I purchased this in December. Right off the bat, hated the smell. It truly smells like rotten oranges. The texture is nice, but I find it doesn't do a very thorough job of removing my makeup or cleansing my face and I have to use additional products to get the job done. Additionally, if you get any water on the pump at all you should not replace the cap. My bottle has gotten moldy on several occasions when I've replaced the cap. It's really gross, will absolutely not repurchase. In fact when I tried this again this week (I want to use it after spending so much) my daughter asked me what that "yucky smell" was. This will be going in the garbage unfortunately.

I am on my second container of balm cleanser. I use it as the first step in my skin care routine. It breaks up makeup easily without stripping the skin.

I bought the Gel Balm Cleanser because there was no mineral oil, which broke me out terribly from the original balm cleanser. I'm happy to say that the Gel Balm Cleanser doesn't break me out and has all of the same essential oils that I loved from the OG cleanser. It's a great morning cleanser and doesn't strip my skin of any moisture. I haven't used it to remove makeup but I will definitely try it since I loved using the original as a first cleanse. The only thing I don't like is the packaging. I can't tell how much is left and will probably run out before I realize I'll need to repurchase.
