It took me about 5 months to use up the entire container! First off, I absolutely loved the unique design where you twist the container and the balm comes out shaved - no need for a spatula, which keeps everything nice and clean! When my friends stayed over, they were all amazed by this cleansing balm when they used it to wash their faces. The cleansing effectiveness is truly impressive! This product alone can remove all your makeup thoroughly. There's hardly any deep dryness after cleansing with this! Unlike foam cleansers that can be quite drying, this cleansing balm is so much gentler on the skin. I also adore the packaging! I'm definitely repurchasing this product! I just finished it yesterday and I'm so pleased that I wanted to leave a review. The only slight inconvenience was not being able to see how much product was left inside, but other than that, I didn't experience any major issues. - la******Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJun 28, 2025
The gentle ingredients and the hygienic grinding applicator were real highlights for me. Considering the price, it's a bit disappointing. The amount seems really small (even less visible due to the grinding mechanism), and after using it for a short while, the product stopped coming out. I can't tell if I've used it all up or if it's malfunctioning. To be honest, I'm not sure about its effectiveness in removing sebum either. (With Banila Co, I could see sebum coming out daily and felt lighter after use, so I might go back to that one...) The product's gentle formulation is a plus for those with sensitive skin. However, the value for money and overall effectiveness seem to be lacking. The grinding mechanism, while hygienic, makes it difficult to gauge how much product is left. The sebum control doesn't appear to be as effective as some competitors, like Banila Co. Consider your skin's needs and budget when deciding on this product. - ye********Oily SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRecommendedJun 25, 2025
The twist-up design makes this product incredibly hygienic, which I absolutely love. As someone with blemish-prone skin, I tend to apply concealer and foundation a bit more heavily, but this cleanser's effectiveness is truly impressive. It does an excellent job of removing all my base makeup. I've been using this for about two months now, and the only drawback I've noticed is that it's difficult to see how much product is left inside. Other than that, I haven't found any issues so far. - ks****Dry SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRednessRecommendedJun 21, 2025
Hey everyone, we all know how crucial cleansing is, right? All that makeup, impurities, and even fine dust that build up throughout the day! If you don't remove it properly, not only will you get blemishes, but even the best skincare won't do much good. That's why I'm always super careful when choosing cleansing products. But let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away when I tried Dr. Elcia's 'Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm'. Wow, this isn't just any cleansing balm! It's become a true gift for my skin. Honestly, at first I thought, 'Aren't all cleansing balms pretty much the same?' But the more I used it, the more I realized, 'This is the real deal!' The 'grind-to-use' method? It seemed odd at first, but it's amazing in practice! The most unique feature of this cleansing balm is its 'grind-to-use' method. I'll admit, it was a bit strange to me at first. Usually, cleansing balms come in a tub, and you scoop them out with your fingers or a spatula, right? But with this Dr. Elcia cleansing balm, you turn a dial like a pencil sharpener, and the product smoothly rises up and gets shaved off. When I saw this, I thought, 'What a brilliant idea!' Plus, the hygiene is top-notch! With traditional cleansing balms, even if you use a spatula, they still end up exposed to air and inevitably come into contact with your hands, which can feel a bit unsanitary. But with this, you only grind out exactly what you need, so there's no worry about the product being contaminated. The feeling of using freshly ground cleansing balm every time is simply the best. Especially for those of us with sensitive skin who are more concerned about hygiene, this completely eliminates those worries. Another great point is that it stays fresh longer. Since there's minimal contact with air, there's less risk of the product deteriorating, and you get the sense that the active ingredients stay fresh from start to finish. It seems like you can really get the full effect of the product because of this. Plus, since you only grind out exactly what you need, it's easy to control the amount and there's no waste, making it economical too. Seeing this level of attention to detail really shows that Dr. Elcia truly thinks about the consumer, which I find touching. This 'grind-to-use' method isn't just a simple idea - it's like magic that upgrades the entire cleansing routine. The texture melts like sorbet, and my skin loves it! Now, let's talk about the cleansing balm that comes out of this innovative grinding mechanism. It looks just like a soft 'sorbet'. When you touch it with your fingers, it feels thick yet smooth. But the moment it touches your skin, it melts away with your body heat and transforms into a soft oil! Oh, this process is so satisfying! It glides onto the skin smoothly without any tugging or pulling. It's like applying a luxurious massage oil at a high-end spa - that silky feeling, you know? Thanks to this, you can dissolve your makeup comfortably without irritating your skin throughout the cleansing process. I really dislike anything that irritates my skin during cleansing, but this product is so gentle that cleansing actually feels like a healing experience. The emulsification process when you add water is also incredibly smooth. You can actually see the makeup and impurities dissolving as it turns milky. The whole process is so effortless and gentle that it made me realize cleansing can actually be this enjoyable. Powerful cleansing! It removes even heavy makeup in one go! The most important role of a cleansing balm is its cleansing power, right? Dr. Elcia Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm excels in this aspect too. I usually wear quite heavy makeup - waterproof mascara, long-lasting foundation, and lip tints that stain easily. But this cleansing balm removes all my makeup thoroughly in one go, without needing a separate lip and eye makeup remover! To be honest, I was skeptical at first, thinking 'Can this really remove everything?' But when I gently massaged it around my eyes, the waterproof mascara and eyeliner just melted away. And there was no irritation to my eyes at all. After cleansing, when I wiped with a cotton pad, there was hardly any makeup residue left - I was really impressed! That's how effective its cleansing power is. It's not just good at removing makeup. It seems to effectively remove fine dust, impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day, and even sebum deep in your pores. After cleansing, you can immediately feel that your skin is clearer and cleaner. When you want a thorough cleanse but don't want to go through multiple steps, this one product is enough, which is super convenient. Even sensitive skin can relax! It's so gentle! You might worry that with such strong cleansing power, it could be harsh on the skin. I was concerned about that too. But the Dr. Elcia Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm truly lives up to the term 'gentle'. If I had to think of something, it's a bit tricky to figure out when to repurchase since you can't see how much product is left. If you use this and then apply aloe gel, your skin will improve dramatically. After using this, your skin becomes super smooth and bright. - gr*******Dry SkinRecommendedJun 7, 2025
