I have used the Clinique one for years. Every time I’ve tried other balms, im disappointed and come back to it. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin/eyes or break me out more. Also, it lasts forever. Love love love.
About mineral oil: I have sensitive skin and have used straight up cosmetic grade mineral oil to melt my makeup. Mineral oil as a cosmetic ingredient is (to the best of my knowledge) completely benign and won't have much of any effect on the skin, for good or ill, because the molecules are too big to penetrate the skin. The only exception, as with any product, would be if you specifically have a sensitivity to it. According to a couple of dermatologists and cosmetic chemists I follow, sensitivity to mineral oil is relatively rare though.
Thank you! Mineral oil is one of the few oils that doesn’t break me out. A lot of dermatologists actually recommend it for people with sensitive skin because it’s so non reactive!
Exactly, same here. There's a lot of misinformation about mineral oil. People talk like you're putting gasoline on your face or something. Another currently maligned ingredient is lanolin, but there's nothing like it for healing damaged skin. It's a crucial ingredient in some old school creams like La Mer, Nivea, and Lancome's Nutrix. It's derived from sheep's wool, and so just as some folks are allergic to wool, so lanolin can also cause allergic issues. Plus, some decry it as a by product of the meat industry, but even if people stopped eating sheep altogether it could still easily be processed from sheared wool with no harm done to the sheep (unless you think shearing the sheep hurts it, a matter of opinion; I'd disagree as there's plenty of evidence out there that unsheared sheep can grow such a thick/huge coat that it's injurious to their health.) Lanolin is about the only thing besides hardcore cortisone and major dietary restrictions that helps my eczema. All just FYI. ;-) Note also that some vegan or vegetarian ingredients, like shea butter, can be harmful/allergenic--shea butter is derived from a tree nut and we know how some people really react badly to those, etc. It's all quite individual!
Esther Herzog I have sensitive skin and I've even used coconut oil to take off makeup. Mascara definitely, and used to put it on at night and then wash it off and not once did it break me out. And certain foundations break me out within a couple hours of putting them on.
This whole double cleanse ‘craze’ makes me smile. ‘Double cleansing’ in the spa industry has been normal procedure since the dawn of time. It’s even how I was trained in college in 2000. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to buy or use two separate products for cleansing. You can cleanse twice with the same product. That’s what I’ve always done during facials, removing each application with a hot towel in between. With regards to people using coconut oil or worrying about having a greasy feeling afterwards, a proper cleansing balm should NOT do that. A key ingredient in cleansing balms, following the oil or butter is an emulsifier. You should apply your cleansing balm onto dry skin, massage it all over the face and eyes thoroughly to break down makeup, then gradually introduce water onto your hands and continue massaging. This activates the emulsifier and the balm will turn milky. This is then very easily rinsed away or removed with a hot towel or muslin cloth with NO greasy residue left behind. I hope these tips have helped someone out there. Personally I love cleansing balms. There is no more thorough method for cleansing. My favorite is ESpa’s or the Emma Hardie balm. The Body Shop’s Chamomile balm is a great, more affordable alternative. If you prefer a creamier formula, I cant recommend Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish enough.
I’ve just got Clinique take the day off cleansing balm (discounted prices obvs 😂) and I worked out tonight that adding water makes it milky. It’s lovely. Not sure if you are in the UK but Superdrug has a Naturally Radiant range which are Liz Earle dupes and the cleanse and polish is just as good and only £4.49 / $5.60 which is amazing!!
Same here and it also leaves a film on my skin. I have been loving the Farmacy Green Clean but I won’t be purchasing it again. I didn’t realize it had plastic in it!
For anyone that is new to or interested in cleansing balms or cleansing oils: they’re amazing. I have oily/combo skin and I’d never use any other makeup remover. BUT they’re actually best used and should be used (like almost all skincare) outside of the shower. That’s because shower water can be overly drying to your skin. Besides that, cleansing balms/oils work best on completely dry skin, and then you can rinse it off super easily with your hands which will be the least irritating to the skin. I do makeup removal, cleansing, and exfoliating before I shower, and when I get out I tone and do moisturizing steps. Skincare is meant to help maintain skin temperatures which can prevent breakouts and irritation. Hope this helps someone 🤗
Elf has the "Hydrating Gel Melt Cleanser" and i freekin LOVE that stuff! It starts as a gel, melts to an oil, emulsifys with water and rinses clean away. It will easily remove even the most stubborn water proof mascara. No eye irritation either. I put it right up there with the Physicians Formula. Its a little pricy but... A little goes a long way!
Polyethylene in skincare (if it's not in a microbead form) is not bad for the environment. It actually helps the Farmacy cleansing balm to rinse off thoroughly which is a problem many people have with cleansing balms in general. 😊
LOVE Clinique Take the Day Off. Definitely a holy grail product for me. It takes off EVERYTHING and doesn't irritate my highly sensitive skin. It also doesn't irritate my eyes like a lot of oil-based cleansers do.
Same! I have mild eczema and combination, acne-prone, skin and that's been the only thing that works for me. I also have very sensitive eyes due to chronic allergies and this doesn't bother them. I follow it up with the Cerave cleansing bar and my skin has been loving it.
The Clinique one is my holy grail and I thought “oooo I’m gonna watch this video and find a new one to love!” Nope. I guess my holy grail is the best 😂💕💕💕
Clinique's is hands down the best, and most affordable. I realize the Physicians Formula is good and cheaper...but you get so much LESS product, that Clinique's is actually cheaper.
In my area the PF one is $10.79 everywhere I go, making the Clinique one actually way cheaper per ounce. Those are my top two faves as well but I’ve been using Clinique one forever and honestly it’s worth it to me to pay a little more for it in one go. It lasts forever and is so gentle on the skin!
