What the gurus are saying

This balm melts beautifully into skin and rinses without stinging the eyes. It handles most makeup well, including cream eyeshadow and many gel eyeliners, though it may struggle with the most stubborn formulas. The fragrance is light by Western standards (a fresh pear and floral blend) so those sensitive to scent may want to patch-test first.

"I'm using the cleansing balm from Pyunkang Yul. It's a really nice product. Melts in beautifully. [...] We take the cleansing balm on our dry, dirty face and we start massaging it. Then you add a little bit of water. Massage it a little more so that the whole product gets emulsified. And then you're going to wash it off."

"It has a moderate fragrance by Korean standards which is pretty light by western standards. It smells sort of like a fresh fruity kind of pear smell with a bit of floral as well. It rinses cleanly and on me I found that it had no eye sting. With makeup removal, I found that it was good for most things, including cream eyeshadow and one of my gel eyeliners, but it did struggle a bit with my other gel eyeliner. So I think this would work well for everything except for most stubborn makeup."

What the evidence says.

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

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
