Amazing smell, melts away makeup.

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this cleansing balm! It melts beautifully into my skin and removes makeup so easily. My skin feels really soft and nourished afterwards and OMG, the smell is amazing! šŸ˜ I actually look forward to using it in the evening. A little goes a long way too. Definitely one I’ll keep using.

Luxury cleansing balm at an affordable price

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I love using a cleansing balm but my favourite just got too expensive to keep using. I tried a few alternatives including the previous ā€˜Formula’ product but this one is brilliant. The smell isn’t quite as gorgeous as my more expensive favourite but the texture and effectiveness are very similar. The balm melts into the skin and cleanses thoroughly. I remove it with a hot cloth/flannel and it leaves my skin soft, clean and not tight (like so many other cleansers). All round it is an excellent buy.

excellent cleansing balm

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this to use a cleansing balm as it had similar ingredients to the Elemis cleansing balm. I have found it to be more oily than the elemis brand but it cleanses the same using a soft face cloth to remove. I have normal to dry skin and i am happy with the results.

Fabulous my skin is super cleansed

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this alongside the toner. What a pair! As it’s a large tub I have been using a wooden spatula to dispense the amount needed and keep the pot fresh. A little Goes a long way! Warm up on finger tips and so easy to apply. The scent is soothing too. This is so effective and literally melts through makeup and general dirt the skin gathers during the day!

Works wonders

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this. The packaging look like its a quality product, and it is. Once you remove the lid the smell is amazing. Really good consistency and so easy to use. Removed makeup and daily grime easily leaving my skin feeling clean and moisturised. You can even recycle the pot as the inner tub is removable.

Melts away makeup while keeping skin hydrated

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nourishing Cleansing Balm with Sweet Almond Oil and it has quickly become a staple in my double-cleansing routine.Texture: It has a rich, smooth texture that melts beautifully into an oil when massaged onto dry skin.Performance: It breaks down stubborn waterproof mascara, heavy foundation, and daily SPF effortlessly without aggressive scrubbing.Rinse off: It emulsifies nicely with warm water and rinses away relatively clean, though I always follow up with a gentle water-based cleanser.Skin Feel: The sweet almond oil leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, nourished, and plump rather than stripped or tight.Highly recommend if you have dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin and need a gentle but effective first cleanse!

Great gentle balm cleanser

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love balm cleansers and this one didn’t disappoint! The scent is a little weird, but not unpleasant, and a little goes a long way as usual with this type of cleanser. It effortlessly removes the days grime and make up, including mascara, and I usually remove with water and a cloth but it still works great if you rinse with just water and your hands. It’s lovely and gentle on the skin, and leaves no residue either. I will absolutely look to purchase this in the future as one of my rotation of balm cleansers!

Really nice balm, not too greasy

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleansing balm was amazing. It left my skin feeling nourished and not too greasy considering it was an oil based one. I didn’t cause any type of reaction and hardly looks like I’ve used any so far. I think this will last quite a while.

M&S stepping up to the skincare game!

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] M&s are stepping up! Another really good skin care product. Reminds me of other expensive brands. The product is easy to use, I rub a small nut size in the palms of my hands to release all the oils, then press it into my face, then rub all areas for 5 seconds in circles. I love the soils to liquid consistency. It sit really well on skin and very conformable. It also has some beautiful ingredients my favourite is shea butter. Once rinsed it doesn't leave any film or residue I like to use it with a wet cloth. But my favourite thing is the smell it's gorgeous!

Good Cleansing Balm

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good cleansing balm to remove makeup. You only need a small amount and it removes even mascara and lipstick with no issues. It feels a bit thicker than I usually like a cleansing balm but it emulsifies easily and washes off with no issues and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. I did need a second cleanse though as I have oily skin and there is still a residue. It says it helps clears pores but I didn't see this benefit. It dose have perfume in it which I didn't like, the scent is fine and not too overpowering and didn't cause irritation but I prefer facial products unscented. It is cruelty free which is excellent.

Easy to remove makeup šŸ’„

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. It is as good as other branded products. It has a very pleasant fragrance and a nice texture. You need a small amount to take the make-up off, including mascara, which I always had problems removing it). My face it is mainly dry, but after using this cleaning balm, my skin feels hydrated and radiant. I have used it like every other day for the past 3 weeks. I would definitely recommend this product!

My skin felt clean and refreshed after, soft and smooth, although eye make up didn’t come off with complete ease! Not a problem just took a bit more effort!

Great cleansing balm

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Formula range was new to me and I couldn't wait to try it. The balm comes in a large 125g pot so will last for ages. The scent of the product is amazing. It contains sweet almond oil and shea butter and makes my skin feel and look so soft. It is easy to apply, just put some product on dry skin, add some water and make up and dirt on your skin wipes away. My skin felt so soft after use, and has a lovely glow. No residue was left behind.
