How did I use it on dehydrated, oily skin?
I usually wear about as much makeup as BB cream, so I used it as a first cleanse to remove it. Even on days when I did not wear makeup, I used it two to three times a week when I felt my pores and dead skin cells needed care.
What were the texture and emulsification process like?
It looked thick at first, but felt soft and silky when spread over my skin. I scooped out about half of the included spatula, massaged it until it melted into an oil with my body heat, then added a little water to emulsify it. It emulsified relatively quickly without needing much water.
How did my skin feel after cleansing?
I felt that most of my BB cream came off in the first cleanse. Afterwards, rough texture and flaking seemed more settled, and although my skin tends to turn red easily from irritation, it felt mildly irritating for me and left a sense of moisture.
What stood out about storage and ingredients?
The spatula can be attached inside the container for storage, which made it convenient to scoop out this jar-type product hygienically. According to the original post, it is a vegan cleansing balm, and charcoal particles, jojoba seed oil, olive squalane, and green tea water were mentioned.
My younger sibling, who has sensitive skin, also tried it and said they liked how gentle it was and how well it removed makeup. Skin reactions can vary from person to person.
