The best cleansing balms for your skin type
Clean, not squeaky

Perfect for: All skin types
Dirt, makeup, and pollution on the skin are no match for this soothing cleansing balm. Simply rub into the skin at the end of the day to transform the balm into a luxurious oil that easily loosens makeup, then emulsify into a hydrating, milky cleanser with just a few drops of water.
PS: Avoid using the balm around the eyes as it is not ophthamologically tested.

Perfect for: Textured skin
Struggling with dry, flaky skin? Glow Recipe's cult-favourite cleansing balm harnesses the power of papaya enzymes to gently smooth and resurface skin while blueberry extract protects against environmental stressors. Plus, the smell... ahhh.

Perfect for: Stubborn eye makeup and sensitive skin
The brand's classic Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm now comes in an eye-safe, fragrance-free formulation! It applies as a nourishing balm, melts into a cleansing oil, and finishes off as a cleansing milk with just a little water. Sweet almond oil features front-and-centre for a deep cleanse that hydrates at the same time.

Perfect for: Normal to dry skin, acne-prone skin and stubborn eye makeup
This non-comedogenic cleansing balm by Dermalogica is the perfect companion for blemish-prone skin.

Perfect for: Acne-prone, dry, and dehydrated skin and stubborn eye makeup
If you're in search of a cleansing step that packs a punch with just a little product, Clinique is here for you. A little goes a long way with this cleansing balm—enriched with safflower seed, taking the day off is absolutely no problem. In fact, while you take the day off, you can protect your skin against breakouts, dryness, and environmental aggressors. Neat!

Perfect for: Oily skin
If you struggle with particularly greasy skin, allow us to introduce you to the ingenious, world-famous gel-balm cleanser by Eve Lom. Unlike most gel cleansers that leave your skin overly dry and cleansing balms that leave you too oily, this novel formulation works to keep you squeaky clean without the excess grease. Plus, the brand's signature blend of clove, eucalyptus, hops, and chamomile oil work to brighten and soften tired skin with every use.

Perfect for: All skin types, stubborn eye makeup
This biocompatible cleansing balm is a cult-favourite for good reason—the balm's blend of marula, baobab, kalahari melon, mongongo, and ximenia work to remove oil, grime, and makeup while nourishing the skin. Further, the fragrance-free formulation makes it perfect for use around the eye.
TIP: Add a shot of the included Bamboo Booster Exfoliant to polish your skin as you cleanse!

Perfect for: Oily to normal skin

This no-nonsense, oat-powered cleansing balm helps to soothe, cleanse, and hydrate skin, calming redness and skin irritation. Say goodbye to sad skin, and hello to your happiest complexion yet!

Perfect for: All skin types and waterproof makeup
Softer, smoother, and brighter skin—does that sound good to you? If so, allow us to introduce you to the Rosa Centifolia Purity Cleansing Balm by REN. Thanks to the brand's potent blend of chamomile, almond oil and rose flower water, this balm removes even the slightest traces of waterproof mascara, leaving you perfectly clean yet nourished.

Perfect for: Irritated skin
This gentle cleansing balm is made up of a soothing blend of nourishing cocoa butter and anti-inflammatory azulene-rich oils from blue tansy and German chamomile, plus an anxiety-reducing blend of vanilla and orange. It works to cleanse every last trace of makeup—yes, even on the eyes— and pollution left on the skin after a long day.

Perfect for: Ageing, dry skin
Sunflower and ginger root oil work together with moringa tree extract to purify and refresh the skin while papaya extract gently exfoliates dead skin. Further, echinacea purpurea harnesses its powerful antioxidant properties to protect skin against premature ageing. Oh, and it works pretty well against even the fullest face of makeup—cake face, begone!
