Most Helpful Positive Review Satisfying dupe for Clinique I'm very pleasantly surprised with this cleansing balm. My all-time-favorite is the Clinique Take the Day Off balm, but I wanted to see if I could find a similar product for a bit cheaper. Behold Good Molecules. The associate at my local Ulta forewarned me she had heard great comments about this product but did not believe it was comparable to Clinique, but I'm here to tell you yes - if you like the Clinique balm, definitely give this one a try. I like using it for my waterproof mascara and sunscreen, and it takes the smallest bit to remove everything. I have angry, dehydrated rosacea skin and this doesn't irritate it at all. If I get it in my eyes, there's no stinging nor a film left on my eyeballs for the next hour or so - it rinses right out. A really great value! I personally enjoy the tin; it's pretty cute and I've not had any issues screwing it back on, and the plastic spatula is a nice touch. I no longer have to reuse my magnetic spatula from my Farmacy moisturizer on my cleansing balms.
Most Helpful Critical Review Worst cleansing balm I've ever used If this smelled like coconut I would swear it was coconut oil because that's what it feels like. There is no perfume smell to it which I would normally think is a good thing, but the lack of smell almost makes me sick, it's like a faint smell that I just can't put my finger on but I don't like it! It does work and it does remove your makeup and acts as a cleansing balm but it doesn't emulsify when you add a little water like the other balms. So it's a little more difficult to get off of your skin. I will not be trying this balm again. Felt like I was using a cheap dollar store product.

Best makeup remover ever 5
Nat from North Carolina
This is my new favorite thing to remove my makeup. It melts it away instantly and doesn't make me break out. It's comparable to the dermalogica cleansing balm, except this one is a fraction of the price and doesn't make my eyes sting! So good!!
Love it 5
Luis from Florida
Its a very good product it took all my sunscreen off and its very unexpensive
Best product ever!! 5
summer from ennis texas
I love this product it was a random gift that my boyfriend got me for valentine's day but it has helped so much i've always struggled with dry skin (i couldn't wear makeup on my forehead) but this product has not only made my skin soft but has cleared it too!
Not a great value. 3
Nik from APO
This product works really well however, the amount of money you pay just isn't worth for the amount of product you get. Elf definitely surpasses this in every way. I wouldn't re-purchase this product again only because I didn't think I was getting my moneys worth.
don't sleep on this brand 5
EBeth from KC
oh my gosh what an amazing product for the price! makeup melts away but your money won't.
Clean and Dry! 5
Louie Kaboom from Nashville, TN
I love using this product! The little spoon makes it easy to use only as much as you need, and the application is smooth and feels like nothing on the skin. It does a fantastic job of getting all my makeup off one try, and my T-Zone has never felt better. I usually use Good Molecules' Discoloration Correcting Serum and my nice Ordinary moisturizer afterward and my skin has slowly but surely been clearing up!

Works just as good as Clinique's for half the price & with better ingredients < 3
Great product, packaging needs work 4
MH5614 from SouthWest USA
I have combo skin and larger pores. If I don't cleanse my makeup off well I break out. I do double cleanse so I use this to remove my face makeup before I jump into the shower and then rinse it off. Most days I do is a foaming cleanser after. I have to admit if I'm lazy or forget it's still not a tragedy, no bad reactions. I was hesitant to try but it works great and I've had less breakouts and I attribute it partly to removing all traces of face makeup.
I love it!!!!! 5
Yaritza from Texas
Easy to remove the makeup & easy to apply
Amazing !!! 5
Ruthdelyn from Florida
Always I use the cleansing balm from Clinique but I give a try different one and this one is a BOMB!!
Leaves a film on skin 2
Ki from Denver
Not the best. I will start by saying, yes I double cleanse. This has no smell, but I feel like I need a lot of product for it to actually work. I prefer bare minerals oil cleanser or Clinique take the day off.
Good stuff! 5
rachelkay from NY
I bought this because I have been having a reaction to makeup removing wipes and this had great reviews. I am not disappointed. It took off ALL of my makeup and my face felt moisturized after with none of the redness, itchiness, or pain that I was getting from wipes.
I love it just 1 problem 4
Lily from New york
I like this balm a lot it make my skin feel nice and hydrated and gets all my sunscreen and makeup off.The problem is that I got cut a couple times by the lid.Please change the lid it always happens and it really annoys me.I love using this balm but I get scared to use it cause I don't want to get cut again.Other then that it is a good price for how good it is.
OBSESSED 5
bananagrams from dekalb
i've never tried a cleansing balm before because i've always been nervous to put greasy feeling things on my face, but i really loved this. it made my skin feel very clean and i didn't feel greasy or oily after.
The perfect cleansing balm! 5
Lili from New Brunswick, NJ
I love this cleansing balm! It's the best one I've tried yet. It gets my sunscreen and makeup off easily. After following with a cleanser there is no residue and it's not irritating at all. And low waste!
BOMB! 5
Dee from Florida
Not sure what 'film' I've seen from other ppl who've reviewed this product.. not sure if they're not rinsing properly, if their water needs a filtration device, if they're not using a rag or what.. bcuz even tho this goes on milky/smooth/creamy, it rinses away SPOTLESS! Yes, it really does leave the skin clean, hydrated, make up off (even waterproof mascara), doesn't feel tight or dry.. you know how some cleansers will leave ur skin so tight that when you open your mouth or smile, u can see the creases in your skin? Yeah, this doesn't do that & moisturizes all in the same.. LOVE IT!
Cleans without stripping and is so hydrating 5
Tera from NC
I love this product! It really does a great job of removing makeup and breaking down waterproof mascara. It leaves my sensitive skin soft and not irritated and feeling hydrated.
Its Okay 3
Jocelyn from Washington
I like the price point and it works, I just hate the film it leaves on your eyes from getting mascara off. I wanted to try this brand so I didnt purchase my regular cleansing balm from Derma which I love. If you want to remove most face makeup its an okay choice.
Suprisingly loved this balm! 5
Ashley K from Dallas, TX
I use this to clean my makeup off at night and was looking for something that wouldn't leave my skin dried out afterwards. I love how the balm just melted onto my skin, and off the makeup went. My face felt so soft afterwards, and hydrated.
great! 5
Sarah from Missouri
I just wanted to try a cleansing balm that was t going to break the bank. I love the texture, feel, and smell of this. I want to try some others, buy I'll def come back to this for the price point.
Amazing melting balm! 5
Lydia E from Queens, NY
Love this melting balm - it just absorbs right into your skin leaving it so soft while removing all your makeup and dirt. I have sensitive skin and have no reaction - so great product!
Change the lid☠️ 4
Mirandamarie from Nashville
Love the product itself. Comes with a spatula, great price but with wet hands I sliced my finger that was too low while tightening the lid. It's a raw metal edge not the best design. It's fine just have to be careful you keep all your fingers towards top of lid.
