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.

Not impressed
This product is so overpriced and such a gimmick like most of Glow Recipes products. It smells like plastic/ Vaseline all most and just wipes of as soon as it touches water wouldn’t recommend.

It smells like a fruity cheese snack
Once I opened the jar (love its matt color) I was brought back to my youth when mom gave me a pot of fruity cheese for a snack, hence I immediately loved its smell. I tested it with various types of makeup and I'm pretty satisfied as you don't need very much to remove any dirt. My only complaint is that with some kinds of mascaras and eyeliners the balm doesn't seem to be 100% effective. Anyway, I really appreciate that eyes don't sting at all.

Great cleanser for colder days
Love this. Not an emulsifying balm so a little more work to remove with a warm flannel but it’s been a fantastic cleanser for transitioning my skin from summer to fall. Despite my skin being on the oiler side, the cold weather and consequent central heating has me reaching for any products to introduce moisture and take away that tight feeling. This leaves my skin feeling nourished, spotlessly clean and it smells fantastic! Definitely deserving of a space in my regular rotation.

Not the best balm
I wanted to love this as I really like Glow Recipe, but it doesn't quite hit the mark for me. It smells lovely; the texture is really rich and luxurious; and it does remove makeup...BUT it doesn't emulsify properly! It goes a little milky but creates a slippery film on my skin when I try to wash it off, and I have to use a flannel to remove it. With a flannel it does come off fine, but I love the ease of balm cleansers that I can just rinse off (instead of the faff of having to have flannels lying around, washing them, etc.) I would absolutely love it if Glow listened to the feedback and re-formulated this slightly.

*joins my cleansing balm shelfie*
I love trying out new cleansing balms and it's not often that I buy one balm on repeat... but this one made the cut (I have another waiting on standby!). The texture is gorgeous and oh-so pleasing, the subtle scent is a joy that doesn't irritate my eyes - like others have. Whenever I use this I feel like I'm really treating myself and my skin. It's a lovely self-care moment and after rinsing, my VOTARY Face Cloths always come up clean so I'm 100% this removes every speck of my make up - as it should!

Lovely
Normally use Sunday Riley Blue Moon but felt like a change as is quite expensive, but this is lovely, Blue Moon never really got all my eye make up off but this does, work best with warm water and Muslin cloth obviously but smells lovely and is well priced. Will re-purchase for sure.

The BEST Glow Recipe product
I bought this for a first cleanse as part of a double cleanse routine (thanks James Welsh). Unlike some cleansing balms where you wash off quickly, this product works best if you emulsify with water and keep massaging for ~30 seconds. Otherwise this leaves a film that some other reviewers didn't like. This is also how the founders of GR recommend using it. I don't wear make up so I don't use a lot each time but I love using this product every night. This product has helped massively with gentle exfoliation around my beard hairs to completely stop all the ingrown/messed up hairs I used to have to extract daily. This is truly a godsend for my beardy manface and I will be rebuying again and again!
