## Description

desertcart.com: The INKEY List Mini Oat Cleansing Balm, Rich Balm Removes Makeup and Impurities, Reduces Redness, Travel Size, 1.69 Fl Oz each : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Amazing for double cleansing - A million thanks to the Sephora team member who casually pointed me towards the INKEY list--the entire line has been blowing my mind! If you're looking for a nice, unfussy balm to take off your makeup before using another cleanser to wash your face (aka double cleansing), this is a fantastic option. I've tried all kinds of makeup removing balms from low to high price points, and the INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm is my new favorite. You get plenty of it for the price, which is great since I don't believe most brands when they say a dime-sized amount will take off all your makeup in every circumstance. Even if a little does go a long way, I wear a full face of makeup every day and need at least a quarter's worth of any balm to get everything off to my liking. This bottle is going to last me a good while, and it will go even farther for people who prefer the less is more model. More importantly, the formula is awesome, one of those simple and to the point gems. It's both gentle and very effective, a win/win for super sensitive/oily/prone to some serious hormonal acne skin like mine. It's a little thicker than some of the other balms I've tried, but that's been a plus for me. It feels like it's really gripping the makeup on my face rather than just slip-sliding around the top layers of it. This balm also just FEELS clean, if that makes sense--it's not chemical-y at all, it doesn't have any added scents, but it also doesn't smell too strongly or too strangely without them. Most makeup removing balms out there don't sting my eyes, but plenty do get into my eyes and leave a bit of a blurring film. It's another win/win situation with this balm: it removes every bit of makeup off my eyes (no morning raccoon eyes!) but doesn't stick around once I wipe it clean. For clarity, I do use a makeup eraser to wipe the balm off, which I think is a game-changing step no matter what balm you use. After I'm done double cleansing, my skin never feels tight, dry or itchy in between the cleansing and moisturizing steps, and the gentle formula in this balm is a big part of that. I've seen a couple reviewers who say their skin felt greasy after using the balm, but for my part, I've never experienced that. That might be more of an issue if you want to use this as a standalone cleanser, but my skin just feels soft and makeup-free when I use it, even before I reach for the cleanser to complete my double cleanse. In all, I love this simple and effective balm, and I'll definitely be adding it to my subscribe and save list. For the price and the quality, it's won me over from reaching for any other brand I've tried before.
Review: Love this Cleanser - I really like this cleansing balm. I have rosacea so I need to use gentle products on my skin and keep moisture in. This is super gentle and removes my make up well. And my skin doesn’t feel stripped after. I also love that it’s cruelty free and vegan. I wish they hadn’t added texture to it - not necessary for a gentle product. When I bought it in the past it didn’t have that. There appears to be a “new version” of this and I’m not sure what the difference is, but I love the one I have so I bought the old version (which is cheaper too). Only complaint is that it was poorly packaged by desertcart and the box was super crushed. But the product inside was fine and the tube was sealed which is very important.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the best, not the worst
*by C***N on April 14, 2024*

This isn’t the best makeup remove I’ve ever used but it’s far from the worst. Overall I’d say it’s fairly good. Works on all makeup, doesn’t leave me face feeling gross. Cons are water resistant mascara requires some serious rubbing or at least two attempts to get it all off, it can separate (a very minor inconvenience, just shake it), and it leaves a slight fog even after washing my face so I have to cleanse again on my eyes to get rid of it. But for the price it’s the best one I’ve tried. You get a lot of product for not a lot of money.
