Pros

As someone with sensitive, redness-prone dry skin that's easily irritated by cleansers, I found this product gentle enough to use without any issues. It didn't cause any blemishes, and I could cleanse with just this product alone without needing a second step. It removes makeup cleanly without leaving any residue. Even though I have dry skin and usually can't stand the slippery feeling of cleansing oils (which often leads me to double or triple cleanse), this one leaves me feeling refreshed after just one use.

Cons

The main drawback of cleansing balm types is the hygiene issue. Having to scoop it out with your fingers makes it somewhat vulnerable to contamination.

Tip

Pro tip: Stick a cable holder from Daiso on the lid and keep a spatula in it for more hygienic use. You can also buy double packs at a good price from duty-free shops.

Pros

I've tried similar products from domestic brands, but none seem to cause as little trouble as Clinique. It's fragrance-free, gentle, and removes makeup thoroughly. It's also a great value, lasting me around 2-2.5 months per bottle.

Cons

I've been using this product for 2 years straight without any major complaints. If I had to nitpick, having a spatula included would make it even easier to use.

Tip

After using this product, double cleansing with a foaming cleanser after rinsing with warm water leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed.

There's not much difference between the Vanillaco cleansing balm and this one. The cleansing power is not bad!

Cons

The fragrance is really bad. I guess it's different for everyone...

Pros

💖This is really so good!! I highly recommend it!💖 💖Cleansing effect - When I used other cleansing products, I always felt that the mascara fixer and mascara didn't get removed completely, but this product is just crazy!!! It removes everything so well!!! - There's no irritation at all, and it all just wipes off easily with a light rubbing. 💖Spreadability - The spreadability is also the best!! It just glides on smoothly.😆 💖Lately, my skin has become more sensitive, and when using other cleansing products, I would feel irritation or breakouts, but after using this product, my worries have decreased!! If you're looking for a cleansing product that removes well, I highly recommend this!

Cons

Since it's in a container, it seems a bit inconvenient!! But you know, if you attach a spatula or spoon to the lid, it would be nice to use.🙊

Tip

💖 You need to rinse it off thoroughly with water. That's how you can prevent breakouts! 💖 Attaching a spoon or spatula to the lid makes it more hygienic to use.

Pros

- Design and Ingredients The container is a flat, wide type. When you open the lid, the contents are directly visible, without any intermediate divider cover. The product's ingredient composition is relatively simple, but the ingredients themselves are not entirely natural and not particularly recommended. - Texture It's a white, balm-like type, but on the softer side, so it's easy to scoop out with your fingers. It melts quickly on contact with the skin, turning into a liquid. There is a subtle oil-like fragrance, which may not be an issue for those not sensitive to it, but it leans towards being disliked by some. - Cleansing Power It removes light, daily makeup well. However, for mascara that was used with a fixative or applied thickly, it did not completely cleanse it. It works well for removing foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara, so I use it as a primary cleansing step. But it doesn't seem to be as effective for whitehead or blackhead cleansing. - Usage Experience When applied to the face, it transforms into a cleansing oil-like product, making it easy to spread and emulsify. There was no irritation at all, and it gave an impression of being a fairly average product, neither particularly remarkable nor disappointing.

Cons

The lack of a spatula and the larger container size compared to other products are a bit disappointing.

Pros

It seems like this product can cleanse well even with a small amount!! I remember using it for quite a long time. It's fragrance-free, and when I scoop out a little and roll it, it melts well into the skin and cleanses effectively!

Cons

There wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick one, it would be that it's a bit pricey ㅠㅠ The price is a downside.

Pros

The makeup is easy to remove and the amount is generous, so it can be used for quite a long time.

Cons

It gets into the eyes easily, and when it gets in, the eyes look hazy, so it's inconvenient every time I remove my makeup.

Tip

I use a separate eye makeup remover for the eyes and only use this product on my face.

Pros

I bought it after much deliberation, and the time spent agonizing over the decision was worth it. After cleansing, my skin felt too tight, and my blackheads were really severe, but using this product made the blackheads disappear completely. Of course, they didn't vanish right away, but after consistent use, the effects are no joke - just one jar is enough to see the results. I had heard that the balm-type formula is great for hydration, and it didn't leave my skin feeling dry or dehydrated at all after cleansing. The glow on the T-zone area (without excess oil) is also quite impressive.

Cons

Since it's a balm-type product, it can be tricky to dispense. There's no spatula included, so you have to use your fingers to scoop it out. When it comes into contact with water, the texture transforms into a sorbet-like consistency, so you have to wash your hands and dry them with a towel before handling the product again.

Tip

When applying it with your fingers, use the pads of your fingers rather than the flat of your palm as a base to scoop it out. This prevents the product from getting stuck under your nails. If that's still too cumbersome, you can prepare a separate spatula to dispense the product instead. When rolling the product over areas with blackheads, especially around the nose and cheek areas, try to do so in a circular motion to better target the pore shape. This can help enhance the cleansing and care for those problematic areas.
