What it is: An award-winning formula with a unique blend of four aromatic oils that cleanses, decongests and removes makeup without stripping the skin.
Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types.
What it does: Eve Lom revolutionized the skin care world 25 years ago when she created the first-ever balm cleanser. Designed to be used with the unique EVE LOM Muslin Cloth, the cleanser helps improve circulation, open pores, cleanse, exfoliate and tone the skin in just minutes for a smooth and radiant complexion. Its Egyptian chamomile oil softens and soothes, clove oil encourages clarity, eucalyptus oil decongests, hops oil tones and cocoa butter conditions.
Key ingredients: - Clove oil: stimulates blood flow and rejuvenates dull, dry skin - Eucalyptus oil: helps soothe and smooth skin - Hops oil: antioxidant rich, softens and conditions - Egyptian chamomile oil: may provide powerful visibly soothing properties - Cocoa butter: a rich emollient that's high in fatty acids
How to use: Use once per day for normal/dry skin types. Use twice a day—morning and night—for congested skin. Massage a small amount onto the face and neck over dry skin. Fill your basin with warm water and immerse the muslin cloth in it. Squeeze off excess water, then hold the cloth over your face and neck for a few seconds while taking a deep breath. The heat will soften your skin and open your pores, allowing the aromatic oils to cleanse your skin of impurities. For optimum results, repeat this stage three times. Fold the hot, rinsed cloth into a square and work it in small circular movements across your face and neck to remove all traces of cleanser and makeup. The muslin cloth will gently exfoliate your skin and encourage healthy blood circulation. Finally, rinse the cloth in cool water and hold over your face and neck. This helps close your pores and give your skin a more even, toned appearance.
0.68 oz. size includes half a muslin cloth; 3.3 oz. size includes 1 full muslin cloth; 6.8 oz. and 15.2 oz. sizes include 2 full muslin cloths

With a belief that every woman is a work of art and that skin care should reveal her brightest and most radiant complexion, EVE LOM first developed its iconic cleansing balm more than 25 years ago. Today, the beauty brand continues to engineer a collection of cleansers, creams, moisturizers and serums that utilize natural botanical elements to gently exfoliate, stimulate and moisturize the skin.
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a person who has to run out and buy the most expensive thing out there. There are products that I choose to spend more money on and products that I know that I'll be just as happy with even if they came from a drugstore.
I use a Clarisonic Mia religiously, and I have been looking for a balm cleanser that rinses cleanly enough to use with my Mia. I hadn't found the right one so I had been using my Mia with a mild liquid cleanser every other day in the shower, and in the evening I used a balm cleanser from a British drugstore line.
I was intrigued by the Eve Lom. I googled videos for usage instructions and reviews and decided it was a must try. This is the PERFECT balm cleanser. It rinses more cleanly than any balm cleanser I've tried. It isn't stripping (and there comes an age when all women need to be gentler with their skin!). And here is the big thing for me, I was able to evenly dispense the Eve Lom cleanser with my fingertips, use my Mia, and completely rinse the balm from my Mia brush with no residue left behind.
(After massaging the balm in with the Mia, I follow the Eve Lom instructions for use with the muslin cloth.)
I can't believe the way my skin looks since I started using the Eve Lom. It's incredible. And yes, I'm totally willing to pay the big bucks for the big tub!

Eve Lom Cleanser: Overrated, Underwhelmed
Got a sample after reading about this product. Smells awful, looks awful, dislike the process of using, reusing and rinsing a wet cloth for my sensitive skin with an oily, gloppy dark brown substance that contains five parabens. I love easy to use fresh smelling cleansers morning and night. This isn’t it.

Decent cleanser but...
I like the smell and the texture...it seems to be a love/hate kinda thing. The issue I have is this: Why does a cleanser for which top-shelf price is charged have a cheap filler (mineral oil) as its first ingredient? If it's been around 25 years, with all the advances in research and all the competing balm cleansers out there, surely Eve Lom could have risen to the occasion with an improvement in the formula. If they can't be bothered to make improvements, then I can't be bothered to repurchase. I'm fine with spending my hard earned $$ on another skin care line.

Don't understand the hype
I just don't understand the hype around this cleanser. I've been using it for about a week, and while I love the scent and enjoy the ritual of the process, I just haven't seen any particular benefits that would justify the expense. I do like the muslin cloths, so I will keep using those after I am done with the cleanser, but I will be going back to my old standby philosophy real purity cleanser.

SMELLS HORRIBLE!
I got some samples of this and tried. It cleaned alright, not better than my favorite mac cleanse off oil or any other average makeup remover. But the smell!! It's like gasoline mixed with rotten organism in a forest, just horrible. As someone who is not at all sensitive to the smell of any other skincare product or makeup, I simply can't stand it.

So, SO great.
I bought this stuff because a make-up artist I follow on YouTube recommended it, and because of the glowing reviews on the Nordstrom website. For once, I can say that a pricey product lives up to the hype! Normally I choose to spend more money on my moisturizer and less on my cleanser, and I generally stick to whatever gentle stuff I can find for under $10 since my skin is fairly normal, BUT, man oh man, THIS stuff is great. Normally I have a couple of red-ish patches around my chin, and I had a blemish/ dry patch or two in that area when I started using this last week. The redness is basically gone, not more dry patches, and the blemishes are getting better and not popping up in other places on my chin (which usually happens). The cleanser smells like cloves and chamomile tea, which makes since because that's what's in the stuff. I've basically stopped using concealer/foundation in the usual spots on my face, so I am one happy girl!
