Product Information

No, it doesn’t look like much, and no, it doesn’t smell like a spa and no it absolutely does not promise to totally fix your every skin concern overnight. However, it does remove every last trace of dirt and makeup from your face with zero fuss. It also smells somewhat comforting and promises to totally change the way you approach your evening skincare routine due to how remarkably easy and fuss-free it is to use. Alongside breaking down makeup, this cleanser easily gets rid of any dirt or impurities on your face too. The result is clean, nourished and refreshed skin. As this cleanser has so many skin-loving ingredients, my skin feels wonderfully soft and smooth after using it. It never feels harsh on the skin, so I agree that this would be suitable for sensitive skins too.

The luxurious addition to your skincare routine that will melt away makeup in an instant

It has a really nice smell and my skin just feels so refreshed, soft and calm after using it. If perfumed products trigger issues for your skin type, this might not be the cleanser for you. I use the cleanser first thing in the morning to wash my face and in the evening. I wet my face with warm water and massage a small amount of the cleanser into my skin. I then rinse it all off, and when cleansing in the evening, I repeat the process - as I learnt from my beautician, double cleansing is really important at the end of the day to ensure your skin is completely free from makeup and dirt. Once rinsed - and I gently buffed away any residue with a flannel - my skin was left looking bright and feeling soft, clean and hydrated. If you've got oily skin this might not be the best choice for you, but with my skin on the dry side it worked wonders. I was also impressed that you can leave it on for 10 minutes to use as a deep cleansing mask.

Cleansing balms are very effective at dissolving heavy face and eye makeup as well as all traces of dirt that has built up throughout the day or night,” says Jane Foulston. They're also “suitable for both a morning or evening routine as well as either a first or second cleanse,” she shares. Ethylhexyl palmitate: a mixture of a fatty alcohol and palmitic acid that functions as an emollient (softens and soothes the skin) and texture enhancerFilled to the brim with soothing and calming ingredients (think: shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil or kernel oil), cleansing balms are so much more than just a form of cleansers. Depending on the formulation of choice, they can also feature brightening or even exfoliating properties – especially when paired with a soft face wash cloth or muslin to gently polish the skin. Not to mention, applying a cleansing balm also feels therapeutic, making your night-time skincare routine that much more enjoyable. Best cleansing balms at a glance: Let's be real, there are many reasons as to why cleansing balms are superior to old-school makeup remover wipes and their micellar water counterparts. For starters, they offer a more effective way to pre-cleanse and remove makeup, excess oil, dirt or built-up grime without leaving your skin parched. “Many balms also contain nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E and essential oils so they don’t strip the skin and leave it feeling tight in the same way that other types of cleansers might,” says Jane Foulston, director of award-winning skincare brand Emma Hardie.

The 200ml bottle has a pump dispenser, making it easy to get the right amount of product each time leading to no waste. Within a week of using the cleanser (alongside other La Roche-Posay products), I noticed a huge difference in my skin. I hope La Roche-Posay never discontinues the cleanser or the other Effacular H products, as they’re the best skincare products I’ve ever used.
