Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm

My mature skin is dry and very sensitive. I've tried other products that cost more but didn't remove all mascara and makeup. On the other hand this completely removes makeup as it melts on my skin with a smooth texture leaving my face hydrated. This is my second purchase and do recommend for all ages and skin types. It feels so good I even use it to hydrate my skin. No irritants as fragrance and toxic chemicals.

I like this product a lot! I’ve been looking for a cleanser that can remove makeup and is also non-comedogenic. I’m a big fan of CeraVe so I was surprised to have found this product so late! It is a pretty small package, and you have use a little more than a pea size to get a good lather. My skin feels moistured after I use it and it has an oily feel when you rub it into your skin. Great oroduct and good for travel since it is technically not a liquid. Love it!

My super sensitive face actually likes this product. I won't use anything else for cleansing make-up. I am delighted with it as it is the only thing I've tried that doesn't irritate my face. It takes only a small amount of product to clean effectively. Will be reordering when needed.

Works great and feels nice on the skin, but the size of the jar is much smaller than I expected. Thick cream melts easily between your fingers.

I’m compelled to address the negative reviews because I almost didn’t buy this stuff after reading them last month. I decided to give it a try anyway, and I’m glad I did. I needed a new eye makeup remover, and I’ve been on a CeraVe kick lately. I realize the product description says you can use this on your whole face to wash off all your makeup, but I disagree. I don't think you should use this to remove foundation or any other makeup on your face. This is not a cleanser. This is a remover, and in my face routine, this balm is strictly for removing mascara. You don't need to use it if you don't wear mascara. If you do wear mascara, you need something "greasy" to cut through it and lift it off your lashes. I 'came of age' in the late 80s/early 90s, and back then, we used vaseline. You needed that grease to cut through the hard crusty mascara. Well, those days are gone. The non-comedogenic cleanser balm is obviously how we do it in the modern age, but it still has to have the same "greasy"-like texture of olden times to be effective. I will say, this one by CeraVe is actually nice and light feeling and not too greasy at all, just enough "greasy" to get the job done. You just rub a little bit on each set of eye lashes and it will lift the mascara right off, and once your lashes feel cleansed of the crustiness of the mascara, you then immediately follow up with a good water-based cleanser (or oil-based if you have dry/acne-prone skin) to wash the "greasy" balm off, and finish washing your face. (My go-to cleanser these days is CeraVe's Renewing SA Cleanser. I swear, I don't work for CeraVe LOL) I was using a similar eye makeup remover by Milk Makeup, which wasn't too bad, but I like this one by CeraVe better. This is actually less "greasy" feeling than the Milk product. Also, the one by Milk had a weird smell, and my eyes would feel foggy for about an hour after. I get none of that with the CeraVe balm. It washes away clean with no residue at all. Five full stars from me. I highly recommend it for your mascara-removing needs! And ONLY your mascara-removing needs!

I tried cleansing balm as I’ve heard it’s supposed to be better for your skin than makeup wipes but after using it for close to a year I feel like makeup wipes did the same amount of damage if not less than the cleansing balm. This felt like rubbing crisco on my face and I don’t really get how that’s supposed to be better for you but I tried anyways and can say it’s not for me. I did feel like it did a slightly better job at getting the makeup off but using it on my eyes sucked.

I decided to try this after using liquid makeup remover, and let me tell you—it’s a game changer! It melts waterproof makeup off effortlessly using very little product, and leaves your skin soft! The container is smaller than I initially expected, but a little truly goes a long way. I’m extremely impressed and will definitely be purchasing this again!

This cleansing balm works exactly as promised. It melts off waterproof mascara, sunscreen, and full-face makeup effortlessly without stinging or leaving a residue. The texture feels rich but rinses clean, leaving skin soft and hydrated instead of stripped. It’s fragrance-free, safe for sensitive skin, and a little goes a long way. Perfect as a first step in a double-cleanse routine — reliable and gentle like everything from CeraVe. TL;DR: Melts makeup, leaves skin soft, and doesn’t irritate — an easy five stars.

Love this as it melts on your skin and does a good job

Gentle and hydrating whilst removing every trace of sunblock and makeup. I do follow-up with a wipe or hydrating cleanser to ensure it's all washed off properly. I also use cleansing oil, but the balm have the travel advantage and light to carry. No scent and competitively priced.

Perfect for taking make up off and cleansing your face I have tried other balms and have had irritation to my eyes This balm is perfect for sensitive skin and caused no irritation to my eyes Highly recommend

It really works! I recommend buying it. 👌🏻👍🏻

I love Cerave. Easy to remove makeup esp waterproof mascara and liner
