[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good cleansing balm. It rinses off well, is not drying and doesn't break me out. #sweepstakes

Not for me
Sadly this was not a win for me. I've never tried anything by this brand before. I've also never used a cleansing balm before although I'm familiar with how they work. Normally I double cleanse using oil to remove my makeup. I thought the cleansing balm would help skip a step. This didn't remove my makeup and as a result I had to scrub harder to get my makeup off. My face felt irritated and stripped. I've tried using varying amounts in case I was using too much or too little. Unfortunately, I couldn't make this work for me.

Thank you for your honest review, Krista. We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the Cleansing Balm. Balms are definitely a different style of cleansing product that can take some getting used to. We recommend dispensing about a nickel-sized amount, then massaging into dry or damp skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse to transform into a milk, then remove with a damp washcloth. If these tips don't help or if the product is just not what you're looking for, we do accept returns within 30 days. Reach out to Customer Service if we can help further (hello@indielee.com).

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.

Would not repurchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected a thicker more penetrating cleansing balm. This one is thinner in texture. It did not provide enough moister to remove impurities like I expected it to. The scent was not overpowering which was good compared to the other products I tried. I think some would enjoy this balm but it was not for me.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the Cleansing Balm! To add moisture to the balm, make sure you're applying to damp skin. You can add an additional splash of water once the product is on your face to create more of a milky cream, which may work better for you. Hope that helps!

Multi-Use Product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Worth a shot!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Love the product, not the container.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
