Farmacy Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm - Green Clean Waterproof Makeup Remover Balm Oil Cleanser for Face - Gently

I have really delicate dry skin. I don't often wear makeup, but when I do, I need to get every bit of it off or else I break out or my pores clog and I end up with what seems like instant blackheads. I've never understood how people can wear heavy cosmetics without ruining their skin. But then, maybe covering it all up is why they wear it in the first place. A-N-Y-W-A-Y...years ago I discovered a Lancome cleanser that melted and removed every trace of makeup and left my skin soft and clean without feeling dry or stripped of moisture. It was a cream-to-oil cleanser that liquefied at body temperature that was designed for oily skin and cleansed without water. In fact, mixing it with water wrecked the deep cleansing and makeup removing effectiveness of it. Once all my makeup AND eye makeup was dissolved, I could just wipe everything off with a damp cloth and then rinse my face in warm water. Presto. I didn't have oily skin, but the woman at the counter raved at what a miracle makeup remover it was, so I tried it, and it proved to be everything she'd said. Naturally, Lancome discontinued the product and I could never find anything like it. I was able to find more on the eBay and hoarded what I could find, but eventually, I ran out, and no one seemed to offer anything like it...until now. FARMACY NATURAL MAKEUP REMOVER IS THE BOMB! A little goes a long way. It looks like a cream, but it liquefies on contact with my skin. I go all over my face (and eyes!) in light circular motions until everything is completely loose and dissolved, and then wipe it all away with a damp cloth. Just like before. Then I rinse, rinse, rinse with warm water. My skin is fresh and clean with no trace of makeup left behind. It completely dissolves long lasting lipstick/lip liner and water proof eye makeup in nothing flat. No dryness, no redness, no stripping. It's just grand. I am so relieved to have found this product! I recommend it highly...but DON'T mix it with any water until you are ready to remove it from your face. Be sure to use a damp wash cloth to wipe your face before you rinse, otherwise I don't think everything comes off. If needed, after rinsing, if you want to follow up with your regular cleanser, or do a repeat with this cleanser, that would be up to you, but depending on your primer/foundation/powder etc., you shouldn't need to. I never have. I don't even need moisturizer after cleansing. I just use this stuff, rinse, pat my face dry, and head off to bed. Sweet! And the scent is wonderful. Refreshing and relaxing all at the same time. One other thought. As I mentioned before, my old Lancome product was made as a cleanser for oily skin, not especially as a makeup remover. It's only a guess, but if I had really oil skin, I'd try this cleanser whether I wore makeup or not. I think this product is probably going to prove to be way more than just a makeup remover.

WOW. I first read about this on Wirecutter, but I was still skeptical. I've purchased many of their skincare recommendations and found most all of them not for me. But this product is an ABSOLUTELY WINNER. It melts all make-up completely, including eye makeup (big surprise). But the kicker for me was how it works on mascara: it doesn't burn and it doesn't leave that nasty film, which so often required I rinse out my eyes after using. LOVE IT. I'll order the bigger size next time. Oh...leaves skin nice & soft -- and clean... Read more

This is my 3rd repurchase. Very smooth melting balm. Removes mascara,glitter and waterproof makeup. Doesn't break me out. Left feeling clean! Read more

I'm tired. I'm sleepy. I know I have to take off my sunscreen and do my double cleansing, but I'm sooooo tired. This is a great makeup and sunscreen remover balm. It is economical as I don't use a lot. It's moisturizing, so my skin barrier is safe. It gets rid of every trace, and it's so sinfully easy to use that it makes washing up easier. Score! Read more

LOVE this product. I’m unable to use anything on my face that has fragrance of any kind. This product has no scent. It cleanses my skin gently, but thoroughly. My skin feels moisturized and soft after use. This size lasts a long time and is great for travel. I highly recommend trying this product. Read more

This cleansing balm performs well in terms of removing makeup and sunscreen. It has a smooth, buttery texture that breaks down mascara, foundation, and SPF without needing much product, and it rinses off cleanly without leaving a heavy residue. The scent is mild and pleasant, and the formula feels gentle on the skin, which makes it a good option for daily use. The only drawback is that the balm softens very quickly at room temperature; even with careful storage, it tends to feel a bit melty and less solid than expected, which can make scooping out the right amount slightly messy. Despite that, it still works effectively and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and not stripped, making it a solid cleansing balm overall. Read more

This product works well with my sensitive skin, and removes makeup very well. This is kinda small compared to the one I bought at Sephora. But for the price it is fair. It is greasy but hydrating. Read more

Perfect makeup remover!! It feels amazing on my skin and gets most of my makeup off before I use my facial cleanser! I have sensitive, acneic skin and it has never caused me to break out. I definitely can’t go without it now and bought multiple recently to put in my mom and sisters’ Christmas stockings this year! Read more
