Best make up remover balm

Yes, I recommend this

My go-to make up remover. Only need a pea size and it removes all make up with minimal effort but leaves my face feeling clean and soft afterwards. Very gentle on the face!

Holy grail product

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I've tried so many cleansing balms and this is by far the best! Easily takes off all make-up and rinses off easily with water without leaving residue (although I would still recommend following up with a foamy cleanser). It is the only cleansing balm that does not sting my eyes. I will not use anything else!

I have used this for a long time, I love it. It removes all make up including mascara. And my face feels so clean and soft afterwards. I usually buy the large size but this is perfect size for holidays.

This has become my staple in my cleansing routine - i used to just cleanse once by micellar water but noticed how much better my skin is by using this balm to take off all my makeup - it literally melts off all my foundation and mascara!!

I have spent years trying to find a cleanser that Doesn't dry out or aggravate my skin which is prone to redness and eczema, I've even tried every Clinique face wash until I came across this, this is amazing, the redness is going no irritation and cleans so well and moisturises. Would highly recommend

Best Cleanser I've Used!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I often get exzcema and quite sensitive skin, but this cleanser is nothing short of amazing. The balm does not react with my eyes or skin and leaves my face feeling super soft, clean and moisturised. It feels like a reset whenever I use it. If you tend to react to cleansers, you definitely need to try this one out.
