I used to use a separate eye makeup remover, but this dissolves even mascara, so now I complete my first cleanse with just this product. I bought it because it's supposed to clean pores, and when I use it, I can feel the sebum dissolving and coming out in little grains! After using it, I can see that some blackheads have actually dissolved. I switched to this cleansing balm from cleansing gel because oils gave me blemishes, and it's so much more convenient that I think I'll stick with it!
ConsI'm not a fan of jar packaging, but I guess it's unavoidable with a balm formula. They provide a spatula, but it's a bit disappointing that it's hard to store it properly on the plastic lid. Also, it's a bit tricky to control the amount you use, so I tend to use more than necessary. Other than that, everything else is fine!

What I liked most was that the formula wasn't heavy, and it removed makeup well too. I even had fewer blemishes. In my opinion, it was a product I really enjoyed. However, I won't be repurchasing it, unfortunately.
ConsI was a bit disappointed that it didn't remove blackheads very well. While it was effective at removing sebum, maybe the problem is with me... Anyway, yeah... that's how it is.
TipFor best results in removing sebum, try emulsifying about three times.

I was amazed to see the blackheads gently coming out right away. I especially loved that it didn't sting even if it got into my eyes. After using the Banila Co cleansing balm, my skin became brighter and smoother. I could feel the changes in my skin with daily use. Notably, as my blackheads and whiteheads reduced, my pores became cleaner and sebum production decreased. It cleanses gently without irritation, so it should be suitable for sensitive skin. The product itself is mild, making it great for consistent use. The scent is a subtle green apple fragrance, not too overpowering. The tea tree ingredients helped to soothe my skin as well! The cleansing effectiveness is excellent - it removes makeup so thoroughly that there's no need for a second cleanse. I recommend it if you're not sensitive to tea tree extract.
ConsI'm so satisfied with this product that I can't think of any downsides!
TipThere are two versions of the Banila Co cleansing balm: The green one is for oily skin types The pink one is for dry skin types

But using Banila Co's cleansing balm has been a game-changer! I have issues with uneven texture, sebum, and blemishes, but after consistently using this balm for about two weeks, the difference was remarkable! My skin texture improved significantly, blackheads disappeared, and my pores became practically invisible - I'm incredibly satisfied! The most impressive part? No visible dead skin cells. Even without skincare, there's no tightness, and my skin remains flake-free even when dry the next day. As someone sensitive to scents, I love that this product has a sweet, fresh fragrance that's pleasant to use. Crucially, as someone with sensitive skin who usually needs a 3-step cleanse, on tired nights I can use just this Banila Co cleansing balm thoroughly and wake up with skin as good as if I'd done my full routine. It's truly amazing - effective, generous in quantity, and delivers great results. I highly recommend everyone give this cleansing balm a try! (Quick summary✨) - Pleasant, not overwhelming scent - Achieves zero dead skin cells - Banishes sebum, blackheads, and pores - Thorough cleanse with just this one product - Easy to use and gentle on application!
ConsWhile there aren't any significant downsides, those sensitive to texture might find the slippery feel during the water rinse after using the cleansing balm a bit off-putting.
Tip- Make sure to start cleansing with your hands right after applying it to your skin! Otherwise, it might melt and drip off. - Don't cleanse too thoroughly around the eye area! While it won't irritate your eyes, it might temporarily blur your vision if you overdo it.

It's easy to use and comes in a generous amount. Removes makeup in one go. The scent isn't overpowering.
ConsThe fragrance isn't to my liking. It feels excessively rich, almost like applying oil. The process of wetting, cleansing, and rinsing is a bit cumbersome. After the first few uses, it becomes less effective at removing sebum. If it gets in your eyes, they remain blurry even after wiping (cotton swabs needed). When used in the eye area, it causes significant irritation.

What's more, it made managing blackheads and whiteheads so much easier! That's why I'm currently on my 6th bottle. Trust me and give it a try! For first-time users, I recommend starting with the original version. If you have oily skin like mine, you can then switch to the green one!
ConsThere's honestly nothing to complain about. Why do I have to fill this section?

I haven't used it for long, so I'm not entirely sure yet. But every time I use it, I can feel the sebum being drawn out!
ConsIt's similar to regular cleansing oil. The downside is that it takes a bit more time to use...
