The scent is pleasant too.
ConsWhy are there so many lids? You open one and there's another... Is this some kind of safety measure?

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 packaging is absolutely gorgeous. It looks beautiful sitting in my bathroom. It comes with a spatula, which is great for hygienic use. 2. Cleansing effectiveness When I only use foam cleanser after applying sunscreen, it doesn't feel thorough enough. But when I use this product followed by foam cleansing, my skin feels squeaky clean. 3. Scent The fragrance isn't artificial, but rather familiar and pleasant, which I really appreciate. 4. Vegan product While I don't usually pay much attention to whether a product is vegan, knowing it wasn't tested on animals gives me a good feeling.
Cons1. When you first use it, it leaves a slippery feeling on the skin. That's why I think a second cleanse with a foam cleanser is absolutely necessary.
TipYou only need to use a small amount with the spatula for cleansing. There's no need to use too much. Make sure to always follow up with a second cleanse.

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!

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.ProsEverything about it was great. The scent was subtle and not overpowering. When it transformed into oil, it didn't run excessively but rather clung to the skin with a nice texture, so I loved that it didn't drip down my wrists. It rinsed off easily with water and didn't leave my skin feeling dry. I've been using this cleansing balm daily because I'm currently on acne medication and applying mineral sunscreen every day. So far, I haven't experienced any blemishes. While this could be due to the medication, I still feel the product is gentle and non-irritating. The price is reasonable too, so if you catch it on sale, it could become your lifelong cleansing companion.
ConsI haven't found any downsides yet. The scent was a bit odd when I first opened it, but I got used to it as I continued using the product.
TipThis product isn't complicated to use, so there aren't any special tips needed. Simply use the included spatula to scoop about a spoonful from the edges and apply it. Although it starts as a solid, it quickly transforms into an oil as soon as you start massaging it onto your skin.

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.

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.ProsThank you for selecting me as one of The Hwahae Testers! As someone with extremely dry skin, I typically use cleansing balms for my skincare routine. What I love about the To Be Gan cleansing balm is that it's vegan, which sets it apart from other products. Additionally, the scent isn't overpowering or artificial, making it pleasant to use.
ConsHowever, I noticed that even after using the balm for my first cleanse and following up with a gentle water-based massage, it didn't completely remove my lip color or eyeliner. Unfortunately, this means double cleansing is still necessary, which is a bit disappointing.
TipI've found that using a lip and eye makeup remover before the cleansing balm eliminates the need for double cleansing. This method works particularly well for those of us with extremely dry skin, especially during the winter months when our skin tends to become dehydrated easily. I highly recommend this approach!

It emulsifies well and has great cleansing effectiveness, even removing point makeup, so there's no need for a second cleanse. As soon as it touches the skin, it melts softly like sorbet, as shown in the photo. When massaging it in, there's absolutely no irritation to the skin. Even for super sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes. The lid makes it convenient to store the spatula!
ConsI haven't found any downsides yet. I'll add more to my review after using it a bit longer!

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.ProsMy skin type: Combination dehydrated skin - Cheeks get very dry during seasonal changes - T-zone is always quite oily - Left eye makeup is harder to remove - Eyes became very sensitive after LASIK surgery Texture: Soft and easy to scoop with the included spatula Scent: Has an aromatherapy-like fragrance, which I personally love. It's not overpowering, so it's not bothersome Packaging: Convenient with included spatula. The cap between the cleansing balm and spatula is hygienic, though opening and closing it each time is slightly inconvenient Cleansing effectiveness: I tested it on heavy swatches of eyeliner (regular pencil), mascara (non-waterproof), and shimmer eyeshadow. While not extremely powerful, it should remove most makeup effectively unless it's very heavy. When used on my face with just matte sunscreen/makeup base, it didn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards. Unlike foam cleansers that make my cheeks feel tight and cracked in this dry weather, this balm was gentler. It removed eye makeup well, even on my left eye which is usually harder to clean. No irritation to my eyes, which was satisfying. This was my first time using a cleansing balm, and I think it's better than cleansing oils for those who don't wear heavy makeup. I don't like how cleansing oils run, so I prefer this. An added benefit is that once you apply it to your face, you're committed to washing quickly - great for lazy people like me!
ConsNot recommended for oily skin types! But highly recommended for combination dehydrated skin
TipKeep it on your vanity and once you put it on your face, you'll end up washing!

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.ProsPackage - It's incredibly neat, and the included spatula was really convenient! After using it for just under two weeks, I found it easy to scoop out with my fingernail too. The texture is like a balm that melts with the warmth of your hands. My hands tend to be warm, so it melted well and when applied to the skin, it didn't drip but went on smoothly! Scent - It has a fresh tea tree fragrance! I like it, but keep in mind that tea tree can be polarizing for some people. Cleansing effectiveness - I usually use a lip and eye remover for mascara, but I experimentally tried removing mascara with this product and it worked well! After about 30 seconds of massaging and rinsing with warm water, most makeup came off easily. I'm considering using this product to remove point makeup in the future.
ConsUsing this product alone for the first cleanse can leave a slightly heavy feeling. To finish off, I recommend following up with a gentle foam cleanser for a refreshing end to your routine.
TipSince the balm itself is quite moisturizing, you can go lighter on your skincare routine afterwards. In fact, I found that overdoing it could lead to blemishes.