The fact that it fits perfectly and is hygienic already makes it seem like a top-notch product. Personally, I didn't find anything disappointing, but if I had to nitpick, it would be that you can't check how much product is left. - tj*******Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedJun 2, 2025
It's so gentle and amazing! I always use this to remove my sunscreen at the end of the day! There's nothing bad to say! It's gentle and seems to be the best option out there! The price is a bit high, so I recommend buying it when it's on sale. This cleanser is perfect for those with sensitive skin who need an effective yet gentle way to remove sunscreen. Its mild formula ensures it won't irritate your skin while still providing excellent cleansing effectiveness. While the price point might be higher than some alternatives, the quality justifies the cost, especially if you can catch it on sale. It's a great addition to any skincare routine, particularly for those who wear sunscreen daily and need a reliable, skin-friendly removal method. - ko*******Normal SkinAcne SkinDark CirclesRecommendedMay 29, 2025
1. User Experience and Formula 1.1. Packaging First off, the twist-up container makes this incredibly convenient to use. I've always been concerned about hygiene with cleansing balms that require a spatula, not to mention how messy and slippery the container gets. This product eliminates those worries entirely. The twisting mechanism works smoothly, dispensing the product without any hiccups. The lid is designed to pop open slightly when twisted, which initially seemed odd but proves to be brilliant - it's a one-touch open that keeps the lid clean. Just snap it shut after use, and it stays pristine even with continued use. Overall, the packaging seems thoughtfully designed with user convenience in mind. 1.2. Texture and Scent The formula is a classic cleansing balm texture - neither too oily and heavy, nor lacking in richness to the point of being sticky. It has a soft, buttery consistency that melts easily with body heat and emulsifies well. There's nothing unusual about the texture that might polarize users, so if you're curious about twist-up cleansing balms, this could be a great one to try. As for the scent, it's fragrance-free. You won't encounter any of those unpleasant oily odors sometimes found in cleansing oils or balms. 2. Cleansing Effectiveness This cleanser works wonders. Its cleansing power is flawless. It effortlessly removes face makeup, contouring, eyebrow products, lip color, and eye makeup residue. However, for those who wear heavy, waterproof eye makeup, I'd recommend using a separate eye makeup remover first. What I really love is how easily the balm itself rinses off. Emulsify it well, rinse with water, and there's absolutely no greasy residue left on your skin. 3. Overall Impression I couldn't find any flaws while using this product. The texture and scent are universally appealing, the packaging is convenient, and the cleansing power is excellent. It seems like a product that would satisfy anyone. The quality is outstanding - I hope it gains more popularity. I especially recommend this for those with dry bathrooms or anyone who dislikes messy cleansing balm containers. 1. It doesn't seem to be available in Olive Young offline stores. When I checked the inventory, no stores had it in stock. If you want to purchase it, it's best to order online for delivery. 2. You can't check how much product is left. While the opaque container looks sleek, it makes it impossible to see how much product remains. It's advisable to stock up in advance. - z.*****Combination SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedMay 23, 2025
This is amazing even on makeup-free days - it improves your skin and removes full makeup effectively! The instructions are super convenient too. For light makeup, you only need to use half a pump, while for full glam, one full pump does the trick. It's so easy to use! Plus, it gets rid of dead skin cells completely! Honestly, there's nothing to complain about! Just use it and take good care of your skin. - ba******Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedMay 9, 2025
This product is a game-changer that improves on the inconveniences of traditional cleansing balms. I love that it's more powerful than oil cleansers, removing all makeup thoroughly without needing a separate eye makeup remover. The best part is the innovative grinding mechanism - no more digging with your nails! Just twist and it grinds up the perfect amount. The texture is more like a sorbet than a solid balm, melting quickly on your skin, which should be great for winter use. True to its balm nature, it cleanses effectively, removing even the most elaborate makeup in one go. And there's no residue or oily feeling left behind, which is fantastic. If you're a fan of cleansing balms, I highly recommend giving this product a try. The downside is that the opaque case and grinder design make it impossible to see how much product is left. Also, some of the balm tends to get stuck around the grinder, so you can't use every last bit. I tried my best to scoop out the remnants with my finger, but there's a slight lip that makes it challenging to get it all. If you're a stickler for using up every drop of product (like me), this might be a bit frustrating. 
gy******Dry SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedMay 2, 2025I love that it's a grinding type where you twist to shave off just the amount you need, making it very hygienic. The butter-like texture is so smooth, and I'm thrilled it's vegan with gentle ingredients! It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight at all. I'd recommend this to anyone who dislikes cleansing milks or waters that lack cleansing effectiveness, those who don't like the heavy feeling of oils, and frequent users of cleansing balms. It's always better to use products with good ingredients! It doesn't completely remove heavy makeup, so you'll need to use an eye makeup remover as well!
