Solid cleansing balm effectively removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen; pricey and sometimes irritating.

What the community says

This solid cleansing balm melts waterproof mascara and sunscreen without overly drying skin, popular as a first cleanse step. It suits dry to sensitive skin but has a known reformulation that irritated some users. Price may be a barrier for casual use.