Clinique one was my HG until one day traveling I realized I forgot to bring it and had no choice but to go to the drug store. I picked up the palmers face therapy rose cleaning oil and I was hooked! Seriously, If you like cleansing oils, you should definitely try it. It is AMAZING! It takes away absolutely everything and even though I always double cleanse it’s not necessary because it doesn’t leave a residue whatsoever. It does smell like rose but it doesn’t bother me. I deal with it because it seriously is that good and so cheap.
My CVS now has all the Banila Clean it Zero versions (I like the OG) but I love the Heimish All clean and the aesthetic of the packaging is straight up your alley.
After you mentioned PF in your fav video I bought it. CVS has it but it wasn't in stock. Next stop was Walmart. Lucky me, there was only one left and the price was a few $ less there. First time I used it was in the shower. I wasn't impressed. Decided the next day to use it out of the shower and wow, what a difference. I loved how well it cleaned my face (it took everything off!!) and how soft it left my skin feeling. No greasy film, no burning eyes, no bad reaction, nada. I know you don't get a lot but in my case using PF vs Clinique just makes sense. I only wear makeup maybe 5-7 days out of the month so the PF should last me a long time. Thanks for the rec'd Taylor. I no longer have to sit there and waste quite a few pads and micellar water. I now only use those to clean on non makeup days. Great video... 👍
I bought that one after tons of reviews said it was a dupe for the Clinique (even better!). It’s okay, but I find I have to use a lot more to get it to be close to as effective. I’m not a huge fan of the scent but it doesn’t make me break out. I’ll be switching back.
I freaking love the lush one! It seriously gets everything off my face, literally EVERYTHING. I can open my eyes even when its still on my eyes. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and I haven't noticed any extra breakouts or anything like that either. It's kinda pricey, but it literally last soooo long its worth it! Oh and I also have sensitive and acne prone skin.
Started a new dream nursing job, went on vacation, put down my shih tzu I had for 17 years of my life (got her when I was 5)😔, and preparing for another vacation. Happy and sad stuff but I’m finally caught up on all of your videos!! You get my through the happy and sad times. I always look forward to your videos! Thank you for your dedication to us. You’re the best!! Ps; I love the Clinique take off the day balm and it’s lasting me forever, interested to hear your opinion!💛🌯
I'm so sorry to hear of your furbaby shih tzu having to be out down. So heartbreaking. I am a dog mom too & that truly is the hardest thing to lose such unconditional love from our furry friends.
Lindsay Lasure I completely understand, we put down our 16 yr old Cocker Spaniel. It’s hard when they are your babies. Sending you love, hugs, and prayers. ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. wow though, she made it to 23, which is amazing! It's really hard to love a furry member of your family, as I lost one in February. Hope your new job is amazing!
I've been looking on yesstyle from another recommendation. I found some interesting stuff but it wasn't that cheap I did find some "sake" items and the lip sleeping stuff she raves about
rissa dawn you can buy a lot of K-Beauty on Amazon. I get my Heimish All Clean there and I know you can get the Banilla Co ones there as well. I always look at the sellers through Prime to make sure they’re legit. You can also buy on sites like Glow Recipe, Soko Glam and Oholly. They just have different products on different sites and Amazon is more all in one. I do love YesStyle, but it can take a long time to get stuff... Hope this helps!
I agree- Physicians Formula is great! Pixi also makes a really good one with a cream cleanser. But my HG Oil cleanser is by Hada Labo- it’s perfection! And it pairs perfectly with Hada Labo foam cleanser which is not stripping at all.
Agree, and hyaluronic toner/essence from Hada Labo is also very good - no fragrance, alcohol or other bullshit. Also heard a lot of good stuff about their sunscreens.
I've been using Pond's since my pageant days when I was little and still use it. Now, the one with the green lid is the one I've used for years, I haven't tried the new formula, but try the regular Pond's Cold Cream with the green lid and white jar.
Some ingredients, such as certain plant oils or extracts, can have a really pungent or unpleasant smell that brands want to mask to make their products smell better, but to me it makes no sense? Fragrance can irritate the skin, and I would gladly take a product that smells funny but is non-irritating over something that smells good but really aggravates my skin. Especially since most smells in skin care products don't linger for more than a minute, if that. So there's no harm in having a product that doesn't smell good and there's minimal benefit to adding fragrance, but they do it anyway. Actually I just remembered one moisturizer, the GlamGlow Glowstarter; it had such a strong orange-creamsicle smell that just didn't go away and it gave me a headache. Luckily it was just a sample tube from Sephora that I never touched again.
My number one fav is the Dermalogica cleansing balm, it is more expensive though. The clinique is my second fav and it's what I'm currently using. The full size is actually good value and is lasting me awhile.
Holy cow. Albolene! I'd forgotten all about that. Used to use it to remove stage makeup in the 1980s. It's true, that stuff will remove ANYTHING. Nice and gentle, too. I also liked old school Pond's or Noxzema tbh. Noxzema of course has That Smell, but it reminds me of my granny, soooo
dindaire albolene worked fine, but you do need a wet towel to wipe it off. I prefer balms that wash off clean with just water, but if one doesn’t mind using a towel, it’s a good deal. I’ve been watching Dr. Dray too. Bought several products on her recommendation & they’ve all been wonderful.
@@brideofsnape2046 Noxzema is a throwback to my college days! Still the only cleanser I've ever used that removes makeup and I didn't feel the need to follow up with a second cleanser. I don't use it now because the minty/camphory stuff in it might disagree with my more recent sensitivity issues, but man was it effective!
