It's known for being a vegan product, and it definitely felt less irritating than others. It removed my makeup cleanly and effectively.
ConsThere's a major drawback with the packaging. When you open the main lid, there's a smaller inner lid that's always slippery. I end up having to use my teeth to open it every time!

It removes makeup thoroughly without leaving any residue, and it even takes off waterproof and color cosmetics in one go. The best part? Unlike other products that can sting your eyes, this one doesn't cause any irritation at all - that's a huge plus!
ConsI think it would be great if they could offer a larger size for better value for money.
TipYou don't need to twist the lid - it opens with just one touch!

The scent isn't overpowering, so it's comfortable to use (unlike Banila Co. which can be a bit intense). 2. Love that it comes with a space for a spoon - much more hygienic than using your fingers. 3. Impressive cleansing effectiveness - it even removes Clio mascara (no need for separate lip and eye makeup remover). 4. If a cleansing balm nails these three points, it's a winner. Just needs to be reasonably priced. Added bonus: Doesn't irritate the eyes at all - amazing!
Cons1. More expensive than Banila Co. for the amount you get. 2. Can't think of any other downsides, to be honest.
TipIt might look solid on the surface, but it scoops out easily with the spoon. Just press gently!

When I gently rolled it onto my skin using the warmth of my hands instead of a cotton pad, it felt much less irritating, making the cleansing process very satisfying.
ConsThose who are sensitive to fragrances might not appreciate this product.
TipFor those with oily skin, I recommend using only a tiny amount as the rich texture might potentially cause blemishes!

Packaging I loved that it has a pop-open lid and comes with a spatula! With cleansing balms, it's annoying when water gets in without a spatula, but this design prevents that issue and makes it easy to control the amount. 2. Cleansing I typically only wear sunscreen, light contouring, and lip color, and this removed everything effortlessly. It performed similarly to cleansing oils. 3. User experience The best part is that it doesn't drip down your hands and arms like cleansing oils do! It keeps the sink area clean, which makes me reach for it more often.
ConsI didn't have any major issues! Some people mentioned the scent was bothersome, but I didn't really notice it... If I had to nitpick, occasionally the solid formula can clump in eyebrows, making it harder to emulsify when too much is applied.
TipWhether I use cleansing oil or balm, I always finish with a konjac sponge!

When you rub it on your skin, it instantly transforms into an oil-like texture, which is so convenient! When traveling, I often worry about oil products leaking, but with this balm form, that's not an issue at all! I tend to get blemishes the next day if my cleansing isn't thorough, but I didn't experience that with this product. It's great! It effectively removes eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, and lip products. (For reference, I use Merzy brush pen eyeliner, Innisfree Skinny Microcara mascara, Etude House eyeshadow palette, and Rom&nd lip tint!) By the way, I noticed the lid can be opened in two ways. I'm curious why there's a twist-open option as well!
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. I suppose it's because they didn't add any fragrances? Even if the scent isn't great, I prioritize ingredients over fragrance, so it's okay! + Update (11/10/22) Lately, I've been getting a lot of blemishes, so I stopped using new skincare products one by one. It seems this cleansing balm might have been the culprit. The blemishes were the kind that fill with pus, and after extraction, they left scars. While the cleansing effectiveness was good, it's unfortunate. + Update (4/18/24) Last December, I ran out of cleansing oil and had to use this again. Surprisingly, I didn't get any blemishes and it worked fine! Maybe my skin barrier has become stronger. The Etude House Curl Fix mascara, which usually doesn't come off easily in one go, removes very well with this cleansing balm. I'm using it happily now!
TipRecommended for those with a strong skin barrier! Effectively removes mascara, eyeliner, foundation, and more!

It feels great when you scoop it out! Emulsification: The emulsification is truly fantastic!!!! I've tried cleansing oils and various other products, but this one is seriously top-notch!!! Cleansing effectiveness: It removes even waterproof products cleanly!!
ConsThe scent is quite... balmy? It has a strong balm-like smell. I wish it were more fragrance-free or had a nicer scent!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAllows for gentle cleansing without irritation. Effectively removes sunscreen, foundation, and eyebrow makeup. Doesn't strip the skin of moisture (no dry feeling). It's a vegan product. Doesn't cause blemishes. Has an effect of dissolving sebum (though there's still quite a bit of sebum in my pores, there's definitely less after use). Comes with a built-in spatula, and there's a plastic plate between the spatula and the product with a handle, making it convenient. Also, when using the spatula, you can attach the plastic plate to the lid to prevent contamination, which is really user-friendly. Easier to control the amount and use compared to cleansing oil, and cleansing balm is generally better for people with a lot of peach fuzz.
ConsDoesn't remove eye makeup very well. Considering the regular price, it's not particularly budget-friendly. The amount lasts about a month with daily use. Leaves a slight residue (which is why I do a second cleanse). Doesn't really exfoliate dead skin cells (if you have skin with lots of tiny bumps, I strongly recommend using an exfoliating product in your skincare routine)
TipI have combination dehydrated skin, so I use cleansing balm well, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to those with very oily skin. However, I do recommend it for dry or combination dehydrated skin types. In my case, because there's some residue after using the cleansing balm, I follow up with a low pH cleansing foam. In the morning, I only use the low pH cleansing foam, while at night I use the cleansing balm followed by the low pH cleansing foam. Having only used cleansing foams and oils before, this is my first time trying a cleansing balm, so I'm not sure about its unique characteristics. However, this product has been satisfying enough for me to get into cleansing balms. If it goes on sale, I would definitely repurchase.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt removes most makeup really well! Even my mascara, which usually resists cleansing oils, foams, and waters, came off easily with this balm. I was amazed. Scent - It has a mild tea tree scent that's not overwhelming, making it comfortable to use. Quantity - There's plenty! I found that a small amount of balm was enough to remove all my makeup, which made it seem even more generous. The included spatula made it convenient to use. When applied and massaged onto the skin, it melts down nicely and feels incredibly oil-rich.
ConsThere weren't any downsides. If anything, I wish I had discovered the benefits of cleansing balms and products like this sooner!
TipA small amount is sufficient for makeup removal! Even for those who wear heavy makeup, I recommend starting with a small amount and adjusting as needed. For a thorough cleanse, I suggest following up with a second cleanse after using the balm. While I didn't find it heavy as I have combination skin, those with oily skin might find it slightly rich.

It also leaves minimal residue from eye makeup.
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. It's reminiscent of that smell you encounter when entering a newly constructed building.
