Aromatic Cleansing Balm with Rosewood

Darphin products seem to work really well for me, and this is near the top of the list of my favorite products from them. The instructions say to apply on wet skin, but I actually prefer to use on dry skin, and really massage it into my skin. The extra stimulation seems to add to the brightening, clarifying effect I get with any cleansing balm, but a thick formula like this in particular. My skin …Read more

This is a treat because of the scent. I like to buy a travel size and take it on vacay with me. As a cleanser, its does the job well, but not a good value. Elemis is a similar experience but at a much better price point.

I'm a big believer in cleansing balms, just love the ritual and the results. I'm also convinced that I get much fewer breakouts after starting using balms instead of milks, cleansing is just more throughout. Of course couldn't miss Darphin's luxurious offering.

Let me tell you, at first I hated it. I was used to applying the balms on dry skin, massage and then add …Read more

If you want to try a luxurious, wonderfully scented and remarkably effective cleanser, you would be hard-pressed to go awry with this one from Darphin. It is hideously expensive - $45 for a 40 ml pot. However, I have enjoyed using it so much, I have no doubt that I'll be buying more.
The balm is a kind of waxy cream texture. It smells like nothing else I've sniffed - an herbal …Read more

I bought this product for myself as a treat. This cleansing balm is so so, so nice, and so, so expensive. As a cleansing balm, it does what's it's supposed to -- removes makeup, cleanses effectively, is gentle, and smells really therapeutic. It's an elegant formula, and truly a joy to use. However, it's quite costly, and it's not like it's an enormous jar that takes …Read more

A lovely thick balm perfect for a morning or second cleanse post makeup removal. I do use as a makeup remover also but only because I'm trying to use up the hoard of products I own before buying any more.
It's very thick, and I use approximately a large pea sized amount for my first cleanse, enough to get some slip and movement, and get my tinted moisturiser and SPF breaking down …Read more

No doubt about the luxuriant aromatic credentials of this product. Unfortunately, congested pores ensued. Perhaps drier complexions would fare better?

This is an luxurious face cleanser. I was looking for a facial cleanser that remove makeup thoroughly and doesn't need to use a facial wash again like some cleansing oil. I don't apply heavy makeup usually and want something to clean well my waterproof sunblock and BB cream. After reading some blogs and think this just the one meet my need. It does need my need perfectly expect the …Read more

After reading the ingredients, I had been lemming this product for quite awhile. I am a long term Nude Skin Care Cleansing Oil user. As I was running out, I decided to try this for a change. First of all, although it does remove eye makeup as well as the cleansing oil, it is not really intended for the eyes and it stings a tiny bit. I do not see why I should use an eye makeup remover too when …Read more

I have been using this cleanser for a year now and it's the cleanser I always go back to if I try a new one. my skin is quite oily down the t zone but the rest of my face is normal, the product doesnt stop spots forming but due to my hormones i dont think anything would stop them coming, I recently tried eve lom cleanser and really irritated my face! expensive to!
