"My first recommendation for a double cleanse is the Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm, it's absolutely perfect. It's an affordable balm that transforms into this silky creamy texture. It removes your makeup and SPF, rinses completely clean without leaving any residue. The nourishing oils help keep your skin balanced and comfortable. It does have a little bit of a scent, it has eucalyptus and clove leaf oils that provide that refreshing spa-like scent. The key ingredients in the original formula are the eucalyptus oil, the clove leaf oil, and the vitamin E."

Save vs Splurge: Dermatologist-Approved Skincare Picks That Are Actually Worth It

"For the save category, I love the Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm. I have used this, I've liked it. It doesn't give me that spa feeling, but for the price it does a really good job. It's only $18 for a 67 ml jar, which is about 27 cents per ml, a huge price difference. It's a really affordable balm that transforms into this silky oil texture. It removes all your makeup, all your SPF, all the junk from your face. It rinses really clean, it doesn't leave any residue. It may be a little bit more irritating to the eyes, or maybe that's just my eyes because they're sensitive, [...] I have ocular rosacea, so you kind of have to try it for yourself. But it still has those nourishing oils to help keep the skin balanced and comfortable. It also has a little bit of eucalyptus and clove leaf oils that provide a refreshing, almost spa-like scent. The key ingredients here are the eucalyptus oil, clove leaf oil, vitamin E, and avocado oil. [...] It doesn't quite have the same luxurious feeling or depth of fragrance, but it still does the job. It cleans thoroughly, it's a gentle cleanse, and it's a fraction of the cost. It's perfect if you want a cleanse and bump but you don't want to spend a lot of money."

"Speaking of cleansing oils, that did not go well for me and I suffered through to the end. Don't buy this. Whatever you do, don't buy it, unless you like putting Vicks VapoRub in your eye. Do not buy the Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm, vitamin E and eucalyptus. Do we have a head cold? I think not. This was misery to use. [...] It's pretty hard to actually screw up the functionality of a cleansing oil or cleansing balm, but [...] you can really ruin it from an experiential part of things."

Trying New Skincare While Traveling | Travel Vlog

"I brought the Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm. It has a very soft texture, glides over the skin easily, really nice, except they need to go back to the drawing board and omit that eucalyptus. I'm not trying to put Vix Vapo Rub all over my face and that's what this is like, and it made my eyes burn and sting. So way too strong on the eucalyptus there. It has eucalyptus fragrance and clove leaf oil too. Like, what, the three kings? No thank you."

"Finally finished the [...] Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm. No, absolutely not. Worst cleansing balm experience yet. Do you like Vicks VapoRub? Yeah, I do too. Do you want it in your eye? I didn't think so."

"I'm not excited about spending money on this cleansing balm at $11.99, but that could just be because I'm jaded against Versed because I haven't cared for anything that I've ever tried by Versed."

"And the very last skincare item on this list, my very last empty here, is the Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm. I actually think that this is my favorite drugstore cleansing balm. That's saying a lot. I love the texture of this. It works like a charm and it's super affordable. I haven't repurchased this yet, but I definitely will. To be honest, I have no shortage of cleansers, but I'm going to get it."

"The Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm is a nice cleansing balm, but one that both blurs my vision a little and doesn't rinse completely clean, meaning you will need a second cleanse to go with it. It smells strongly like eucalyptus, which always reminded me of the cough remedy of my youth. I liked it, but have others I love."

"The Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm still exists. This is a good cleansing balm, I originally loved it but I've become more critical of it as better and better balms have entered the market. What I like about this is that the second it touches your skin it melts your makeup right off. What I don't like is I feel like it could emulsify a bit better, it's not as bad as some cleansing balms that leave a lot of film behind, but I do feel like it leaves a little bit of a film behind. It also has essential oils, eucalyptus oil and clove oil, I like the smell of this, but this product works just fine for me, I just ultimately prefer other products."

"The Versed has a cleansing balm in a pink container. I don't love that one as much as their green balm, [...] but it certainly works. Both of these are very gentle and I think they're fragrance free."

"Versed is a brand that I haven't tried many products from but their mask exfoliator that beautiful Doctors Day visit that is something I absolutely love and the good part is that this Versed cleansing balm comes in two sizes"

"My favorite cleansing balm of 2022, which I've actually used longer than just this year, is Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm. It's way more affordable than expensive options like Elemis, and it gives you that same spa-like experience or feel on the skin. It does an absolutely incredible job removing makeup without irritating the skin, and this one is super affordable."

"If you are using a lot of foundation or heavy makeup that day I do recommend doing an oil-based cleanse first to remove all that makeup. The Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm comes as a very lightweight little jar so I like using it for travel and it is very affordable at less than $20. This one contains all sorts of antioxidants like vitamin E, jojoba oil, eucalyptus oil, avocado oil and clove leaf oil and all of that helps to keep the skin moisturized. It does have a slight refreshing scent almost like a minty smell so if you don't like that you may not want to use this product, but I like using this product. It feels really luxurious and just nice, almost like a little massage at the end of the day to remove all of my makeup before prepping my skin for the next cleanse."

"The Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm works pretty much the same as the pharmacy option, but it does have fragrance, and sometimes when I've rinsed my face off I do feel like my skin has a little bit of a residue left over from the cleansing balm itself. That's why I said to go in with that second cleanse to remove any residue that is left over from your cleansing balm. I like the pharmacy one a little bit more than the Versed, but if you want something that is more affordable and something that you can easily get at the drugstore, then the Versed is a really great option to look into."

"This is one of my favorites from the drugstore and it's also very affordable. It does a great job to remove water resistant sunscreens and waterproof makeup. You don't have to work at your skin for too long before everything is just melted right off, so it's very quick to use. All you need is about a dime size amount really to remove everything. I love using this at night as that first cleanse and then going with a cleanser after. This has vitamin E, avocado oil, eucalyptus oil, jojoba oil, and clove as well, so it does have fragrance. If you don't like that you may not like this, but I do believe this scent is very mild, it's not too strong, and it actually smells really nice when you are using it. This really is one of my favorites from the drugstore to remove my makeup and sunscreen."

"This is a cleansing balm by Versed. Basically a balm cleanser is just to remove those traces of makeup and sunscreen that you might have built up. This one has eucalyptus oil, which maybe is irritating for some, and vitamin E, which is a great antioxidant. But basically the focus of a cleansing balm is really just to get that makeup off, cleanse your skin, dissolve that sunscreen, and give your skin a thorough cleaning and remove any buildup from makeup."

"The Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm retails for $17.99 and is a great, really affordable cleansing balm that lasts many months because you only need a little bit. A little bit goes a long way at being able to remove sunscreen, makeup, and impurities. I love the fact that this cleansing balm leaves minimal greasy residue. You can even use it in the morning as your cleanser if you choose to, but I use it as the first step of my double cleansing routine. [...] My skin feels nourished, it doesn't feel stripped, but yet it's able to effectively remove everything. This contains vitamin E and lots of great plant-derived oils. It's effective and it's simple. Versed's products are devoid of synthetic fragrance, so that's another thing I really love about it. If you have more sensitive and rosacea-prone skin, this is a line that I find most of their products to be fairly suitable for."

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.
