REN Clean Skincare No. 1 Purity Cleansing Balm

It's so thick you can barely get it out of the tube!! It's hard to get off and doesn't get all my mascara off. It's also pretty expensive and seems like extremely thick Vaseline. Will def not repurchase and almost returned it.

I have acne prone skin that is a bit oily (used to be VERY oily when I was younger) and gets dry sometimes due to running outside, swimming in pools, and gets a fair amount of exfoliating. I am also prone to clogged pores.

I wear a lot of makeup. I'm a total cakeface who usually wears full coverage, long lasting foundation, powder, and all the extra stuff I can. When I'm not …Read more

I got the jar/tub of this in a duo set on sale at sephora a while back, so I didn't end up paying the full price of $60CAD (woah .. what.) I definitely would not pay full price for this. Is it bad? No. Is it great? No.

A few reasons why I would not repurchase:
- this stings my eyes when I try to remove my eye make up, which is bizzare to me given it's a face cleansing …Read more

I do like this as a first cleanse at night/makeup remover. It is not the best have used (Clinique Take the day off) but it is good.

I love balm cleansers and I bought this as part of a set just to try it. I use it to remove my makeup. While I feel that some luxurious balms like the Emma Hardie or the Sunday Riley Blue Moon can still function well as a second cleanse, this always feel likes it doesn't come off well enough with a washcloth to facilitate its use as a second cleanser. As such, the price feels a little steep …Read more

I was surprised to see a lot of negative reviews I love this balm like crazy! I have the big tub of it, so I haven't had the struggle of squeezing it out like some people mentioned thankfully. The tub packaging is very convenient and easy so if you can get your hands on that one, definitely choose!! I think this does an amazing job at removing all my full coverage foundation, bronzer, blush …Read more

This was a massive fail of a product for me and I'm struggling to find anything good to say about it. As a cleansing balm it only works if you're wearing the very minimum of make up (i.e. eyeshadow and nothing else) or have a completely bare face; it's practically impossible to squeeze out of the tube so anyone with mobility issues in their hands would definitely struggle; and it …Read more

I have oily combination skin and I purchased this to use as a makeup remover on dry skin. I love balm cleansers and thought I would love this but it is a bit of a mixed review depending on what you want to use this for.

I found that massaging this into dry skin to remove makeup was a waste. I ended up using quite a lot of product as it tends to work into the skin rather than breaking …Read more

I'm paranoid with my skin not being totally makeup free, so I was looking for a facewash that really cleans of makeup. This one does just that! (Check!) The smell and texture are nice, you need to massage it onto your face for a minute or two, I even leave it for a bit longer, it feels so soft and nourishing.
Some reviews wrote about problems getting it out of the tube, but for me it …Read more

I used this product once and the moisture was sucked right out of my face. I also tried the cleansing milk and same result. Must be a specific ingredient. I have used Cliniques Take the day off balm and enjoy the scentless product much better than this one. No fine lines are noticable after that product has been washed off.
I am still trying to regain the moisture back. Beware... More …Read more
