"The Heimish All Clean Balm is a really nice cleansing balm that removes everything, including all the water resistant makeup, so I'm not aggressively scrubbing at my lashes either. It contains shea butter and coconut extract along with white flour complex. And I feel like this one rinses out pretty nicely."

"I didn't love it. It's not very elegant. It is incredibly affordable, it's super cheap, I think it's about six or seven dollars, and while it is effective at removing the SPF and the makeup and the grime, I just didn't really like the feel of it. I think there are so many other products that even fit within the price category that are better. So for me it's not a repurchase. It was nice to give it a try, it had been on my list, but it's just not going to be one I go for again."

"I went through the Heimish All Clean Balm, the travel size. I actually like the mandarin scent a bit more than this one. Both the cleansing balm and the cleansing oil work great to remove sunscreen, foundation, and so on, though the balm feels like a bit more of a ritual than the oil, which is faster."

"It does have a scent to it which I know won't be for everyone, but [...] in a wash off product our skin seems to get along with it. As somebody who wears both sunscreen and makeup, [...] I can tell you some cleansing balms are a lot more effective at removing makeup than others, [...] and Heimish nailed it, [...] they made an amazing cleansing balm that removes makeup and emulsifies beautifully. [...] I absolutely love this cleansing balm."

What About Korean...Makeup!?

"My skin is sensitive but it gets along with scents in my cleansing balm. You apply it to dry skin, massage off any areas with heavier makeup, then go in with water to emulsify, and it rinses off completely with no residue left behind. Residue is a deal breaker for me, and that is one of the reasons why I love this balm so much. It can be used to remove both makeup and sunscreen."

"This is a standard cleansing balm in a nice way. It has that kind of plasticky feel to it that rubs down into an oil, you rub that gently on your skin and emulsify it and wash away. It's a really good cleansing balm. I like this [...] size. These ones are nice because you don't have to spend ages trying to break it down. It washes away super easy once emulsifying. Heimish is known for their cleansing balm. Like, you can't not win with this one."

"This is only going to be $9.99, which is a bargain because it's huge. What I love about this is it is that classic cleansing balm without just feeling like a pot of melted plastic, which a lot of cleansing balms can feel like. This is amazing at removing layers of sunscreen, makeup. It's very, very good at removing that excess oil, sebum, dirt. So, yes, perfect for a double cleanse if your face just needs that excess cleanse. This has so many nice oils in."

"It smells divine and comes with a little spatula. [...] It does have fragrance, so be aware of that if you're super sensitive, but because you wash it off, it's not that bad. This is one of the softest, most soothing, wonderful makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and gunk removers that literally feels like a milky cloud on your skin and in your hands. I have come back to this time and time again."

"This is something I've been using for over a year now. This is the All Clean Balm from Heimish. I keep re-buying it. It's like a little cloud for your skin and it comes out this white chunky chunky and then it melts down into this cleansing milk. I've been thinking of switching to like a cleansing oil just to see how that goes, especially since I liked this a little bit more in the winter, but this has been a tried and true in my routine. Yeah, I just keep coming back to it and I love it."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