I love Albolene! It’s amazing and it doesn’t strip my skin when I wipe it off! I use it with some baby wipes (fragrance free of course) and it removes all of my makeup! Definitely recommend it
Thanks for all the amazing videos and content. I’ve been watching you for years. Appreciate your honesty and ethics. I’m not usually a commenter, but hopefully you’ll see this :)
Clinique Take The Day Off Balm definitely lives up to the hype. Been using this for like 15 years and will continue to as long as they continue to produce it.
I halfway agree. I see palm oil and it’s a soft stop until I’m able to determine the source. There ARE suppliers of palm oil that obtain it sustainably. I know that Katie Carson (Royalty Soaps on RUclips) and Arienne Arsenault (La Fille de La Mer artisan bath products - also on RUclips) both use responsibly sourced palm oil in their cold process soap.
I *love* the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup. You mentioned it smells bad but also that you've had it for years-that's why. The ingredients break down over time. New product has a light citrus aroma.
Love the Clinique one. Also the Estee Lauder version, which has the exact same ingredients but also has safflower oil i think. Any balm that has ethyl hexl palmitate is the one to go for. That's the ingredient that emulsifies to take off all makeup. You're welcome x
Yeah, I use the Clinique because it's unfragranced. I used their liquid makeup remover for years to take off wp mascara & eyeliner & lipliner & found I was using it on my face too. When liquids became less convenient to travel with I switched to the balm. I avoid the blurry eye thing by doing one eye at a time. It really does take everything off & won't strip your skin.
I absolutely love the Body Shop Camomile cleansing balm. I also have acne prone skin and my skin also doesn’t like most oils but this balm doesn’t break me out and it also makes my actual skin’s texture super soft. 🙌🏻🤩
Today is 11/17/20, i saw your break video due to medical reasons. And i am very happy your a finally taking a break. You have worked ver hard through your pain you very well deserve it. That being even tho i will miss you tremendously, i will keep watching any and all of your older videos. Because ill miss you and i will always support you. ❤❤❤ take care taylor and i wish you nothing but the very best.
The ponds cleansing balm is the exact same thing as their cold cream, same ingredients and everything. I LOVE the original version and its typically around $2 cheaper and you get more in the original one and doesn't have added fragrance. I also have majorly sensitive acne-prone skin and the original cold cream is THE only makeup remover I just. Plus it removes everything with one product.
I bought the PF matcha balm after your recommendation and I absolutely love it. Only downside for me is the small amount. I don't find its fragrance to be super strong though. I actually enjoy it. And if I didn't care about price, the clinique balm is also absolutely amazing. Great video, thank you for sharing!
I love Clinique!! I have been using it since it was first launched, I have tried every other Balm & oil I always go back to take the day off. It's the only one that gets EVERYTHING off & rinses away easily!! No idea why I felt the need to comment on this, LOL. I could have sworn you said once you didn't like it?? Any way as someone who is older with HORRIBLE DRY skin (47) I swear when I use this daily it causes me to go from severely dry skin to skin of dry/normal.Which is a miracle as far as I am concerned. Thanks for all your hard work we all appreciate you more than you will ever know!!! Much love 💖💞😘
The Clinique is my fav too! But this month I thought i’d try the Clinique take the day off makeup wipes instead....they were awful! So greasy and oily 😐
Shelley from Geek Out of Water sent me to you a few months ago, and I must say, You are Terrific! I truly appreciate your in-depth research, and your delivery is very endearng. My frens and I really enjoy your channel!
My holy grail is the Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover. I put a little bit on a cotton square and use it on my entire face! It's so gentle and I don't have to use any pressure whatsoever but it removes every trace of makeup on my face so effortlessly. It does leave behind a little bit of a filmy residue, but I always double cleanse so it's not an issue for me.
Thank you for filming this! Appreciate the fact that you mentioned which ones would probably be bad for sensitive skin, etc. and Farmacy being a pollutant…smh
Love Elemis, doesnt make me break out either. I like it alot plus Farmacy, Clinique and Grace & Stella cleansing bslms. But HALF OFF during Ulta 21 days of beauty!! Drunk Elephant good but over priced.
I’m sooooo excited for this video! I am in love with the Farmacy Green Clean but it’s so expensive 💰. I’d love to find a cheaper alternative and spend my cash on better skincare ❤️ thanks for doing this ❤️
I like the Yes to Coconut cleanser. It’s not advertised as a balm cleanser, it’s meant to be used with water, but if you squeeze some out into your palm and use it as a balm without water, it works fir me.
The glam glow face wash that is a makeup remover too is sooooo good and it doesn’t hurt or blur the eyes, it is so gentle, had a faint smell that is very fresh it’s good! I got it in a boxycharm
Can you do a video on cleansing oils? I prefer cleansing oils over cleansing balms. It’s just too much of a hassle to open up a jar and dig into it with a little spatula that I’ll have to rinse as well to keep everything germ free when I can just press the pump and dispense the oil right into my hands instead.
Bex Bex Thanks I did try that one but I wasn’t a huge fan. Its pretty expensive and it didn’t work much better than other less expensive options I’ve tried. I haven’t found my holy grail yet, so I was hoping she could recommend some other ones.
I've never been allergic to anything before in my life, but two different drunk elephant products make me break out in I guess is hives. It's red, bumpy (not actual pimples, bumps) itchy red swollen face. It's weird, but I'm so glad they were free & I didn't pay the ridiculous price to not be able to use them.
I think I will give the Clinique a try. I tried the ponds, but it was a bit to perfumy! Pixi had one and I didn’t care for it. I hate when it leaves a film when opening my eyes!
