"I love the Good Molecules Cleansing Balm -- for just a basic cleansing balm it rinses super clean, is super affordable, and you can get it at Target."

"I love the Good Molecules Instant Cleansing Balm for traveling because it doesn't have that extremely melty texture that some cleansing balms have, it's a little more firm. The label itself didn't travel too well, but I liked it."

"This is what I take with me when I travel. I do really like the Good Molecules Instant Cleansing Balm, it has that right consistency for traveling, it's not going to melt everywhere, it holds its shape, and I like the convenience of the travel size."

"This is one that I like almost as much as the Clinique. I'd say this would be like the less expensive dupe for the Clinique. This one's really good, but the Clinique just eeks it out for me every time because it just removes all the makeup, whereas with this one I always have a little smear of eyeliner or mascara under my eyes when I'm done."

"This cleansing balm is explosive to dirt, oil, and makeup. If you are looking for a fragrance-free version of like the Heimish All Clean Balm, this is it. This is such a lovely melty and milky formula that just makes your face look and feel amazing. This removes sunscreen, this removes makeup, this removes the dirt, the oil, and the impurities."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
