Amazing Cleanser!
I bought this cleanser on the recommendation of The Skimm newsletter. There were no reviews so I was a bit worried. I have struggled for years to find a decent facial cleanser and moisturizer. Especially when I need to wear a mask, my face breaks out and dries out. I LOVE this cleanser! I usually put it on and wait several minutes before washing off. My skin feels great and after just a week has cleared up. I didn't change my moisturizer, just this. It is smooth going on, feels good and it only takes a small amount. I have found my forever cleanser!

Its good
It is a good make up remover, but its notging special like i was expecting. ...
It is very expensive and the smell is ok, but i think i still prefer the pharmacy green cream cleansimg balm. I do think is worth trying if you are looking for a luxurious experience. I will not be repurchasing it. I will buy the pharmacy green cleansing balm

So nourishing!
I absolutely love love love this cleansing balm! It cleanses my face whilst still leaving it very nourished and doesn’t strip at all. I love the uplifting orange scent- it really improves my day. I look forward to using this at the end of a very long day!

Refreshing
I actually had a mini pot of this cleanser, and was suprised at how much i liked it. I like a scent to my cleansing balm, as i enjoy taking ny makeup off at the end of the day and take in the spa like smells! It melted into my skin perfectly and even took all my mascara off without scrubbing my eyes and didnt leave me with that fogginess you sonetimes get-
My skim felt clean and refreshed. I have went on to repurchase a full size.

Very nice but not unctuous!
I love a cleansing balm and I love that unctuous feeling of a rich balm that melts easily but maintains a bit of thickness to it - the Alpha H balm, whilst very good, just doesn’t have that. The fragrance of the balm is great and it really removes make up easily whilst washing off nicely with a damp cloth without residue. Quite pricy for the tub size but recommend.

Gorgeous gentle cleanser
I have just started using the Melting Moment cleansing balm for the first time. Beautifully fragranced, smooth texture, easily absorbs and removes all traces of make up and SPF. Leaves skin feeling soft and nourished. Would definitely recommend and will definitely purchase again.
