"So impressive. Why did you guys do this? It's going to be on my [...] almost S tier. Compared to that one, this one feels more like a just like normal cleansing balm. But whenever you roll this, it feels like a sherbet. So soft. So if you guys are dry mature skin and sensitive skin, you don't have to do anything. If you just [...] roll it, the texture feels so good. [...] I'm not a huge fan of this packaging, but pretty good, pretty good one."
✓Yay
"The House of Hur Purifying Cleansing Balm [...] takes things just that little step further. It still has that sherbet to oil to milk kind of texture, but also includes cranberry powder which melts down as you massage offering a really really gentle daily exfoliation which you can use alongside other exfoliants. You've got fruit extracts like strawberry, cherry, and sea buckthorn which are very antioxidant rich and help regulate oil production and help brighten the complexion too."

"House of Hur's Purifying Cleansing Balm isn't a massively amazing brand new concept or anything particularly innovative, but it just leaves my skin feeling so nicely moisturized. I love the combination of a very good cleansing balm in that grind-style packaging. It's just a really nice formulation that keeps me going back to using it more and more."
✓Yay
"They say it's made with all kinds of fruit ingredients, [...] it doesn't really have a lot of a smell, and it emulsifies beautifully, no struggle at all. [...] It does have a little bit of a heavier feel overall. I think this is going to be a hit, I think a lot of people are going to love this method of dispensing a cleansing balm, and this is the kind of innovation I look for in new releases. [...] I really like this brand."
✓Yay
"Their original Purifying Cleansing Balm is made for all skin types, no matter what your situation is, and has some beautiful ingredients, fruity ingredients, cranberry powder, wild strawberry and cherry fruit. So this is a great go to. What I love about their balms, especially the packaging, is it has this like grind to it. So you grind up just the amount you need. That way you're just using what you need. It's a really great way to control how much you're using."

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.
