6 experts · Moderate agreement

  • Effective as pricier balms, much cheaper

  • Removes makeup and residue thoroughly

What they flagged

  • Small size runs out quickly
  • Bulky packaging for the amount inside

What the gurus are saying

A soft, sherbet-like texture and a twist dispenser that releases one portion at a time keep coming up. Reviewers also describe it as gentle enough for eczema-prone skin and good at lifting off eye makeup and waterproof mascara. However, some gurus went through a tub in about three weeks and wished for a jumbo size, so those who double cleanse daily may want to plan on restocking sooner.

"The other cleansing balm I love so much I'm out of it is by Remedy, around $13 on Prime Day. It's good for eczema skin, works every bit as well as the Elemis Cleansing Balm, which I've used a lot in the past, and it's better than that, for $13 versus $72 on sale for $50."

"If you're constantly dropping smooth bottles in the shower you don't have that problem with this. You can actually hold it great. [...] Little touches like that where they've clearly thought about usability and accessibility matter. They actually worked with content creators who have mobility issues to make sure the hand cream and their products are user friendly for the widest number of people in terms of accessibility."

"I've also put on order their new cleansing balm. I don't know what it's like. So, full disclosure, I don't know what it's like. I don't know if it works. I know nothing about it, but I bought it because I like the look of it. I like the look of the ingredients. And with that 25% off, I thought now is kind of the time to try it."

"It's very thorough, very, very good, and honestly, a fairly average cleansing balm that just does the job. So many people can make a cleansing balm. So many people are making a cleansing balm, but to do it good and effective sounds so basic, but it's hard to do. This has that soft sherbety texture, which I absolutely love. It doesn't leave that kind like those little small bits of plastic that some cleansing balms do and it's not just solidified oil."
✓Yay
"The one I'm using right now is Remedy. It's very gentle, takes the day off without stripping my skin."
✓Mixed
"I went through my product in about three weeks, and it's frustrating to have to buy things so often. I would love to see the brand acknowledge this and come out with at least a jumbo size for people who want to make this their go to cleansing balm. [...] Then again, maybe this is the right choice for somebody who doesn't double cleanse every day. [...] I have had some cleansers that get in my eye and sting the daylights out of my eyes, and this is not too bad."
✓Yay
"This is the Remedy Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm. I like this. It is fragrance-free. The package is interesting because you just twist and it dispenses just the right amount. It has ceramides which are good for your moisture barrier. It also contains compounds from [Centella] which are anti-inflammatory, green tea extract, another antioxidant, and compounds from curcumin. Really nice over the eyelids. Does a perfect job with the waterproof mascara if you happen to be using that."

"The Remedy Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm [...] is a fragrance-free cleansing balm with this twisty packaging that dispenses the perfect amount of product so you don't end up wasting it. This worked really well for removing eye makeup and cosmetic residue. I completely finished it and I really liked this a lot. You can now get these at Target."

"And the product comes up. It dispenses exactly what you need for one use at a time. So you don't scoop out a big glob and then you're like, 'Oh my gosh, I got way too much.' They always feel the need to give you those little spatulas and I always feel like I've got to use them and then they just get on my nerves. So I really liked this quite a bit. [...] The cleansing balm is really good. I mean, if you're in the market for a cleansing balm, that's a great option."

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.