Denise Reiland I love my clinique one and the huge tube is pricey at the time but it lasts forever and it's a better "deal" also the og ponds cold cream that's like 2 bucks takes off makeup without the residue also. Maybe not waterproof stuff but I was kind of surprised that a couple bloggers I follow use it as their remover. It has a scent but not bad imo. Plus it gives u some moisture and isn't as harsh as most wipes
I love the pixi balm more than any of my high end ones. Not sure why exactly...it's just the bees knees it's basically the clinique one texture wise, but not pricewise if that makes sense. You should try the pixi cleansing balm, I promise it's amazing !
Omg I’m so happy hearing you talk about ingredients! I started watching dr. Dre on RUclips and she’s a derm who talks about ingredients too and it’s so important for us to know what is in the junk we are putting on our face! Please keep doing these style videos. I know you’re just an average consumer but I think it’s really important what you’re doing.
Cleansing balms are so hard to find and when you do you stick to it!!! That’s why I swear by the Clinique . That SHIT WORKS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣I’m totally gonna try your drugstore drugstore option!
@@f.elenav.4766 late reply, but I have sensitive, acne prone skin, and I have normal to dry skin I’d say, and I had no issues with the Clinique balm in my double cleanse.
Glad you did this review. I use the Clinique one and love it but was thinking of trying the No. 7 because it's cheaper. Guess I'll try the Physicians Formula one.
When the balm leaves a residue it’s like you have to triple cleanse. The second cleanse is just to get rid of the residue and the third is actually cleansing just your skin.
I have been obsessed with the Banilla Clean it Zero in the original formula, I got it from CVS (it’s a Korean brand) and it takes every bit of my makeup off without any residue!
I use a cold cream from a Mexican brand called "Teatrical", it's very comfortable and not heavy, it removes all my makeup. It does leave the skin feeling hydrated but since have oily acne prone skin I use the Garnier micelar water to remove the cold cream and proceed to use my cleanser. It works wonderfully for me!!!! I've been using this routine for the past 6 months or so
Great video! Yes, the Clinique works so well for my crazy excema, psoriasis allergic, sensitive face.....I have to pay the price, but it just works so well for me. I’m glad you approve it.
I'm trying out the DHC cleansing oil right now. I personally love the boscia makeup break up cleaning oil. It smells great and has a thicker, less emolient feeling compared to the DHC one.
@@TheMASHHLife Check the iUnik complete calendula one, it’s great. Sad thing is that it does ylang ylang essential oil which is one of the worst sensitising essential oils. It is a wash off treatment so it isn’t such a big of a deal and isn't formulated with olive oil but instead with sunflower and canola oil! Excellent for the skin. No fragrance.
Target recently added a new brand called Versed and I have been enjoying their cleansing balm. $17. I was nervous at first because it has alcohol but I haven’t found it to dry out my skin at all. I’ve almost used it all up.
Just because a product has alcohol does not mean it is drying. There are multiple different formulations of it in skin-care and it is used as an emulsifier. Watch Dr Dray and labmuffin to learn more.
Can you and Kristi please do a collab together? She gave an amazing "review" of you. I feel both of your subscribers would thoroughly enjoy a video or two of you guys together doing literally anything.
My favorite cleansing balm is the Heimish All Clean Balm from Amazon. I've gone through a shift wearing a tinted sunscreen and sweating buckets outside in the heat and that balm removes everything. It's amazing.
Kristi gave you an amazing shout out in her video tonight. Everyone appreciates your hard work and dedication ♥️
Karly Rose as they should!😂 She’s on a level of her own.💕
i really love her work ethic.
I have used the Clinique one for years. Every time I’ve tried other balms, im disappointed and come back to it. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin/eyes or break me out more. Also, it lasts forever. Love love love.

You are completely correct. It's one of the moisturizing ingredients that are least likely to cause sensitivity. Mineral oil is great.

The Clinique one was horrible on my eyes. It makes my eyes so foggy. It works but I also feel super blind.
Me too. That stuff totally blinded me.
Yeah dude I can't see after using it either!
Same here and it also leaves a film on my skin. I have been loving the Farmacy Green Clean but I won’t be purchasing it again. I didn’t realize it had plastic in it!
Candace Kelley try using micellar water to remove your eye makeup :)
If you clean off your waterline and tight line after you should get your vision back 😛

The Body Shop Camomile is the best.. I’ve bought at least 10 tins so far.. it’s amazing!
Wow! I totally forgot that I loved that one. It’s been years since I bought it. Going to have to repurchase that one.
Was just about to comment that!
I love this too.
The camomile cleansing oil is pretty great too
I hate it. It was so greasy

You should try the Banila co Clean It Zero cleansing balms! They have different versions for each skin type. I love them
I agree. It's not very expensive and unscented!!
I completely agree, I’ve been obsessed with the original formula and they have them at CVS now!
Amanda Hope Makeup I didn’t know that! :o I’m omw there now haha
Agree, I used to love Farmacy but the Banila is my new ride or die.
my fav

I've noticed this a lot with clinique! Their liquid eyeliner (pretty easy liquid eyeliner) has HEAPS more product than other liquid liners!

I tried that one and it gave me that blurry eye effect. It did a good job of taking off my makeup but killed my eyes.
Amanda I love the Clinique one! Takes ALL the makeup off! ALL of it!
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is amazing. I use it as my first cleanse on dry skin followed by the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.
I love Pixi Cleansing Balm and Pixi Double Cleanse! I've tried Ponds and Physician's formula and Pixi is better. Thanks for the great video.
CJ M the pixi balm literally burnt my face 😥 I had such a bad reaction to it
I use the pixi one too!
Love Pixi Double Cleanse!
Thanks for the review of Pixi's Double cleanse! I have been eyeing it, but wanted to use up a liquid oil cleanser first before I bought!

My CVS now has all the Banila Clean it Zero versions (I like the OG) but I love the Heimish All clean and the aesthetic of the packaging is straight up your alley.
