Most Helpful Positive Review Cleanses all my make up sins away! I would recommend this for anyone who uses make up everyday! I feel like it's important to cleanse the face first by loosening up the make up before washing it with your daily cleanser. This product easily does that for me! I have waterproof mascara and eyeliner and it definitely gets most of the residue out of my eyes! It can be a little messy, so i would recommend using a small amount at a time, it goes a long way! I didn't break out from it, if anything, it made my face less irritated compared to make up wipes I used before. Highly recommend!
Most Helpful Critical Review Heavy fragrance Does the job, but probably wouldn't buy again. Personally, I think the mix of oils in this creates a scent that is just too strong for me, especially for something that I'm putting all over my face. Also, be sure to read the instructions and rub the balm on your DRY face, then wash off with water! I initially was using it after wetting my face and noticed that it wasn't really taking anything off. I usually rub it in for about a 30 seconds to a minute (especially for eye makeup removal) and it seems to be a bit more effective that way. Just not in love with it, I'm definitely going to try a different brand after I finish up this balm.

My first cleansing balm and it is amazing. Love the way the product melts, it feels luxurious and very gentle. Cleans without stripping or leaving a film on the skin like some other cleansing oils.

Not for acne-prone skin 2
SunnySideUp from California
Be careful, the first ingredient is Ethylhexyl Palmitate which is a pore clogger. I did not do my due diligence and check before I chose the PHA (Sensitive Skin) version of this Hanskin cleansing balm. The AHA and BHA ingredient lists look safer for acne-prone skin like mine. I try to avoid fragrances but did not mind the citrusy scent of this product. I tried it as the first step in my double cleanse, and the second step (gel cleanser) was necessary as this balm does not rinse away with water alone.
Gentle cleanser for makeup removal. 4
Whitney from Oklahoma
I use this for makeup removal. I slather it on before I get in the shower at night to remove makeup as part of a double cleanse method.
Awesome for sensitive skin types! 5
Machri from Bellevue, WA
Finally found a cleanser that's worth it! All cleansers (even for sensitive, dry skin) leave my skin super dry and stripped. This one does not. The consistency takes some getting used to, but it's so creamy and leaves the skin exfoliated (yes, you CAN exfoliate sensitive skin!!) and hydrated.
I love this cleansing balm 4
Slimespawn from Phoenix, AZ
I love this product SO MUCH. I love Hanskin and after saying goodbye to an irritating cleansing oil, I was delightfully surprised that this worked really well for me. I always use this in a double cleansing system (use this first, rinse, then cleanser.) The only downside is it contains Polyethylene which is made from tiny bits of plastic which is bad for the environment.
Great product. 5
MMJL from Arlington Tx
Inexpensive, long lasting and very hydrating.
Would definitely recommend for makeup removal 5
Lauren from Santa Clara
Would definitely recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin for makeup removal! it's a solid consistency until you work it into your skin - didn't break me out at all even though i have sensitive skin, and effectively removed my waterproof mascara.
Amazing pre cleanse 5
C from Minnesota
I use this before I use my face wash, and it truly just helps soften the skin and preps it for a second cleanse. It helps break down mascara, primers, and eyeliners it a gentler way. No need for harsh scrubbing!
I love this balm! 5
Kayla from Denver, CO
This is my first time using a cleansing balm and I love it! It smells great and does a great job taking off my makeup. It feels like my makeup melts away and it leaves my skin feeling great. I've used it for about 6 weeks and my skill feels really moisturized and vibrant. In the past few days I've received several compliments on my skin (when I haven't been wearing makeup), which prompted me to write this review. I will definitely buy it again!

Not the best 2
Al from CT
I only wear a bit of concealer under my eyes and around my face with one layer of mascara and this product barely takes off my mascara and needs foaming cleanser to get the smeared makeup off my skin. When I dry my face, it feels like it sticks to my eyelashes and doesn't go away.
This is the only cleanser you need! 5
Angela414 from Boston, MA
I absolutely love this cleansing balm! It effectively removes makeup and doesn't leave my skin dry. This is by far the best cleanser I have ever used!
Great removing makeup and Lipsense lipstick 5
LA gal from Los Angeles
I use this product to remove makeup. It has a citrus smell which I like. I have sensitive skin so it works well for me. After cleansing, it leaves my skin moist and smooth. It also works well to remove Lipsense lipstick. Great product!
Great make up remover, but have not used it otherwise. 4
Combo Skin Customer from Los Angeles, California
I think this is a great make up remover but I have not used it otherwise. I definitely have to wash my face with another cleanser afterward because normal water did not work for me to wash it off.
10/10, would recommend! 5
Chris from Dallas, TX
This cleansing balm is awesome - very moisturizing but not too heavy. It works great with my sensitive skin. 10/10, would recommend.
I would recommend this product to a friend. 4
Evan from Dallas, TX
I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. It was very easy to use and it didn't make my skin dry. It's very easy to take off after use. There's a good amount of product which lasted a month of consistent daily use and especially for the price. I will be buying this product again!
This product is amazing 5
Soobin Bae from Los Angeles
This product was great! I use it before my foam cleanser and I feel that it really gets rid of all of the impurities built up over the day.
Yes, buy it 5
Briana from Tracy, ca
At first I was a little skeptical on a balm to remove my make up but once I started using it for a couple weeks it has been my go to every single time I wear make up! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft and I have never broken out from it!!!! I pick this over using make up wipes or any type of removing water! Also has an amazing smell! I will definitely be buying more when I run out! Which won't be for a while because a little goes a long way!!
MELTS makeup off 5
Grc822 from Oregon
this is such a great cleansing balm. only very little is needed to melt all the makeup and dialy impurities off your face!! super gentle yet powerful to get your face in a nice clean state, ready to be washed off with a second cleanser. my sister has SUPER sensitive skin and she LOVES this, she takes my cleanser and uses it all the time haha. and the smell is a refreshing ylang ylang/citrus smell
Great gentle make up remover 5
Chiara from Eugene
This product is so gentle on skin. I have sensitive skin and this was perfect for me, it melted my make up away in seconds and it smells sooo good. Plus it will last for a while since you don't need much to remove make up. I definitely then use a cleanser to remove all the residues but this definitely removes most of it.
Highly recommend! 5
Ari from Phoenix, AZ
I have been using the Hanskin Pore Cleansing Balm for three weeks now. I love the citrus smell and it melts my make-up away after a long day! Very refreshing! It also comes with a helpful applicator.
Great Product! 5
Lexi from Tracy, CA
To be honest, I wasn't sure how to use this product. I first used before going to bed, with the product still on my face while I slept. However, the outcome of me sleeping with the product on still helped with the dryness of my skin. After using a cleanser for my skin, I use the product in addition to my skincare routine. I notice that the pimples and bumps on my skin diminish, closing my pores.
Great makeup remover! 5
BP from Portland, OR
I have been using this for several weeks and I love the results! A small amount of the cleansing balm goes a long ways and leaves my face feeling moisturized. I would buy this again!
You need this product! 5
Emily J from Bay Area
This is one of the best make up removers i have ever used! I used this product for a couple of weeks now and I use make up pretty often. Usually make up wipes can irritate my skin leaving redness and irritation. This pore cleansing balm is a gentle make up remover and it makes my face feel so clean after use. A little does go a long way with this product! It really does give me a glass skin look without make up! A must-have!
