The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm to Remove Makeup and Cleanse Sensitive Skin 150ml

At the beginning I didn't like this balm because it had a very thick consistency which did not melt on my skin which meant lots of skin tugging, HOWEVER, one fine day I read the back unintentionally and realized I was using it WRONG! Here I was ignorantly thinking I've used balms before so of course I knew how to use this one... You actually have to wet your face first, and then massage onto your face where it gliiides and removes everything makeup, sunscreen, dirt...etc., then emulsify, then wash, then proceed with second cleanser and so on, et voila! Beautiful product!

Love this product....very gentle to my acne prone skin. No break-out plus affordable😍😍

Good consistency and removes build up and makeup well. But has a slightly weird smell.

Best makeup remover ever

Bought it because it was the cheapest cleansing balm available at the time and for someone who didn't wear makeup at the time, this was worth its price even though my eyes got really cloudy (seems to be common w cleansing balms). But now that I wear makeup it's really ahrd to work w. The amount of aggressive rubbing it takes to remover eyeliner makes my eyes sore and it absolutely cannot remove mascara. If you're not big on eye makeup then this product is fine (for removing sunscreen n stuff) but I will not be purchasing it soon. Also if you don't live in a warmer climate (went camping once) then it'll be really hard to work w thus cleanser cuz the product hardens inside the bottle, on the other side if it's hot then it melts and oil squirts out.

Good

Package looks weird :( but serial number isn’t fake so I guess I’ll try it and see the results

I just love it! It cleans my skin without drying it like other products. Update: Still loving this balsam! Does it leave a film on the skin? A very fine coat that feels like a shield for the skin to keep the necessary moisture in. I have sensitive combination skin with rosacea and this balsam, paired with a good day cream and SPF or night serum, it just makes it ...glow! No irritations, no dryness, nothing! The one negative I find is the pricing, compared to the original price but maybe this is due to Brexit?

Me encantó, justo estaba buscando y probando varios aceites y bálsamos para usarlos como primer paso de la doble limpieza y la fórmula amable de este y el como remueve los productos lo hace excelente como primer paso preparando tu piel para tu gel limpiador y tus ácidos ✌🏼

A million thanks to the Sephora team member who casually pointed me towards the INKEY list--the entire line has been blowing my mind! If you're looking for a nice, unfussy balm to take off your makeup before using another cleanser to wash your face (aka double cleansing), this is a fantastic option. I've tried all kinds of makeup removing balms from low to high price points, and the INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm is my new favorite. You get plenty of it for the price, which is great since I don't believe most brands when they say a dime-sized amount will take off all your makeup in every circumstance. Even if a little does go a long way, I wear a full face of makeup every day and need at least a quarter's worth of any balm to get everything off to my liking. This bottle is going to last me a good while, and it will go even farther for people who prefer the less is more model. More importantly, the formula is awesome, one of those simple and to the point gems. It's both gentle and very effective, a win/win for super sensitive/oily/prone to some serious hormonal acne skin like mine. It's a little thicker than some of the other balms I've tried, but that's been a plus for me. It feels like it's really gripping the makeup on my face rather than just slip-sliding around the top layers of it. This balm also just FEELS clean, if that makes sense--it's not chemical-y at all, it doesn't have any added scents, but it also doesn't smell too strongly or too strangely without them. Most makeup removing balms out there don't sting my eyes, but plenty do get into my eyes and leave a bit of a blurring film. It's another win/win situation with this balm: it removes every bit of makeup off my eyes (no morning raccoon eyes!) but doesn't stick around once I wipe it clean. For clarity, I do use a makeup eraser to wipe the balm off, which I think is a game-changing step no matter what balm you use. After I'm done double cleansing, my skin never feels tight, dry or itchy in between the cleansing and moisturizing steps, and the gentle formula in this balm is a big part of that. I've seen a couple reviewers who say their skin felt greasy after using the balm, but for my part, I've never experienced that. That might be more of an issue if you want to use this as a standalone cleanser, but my skin just feels soft and makeup-free when I use it, even before I reach for the cleanser to complete my double cleanse. In all, I love this simple and effective balm, and I'll definitely be adding it to my subscribe and save list. For the price and the quality, it's won me over from reaching for any other brand I've tried before.

I've had a few products from The Inkey List and loved them all, this one is no exception. A really great everyday cleanser that I can use am and pm. I actually got this as a cheaper alternative to the Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm and it's amazing but quite pricey. This is a great alternative... the texture is slightly different but still great and there isn't really a scent which is good for sensitive skin but doesn't make it a little less luxurious. It's also really good for taking off makeup and leaves your skin feeling clean, well balanced and moisturised. I just pop a small amount on the high points of my face and mix with a small amount of water to loosen then rub in circular motions... I then use a flannel or muslin cloth to remove the excess or sometimes leave on for a little while as a hydrating mask. Definitely will be buying it again and would recommend buying it if you're not sure about it because it's so cost-effective too.

I have really dry and super sensitive skin. Legit even water alone will hurt my face. This is legitimately the ONLY product I've ever used that doesn't hurt my skin. Plus, it leaves it feeling moisturized when I leave the shower. When I have a friend stay the night and use it, they always mention how nice it is. Con: hard to get the very last bit out