Yes. The Heimish All Clean Balm is my holy grail!!
I love this cleansing balm! I gotta check and see if my CVS has it. That would save me so much time ordering it online.
Jill McK omg!! I gotta check my cvs! I love Clean it Zero!
Heimish one is my favorite too!❤️
Where can we purchase heimish?
After you mentioned PF in your fav video I bought it. CVS has it but it wasn't in stock. Next stop was Walmart. Lucky me, there was only one left and the price was a few $ less there. First time I used it was in the shower. I wasn't impressed. Decided the next day to use it out of the shower and wow, what a difference. I loved how well it cleaned my face (it took everything off!!) and how soft it left my skin feeling. No greasy film, no burning eyes, no bad reaction, nada. I know you don't get a lot but in my case using PF vs Clinique just makes sense. I only wear makeup maybe 5-7 days out of the month so the PF should last me a long time. Thanks for the rec'd Taylor. I no longer have to sit there and waste quite a few pads and micellar water. I now only use those to clean on non makeup days. Great video... 👍
"Oh cool, a balm review. I just bought one yesterday!"
It's her least favourite one. GAAHHH!!!
If you’re referring to the No7....I love it. Its my all time fave. Go figure
@@DebiDan Well I've tried it only once so far, so hopefully I'll like it too..
I bought that one after tons of reviews said it was a dupe for the Clinique (even better!). It’s okay, but I find I have to use a lot more to get it to be close to as effective. I’m not a huge fan of the scent but it doesn’t make me break out. I’ll be switching back.
Conversely I really did not like her favorite drugstore one, the Physician's Formula one.
Same! Lol
I freaking love the lush one! It seriously gets everything off my face, literally EVERYTHING. I can open my eyes even when its still on my eyes. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and I haven't noticed any extra breakouts or anything like that either. It's kinda pricey, but it literally last soooo long its worth it! Oh and I also have sensitive and acne prone skin.
You convinced me by saying u can open ur eyes! Hehe
I don't even like cleansing balms.... but here we are.
I hate most of them, but I live and die by the Farmacy one. It is incredible.
@@erinstettner1 really 🤔 I might give that one a chance as my first step into cleansing balms thanks to this video 😂😂
I like the Clinique one a bit less, but after what she said about Farmacy containing plastics, it may become my new balm.
Viviana Pasillas amen sister.
This comment sums up so much of the RUclips experience
Nyx has a cleansing balm and a lot of people have said it's a dupe for the Clinique cleansing balm
They dont sell it anymore 😩
Elf does have a cleansing balm, the hydrating gel melt cleanser!
yes! Great for double cleansing
I love this one, but for some reason, they stopped selling it anywhere but on their website.
its really good, and only 10$ ! for a decent amount too
@@jackienoon2130 really? I cant even find it on their website it was my favorite!
@@jackienoon2130 nvm I found it!!!
I love how honest you are about the products. I like how you talk to us like we’re in the room with you.
Started a new dream nursing job, went on vacation, put down my shih tzu I had for 17 years of my life (got her when I was 5)😔, and preparing for another vacation. Happy and sad stuff but I’m finally caught up on all of your videos!! You get my through the happy and sad times. I always look forward to your videos! Thank you for your dedication to us. You’re the best!! Ps; I love the Clinique take off the day balm and it’s lasting me forever, interested to hear your opinion!💛🌯
I'm so sorry to hear of your furbaby shih tzu having to be out down. So heartbreaking. I am a dog mom too & that truly is the hardest thing to lose such unconditional love from our furry friends.
Beauty Bulletin thank you so much. It was so so sad and hard to do but it was for the best. I’m just so thankful for those 17 years with her!!
Lindsay Lasure I completely understand, we put down our 16 yr old Cocker Spaniel. It’s hard when they are your babies. Sending you love, hugs, and prayers. ❤️
DaBestMamaBear thank you so much. Same back to you❤️
I am sorry for your loss. wow though, she made it to 23, which is amazing! It's really hard to love a furry member of your family, as I lost one in February. Hope your new job is amazing!
I love that Clinique cleansing balm. I have gone through so many of them.
I am an Asian skincare fan. I love the a'pieu cleansing balm and the hada Lobo foaming cleanser.
My all time favorite is the Heimish All Clean Balm
Heimish is my #1 too! I love all of the K/J-Beauty ones and they are usually the best price wise too. 👍🏻👍🏻♥️♥️
Elise McBride ok stupid question probably but I've recently seen and heard a ton about this. Where do you purchase and what are some good ones??
I've been looking on yesstyle from another recommendation. I found some interesting stuff but it wasn't that cheap I did find some "sake" items and the lip sleeping stuff she raves about
rissa dawn you can buy a lot of K-Beauty on Amazon. I get my Heimish All Clean there and I know you can get the Banilla Co ones there as well. I always look at the sellers through Prime to make sure they’re legit. You can also buy on sites like Glow Recipe, Soko Glam and Oholly. They just have different products on different sites and Amazon is more all in one. I do love YesStyle, but it can take a long time to get stuff... Hope this helps!
There a Korean brand cleansing balm on Amazon called “Clean It Zero” that’s AMAZINGGGG
I think the brand is Banila Co., right?
It also contains marine-life harming plastics
@Becca Kelley is it good?
I use the Clinique I love it 💕💖 It lasts forever and never burns my eyes, or bothers my super sensitive, dry skin.
Clinique is my favorite!
My daughters and I use it daily, one large container can last us about 3 months. Little goes a long way!
Dremalogica precleanse is the best ever. Def try it if you can 😊
Caitlin Whittington pre cleanse burns my eyes and skin so bad! I think it might be the lavender oil.
