I love this product
This is the only makeup remover that doesn't bother my eyes. It's not drying and it removes all my heavy makeup including waterproof mascara with ease.

I have this cleansing balm for a while and I love it. I have tried other brands and irritates my eyes. I would definitely keep buying it
This product is great.
This product is wonderful. Definitely will buy again
