First time trying this I was very very impressed because my skin was so clear after using this as first cleanser. But just after I washed my face I spotted one big acne ready to pop out any time. I used this product for a week and I almost got more than 10 acnes. What I did wrong, despite the non-suitable ingredients was that I used it for am and pm routine. Probably it's too much for my skin to handle.
However the breakout is so memorable that I have a note in my mind not to try balm cleanser ever again. Though, right now I'm looking for an oil cleanser as the first cleanser, because using micellar water just didn't clear up my pores and it's annoying.
Then again, after I checked skincarisma, it finally logical why the product didn't suit my sensitive skin. Duh. Honestly I kinda wish my skin would react otherwise, because I have never seen a cleanser removes all my blackheads away like Heimish did.
The only budget cleanser I've tried that completely washes off and doesn't leave a residue. Brands that I've tried that do leave a residue after washing off with water are the Biore Cleansing Oil and the FaceShop Rice Water Bright Rich Cleansing Oil.
I do only this step when I wake-up in the morning, but I still have to exercise just so I don't have to use a foam based cleanser twice in the morning (before and after exercise).
The main reason why I also tried out this brand was because it's considered as clean beauty, but really does a powerful job of making your skin feel extra clean and refreshed without drying it all out.
I had high hopes for this balm because everybody said it was amazing but I didn't like it.
It was good to remove sunscreen but only this.
I don't feel that it cleans my skin well, it does not remove heavy makeup - especially waterproof mascara - and it makes my vision blurry.
I also don't like the texture, feels waxy - kind cheap.
