HOW TO USE IT
AM/PM
PM: used it as a first cleanse to take make up, dirt, and impurities of the day off my skin. I scoop a dime size amount into my palm and massage it on my skin. It immediately melts into oil; and I spread it all over my face and neck area. I take a little water in my palm, and massage it into my skin which changes the oil to a milky substance. I then use a soft face towel to gently wipe the cleansing balm off.
After completing the first step, I follow with an active cleanser of my choice depending on my skins need
AM: sometimes I used the cleansing balm in the morning. Following the above-mentioned step without the use of an active cleanser, then apply the rest of the steps.
HOW LONG DID I TEST THE PRODUCT?

CON
Fragrance: Not a fan of the scent of this product. It is a very strong scent that you either love or hate; I hate it. However, the cleansing ability of the balm overshadowed my dislike for the smell.
Ingredients: a lot of ingredients which has a potential of causing some irritation on skin. I did not react negatively to this product but I would cautiously recommend this to all skin type especially sensitive based on some of the ingredients.
Size: a little die goes a long way but I could do with a lot more product.
In conclusion, loved the way it broke down my makeup without any skin irritations but based on the ingredients list, I would exercise a little caution before suggesting it to every skin type. Thank you for reading have a blessed day.
