Unlike other cleansing balms, this doesn’t burn my eyes at all and I love that. This MELTSSSS your makeup and easily washes off. I love using this and my face feels so soft after.

This is my go-to makeup remover. This removes mascara like a dream. You literally just put some on a cotton pad, wipe your eye and it will come off. So so underrated AND SO AFFORDABLE (2.50)
