Blue Moon Clean-Rinse Cleansing Balm

LOve it!! DONT get it in your eyes though... Stingzzz. HOwever, I use my Bioderma to take eye make up off first anyway! I apply on dry skin, massage for about 15-20 seconds, then add a bit of water until i get a somewhat milky consistency, rinse then add a milky cleanser to residue then I apply a hot cloth and remove . Voila! Clean soft skin. I wear concealer, powder blush oils etc. Takes it all off. Has a little grit to it but NOT abrasive at all. I have mature, sensitive, dry skin. I love this cleanser. Highly recommended. O, and has a SLIGHT scent but barely there!! Will continue to purchase!!!

So, for reference, I have sensitive skin prone to hormonal acne. I use this as my first cleanse and follow with Sum:37 cleansing stick as second cleanse. I have tried several cult favorite cleansing balms and my skin didn't like any them, always broke me out(I suspect it was the mineral oil). This, however, is love. I would best describe the texture as a sherbet not really a balm as there is a bit of grit to it... think nuxe reve de miel lip balm sort of grit, so not at all abrasive and they do kind of melt away as you massage the product into the skin. It gets rid of all my makeup, had no problem with it stinging my eyes either. I like this so much, I'm having trouble to convince myself to try the CEO cleasing oil I bought at the same time.

I have been using the Sunday Riley Blue Moon cleansing balm for about a week. I use it at night & I'm really liking it. It smells great & leaves my skin so soft. My only complaint is that it's not the best at removing my eye makeup. I consistently have to do a second step to get it all off. I'm going to try it as a mask next.

I’m 49 & I don’t {normally} have breakouts.. unless a product, such as this one, causes congestion.. It was too gritty and it didn’t dissolve with warm water... ive sampled this in the past and it wasn’t as gritty but it did bring up 3 pimples on my chin... I returned it. I’ve tried other balms that I prefer that don’t cause irritation or discomfort... it hurt to massage it around because of the grit...
