Super gentle cleansing balm!
I LOVE this cleansing balm. Cleansing balms are usually my favorite way to remove makeup. In the past, I’ve used a few others including Farmacy’s Green Clean but I haven’t found one gentle enough to remove my heavy makeup around my eyes without irritating my eyes at the same time. While I always double cleanse after using a cleansing balm anyway, which would breakdown any leftover oil, I like that this balm doesn’t leave an uncomfortable film of oil on the skin. I would highly recommend this balm to anyone with sensitive skin or anyone that wears a full face of makeup regularly. It’s extremely gentle yet incredibly effective, especially for the price.

Why is there plastic in this?
Was really considering purchasing this as I love elf products......until I saw polyethylene in the ingredients list. Why, with all of the talk around plastic (which is what polyethylene is) and how damaging it is to marine life and water sources, would you put it in a product that's designed to be washed off of your skin? Really disappointed that elf couldn't find an alternative ingredient to use, and it's a shame, because the cleansing balm looks perfect for my skin type and it's decently priced. Hopefully elf see this feedback and think about reformulating this product.

The balm has a smooth, buttery texture that melts effortlessly into the skin, thanks to hydrating hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides. It removes most makeup effectively, though waterproof formulas may require a second cleanse. The light, fresh scent is pleasant, and the compact blue jar packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly.

Worth trying
This line is fantastic. I have been using this cleanser for a while now and I feel like it really does hydrate your skin. Even though this cleansing balm is supposed to be used to get rid of make up, I have been using this in conjunction with my salicylic acid. My face wash with the salicylic acid in it makes my face feel a bit dry, so when I use this product with it, I definitely notice a difference. Even though I don’t use this to wash off makeup because I do not wear makeup very often it’s definitely worth giving it a try if you’re using a harsher cleanser to get rid of acne to combat the dryness these type of cleansers may have. Definitely worth trying.

Removes waterproof makeup
Works really well to remove waterproof makeup. I like the little spatula that comes with it to reduce germs. Texture is typical as an oil. No scent at all which is a plus. Only complaint is it blurs my vision for a while after using on eyes.

Skin feels clean
*“I received the e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm in exchange for my honest review, and I’m so impressed! The texture is smooth and buttery, melting effortlessly into the skin to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. It removes even waterproof makeup without stripping my skin or leaving a greasy residue. After rinsing, my face feels soft, hydrated, and clean—not tight or dry. The formula is infused with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides, which help maintain moisture and support the skin barrier. The balm has a very light, clean scent but no overpowering fragrance, making it great for sensitive skin. Plus, it’s an affordable dupe for high-end cleansing balms! Light weight easy to carry. Very smooth skin effective active ingredient

An amazing product
Such a great cleansing balm for a double cleanse. This product was very effective without being harsh, great packaging as it comes with a spatula to use product. Such a great value as i’ve used more expensive balms that weren’t as effective! An amazing value as well.

Great choice for basic everyday makeup!
This balm works good for everything but mascara! It’s an oily feeling but it does work! It leaves your face smelling good. If you do basic makeup on a daily then this product is definitely work buying! It comes in a seal right container but it’s very light!

I used this once, as a quick fix, when I saw that my makeup was dry and cakey in a couple of areas on my face. It did the trick! (I did not realize that it had to be washed off.)

Results may vary depending upon the makeup you are trying to remove. For an extra-clean feeling, you may double cleanse: follow with your favorite e.l.f. cleanser.
