  Pros

  Every change of season, I'm super careful about choosing cleansing products due to those pesky blemishes that always seem to pop up. But this time, I tried the 'Skin&Lab Pore Barrier Cleansing Balm' and I'm genuinely thrilled to share my experience - it's been ages since I've felt this satisfied! I often use waterproof mascara and long-lasting lip tints, so I usually prefer powerful cleansing balms. However, strong products can be harsh, which has always been a double-edged sword for my sensitive skin. This product, though, manages to cleanse thoroughly without causing any irritation or tightness - it's exactly what I've been looking for! The texture feels like a soft sorbet that melts slightly upon contact with your skin. When you warm it up in your palms and massage it onto your face, it spreads smoothly like an oil - it's incredibly gentle and easy to use. I was amazed at how well it removed blackheads around my nose and flaky skin on my chin without any irritation. Even when it got into my eyes, there was no stinging sensation - truly impressive! I always double cleanse, but after using this product, my skin felt so clean that I only needed to follow up with a light foam cleanser as a finishing touch. That's how satisfied I was with its cleansing effectiveness. With the current dry weather, my face would often feel tight after cleansing. However, this product leaves my skin feeling moisturized even after rinsing. In fact, my skin texture feels softest right after washing. As someone with sensitive and dehydrated skin that reacts badly to the slightest misstep, I'm happy to report no blemishes at all - instead, my skin became calmer and smoother. Another plus for me is that it's fragrance-free. The absence of artificial scents makes it less burdensome to use daily, which is crucial for a product I use so frequently. I also appreciate the built-in spatula under the lid for hygienic application - no worries about fingerprints, keeping everything nice and clean! Lately, this cleansing balm alone has been enough to thoroughly remove not just makeup, but also impurities and excess sebum, simplifying my evening skincare routine. It's particularly impressive how it manages to exfoliate, maintain hydration, and refine pores all at once without irritating my skin. I've found myself needing exfoliating pads or pore masks less often. At 100ml, it's quite generous in size, and the price point makes it excellent value for money. With this quality at this price, I'll definitely be repurchasing. Since I don't wear heavy makeup every day, I expect this product to last me a good two months!

  Cons

  When you open the lid, the container's opening is quite wide, so the product tends to come out too easily. Fortunately, there's a built-in spatula for hygienic use, but when I'm in a rush in the morning, I sometimes scoop it out with my fingers. In those moments, it can get messy with too much product on my hands or the lid, which can be a bit inconvenient! Another thing to note is that while the texture melts smoothly, if it becomes too liquid, it might drip from your hands. So you need to be a bit careful when using it. Especially in summer, if stored at room temperature, it might become too runny, so you'll need to pay attention to storage! Lastly, for those with extremely dry or very dehydrated skin, this cleansing balm alone might not provide enough moisture. I found I needed to follow up with a hydrating serum or cream in my skincare routine to feel fully satisfied.

  Tip

  Here's a little tip! After applying this product, I have a habit of gently pressing my palms against my face for about 10 seconds. This allows the balm to melt more smoothly thanks to your body heat, helping it adhere better to your skin and absorb more effectively, resulting in a more hydrated finish. I've noticed it definitely improves skin texture more than just rubbing it in!
