Cleansing balm recommendations

Hi, looking for a non spendy cleansing balm recommendation. I've been using the Aldi hot cloth cleanser but they don't seem to be doing it at the moment. I've also used the bodyshop chamomile cleanser but no bodyshop near me now and it's out of stock on line. So any other recommendations in that sort of price range? Thanks!

Don't bother with Inkey list, it separates horribly and you either get gritty bits or oil.
I use REN that I buy on amazon. I also like Emma Hardie but it's pricier.

Also a big fan of the aldi hot cloth cleanser tho. I use balm in the same way, rub it on and then wipe it off with a hot flannel.

I agree,I binned it after one use,can't believe the love for it!

Am sorted thanks! Got the superdrug vit E and m&s one to try. Only had the biggest size of the Lush one so gave that a miss. Will see how I get on!

I’m not sure how much it cost, but I’m on my 2nd Elemis one.

A little goes a long, long way and it leaves my skin feeling so moisturised.

Blue tub nivea works well as a cleansing balm. I had allergic reactions calmed down really quickly just using that to clean my face.

I love the Inkey List oat cleanser - never had any of the issues mentioned BUT I haven't used it in over a year as I could never get hold of it (always sold out) so maybe they've changed the formula.

I switched to Superdrug B melting cleanser. Absolutely love it.

I use the ELF one, very similar to the Emma Hardie one in my skin

@70isaLimitNotaTarget Which M&S one is in the teal tub please? I've had a look but can't see one! Thank you 😊

Ah , I checked . The old one was in a teal green tub ( still as M&S one )
Now I have the Restore&Nourush one , its in a pink tub (but not rose one)

Ooh, thank you. I've just ordered this one to try.

Elemis Pro-Collagen is my absolute favourite but spendy. Sali Hughes Butterclean is gorgeous as an alternative.

I like Emma Hardie and The Body Shop camomile one. However, I prefer Inky List oat cleanser. Only niggle is that half of it stays at the top of the tube and I end up cutting it to extract loads of dregs... that aside, prefer it as a product.

Yes to Inky List Oat Cleanser and yes to it separating and being annoying. Still love it though.
