Cleansing balm

Not an AIBU bit just posting for traffic. I'm looking for a new cleansing balm for my face, needs to be a balm as other toes don't suit my skin. I used upcircle for ages but now it seems my skin is wanting a bit of a change to that one. And recommendations? Thank you 😍

I love Body Shop's chamomile balm.

Came on to say this. It’s brilliant, and smells nice, and lasts for ages 😀

I use the Heimish balm for daily use, Eve Lom for a special treat!

For something quite indulgent and a british brand - would highly recommend De Mamiel. Love their seasonal facial oils too, smell divine and my skin loves them.

I love Body Shop's chamomile balm.

Same

I have an M&S one &( teal green tub) but recently bought Pai light rosehip oil which is lovely.

Tried a mini of the Superdrug one but it smelled very basic and a bit off.
BodyShop Camomile is nice too

The Byoma balm is fab - smells great, funky packaging, reasonably priced.

I love the Clinique Take the Day off. But I've stopped buying it as it's expensive. I specifically like that it isn't fragranced.

I now use the Inkey List Oat Cleansing balm, which I do also like, if not quite as much as the Clinique one. It comes in a tube too which is more hygenic (although I always need to cut the tube open to get the dregs out).

I agree with @ilovecatsmorethancheese Clean Green is amazing and I love it. Contrary to all beauty experts' advice - my cleanser is the thing I spend money on as I just love it so much while I have all sorts of cheap and cheerful moisterisers and serums.

I also quite like the Body Shop Camomile one but it just doesn't have the same fabulous user experience.

The Elemis one is super popular and looks and smells amazing - just very very pricey.

I have heard good things about the ELF one and have been thinking of getting it to try as a back up.

I like the Farmacy ones, good price for something that lasts a long time.
I really don’t like the smell of the Emma hardie one, it’s too medicinal for me although it does the job.
I also love the dermalogica pre cleanse oil if I’m wearing makeup, really seems to break everything down and leaves my skin feeling very nourished.

Clean Green by Farmacy is my fav. Smells zesty and fresh and melts make up off easily without leaving a film on my face.

Icouldabeenalawyer · 17/08/2024 13:12

I’ve been using the inkey list cleansing balm for about a year. It’s lovely and gentle and melts my make up off. I’m prone to spots but no break out using it

Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice · 17/08/2024 13:04

I love Body Shop's chamomile balm.

Clinique take the day off

Offredismysister · 17/08/2024 12:58

I’ve tried Emma Hardie, Eve Lom, Elemis, Superdrug, Oskia & Then I met you.

I rated them all, Elemis is the one I keep coming back to as it lasts ages & is really luxurious. I felt the Superdrug one did the job but was a false economy as it doesn’t last 5 minutes.

MotherOfVizslas · 17/08/2024 12:52

Temple Spa 'In The Beginning' is gorgeous and my fave

Yardbird · 17/08/2024 12:50

Clinique take the day off, or Beauty Pie Japanese Fusion (in the pink tube).

Although now I want to try the Emma Hardie one!

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 17/08/2024 12:49

ELF or Emma Hardie depending on how much you want to splurge.

tsmainsqueeze · 17/08/2024 12:47

Elemis is lovely , M&S pure range is equal to it , both smell gorgeous and leave skin feeling cleansed and soothed .

itstimeforme · 17/08/2024 12:45

M and S Pure rose cleaning balm is really lovely

ihaveanaughtydog · 17/08/2024 12:43

The Elf cleansing balm is brilliant, as is the Sally Hughes/revolution one. Don't like the other revolution one though. It's too waxy.

magicmushrooms · 17/08/2024 12:39

White rabbit cleansing balm is ready nice.

ExplodingCarrots · 17/08/2024 12:34

I used Elemis pro collagen for years and yes it's great but then I found beauty bays chamomile and oat lipid cleansing balm and it does just as well for my skin for over more than half the price .

MsMajeika · 17/08/2024 12:30

The Superdrug Melting Cleansing Balm is incredible. I saw it on a This Morning segment and bought it based on how well it removed makeup. I'd never used one before so not sure if they all work this well, but I love it!
