I absolutely love this cleansing balm! BANILA CO Clean It Zero melts makeup so easily, even waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation. The texture starts as a balm and turns into a silky oil once you massage it into the skin. It cleans deeply without drying or irritating my face, and my skin feels soft, clean, and hydrated after using it. I have sensitive skin, and this works perfectly for me—no breakouts or redness. I also love that it doesn’t leave a greasy residue and rinses off completely. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts quite a while. This is now a must-have in my skincare routine, especially for removing full makeup at the end of the day. Read more

I love this product. Goes on like a heavy duty balm and I generally let it soak in for a minute or two because it smells and feels so nice. Rinses off and leaves no residue but removes all my makeup and leaves my skin clean and soft. There are several varieties and I like them all. Read more

Banila Co was known for their cleansing balm since it came out in 2006 and they're still staples on the market. Although there is much more competition, they still remain a popular choice and I can see why! I've used a lot of the popular newer brands of cleansing oils but I have very clog-prone and sensitive skin so I'm pretty picky with my skincare and haven't found many first cleanse products that are suitable with my skin type. I saw that Banila Co. has come out with many versions of their original cleansing balm so I was curious to try them. I haven't used Banila Co. since the 2010s. I bought their tea-tree pore cleansing edition and was very impressed. Usually korean cleansing oils are more heavily fragranced but this does not have a scent. It's buttery smooth and easy to spread. It cleanses off all my makeup but I have to say I do still use the heroine make mascara cleansing brush as this doesn't take off all my mascara but most oil cleansers I've used don't always get all of it. After it washes off your skin will feel like a baby's bottom. I was surprised, my skin didn't feel the least bit heavy nor stripped. Even though this is the pore cleansing edition my skin was still left very soft and supple. I would say even if you have sensitive skin, your skin won't be irritated and your pores will be left clean! The blackheads on my nose have gotten slightly smaller and makeup layers much better. I was able to purchase this one on sale and would probably wait for it to be on sale again to purchase. I've noticed korean cleanser tend to be much more expensive than japanese ones but when the cleansing balm is on sale, I'd say there's decent competition there. In terms of korean skincare I would say this one is currently my favorite cleansing oil. Read more

I've tried tons of makeup removers and cleansing balms (including the other BANILA CO variants) but I always come back to this one! A little goes a looong way and the silky texture makes it pleasant to use. There's a slight fragrance to it (probably the tea tree) but I'd say it's hardly noticeable. This stuff removes my ULTRA-stubborn waterproof makeup like magic with zero burning if it gets in your eyes. It washes off nicely after emulsifying and doesn't leave a film or residue on your face. Just soft, clean, clear skin. I'm SUPER acne prone as well as sensitive- this stuff has never clogged my pores and doesn't dry out nor irritate my barrier. Even if my skin is angry, I've never experienced any stinging and it definitely helps reduce the intensity of breakouts. I used to use micellar water to remove my makeup before cleansing... you'll never need a makeup remover again. It really is THAT good!!! No complaints! Read more

One plus point is that it does not dry out my skin. But for those seeking the thoroughly-cleansed makeup removal, i'd say this is not for you. I still have to use micellar water with cotton pad after that to fully wipe away the thick foundation that i applied on to go on stage. However, it soothes your skin and texture is very smooth. One jar like this can be used up to 6 months, as I did a lot of makeup every day. Just get a tip-sized finger amount and rub against your face for abt 2 minutes, no need water for this step.

I tried the Clean It Zero cleansing balm and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it works. It melts makeup easily, even waterproof products, without the need to rub harshly. The texture is very smooth and feels gentle on the skin, and it rinses off clean without leaving a greasy residue. My skin feels clean, soft, and hydrated after use, with no irritation. I also appreciate that it has no strong scent and works perfectly as the first step in a double cleansing routine. I will definitely keep using it and highly recommend it, especially for daily makeup users. Read more

I use both cleansing balms and cleansing oils, balms for travel and oils at home. I have tried many different options over the years, but I keep coming back to this one and now I mostly just stick with it. It removes makeup very well, including eye makeup, without stinging or clouding my eyes at all. I can actually open my eyes while using it with no discomfort, which is rare for these types of products. The texture is smooth, it rinses clean, and it leaves my skin comfortable. During sale periods, the pricing is excellent and makes it easy to stock up. This is definitely a repeat purchase for me. Read more
