Q: Does this count as a face wash or just a make up remover
submitted by Abodav - 1 year ago
A: You may use this as your only product to remove your makeup and then rinse off. If you prefer to double cleanse, you may follow up with cleanser.
submitted bythe elfcareteam - 1 year agoA: You don’t technically NEED to, but please use a facial cleanser after you rinse this off. Your skin will feel much better not to mention cleaner. Using just this and no face wash after will cause you to breakout I can guarantee.

Q: Around how long does this last?
submitted by Sarah - 1 year ago
A: I have used this for about 2ish years now and each container lasts me around 2-3 months even if I use it daily. You don’t need more than a pea sized amount, a little more if your makeup is super heavy.
submitted byMadison - 9 months agoA: This contains 2 OZ (56.5 g), so although results vary by user, it will last for quite awhile even with daily use.

first balm ive tried and i love it
I was nervous to try a melting ball just because I have dry and sometimes sensitive skin but this is such a good balm. Didn’t break me out, took off all my makeup, and didn’t make my skin feel tight but soft :)

My favorite melting balm!
I’m truly obsessed with this melting balm! I’ve tried many different brands, but I always come back to this one. It’s so gentle on the face, yet it’s so good since it removes all of your make up! I will forever be purchasing this product!

My favorite!
One of my favorite makeup removers Smells good gets the job done amazing I will say if you’re a contact user it can sometimes get on contacts if washing eyes but just needs to be flushed out with water after!

Gentle but effective cleansing balm that melts mak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm removes makeup easily, even stubborn eye and lip products. The texture melts smoothly into the skin without tugging and rinses clean without leaving a greasy residue. My skin feels soft, hydrated, and not irritated after use, and I didn’t experience any breakouts.

Gets the toughest waterproof macara off in seconds!
If you wear waterproof makeup this is a MUST MUST MUST. I spent so much time taking off waterproof mascara but not anymore! Came off in seconds after rubbing in. No residue! I can’t believe this good of a product exists!

Holy makeup melter
This is amazing! Creamy texture that turns a bit oily (in a good way!) when applied. You just need a tiny pea amount and it took all my makeup off (foundation, mascara, eyeliner, shadow).. just poof gone! My skin is super sensitive and extremely dry (just healing from an allergic reaction to retinol) and it felt amazing on my face. Gentle rubbing with my hands, no roughness of a microfiber cloth or cotton ball to get that difficult mascara and eyeliner off.

Good formula
The formula is really creamy and it leaves a oily sensation on the skin after using it, not really sure if it’s a good or bad thing but the product is good, it has the applicator and a big quantity

I love this stuff! I use it in the shower after work to remove makeup and mascara or at the sink before a shower. It’s so fun to see the makeup melting!! No odor makes it even better!

Takes my makeup off with ease
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a night out, the one thing I hate to do is wash my face and take my makeup off. This makeup melting balm helps it come off so smoothly, but also leaving my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. I also love that it comes with a little scoop in the packaging to help you only take out what you need. A little goes along way with this!

An easy-to-rinse balm with a pleasant consistency
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Consistency is a firm balm that melts quickly upon contact with skin. The Scent is very mild and pleasant, or virtually nonexistent. Importantly, I experienced no Irritation around my sensitive eye area. Rinsing is easy; it emulsifies nicely with water and leaves no film. For Storage, the jar is simple and effective. It's a great first cleanse.

Works as described
Love that this worked exactly as described and wasn’t comodegenic / didn’t negatively affect my skin. It didn’t work as well at removing waterproof eye makeup but it was a treat for a first cleanse to help take off the “day” before washing. I like the texture of the balm over the tried and true beauty product of Ponds Cold Cream makeup remover cleanser.
