Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm — Reddit Reviews
by Farmacy
Updated October 1, 2026
Melts off waterproof makeup and sunscreen; cult-favorite first cleanse.
What the community says
An oil-balm first cleanse that emulsifies and rinses clean, built for makeup, SPF, and stubborn mascara. It suits double-cleansers and dry or sensitive-leaning skin. The catch is the heavy fragrance and citrus oils, which can flare rosacea or irritation.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
