"It works fine, I mean as expected. There's a lot of residue though. [...] It feels more greasy than like leaving the skin hydrated, so I wouldn't say it's my favorite cleansing balm. [...] From an ingredient standpoint it works well, but it separates a little bit. [...] If you just bought a bottle off the shelf you may want to shake it up a little bit just to kind of re-emulsify the oil with the rest of the balm."

"The Paula's Choice Omega cleansing balm is also really good. That and the Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser would make a great double cleanse pairing."

"I tried out their new Omega Cleansing Balm and loved it. Like the Inky List one, they're actually very similar in my experience as far as the outcomes of cleansing. It's very gentle, spreads on the surface of the skin smoothly. The [Paula's Choice] one does not do that separation thing. It doesn't have the oat oil in it; instead it has jojoba seed oil. It has a very short ingredient list and emulsifies easily. It just really does a good job. It's nice to spread on the surface of the skin and it's not like one of those sticky hard cleansing balms that you have to really rub in. It rinses off and gets off cosmetic residue and sunscreen very well. It is more expensive than the Inky List one, but the main difference is it doesn't have that kind of odor."
