Cleansing Balm, as it is excellent overall, but the wide variety can make it difficult to choose. For sensitive skin, you must go with the blue one! It rinses off cleanly, leaves no dryness, and effectively removes excess sebum. There is no residue left behind, and it wipes away thoroughly, making it truly wonderful.🥰
ConsBotanic oils or balm-type products can cause oiliness and breakouts if used incorrectly. This is the real best option. It even has a soothing effect, so it can eliminate trouble.

There's a slight scent, perhaps similar to cica? It didn't particularly irritate my sensitive skin, and the texture feels a bit lighter than the original. It's effective at removing sunscreen and has a lighter feel compared to the original cleansing balm. When melted in your hands, it removes makeup well. I got it for around $12 during a sale, and I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.
ConsAs someone who's used the original for a long time, I find the cleansing effectiveness a bit lacking in comparison. On days when I've worn makeup for a long time and want to thoroughly remove it, even after emulsifying carefully, it doesn't seem to remove sebum as cleanly as the original (though this might be a plus for those who prefer gentler cleansing!). It manages to remove mascara, but I doubt it would be sufficient for heavy eye makeup. There are times when I want a deep cleanse with a cleansing balm, and this falls short for those occasions. Also, it seems they've added fragrance to differentiate between product lines, which feels unnecessary to me.
TipIf you're looking for a balm-type cleanser that's slightly lighter than the pink original, this product might be a good option for you!

First off, it cleanses incredibly well. It doesn't sting even if it gets in your eyes, and it effectively removes sebum, which is very satisfying. It wasn't irritating to my skin at all. The sorbet-like texture melts easily with body heat and feels very smooth. It emulsifies perfectly, and I love that it doesn't leave an oily residue after rinsing. It's really great!
ConsThere are no downsides... honestly, none at all. I'll definitely repurchase when I run out... This is truly a cleansing balm that I adore.

The cleansing effectiveness is truly impressive. Even waterproof mascara dissolves well and comes off easily with this. Naturally, it removes lip products and base makeup effortlessly too. The balm texture is its biggest advantage, allowing for a gentle, non-irritating cleanse as it melts away makeup. I discovered that this product comes in various lines like Calming, Nourishing, and Original. Once I finish this one, I plan to try the other versions. I'll definitely repurchase - it was a great buy!
ConsOn days when I wear light makeup, it cleanses so well that a second cleanse isn't necessary. I haven't found any downsides yet.
TipWhile not exactly a tip, I appreciated that a spatula comes included with the purchase, allowing for hygienic application each time you use the product.

I liked it so much that I bought a full-size bottle. While the green one gave a squeaky clean feeling, the blue one had a real soothing effect. There was no irritation from cleansing. Of course, true to Banila Co's reputation, it removed makeup thoroughly as well.
ConsUnlike with the green one, after cleansing with the blue, my face felt extremely dry and tight. I usually apply moisturizer right after cleansing, so it's not a big deal, but if I had to point out a flaw, this would be it.
TipKeep your spatula clean!

As someone who prefers unscented products, I find it a bit strong and noticeable, but it's not an unpleasant scent! ✔️ Cleansing power The cleansing effectiveness is top-notch! First, scoop it with the spatula and massage it onto your face - it melts in beautifully.
Cons➰️ Packaging The container is a bit inconvenient. Having to twist open the lid, grab the spatula, and then scoop out the product makes it somewhat cumbersome
Tip✨️ Waterproof mascara, eyeliner, and shimmery eyeshadow need to be removed separately with an eye makeup remover

It has great absorption, cleanses gently without irritating the skin, and doesn't leave my face feeling too tight after washing. That's what I really like about it.
ConsThe downside is that it runs out quickly because I tend to use it generously. Also, since it comes in a jar, it can be inconvenient to use if you lose the spatula. Other than that, it's pretty good.

The cleansing effectiveness is incredible. Just a gentle rub and all my makeup comes off, eliminating the need for a second cleanse. I have super sensitive skin and usually experience a tingling sensation with cleansing products, but this one is absolutely non-irritating and removes makeup gently. It's also helped reduce my redness significantly. Highly recommended!
ConsIf you're looking to target pores specifically, I wouldn't recommend this product. Go for the green version instead.

There's no irritation at all, and it cleanses so smoothly! I love how it makes my skin feel soft. It's also great at removing makeup! I'd highly recommend this to anyone with extremely sensitive, blemish-prone, combination skin, or various skin conditions like me - it's truly a holy grail cleansing balm!!
ConsThere are no downsides at all! I plan to use only this cleansing balm from now on.
TipMy skin feels a bit dry after cleansing. It might be good to use this along with a hydrating product!

ConsAmong all the cleansing products I've used so far, this is the best, so I have no complaints
