What the gurus are saying

This balm excels at removing makeup and sunscreen via a clever twist dispenser that portions out just the right amount onto dry skin. It works across all skin types and combines squalane, green tea, centella, and botanical oils without any synthetic fragrance. Those with acne-prone skin may want to rinse thoroughly after use, since cleansing balms can leave residue when rushed.

"Both are incredible at removing any makeup and any sunscreen. Both are fragrance-free. They're going to be gentle on the skin and they're going to remove everything pretty well. So, this is I think a great formula and I love cleansing balms whether you have acne or you don't have acne."

"This is a Cleansing Balm, and the delivery system here is genuinely clever. You twist the top, it carves off just the right amount of product, and you apply it directly to dry skin so the oils can bind to the oils on your face, whether that's sunscreen or makeup, and pull all of it off. The key ingredients are squalane, green tea extract, centella asiatica, vitamin E, and a sebum dissolving oil complex with seabuckthorn, grapeseed, and meadowfoam seed oils. There's no synthetic fragrance, it's non-comedogenic, and it's clinically tested. My one note is that if you have acne-prone skin, make sure you're rinsing this thoroughly, because cleansing balms can leave a little residue if you rush the rinse. It's priced at $29."
