CeraVe

Cleanser Balms use oil and other ingredients like emollients and waxes to form a solid consistency. I love that CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm is suitable for all skin types, even oily skin, to remove makeup, dirt and oil without leaving skin feeling dry, thanks to ingredients like jojoba oil and three essential ceramides.

Product Details

Makeup-removing cleansing balms offer the best of both worlds: the cleansing efficacy of a balm, with the comfort and convenience of a cleansing cream. Our Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm helps effectively remove longwear makeup, dirt, and excess sebum (oil) from your skin—resulting in a complexion that feels clean and hydrated after use. Cleansing balms are commonly used as the first step in the popular two-step “double cleansing” method.

It’s formulated without alcohol, soap, fragrance, or parabens.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • “Double cleansing” refers to a facial cleansing method where you wash your face twice in a row, using two different cleansers. This is most often done by using an oil-based cleanser first—like CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm—followed by a water-soluble face wash that’s best suited for your skin type (cream, gel, or lotion). Double cleansing can be useful for many individuals and skin types, such as those who wear makeup daily or have acne-prone skin.

  • Cleansing balms are formulated with oils that work to effectively remove makeup, dirt, and excess sebum that can build up on your skin. They typically have a rich, semi-solid consistency that easily melts onto the skin and creates a milky, cream-like texture once water is added.

  • Cleansing balms work in a similar way to cleansing oils, another popular cleanser option used for double cleansing. Both types of cleansers illustrate the scientific principle of “like dissolves like” in practice—meaning that oil dissolves oil and water dissolves water. Cleansing balms gently remove makeup and help eliminate buildup on your skin, while also offering moisturizing benefits and helping to maintain your skin’s protective barrier. The result: Your skin feels soft, healthy, and clean rather than dry or stripped.

  • Besides acting as an effective makeup remover, cleansing balms offer many benefits that make them a great addition to your face cleansing regimen. Because they are formulated with natural oils, such as jojoba oil, they are highly moisturizing and help nourish the skin with moisture. Rather than emulsifying into a foam, cleansing balms feature a unique, silky consistency that is simple to use and feels like a luxurious treat when it melts onto your skin.

  • Balm makeup removers, like CeraVe’s Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm, should be applied as the first step in your face cleansing routine. Using your fingertips (or a skincare spatula), simply take a pearl-sized amount of the makeup cleansing balm and massage onto dry skin using a circular motion. After working the cleansing balm onto the skin around your entire face, rinse it off thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry (avoiding contact with your eyes). Next, continue by using your favorite CeraVe cleanser to complete your double cleansing routine.

  • Yes, CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm should be rinsed off with lukewarm water once you are finished applying it. Afterwards, gently pat your skin dry with a towel and continue on with the rest of your CeraVe skincare routine. Always follow with your favorite non-oil-based CeraVe face wash, like CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser.
  • Adding this cleansing balm to your skincare routine can have benefits for all skin types—including dry, combination, or even sensitive skin. CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm is non-comedogenic, developed with dermatologists, and suitable for all skin types. If you wear makeup daily, a makeup-removing cleansing balm is a particularly excellent way to gently and effectively remove makeup and help keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.
