Not impressed

I was really excited to try this, but my expectations turned out to be too high. The reason I gave this 2 stars is because it did remove my makeup well, did not burn my eyes, and there is a lot of product for the price. However, I will not be repurchasing this due to the horrible chemical smell, the lumpy/clumpy-ness of the product, and it is so hard to rinse off. I have used many cleansing balms, and this one is the only one I have had this hard of a time rinsing off. Once you emulsify it with water per the directions, it turns VERY waxy and does not want to come off. I end up having to use a washcloth to remove it which is more irritating for my sensitive skin. I would say as a cleansing balm, the ability for it to emulsify is very poor. A lot of the reviews are raving about this product, but I genuinely think you are better off finding something else. I never leave reviews either, this was bad enough that I felt compelled to write one.

Not meant for your eyes

Easy to use product and was excited for the all in one feature. However, the product burned my eye and now I have puffy eyes and pink eye. Marketed for face and eyes but just like the other posts, DO NOT put it on your eyes.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Burns all over my face and eyes.

Awful. I have burns all over my face. It’s itchy and patchy. I switched all of my make up and brushes and realized the one thing I didn’t change was this product. Would not recommend.

Not good

Just an awful product. Doesn’t work well. The scent is off putting, the texture isn’t as smooth as I’d like, and it leaves a weird film on my skin. Overall I do not recommend this product.

An extra step

I don’t normally use a cleansing balm. This product did effectively remove my makeup. After using I did wash with my normal cleanser. Overall it’s just an extra step for me as my regular cleanser generally removes ,y makeup well.

Hello nicolec474. thank you for sharing your experience with the Erase It All Makeup Cleansing Balm with Hyaluronic Acid. We are pleased to hear it worked well removing your makeup, we're just sorry to hear it didn't cleanse as fully as you were hoping for. Ideal for dry and sensitive skin, this may work better as part of a double cleanse for those with less dry skin. This cleanser has a firm texture that becomes a milky, soothing cleanser when water is added to the face. It soothes and hydrates without stripping the skin. Works to gently cleanse to quickly remove dirt, impurities, SPF, and makeup.
