CeraVe Cleansing Balm for Sensitive Skin | Hydrating Makeup Remover with Ceramides and Plant-based Jojoba Oil for Face | Non-Comedogenic Fragrance Free Non-Greasy |1.3 Ounces

I have been using Cerave products for decades and they have helped me manage my various skin conditions: dry skin, sensitive skin, keratosis pilaris, and occasional breakouts. They are easy to find, effective, and fit in my budget.Having said that, everyone's skin, preferences, and budget are different, so as a point of reference, I am a middle-aged woman who uses Retin-A which causes my skin to be sensitive and can be drying. I learned about double cleansing from Dr. Dray, a board-certified dermatologist, who has her own YouTube channel. I am a fanatic about sunscreen, and some types of sunscreen are harder to remove than others. The double cleanse method of using an oil-based cleanser followed by a mild cleanser makes sure all sunscreen, dirt, oil, and makeup are removed in a gentle, non-drying way. I have used different cleansing oils and there is one that I still buy and use regularly, but here's what I appreciate about Cerave Cleansing Balm:It's solid at room temperature, so it will travel well and not potentially cause a mess like an oil could.It's a small container (1.3 oz) perfect for travel and the container can be washed and reused when empty.A little goes a long way; it should last a long time if using the amount indicated - a pearl-sized amount.No irritating ingredients, fragrance, or essential oils.Has a very mild scent that does not linger and I do not find off-putting at all.Removes my stubborn sunscreen without scrubbing, irritation, or stripping all moisture.Rinses off easily without leaving a residue.Leaves my skin moisturized but not at all sticky, oily, or greasy.I follow up with the Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser and my skin feels plump and moisturized even before I put on any moisturizer.For people who say they thought the jar would be bigger, the amount of product (1.3 oz) is listed in the very title of the product and in the description, and the price gives the breakdown per ounce, so neither Amazon nor Cerave were trying to conceal the size. For people who say it irritated their eyes, the description clearly states, "Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water." I know most of us don't have a lot of extra time, but it does pay to slow down and read a bit more closely. Currently the price has dropped to $9.47 from $13.99 which is $4.52 cheaper and a good deal for a quality product. I will definitely buy it again and again - especially at the lower price - and enjoy the results. Good luck!Update: This arrived on August 22nd and I used it almost every night. I used more than a pearl-sized amounteach time and it lasted until November 5th, so more than two months with every day use.

I am such a big fan of this cleansing balm! I bought this because I wear eyeliner and waterproof mascara almost daily and I was finding that I would have to wash my face 2-3 times with face wash in order to get the eye makeup off. This product works wonders on my makeup! It takes it right off without issue.The best part- it doesn't irritate my eyes! I usually get a bit in my eyes but it doesn't hurt at all. The only way I can tell that I got it in my eyes is because my eyesight is a little bit blurry between when I use this balm and when I wash with regular face wash (the face wash & rinsing with water clears my eye sight).One callout is that it works best if your face and hands are dry. I instinctively wet my face the first time I used it and it didn't work as well so I was skeptical. Once I did it on my dry skin then it worked like a charm. The product is silky enough so that it isn't irritating at all on dry skin. It actually feels kind of good and soothing.

I was looking for a more oily makeup remover due to the need to remove waterproof makeup and provide a more moisturizing treatment for my aging skin (46 years young). I used it by rubbing it into my skin, especially around the eye area, and then used a warm microfiber cloth to wipe it off. I should mention that I have very sensitive skin, particularly around the eyes. My skin tolerated this product well, and I did not experience any discomfort or reaction (especially in the eye region).The product works AMAZINGLY; I love how it removes all makeup and moisturizes my skin in the process. However, the smell is a bit off-putting. It has an artificial and chemical scent that I find unpleasant. Despite this, I will continue using it, especially during travel, because it is convenient and I prefer it to makeup-removing towels or tissues. I would recommend it because it works, but if you are sensitive to smells, I would advise caution.
