Mini Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm

I can’t speak to the previous formula, but I love this stuff. It sounds like there a lot of negativity and breakouts because maybe people are treating it as a one step cleanse. The directions state to use on dry skin, and then follow up with a cleanser. This should be seen as the first step in a 2-step cleanse routine. I have sensitive skin and have no breakouts doing it this way. It melts the make-up off wonderfully. I would highly recommend.

This will grow mold!! I’ve had it for a couple months stored in a dry area and it grew black mold. Also very hard to get off your face and leaves it feeling oily.

I love this stuff. I first tried this in a Sephora Favourites pack and it is now my go-to. Mind you, I only use it on my eyes, as I don’t use much foundation, but it doesn’t dry out my skin, it removes waterproof eyeliner and mascara easily and feels so moisturizing. No excessive rubbing and pulling at my aging skin like liquid removers on cotton pads lol

Great product to clean your makeup and impurities from your face

I absolutely love this makeup removing balm! It melts away makeup so easily without having to scrub or tug at my skin. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft instead of dry or tight, which I really appreciate because my skin tends to be dry. It’s become a staple in my nighttime routine and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing it!

Definitely removes my makeup and sunscreen but after using a few nights in a row my skin got angry and irritated. Checked ingredients and it has a lot of unnecessary essential oils despite the growing evidence of how easily skin can get sensitized to these ingredients after repeated exposures.

I’ve repurchased this thrice now- as someone with sensitive skin I can’t say enough good things about it! the smell isn’t overwhelming, texture is nice and removes makeup well and isn’t drying at all. I will continue to reorder!

I’ve tried a lot of oil based cleansers and makeup removers, but a lot of them leave a residue, or require me to still use micellar water to remove the last traces of eye makeup. Some also make my eyes sting. I got this one in fragrance-free and it’s the best I’ve ever used. I should’ve gotten the value size! It is so quick and easy, I was shocked it rinsed away so cleanly and completely, didn’t leave a residue but wasn’t drying, and took off waterproof mascara without stinging my eyes. Pricey, so I save this for days when I’ve done full face makeup, but it’s one of the products I’ll splurge on because it works so well.

New formula no longer clean my makeup fully and leaves a gross thick oily residue that can’t be washed off unless I wipe my face with a towel and the towel will be all dirty. I am switching to someone else. It’s such a pity

It’s crazy how there are other reviews and pictures like mine showing that this product LITERALLY GROWS MOULD and then there are reviews saying “omg like don’t listen to the haters, this product is the best thing ever!!”. How lucky for the people that haven’t had this issue (and the paid reviews that always give 5 stars to everything) that they can say this is the best product ever and claim the rest of us are “haters”. Like no, I mean for one thing that’s a pretty weird term to use for people reviewing a product that didn’t work for them or that they had issues with, but also, I am just not going to spend my money again on a product that gets moldy within 30 days of opening it. And yes, I am super hygienic with my products, makeup and skincare, and this is the ONLY cleansing balm (or ANY product, actually) I have ever had this happen with in my 40 years of life. And if you look at other reviews with pictures (and those without), you will see I am far from the only person that has had this happen. I know that this is more “natural” than other cleansing balms, but I’d still rather spend my money on products that are less “natural” and that I can actually fully use (especially with Canadian Sephora prices). My Clinique cleansing balm hasn’t ever grown mould, and it’s not only older than this one, but it also works better! This one I felt like I had to work harder at removing my makeup than with other cleansing balms (and I’ve tried a few different brands, from drugstore to high end). Green and natural are great, if that product can still manage to be usable and useful. It shouldn’t be SO natural that it’s becoming mouldy and unusable. Perhaps they need a slight formula change, since this has happened to numerous people. Sucks to have to throw money away, especially in this economy, and I’m disabled/on LTD.