That completely ruined my skin. Had to get topical steroid for my face to clear the hospital dermatitis it caused
A really underestimated cleansing balm is Body Shops Camomile Cleansing Balm ! It’s amazing and works wonders!
I agree- Physicians Formula is great! Pixi also makes a really good one with a cream cleanser. But my HG Oil cleanser is by Hada Labo- it’s perfection! And it pairs perfectly with Hada Labo foam cleanser which is not stripping at all.
Agree, and hyaluronic toner/essence from Hada Labo is also very good - no fragrance, alcohol or other bullshit. Also heard a lot of good stuff about their sunscreens.
I've been using Pond's since my pageant days when I was little and still use it. Now, the one with the green lid is the one I've used for years, I haven't tried the new formula, but try the regular Pond's Cold Cream with the green lid and white jar.
dudeitsstacy I’ve been using ponds cold cream for a while and I love it. It’s got fragrance, but doesn’t bother me. It removes everything.
I tried both didnt care for new formula one.
The Clinique is FANTASTIC! The only thing I have found to take off waterproof anything. Totally worth the $$
Natalie Prescott I just wish it didn’t contain plastic (Polyethylene) that ends up in our waterways 😫
Heather Elzinga honestly i’ve been trying all week to find an alternative without polyethylene!!! but the clinique one is so gooodddd😔😔😔
Whyyyy do they have to ruin it by adding fragrance
𓊈 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𓊉 the Clinique one has no fragrance!!
𓊈 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𓊉 sometimes to hide chemical smells they might have other wise. At least I think lol
betmybrains but can they add something to cancel the smell or just put very little?
Some ingredients, such as certain plant oils or extracts, can have a really pungent or unpleasant smell that brands want to mask to make their products smell better, but to me it makes no sense? Fragrance can irritate the skin, and I would gladly take a product that smells funny but is non-irritating over something that smells good but really aggravates my skin. Especially since most smells in skin care products don't linger for more than a minute, if that. So there's no harm in having a product that doesn't smell good and there's minimal benefit to adding fragrance, but they do it anyway. Actually I just remembered one moisturizer, the GlamGlow Glowstarter; it had such a strong orange-creamsicle smell that just didn't go away and it gave me a headache. Luckily it was just a sample tube from Sephora that I never touched again.
Chichi Ada it has polyethylene (plastic) which will harm the ocean
Try The Body Shop Camomile butter, please!
My number one fav is the Dermalogica cleansing balm, it is more expensive though. The clinique is my second fav and it's what I'm currently using. The full size is actually good value and is lasting me awhile.
Omg dermalogica products are 🔥 i want them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, to save money, just use albolene! It's fragrance free and Dr. Dray recommends it. It's great for sensitive skin
J M check out her most recent vid
Holy cow. Albolene! I'd forgotten all about that. Used to use it to remove stage makeup in the 1980s. It's true, that stuff will remove ANYTHING. Nice and gentle, too. I also liked old school Pond's or Noxzema tbh. Noxzema of course has That Smell, but it reminds me of my granny, soooo
dindaire albolene worked fine, but you do need a wet towel to wipe it off. I prefer balms that wash off clean with just water, but if one doesn’t mind using a towel, it’s a good deal. I’ve been watching Dr. Dray too. Bought several products on her recommendation & they’ve all been wonderful.
@@brideofsnape2046 Noxzema is a throwback to my college days! Still the only cleanser I've ever used that removes makeup and I didn't feel the need to follow up with a second cleanser. I don't use it now because the minty/camphory stuff in it might disagree with my more recent sensitivity issues, but man was it effective!
I love Albolene! It’s amazing and it doesn’t strip my skin when I wipe it off! I use it with some baby wipes (fragrance free of course) and it removes all of my makeup! Definitely recommend it
The cleansing balm from the body shop is my absolute favorite. I’ve repurchased 20+ times over the years.
Same, my mother and I love it.
Thanks for all the amazing videos and content. I’ve been watching you for years. Appreciate your honesty and ethics. I’m not usually a commenter, but hopefully you’ll see this :)
Thank you so much and thanks for commenting and watching for so long!
shea butter momma
Clinique Take The Day Off Balm definitely lives up to the hype. Been using this for like 15 years and will continue to as long as they continue to produce it.
People please read labels and do not purchase anything with palm oil...save the orangutans!!
I would highly recommend you go view Caroline Hiron’s video with Sam Farmer and they discuss palm oil.
Almost everything you buy has palm oil in it. Makeup, laundry detergent, chocolate, peanut butter, soap, etc
🙌🏼
Not to mention the Amazon rain Forrest!
I halfway agree. I see palm oil and it’s a soft stop until I’m able to determine the source. There ARE suppliers of palm oil that obtain it sustainably. I know that Katie Carson (Royalty Soaps on RUclips) and Arienne Arsenault (La Fille de La Mer artisan bath products - also on RUclips) both use responsibly sourced palm oil in their cold process soap.
I *love* the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup. You mentioned it smells bad but also that you've had it for years-that's why. The ingredients break down over time. New product has a light citrus aroma.
I love Korean cleansing balms the best. Heimish cleansing balm is my favourite.
Love the Clinique one. Also the Estee Lauder version, which has the exact same ingredients but also has safflower oil i think. Any balm that has ethyl hexl palmitate is the one to go for. That's the ingredient that emulsifies to take off all makeup. You're welcome x
I've been using the PF cleansing balm for about months. It works fantastic (even better than the clinique, imo) and I really like the scent!
What is pf stand for?
Sam Hizs ❤ physician’s formula
Yeah, I use the Clinique because it's unfragranced. I used their liquid makeup remover for years to take off wp mascara & eyeliner & lipliner & found I was using it on my face too. When liquids became less convenient to travel with I switched to the balm. I avoid the blurry eye thing by doing one eye at a time. It really does take everything off & won't strip your skin.
