First Impression & Experience: ★★★★☆
 |
| Turns into oil once it touches your palms/ in contact with warmth, then rub it on your face |
 |
| Apply on dry face, then it'll turn into oil form |
 |
| Emulsification: Add a little water, then continue to rub gently, it'll become milky Washed off: Leaves no residue, no greasy feeling |
It has an aromatic scent, that's similar to those 5-stars hotel's toilet's parfum.
First, scoop a 50 cents (Malaysian ringgit, MYR) size with the spatula given, put on my palms, it'll melt into oil form. After rubbing circular motion onto the face, I added some water to emulsify it & it became milk form. After a while, I wash it away & proceed to my 2nd cleanse - my daily cleanser.
However, it dries up my lips after 2 uses (after few minutes of washing the balm & not washing away with cleanser). As for my face, it does its job as a cleansing balm quite well.
Pros:
- Convenient flipping lid instead of turning cap
- Has a space for spatula in the packaging
- Very moisturising & non-drying
- Convenient to carry around (especially for travel)
- Reduce the waste of cotton pads/rounds
- Relaxing feeling when using because of its aroma - essential oil (also a CON to some people)
Cons:
- Requires more amount to work it up, if not will have tugging motion
- Has fragrance & a lot of essential oil ❗sensitive skin people out there please take note❗
Final
Thoughts & Conclusion:
As written on the packaging, the cleansing balm has their natural aroma (made up with many fruits & flowers essential oil) to give the user a relaxing feeling, like they're in a spa, while doing their first cleanse. It's indeed very relaxing, however it may irritate sensitive skin people, even though it's written there as DERMATOLIGIST TESTED & SKIN IRRITATION TESTED ❗Please take note if you have sensitive skin as these labels doesn't mean or prove anything better than you knowing your own skin❗
Its fragrance is lighter than Banila Co.'s and somehow very relaxing, even though its essential oil amount on the list is way much more than Banila Co.'s. (check out my blog post here). My skin's doing fine with all the essential oils because it's just a cleansing product that doesn't have to stay on face for long.
The texture is not as buttery smooth as Banila Co.'s cleansing balm & need to work harder to glide on the face. Sometimes I would take more of the product just to prevent the excessive tugging motion on my face whenever I do my first cleanse.
The flip open packaging is very convenient especially after putting the balm onto palms before warming on palms & massage onto face. Turning cap is always very troublesome & will be very messy when your palms are very oily with cleansing balm.
For my dried lips after a few uses, the problem is no longer there after I put extra moisturisation on my lips during my bed time. After that few times, I don't apply it on my lips anymore as I don't usually put makeup, only some eyebrows product & sunscreen. The balm is easy to be washed away, as it's balm > oil (warmth of your palms/after rubbing in, doesn't feel heavy at all) > milk (after get in contact with water. It'll be quite messy at first so don't put too much water). It leaves no greasy feeling afterwards & you only need to continue your skincare routine afterwards with a cleanser that you usually use.
Overall, it's an effective cleansing balm that's not overly heavy & does it job well as a first cleanse, without breaking me out.
Repurchase? ★★☆☆☆
