This cleanser's the balm (get it?). Melt away makeup and impurities with this skin-smoothing balm. Vitamin C-rich Kakadu Plum and Acerola Fruit help boost radiance and reduce the visible signs of aging. Illawara and Burdekin Plums provide antioxidant benefits while Abyssinian and Meadowfoam Seed oils soften, smooth and condition for a nourishing glow.

90ml/3 fl oz

Why It Works

Rich in fatty acids, Meadowfoam Seed Oil works to soften the skin for a smoother complexion.
Kakadu Plum totes a high concentration of Vitamin C to promote skin brightness while its antioxidant properties help protect the skin from environmental stressors.
A natural source of Vitamin C and antioxidants, Acerola Fruit moisturizes for smooth, supple skin.
Abyssinian Oil easily absorbs into the skin for non-greasy moisture that sinks into the skin.

How to Use

Massage into dry or damp skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse to transform into a milk or remove with damp washcloth and enjoy the glowy results.

Includes a metal "key" to help dispense product and get every last drop. To use, insert the seam end of the tube into the slot, then twist or roll the key towards the tube opening to advance product.

Reviews

This balm is the BOMB

"I am obsessed with this cleaner! I use it twice daily and my skin has never looked and felt this good. I have very dry skin and I love the way it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight after I rinse it off. A little bit goes a long way!!"

— Joy K. (5/5)

Good experience and leaves my skin smooth.

"I like the cleansing balm, but I find it doesn’t always remove all of my makeup until after I then use the brightening cleanser after."

— Shirley R. (4/5)

Balm

"Love it. My skin feels great since using the balm."

— Nancy Y. (5/5)

Skip

"Not my favorite product, feel like I need to double cleanse after this"

— Madeline S. (3/5)

Impressed

"This is a very good cleansing balm. It rinses off well, is not drying and doesn't break me out. #sweepstakes"

— Nikkie (5/5)

Feel and smell

"If a product doesn't smell good I won't use. This cleansing balm smells awesome- subtle wholesome, natural, scent. My skin feels so soft and glowing after use. So glad I tried this product. Use the brightening cleanser in morning and this at night."

— Michel (5/5)

Removes Makeup

"Great for removing makeup"

— Amy (5/5)

Multi-Use Product!

"This is a great makeup remover that doubles as skincare. After a week of use, I saw a difference (for the better) in my skins tone and texture. Baby. Smooth. No overwhelming scent, and great texture."

— Samantha (5/5)

Love the product, not the container.

"Love this product and I use it on my face, neck, chest and hands. Keeps my skin soft and supple. I'm not in love with the packaging. I tried using the key to roll the end down to get all the product to the top, but the container cracked after a few uses once rolled, and the product oozed out the sides."

— Christine (4/5)

Worth a shot!

"I love this cleansing balm. It works very quickly. The only thing that is troublesome is the cap on the tube. If this was in a different package, I would repurchase. I had to fumble too much to get the cap back on. Otherwise, another great product from IL."

— Ami (4/5)

Q&A

Would this be fine to use alone or should it be the first step in a double cleanse?: Cleansing Balm can absolutely serve as your stand-alone cleanser! Double-cleansing helps to remove long-wearing makeup and SPF, but it's not required. :)
What is the metal spatula for? Is this something that is supposed to assist with the overall cleansing step or a random add to the purchase? Thanks: Hi there! The metal piece is actually a tool to help dispense the product. You insert the end of the Cleansing Balm tube through the slot and then roll it towards the opening to advance the product. There is a little video on how to use the key on the product page if you're interested!
Can this cleansing balm be used as a mask also?: Thanks for the question! While there is no harm in using Cleansing Balm this way, there isn't really an added benefit. The magic happens when it's combined with water, so instead of leaving on as a mask we would recommend just spending extra time massaging the product in circular motions. If you're looking for a cleanser-and-mask-in-one, our Brightening Cleanser is specifically formulated for that. Hope that helps!
My skin has been going through some change post COVID. Products that my skin once loved now irritate it. Is this line compatible with sensitive skin? Do you or will you soon offer this line in sample / travel sizes? So I can try without committing to a full size. Thank You: Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear your favorite products are no longer working for you. If you're aware of specific ingredients that are causing irritation, you can crosscheck those with the ingredient lists on our product pages. Cleansing Balm is especially formulated for dry or mature skin, providing fatty acids, Vitamin C and antioxidants for smooth, supple glow. It is a mild, non-stripping cleanser. We do have a Sensitive Collection of products if you're interested, as well as two free samples shipped with every order (some retailers may also have testers and samples). For those with sensitive skin, we generally recommend adding only one new product at a time and doing a patch test first. If any products don't work out, we accept returns within 30 days. Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help!
I don't see a size… how big is this container?: Hi Britta, thank you for your question! Our Cleansing Balm tube is 3 ounces (90 mL).
