A good cleansing balm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do recommend the cleasnsing balm by murad, because jts a really good, gentle cleanser that leaves the skin soft, hydrated and comfortable, though its not the best at removing very heavy or water proof makeup

What even is this? Not good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worst product I’ve ever used. Not a huge fan of Murad to begin with, but my goodness, this product is bad from the packaging to the texture to the actual function it’s supposed to perform. It’s super weird how you need to twist the container to shave off the balm - products like this screw you out of the little bits at the end, not like I’m going to get that far because I will not be using again, but still. Also, the texture is like Vaseline but worse? It didn’t remove any makeup and it didn’t clean my skin effectively. I’d stick with my regular cleansers and makeup remover. It’s almostttttt like Ponds, but I’d honestly prefer the Ponds cream cleanser to this. It doesn’t wash off easily and I’m afraid it’s going to clog my pores. I would not recommend. I have combination skin, and even on the driest areas, on the driest Colorado day, after being sick and blowing my nose, I still would not use this on the dry areas.

Twisting Cleansing Balm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product a few different ways, and the easiest method was massaging it in to remove my makeup before getting in the shower. The balm is thicker, but it comes out in thin pieces because of the packaging. Which is easy to use and to get the right amount with. The balm melts into your skin and breaks down whatever you have on your face and eyes really well. It doesn't foam or get milky. The balm wipes away with a cloth or just water. The only thing I dislike is the film it can leave over your eyes when just using it at the sink.

Really works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product really does wonders. it will remove waterproof eyeliner and mascara with ease. with hardly any rubbing. which is nice because removing eye makeup with a struggle will cause eye wrinkles and bags

Cleansing balm with genius packaging.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The twist dispenser for this cleansing balm is fantastic. I've used similar products but the balm is in a pot that just gets dirty. The breakdown of the makeup is great and perfect for a cleansing routine. Highly recommend this for makeup users.

Works really well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this is one of my favorite makeup removing balms. It works really well getting off stubborn makeup. It doesnt have a strong scent and doesnt break my face out!

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cleanser! It’s so easy to remove make up with this product! Great packaging making it easy to use- just open a lid a twist. I like the light, natural ingredients fragrance. At first it’s thick and it melts with a bit of water.
