For Whom/What:

resulting in the cleanest skin

Extra Details:

Which One Actually Melts It All Without Wrecking Your Skin? If you’ve tried any of these cleansing balms, I want to hear your real thoughts. Which one actually removes everything without leaving a film or making your skin feel stripped? What’s your take on the texture, rinse-off, and how your skin feels afterward?

I’ve lost count of how many tubs of Farmacy Green Clean I’ve gone through at this point. It’s just one of those products that does exactly what you need it to — melts everything off (even waterproof mascara and sunscreen) without leaving that gross oily film. I’ve tried cheaper dupes and a few high-end ones, but nothing hits the same balance of texture + rinse-off. Plus the tub lasts forever, so it feels like a good value compared to other balms. It’s basically my non-negotiable step at night, and the reason I don’t dread double cleansing.

Banila Co Clean It Zero gets my vote! 🙌 

It was the first cleansing balm I ever tried, and honestly, I keep going back to it. The texture is super soft and buttery, melts down fast, and it actually takes off stubborn mascara without stinging my eyes. I use the original pink one, and it never breaks me out or leaves a weird residue. Plus, it's more affordable than the others, so I don't feel bad using it generously 😅 Solid K-beauty staple that does the job.
