Super gentle cleansing balm!
I LOVE this cleansing balm. Cleansing balms are usually my favorite way to remove makeup. In the past, I’ve used a few others including Farmacy’s Green Clean but I haven’t found one gentle enough to remove my heavy makeup around my eyes without irritating my eyes at the same time. While I always double cleanse after using a cleansing balm anyway, which would breakdown any leftover oil, I like that this balm doesn’t leave an uncomfortable film of oil on the skin. I would highly recommend this balm to anyone with sensitive skin or anyone that wears a full face of makeup regularly. It’s extremely gentle yet incredibly effective, especially for the price.

Why is there plastic in this?
Was really considering purchasing this as I love elf products......until I saw polyethylene in the ingredients list. Why, with all of the talk around plastic (which is what polyethylene is) and how damaging it is to marine life and water sources, would you put it in a product that's designed to be washed off of your skin? Really disappointed that elf couldn't find an alternative ingredient to use, and it's a shame, because the cleansing balm looks perfect for my skin type and it's decently priced. Hopefully elf see this feedback and think about reformulating this product.

It’s alight
I like this. It’s my least favorite of the line because it does leave a residue behind on my skin and I have to go back and double cleanse. It doesn’t have an unpleasant. The packaging is nice. I like it, but I’m not sure if I will re-purchase it when I’m done with it.

High quality make up melting face cleaner
I received the make up melting cleansing balm, my wife uses it while showering and it seems to do its job effectively. The packaging as said before was durable and well organized. All of the ELF products seem high quality for the right person.

Best affordable melting balm
I wear a good amount of makeup daily and my least favorite part is taking it off. Especially my eyes. This melting balm makes it so much easier and faster to get it all off. My only complaint is that my eyes get super blurry. It doesnt burn though, so thats a plus.

Nice makeup remover!
I’m not the biggest fan of cleansing balms but it’s good for what it is! If you like these types of makeup removers, you’ll enjoy this especially for the price.

Melts my makeup right off
This cleansing balm is seriously a game changer. As soon as I scoop a bit out and rub it between my fingers, it melts into a silky oil that glides over my skin. It breaks down all my makeup—foundation, mascara, sunscreen—everything melts off so easily without me needing to tug or scrub. What I love most is how gentle it feels. My skin doesn’t feel stripped or tight after rinsing—just soft, clean, and hydrated. The fact that it includes hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides makes it more than just a makeup remover—it’s actually nourishing my skin while cleansing. No stinging, no weird residue, and no strong scent. It’s effective, soothing, and affordable. If you want a balm that melts your makeup and treats your skin kindly, this is it.

I used this once, as a quick fix, when I saw that my makeup was dry and cakey in a couple of areas on my face. It did the trick! (I did not realize that it had to be washed off.)

Results may vary depending upon the makeup you are trying to remove. For an extra-clean feeling, you may double cleanse: follow with your favorite e.l.f. cleanser.
