This is a great balm for a second cleanse. Smells gorgeous, really fresh and leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished. Highly recommend.

I rarely write reviews but just wanted to submit one, so that this product doesn't get ignored by those who might like it as much as I do. I have a very reactive, acne-prone skin, easily dehydrated, easily congested - and a wrong cleanser results in breakouts very quickly. I absolutely love this product. I use it as the second step of cleansing - after a hydrophilic oil (I wear SPF daily and apply waterproof makeup), and I like to remove it with a hot muslin cloth. This balm easily melts all the dirt and grime in my pores and makes my skin feel amazing. It leaves a protective film, my skin doesn't feel squeaky-clean, but if you're acne-prone, it's a good thing, you don't want to wash off that barrier. If you are not allergic to rare things - try it - you might like it a lot.

Unfortunately this burnt my face each time I used it. It could take up to 30 mins to calm down. I have no idea why and used to be a Zelens fan. Because of this, and my reaction being so severe, I contacted them directly. most disappointingly they weren't interested when I contacted them.
