How did it feel on oily-dehydrated skin?
My skin is combination skin that feels dry inside but oily on the surface. I used this product when oiliness and breakouts were bothering me in hot weather. The balm melted softly like an oil on contact with body heat, and I could roll a small amount over a wide area.
How much makeup did it remove?
On days when I wore makeup, I checked for residue with a toner pad after cleansing, and in my case, nothing came off. Matte lipstick and foundation cleared first as I rolled it over my skin. Mascara and staining tint could leave a little behind after the first cleanse, but they came off once I went through the emulsifying step.
How did I finish after cleansing?
After cleansing, I rinsed lightly with soap. I used to always follow cleansing oil with cleansing foam, but after using this product, finishing with soap felt sufficient for me too.
Did my skin feel dry after washing?
When I applied the balm to areas of concern and rolled it over them, I was satisfied because it felt as though little sebum grains were coming out of my skin. I also only apply a light layer of cream after washing, and I did not feel inner dryness after using it. This is my experience on my own skin.
Was it good to take on trips?
Although it is a solid balm and comes in a large size, it felt light, so I planned to pack just this one cleansing product for domestic trips. If you have oily-dehydrated skin and are concerned about both makeup removal and sebum care, my experience may be useful to reference.