I absolutely love the Body Shop Camomile cleansing balm. I also have acne prone skin and my skin also doesn’t like most oils but this balm doesn’t break me out and it also makes my actual skin’s texture super soft. 🙌🏻🤩
Today is 11/17/20, i saw your break video due to medical reasons. And i am very happy your a finally taking a break. You have worked ver hard through your pain you very well deserve it. That being even tho i will miss you tremendously, i will keep watching any and all of your older videos. Because ill miss you and i will always support you. ❤❤❤ take care taylor and i wish you nothing but the very best.
One of the BEST drugtore balms is Albolene ($10 @ Walmart)!!! Dermatologist recommended!!
The ponds cleansing balm is the exact same thing as their cold cream, same ingredients and everything. I LOVE the original version and its typically around $2 cheaper and you get more in the original one and doesn't have added fragrance. I also have majorly sensitive acne-prone skin and the original cold cream is THE only makeup remover I just. Plus it removes everything with one product.
I bought the PF matcha balm after your recommendation and I absolutely love it. Only downside for me is the small amount. I don't find its fragrance to be super strong though. I actually enjoy it. And if I didn't care about price, the clinique balm is also absolutely amazing. Great video, thank you for sharing!
I love Clinique!! I have been using it since it was first launched, I have tried every other Balm & oil I always go back to take the day off. It's the only one that gets EVERYTHING off & rinses away easily!! No idea why I felt the need to comment on this, LOL. I could have sworn you said once you didn't like it?? Any way as someone who is older with HORRIBLE DRY skin (47) I swear when I use this daily it causes me to go from severely dry skin to skin of dry/normal.Which is a miracle as far as I am concerned. Thanks for all your hard work we all appreciate you more than you will ever know!!! Much love 💖💞😘
The Clinique is my fav too! But this month I thought i’d try the Clinique take the day off makeup wipes instead....they were awful! So greasy and oily 😐
Shelley from Geek Out of Water sent me to you a few months ago, and I must say, You are Terrific! I truly appreciate your in-depth research, and your delivery is very endearng. My frens and I really enjoy your channel!
I like the tatcha cleansing oil! The way it rinses is some kind of magic!
My holy grail is the Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover. I put a little bit on a cotton square and use it on my entire face! It's so gentle and I don't have to use any pressure whatsoever but it removes every trace of makeup on my face so effortlessly. It does leave behind a little bit of a filmy residue, but I always double cleanse so it's not an issue for me.
Such a helpful video! I've been trying to avoid makeup wipes as my skin has been getting so much more sensitive lately. Thank you!
❤🌯❤🌯❤🌯❤🌯❤
Thank you for filming this! Appreciate the fact that you mentioned which ones would probably be bad for sensitive skin, etc. and Farmacy being a pollutant…smh
I love when you do skincare videos! So excited for this 💜
Love Elemis, doesnt make me break out either. I like it alot plus Farmacy, Clinique and Grace & Stella cleansing bslms. But HALF OFF during Ulta 21 days of beauty!! Drunk Elephant good but over priced.
I’m sooooo excited for this video! I am in love with the Farmacy Green Clean but it’s so expensive 💰. I’d love to find a cheaper alternative and spend my cash on better skincare ❤️ thanks for doing this ❤️
I like the Yes to Coconut cleanser. It’s not advertised as a balm cleanser, it’s meant to be used with water, but if you squeeze some out into your palm and use it as a balm without water, it works fir me.
Dr. Dray uploaded a video on the same topic today lol. Great minds think alike!!
exactly what i was thinking 💞
The glam glow face wash that is a makeup remover too is sooooo good and it doesn’t hurt or blur the eyes, it is so gentle, had a faint smell that is very fresh it’s good! I got it in a boxycharm
Actually Mineral oil is really good for sensitive skin, but only for washing off the makeup.
You are so freaking dedicated and thorough. Clinique is my favorite, too. Definitely trying that Physician's Formula.
I like the one from Ole Henrickson, it's a gel formula. Also, cannot beat the DHC original cleansing oil.
The pond’s cold cream is my absolute favorite thing! It’s really good at getting off my really stubborn and waterproof makeup it’s so good!
Does it take off sunscreen?
Ahhhh yisss. Excuse to take a break from studying. Thank you for helping me procrastinate!
Quite surprised that you haven’t mentioned/tried Heimish or Banila Co balms! Those were the OGs and are super affordable and works AMAZING!
Can you do a video on cleansing oils? I prefer cleansing oils over cleansing balms. It’s just too much of a hassle to open up a jar and dig into it with a little spatula that I’ll have to rinse as well to keep everything germ free when I can just press the pump and dispense the oil right into my hands instead.
MeteoricMarlin I remember from past videos she’s said her fave is the Fresh Seaberry Oil. Hope that helps!
Bex Bex Thanks I did try that one but I wasn’t a huge fan. Its pretty expensive and it didn’t work much better than other less expensive options I’ve tried. I haven’t found my holy grail yet, so I was hoping she could recommend some other ones.
I like the Burt’s bees cleansing oil
I've never been allergic to anything before in my life, but two different drunk elephant products make me break out in I guess is hives. It's red, bumpy (not actual pimples, bumps) itchy red swollen face. It's weird, but I'm so glad they were free & I didn't pay the ridiculous price to not be able to use them.
Try the K-beauty ones! affordable and so good i mean they are the OG ones after all...
I can’t use anything with coconut oil in, so really appreciate you when you call out products with it in. Thank you x
Old school Albolene works great for me as a first step in double-cleanse.
jcp0061 that stuff will make your skin look beautiful also. I saw a 60yo lady look 35 all because of Albolene. 👌🏾 great product!
