I love cleansing balms and have tried numerous brands! Each of them claim to do a bunch of things for your skin, but it is hard to see the effects (except makeup removal). However, just take one look at the ingredient list and you will instantly be amazed. It has pure Vitamin C which restores and soothes, raspberry leaf extract which nourishes and tones, papaya extract which exfoliates, and various ingredients that are for anti-aging. With just one use, I could see my skin being polished (similar to Kate Somerville but cheaper). My skin feels moisturized! I can now skip toning, exfoliating, and even nourishing because this balm does it all in one easy step. It does a fantastic job at removing makeup during the evening! It is like getting 5 products for the price of 1. It is a pale pink color and comes with a spatula for easy, mess free application. It does look grainy in the container, but it spreads evenly like a balm and has a very light fragrance. Will purchase again!
