    Hmmm I’m on the fence with this one. I’ll use it up but don’t think I’ll repurchase. I thought it would be like an oil cleanser, but one that travels better than a pump pack of oil. It does travel...

    When used properly (applied directly to face and massaged into skin without water) this is a nice gentle oil balm cleanser. I prefer using this as either a first step to remove makeup or solo in...

    I love this so so much. It really helps to get off all my makeup. I made the mistake of using it with water at first (do not do). Which made it ineffective. But after using it properly, it would...

    I bought this as a first step cleanser for traveling, because oils are tricky to pack and there’s always the risk of leakage. I usually buy the cleansing balm from Heimish, but because I love The...

    It is really an affordable primer that works great, it doesn't have an oily feeling and it doesn't leave the skin dry. Here is my video which shows how it removes makeup. (It's straight to the...

    I bought this after a huge disappointment of trying out a lot of cleanser since my previous cleanser is out and it cant buy it in Canada. I didnt expect it to be more like a makeup remover. It...

    I had ordered this from the Ordinary. I like that it is a balm-type cleanser that is in a squeeze tube as this is great for removing makeup and won't strip your skin. I imagine this would be great...

    I adore this cleanser. For reference I have combo/dehydrated skin. It does take a little bit of working into the skin before it becomes truly oily, but I use this as an opportunity for a little...

    I love having a balm/oil cleanser in a squeezy tube and not the typical tub style packaging for a change, although I wouldn’t exactly call this a balm or an oil cleanser. It looks, smells, and...

    I'm almost fifty, and I've finally got my rosacea-prone, acne prone skin to mostly clear up. I normally use La Roche Posay's Hydrating Milky cleanser, but it sometimes stings, and I thought, "Well,...

    As this is basically an oil balm but less solid and more creamy, I will be comparing this to one of the best, Banilla co. Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm (calling it CIZ from here on). First thing:...

    This is a think gel cleanser. The instructions say that it will become an oil when rubbed in your hands, but I've yet to have that happen for me. I end up spreading the gel on my face. On the plus...

    The Ordinary's new Squalane Cleanser wasn't the home run I was hoping it to be.  It's been awhile since Deciem's The Ordinary released a truly new product.  A cleanser was definitely something that...
