Skin care doesn't have to be confusing. The INKEY List is on a mission to debunk beauty jargon and put the power of knowledge in your hands. Its straight-talking range includes all the industry's best-loved heroes (from retinol to hyaluronic acid) in no-frills formulations that deliver incredible results. A case in point is the Oat Cleansing Balm (150ml), a hydrating, nourishing formula that melts away make up and impurities without drying the skin.
Want to dabble in the world of double-cleansing but unsure where to start? Allow The INKEY list to simplify this with the luxurious Oat Cleansing Balm (150ml).
Brimming with oat kernel oil, this rich face wash breaks down make up, SPF and impurities, while gently cleansing the skin and reducing the appearance of black heads... making it the ideal first step in your skin care routine. Its non-drying, non-stripping formula also features soothing colloidal oatmeal, which is especially suitable for those looking to minimise the appearance of redness or have sensitive skin.

Melts away makeup
This cleansing balm is a holy grail product for me. I have oily/combination skin so I use this as a first step to a double cleanse routine. This melts away makeup and SPF with ease, no scrubbing required. After rinsing it leaves a slight balmy feel, almost like a protective film. I’d imagine if you have dry skin this would work on its own however I follow with a gentle foaming cleanser. My skin feels hydrated and clean without that squeaky, stripped feeling. I recommend this to everyone I know!

One of the best affordable cleansing balms
Absolutely love this cleansing balm - I think I’m onto my third tube! It’s super affordable but does the same job as higher end balms. It’s really gentle and suitable for irritated and dry skin too.

Best cleanser
This is the best and most reliable cleanser I've come across. I've tried different cleansers but I always come back to this one as it's so gentle on the skin but manages to remove everything and leaves my skin feeling soft, moisturised and looking brighter. I love the inkey list I just wish the packaging could be more sustainable!

Really rich cleaner
Really like this cleanser. Nice texture. Gentle enough to use over eyelids (unless they are overly sensitive) and emulsifies makeup well.

Leaves a greasy film on skin
I wanted to love this as I have heard good things about the brand and they have an attractive price point. Sadly the cleanser leaves a greasy/waxy film on the skin. It is only appropriate as a first step in a double cleanse but this is not stated anywhere on the description or the packaging. I don't double cleanse so sadly it is practically useless to me.

50/50
I’m not really sure about this one, yes it’s great at removing foundation etc. from the face however I can’t put it near my eyes. Maybe I just have sensitive eyes but I struggle removing my mascara with this as it always gets in my eyes and it burns.

Packaging change ruined the product
I used to love this cleanser for a gentle, daily cleanse (not great at make-up removal though). Oat is also good for sensitive skin, and I like a balm in a tube. However, the brand recently changed their packaging and I feel that the value of the product has changed with it. I know this doesn't seem to make sense, but hear me out. The tube is now made of much harder, much more rigid plastic. Since the balm is thick, you do need to squeeze it out of the tube with enough strength. However, with the new packaging it is bow much more difficult, and you end up having to use all your might to get some product even if you've just opened it. If you're getting near the end a lot of product gets wasted too because you can't squeeze the tube enough to get it out. I am very disappointed because this is not very inclusive at all. I can't imagine people with any kind of disability or impaired motor skills be able to use it. And even for an able-bodied person, the user experience is atrocious and the waste is greater.

Cleanser
So I have re bought this product and over time my opinion has changed. I originally thought it was a great cleanser but over time it has started to feel bitty and the cleanser has separated even when you shake it every time. I think there are better cleansers out there for only a bit more money.

Great but leaves a waxy feeling
Excellent makeup removing capabilities, however feels like it leaves a waxy residue at the end. I use Alpha H face washes mostly and this removed makeup better. Need to follow-up w/ moisturizer. Probably great for travel when you dont want to carry too many cleansing products.

Great as part of double cleanse
This melts off the days makeup no problem and feels hydrating. I do have to double cleanse with this though as it’s leaves an waxy feeling left on the skin after rinsing off. But I like a double cleanse routine so that’s ok.
