First Impression & Experience: ★★★★☆

My first cleansing balm. It's convenient to use as it provides a spatula & the spatula is on the transparent plastic lid that came with it. So you won't lose the spatula or dirty it before putting on your face.

The smell is so-so to me as I'm not too allergic to fragrance scent. There's a period where my skin's very dehydrated and sensitive to fragrance & no matter what I used it stings. This product has a fragrance but it still doesn't irritate my skin.

There's no tugging motion & it's not abrasive to the eyes and lips at all as it'll turn into an oil form once it touches the warmth of your palms & face. It then turns milky once you mix a bit of water on your face. Just be gentle to your skin & don't rub too hard or squeeze your face. Putting it on your face gives a warm feeling.

Pros:

• Save the space on your vanity
• Reduce the waste of cotton pads
• Travel-friendly

Cons:

• Might be too oily for some people
• The scent may be quite strong for people who are sensitive to fragrance

Final Thoughts & Conclusion:

It's a better alternative than micellar water because you can reduce the waste of cotton pads & the rubbing on the skin (which can consider daily mild exfoliation for sensitive skin people). I'd rather choose this than investing in a reusable cotton pads that I have to wash every time or every other day after I use. It's lesser maintenance cost & easy to carry around.

Repurchase? ★★★☆☆

It's worth the repurchase but I'd love to try other brands like the Heimish All Clean Balm and E Nature Moringa Cleansing Balm first. Then I'll decide which works the best.

Price vs. Value: ★★★★★
