Add water to emulsify and continue to massage, and then thoroughly splash with lukewarm water to rinse.
Pro tip: Massage the formula onto dry skin with dry hands for up to 30 seconds. Add water to emulsify and massage it again for up to 30 seconds for the most effective make up removal. To double cleanse, use 1-2 pumps of Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser (sold separately), gently massage onto skin for up to one minute and rinse thoroughly with water. Follow with your usual skincare routine.

Better options available
I am a sucker for the packaging and fragrances of Glow Recipe, but this product just doesn’t do it for me. It is not effective at lifting my make-up and doesn’t wash off well - I have to wipe it off forcefully with a cloth then use another cleanser to remove the remaining traces and stop it from clogging my pores. I’ll be sticking to Farmacy Green Clean or Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel on future.

Amazing
I have bought this three times now. Each jar lasts me about 2.5 months and is honestly amazing. It doesn’t break me out and has helped massively with dehydration. This year made my skin break out really bad with closed comedones and these have almost completely disappeared. It’s improved the quality of the skin around any spots that I do have and has given a natural glow particularly around the cheekbones. Honestly will be buying this for a long time.

Wonderful cleanser
What an amazing cleansing balm. It simply dissolves makeup and not a trace is left on the skin. I simply rub it over my face dry and then rinse it off it. It gives a healthy glow and super clean feel. I'm glad to have tried it. Also, it’s a generous quantity and should last ages as u only need a small amount. Glow Recipe is a winner for me.

So so
Well, I was excited about this product when it first came out but it's not so good. I like the fact that it never broke me out (most of the stuff break me out) so that's good. It smells really nice also. The thing is, it melts makeup, but the eye and lip makeup kinda stick to the skin, just melted, you need to double if not triple cleanse to get every single residue of makeup off your skin. And it needs a lot, not just a scoop. Comparing to the drunk elephant cleanser it's nothing. I will finish this jar and I will re-purchase the drunk elephant for the 5-6th time.

Never breaks me out
I have combination/oily acne prone skin. I use make up and sunscreen everyday and this cleanser works amazingly on removing all of my make up and all the dirt of my face. Recommend this product for everyone! :)

Underwhelming
I had high hopes for this balm after reading glowing reviews, but unfortunately, this simply doesn't work for me. The packaging is the best part about it: it feels sleek and luxurious, and I love the scoop that comes with it. However, this doesn't emulsify properly and leaves an oily film on your face. I always double cleanse, so at first, I wasn't put off by this, but the oily film sticks to my hands as well. I need to wash my hands after using this because otherwise, my second cleanser won't foam properly, and therefore can't wash this balm off. It feels like a chore to use, rather than a pleasant experience. For the price, I had much higher hopes. I will be using this up so it doesn't go to waste, but I will not be repurchasing.

Best double cleanser
I have now purchased this twice! I get anxious if I will run out and I think that says it all. I have seen reviews which say it doesn’t get rid of make up and is too oily but I do think a little goes a long way with this product. I am a hug fan of Glow Recipe products and this is another essential to add to the collection. I do not double cleanse everyday so this lasts me a few months at least.

The best cleanser!
I’ve tried many a balm/oil based cleanser and this is hands down my all time favourite. It removes make up really well without stinging my eyes and doesn’t leave skin feeling tight. Really recommend!

Very underwhelming
I wanted to love this - a fruity smelling cleansing balm by glow recipe, sign me up! However, the scent was more like plastic than anything else and as a cleansing balm, it’s just very mediocre considering the price. Yes, it removes makeup but it doesn’t emulsify so you’re left scrubbing it off with a flannel because even after using a second cleanser there’s still film left all over your face. I’m glad I only had a tester size (which lasted for 6 uses) as getting through a full size of this would be a chore.

Amazing also for my oily skin
I was sceptical of putting something greasy on my oily skin, but I must say double cleansing is amazing thing. It removes the majority of the impurities from my skin and then I just follow with my foam cleanser. My skin looks so much better, I have less breakouts and skin is more hydrated. Definitely recommend.
