Oat Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm — Reddit Reviews

Oat oil balm that melts sunscreen and makeup; thick and residue-prone.
What the community says
An oat-oil cleansing balm for first cleanse duty, especially if your skin runs dry or gets cranky from harsher removers. It takes off water-resistant SPF and light makeup, but the thick, oily finish and occasional breakouts are the recurring complaints.