I didn't even know what a cleansing balm was before I watched this, my eyes have been opened! ..and I've just ordered the clinique one 🙌🏻
I think I will give the Clinique a try. I tried the ponds, but it was a bit to perfumy! Pixi had one and I didn’t care for it. I hate when it leaves a film when opening my eyes!
Denise Reiland I love my clinique one and the huge tube is pricey at the time but it lasts forever and it's a better "deal" also the og ponds cold cream that's like 2 bucks takes off makeup without the residue also. Maybe not waterproof stuff but I was kind of surprised that a couple bloggers I follow use it as their remover. It has a scent but not bad imo. Plus it gives u some moisture and isn't as harsh as most wipes
Clinique is my favorite. It works well and never breaks me out
I love the pixi balm more than any of my high end ones. Not sure why exactly...it's just the bees knees it's basically the clinique one texture wise, but not pricewise if that makes sense. You should try the pixi cleansing balm, I promise it's amazing !
Omg I’m so happy hearing you talk about ingredients! I started watching dr. Dre on RUclips and she’s a derm who talks about ingredients too and it’s so important for us to know what is in the junk we are putting on our face! Please keep doing these style videos. I know you’re just an average consumer but I think it’s really important what you’re doing.
Amy K, then you should know that alcohol and mineral oil are totally safe for the skin because it depends on formulation.
Try the Heimish All Clean Balm!!! It's my absolute holy grail
Tehreem Tahir yes!! Love that one!
Ooo that one is compodogenic: if coconut oil breaks you out stay away from this! It destroyed my skin
Loooove Heimish! Hands down my favorite cleansing balm. Their all clean green foaming cleanser is amazing too, I can’t live without it!
What site can I find that cleansing balm?
@@SilkChocoMilk I've been getting mine from eBay for the past couple years, but recently I've found it on Amazon and YesStyle!
I’ve tried Farmacy’s & It Cosmetics’ balms & you’re right-Clinique’s Take The Day Off is the best! Especially for my dry sensitive skin!
Cleansing balms are so hard to find and when you do you stick to it!!! That’s why I swear by the Clinique . That SHIT WORKS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣I’m totally gonna try your drugstore drugstore option!
I'm late here but I wonder if this balm would works for dry skin ?
@@f.elenav.4766 late reply, but I have sensitive, acne prone skin, and I have normal to dry skin I’d say, and I had no issues with the Clinique balm in my double cleanse.
Yes they are the best...hands the fuck down.
Botanic Farm Grain Ferment cleansing balm & Heimish Cleansing Balm. Girl. GIRL. Those are unbeatable. I really think they’ll become your new faves.
Glad you did this review. I use the Clinique one and love it but was thinking of trying the No. 7 because it's cheaper. Guess I'll try the Physicians Formula one.
Clinique is actually much cheaper per ounce than PF, if cost is something you're concerned about!
Seriously, take off the day is my holy grail. I tell everyone. And have gotten everyone hooked. Amazing.
When the balm leaves a residue it’s like you have to triple cleanse. The second cleanse is just to get rid of the residue and the third is actually cleansing just your skin.
I have been obsessed with the Banilla Clean it Zero in the original formula, I got it from CVS (it’s a Korean brand) and it takes every bit of my makeup off without any residue!
dr dray says mineral oil doesnt clog pores and isnt problematic so i think the ponds one is fine 🤔
I use a cold cream from a Mexican brand called "Teatrical", it's very comfortable and not heavy, it removes all my makeup. It does leave the skin feeling hydrated but since have oily acne prone skin I use the Garnier micelar water to remove the cold cream and proceed to use my cleanser. It works wonderfully for me!!!! I've been using this routine for the past 6 months or so
Try the one from the good molecules, it is the best of the best, better than clinique and only $15
Maga 76 where do you purchase yours at?
@@rissadawn2047 in beutylish, excelent service 👍
The good molecules balm is my next purchase for sure!
Great video! Yes, the Clinique works so well for my crazy excema, psoriasis allergic, sensitive face.....I have to pay the price, but it just works so well for me. I’m glad you approve it.
The DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is my favorite cleansing oil.
Lush Fanatic Same here! Haven’t found a better cleansing oil or balm!
I'm trying out the DHC cleansing oil right now. I personally love the boscia makeup break up cleaning oil. It smells great and has a thicker, less emolient feeling compared to the DHC one.
I love how it works on me but I cant get past the smell of olive oil😭
@@TheMASHHLife Check the iUnik complete calendula one, it’s great. Sad thing is that it does ylang ylang essential oil which is one of the worst sensitising essential oils. It is a wash off treatment so it isn’t such a big of a deal and isn't formulated with olive oil but instead with sunflower and canola oil! Excellent for the skin. No fragrance.
The Clinique one has been my holy grail for YEARS now! It truly is worth the hype!
Target recently added a new brand called Versed and I have been enjoying their cleansing balm. $17. I was nervous at first because it has alcohol but I haven’t found it to dry out my skin at all. I’ve almost used it all up.
Just because a product has alcohol does not mean it is drying. There are multiple different formulations of it in skin-care and it is used as an emulsifier. Watch Dr Dray and labmuffin to learn more.
Can you and Kristi please do a collab together? She gave an amazing "review" of you. I feel both of your subscribers would thoroughly enjoy a video or two of you guys together doing literally anything.
Walmart sells their own version of the clinique, its a hige tub for like 8 bucks. I love it, but never trued the clinique
It does? What is it called?
My favorite cleansing balm is the Heimish All Clean Balm from Amazon. I've gone through a shift wearing a tinted sunscreen and sweating buckets outside in the heat and that balm removes everything. It's amazing.
