I had a full face of makeup on with setting spray and this balm did a great job breaking everything down. like with most cleansing balms, i did have to double cleanse for my skin to actually feel clean since this leaves behind an oily residue. however, I noticed that after rinsing my face my skin felt hydrated. usually when I double cleanse my skin feels a little bit tight and dry afterwards, but i noticed the difference compared to other cleansing balms. overall this gets the job done and it'd a good value for the money. ...Reliable Cleansing Balm...I absolutely love oil cleansing and cleansing balms, which I discovered through Korean skincare years ago.
