, if you have a very dryness prone skin type, this could be your go-to cleanser of choice. And everything is gone with one use. This is heavy duty but really kind on the skin. And I love the fact that this is cleansing with a purpose. It's got some added ingredients in here. So, just make sure that you really work it into the skin for 60 seconds to let that vitamin C and the other brightening ingredients work for you."

WORLDS BEST SKINCARE 2024 - Skincare Awards Finale
"This is a beautiful cleansing balm with vitamin C and omegas in here, you've got calming soothing ingredients, and just look at that, it is the nicest balm consistency you will ever find. You can do a facial massage with it and it just has that right amount of slip to do an effective facial massage, and when you rinse it off it disappears without a trace, no film, nothing, it's just perfect. You get 100 ml of product, and it's currently on a 30% sale, which means you get it for £30 for 100 ml of cleansing balm. I think that's a really good price point for the quality of the formulation you've got, vitamin C and E, you've got blueberry and sea buckthorn, one of my favorite oils for hydrating, nourishing, for antioxidants, and you've got so much else in here. If you want to get the maximum value out of this product, apply it as a mask first, apply a thin layer as a mask, wait 10 minutes, let it do its thing, and then rinse it off like you would a cleanser, and that way you're getting a mask and a cleanser all in one."
Top 10 SKINCARE FAVORITES 2025 - Skincare You Have To Try
"If you're looking for a really nice cleanse but a product you can leave on as a mask for five minutes to double down on your hyperpigmentation fighting, this is it. It is very well loved, one of the best cleansing balms that I've ever used in terms of taking off the dirt, the debris, even water resistant sunscreen gone. But if you leave it on the skin for 5 minutes after you've worked it in, you definitely do see the results from the vitamin C and the other brightening ingredients in here. It's like a flash 5 minute facial for a glow up. I love this one of my favorite, favorite products, and whilst I don't use it all the time, when I do my skin definitely definitely loves it."

MUST HAVE SKINCARE 2024 - My Skincare Favourites 2024
"This is a beautifully formulated cleansing balm that gets the job done, water resistant makeup, SPF, gone like that. But you can also use this as a mask. You can cleanse the skin with your oil cleanser if you want, then put this on, or do a thin layer, rinse it off, and then put it on as a mask with a slightly thicker layer, and that mask will help alleviate hyperpigmentation because of the vitamin C, the omegas, and some of the other brightening ingredients in here. This disappears without a trace, no film, no greasiness on the skin. It's full of antioxidants and brightening ingredients. If you're just using this as a cleanser, you're selling yourself short. Use this as a cleanser and as a mask, and that way you're going to get the very best results."

"I love a balm cleanser. I just feel they're the best for breaking down makeup and I love that slippery feel but it's not drippy. The Allies of Skin Vitamin C and Omegas Cleansing Balm is so good. First of all I actually love the packaging because there's no digging fingers into jars which I really don't like. But the way that the product feels on your face, that the spread is gorgeous, it just feels so lovely and it's perfect for travel. I can just pop this in my little bag and off I go."

"It is the perfect combination of oiliness and balminess. I actually don't like using oils for a first cleanse because I just think they're runny and they're messy, but I do like the effect of an oil, so to me a balm is just easier to use and it's always my first choice. Well this sort of delivers on both. Also it comes in a tube which just fills me with such joy because I really don't like sticking fingers into jars. It's super super easy to spread, it does not sting the eyes, and anyway it's actually just a joy to use. So love love love."
