How do I use a cleansing balm?

It removes all the grime of the day, my sunscreen, and if I’m wearing light makeup, all my makeup too. My skin feels clean, comfortable and wonderfully nourished. It does not feel dry, tight, nor is there any residue on my skin. It feels so gentle, almost as if I was pouring a rose-scented oil on my skin, nourishing it, even as I cleanse. I’m quite vocal about my dislike for fragranced products, and rose-scented products are usually top of my list. For those interested, this is the ingredients list for the Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm. Fifiho said: “Bought this as a recommended dupe for a premium cleansing balm, which I can't afford any more! It certainly delivers.”D Gregory Super moisturising cleansing balm. Lovely gentle cleanser that has also helped to moisturise my very dry skin. No need to use cotton wool or other disposable bits as it comes with a super muslin square which washes well and can be used over and over. No more expensive brands for me, I am hooked on my rose cleansing balm! RELATED READING: Do you need a cleansing balm? When would you use a cleansing balm vs a cleansing oil? READ HERE Special mention must be made of the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm which is affordable and effective, and the Three Aiming Cleansing Balm, which isn’t affordable, but is lush as hell! 😀 To look at, it's very clear to see that this Aldi product is a dupe for the popular ELEMIS cleansing balm. It features the same cute pale pink tub, and actually feels quite expensive for the price.

It's said to 'transform from a solid balm into a silky oil texture' just like the ELEMIS product, and it certainly does that. I actually really liked the addition of the exfoliating feature, and wish that my ELEMIS balm did the same. The scent I absolutely adore its cleansing balm and think that it's the perfect product to remove your makeup. It's luxuriously buttery formula makes taking my makeup off before I go to bed feel like a trip to the spa - it's by far my favourite cleanser. Pauline86 Pamper and equivalent to fancy brand Great smell,amazing texture, you have to put a fair bit of it to really enjoy the pamper, take off make up perfectly, can be slightly uncomfortable on eyes but it's a great product, can definitely be compared to more expensive balm !

ALDI LAUNCHES LED FACIAL CLEANSER – AND ITS 81% CHEAPER THAN FOREO 

brookess Great product! Lovely cleaning balm, smells and feels wonderful on skin and does a great job cleaning/removing makeup, better than micellar water . As always, Aldi has got the scent pretty spot on. Let's be honest, the scent is one of the best bits about ELEMIS products, so it's important that Aldi got it right, and they did! The balm smells virtually identical to the posh ELEMIS version, and is formulated with rosehip, sweet almond and rose flower oil. The Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm does smell a little strong. The scent of fresh roses wafts out into the room the moment you open the cover of your tub. Sue said: “I have tried many Balms over the years, but this one is outstanding. Even compared with a very famous name. So glad I found this. Easy to apply and really leaves my feeling clean, it’s great for removing my make-up too, mascara as well. The “intensely rich” Ultimate Cleanse Rose Cleansing Balm dissolves make-up and gently cleanses the skin for a nourished and smooth complexion, without causing any breakouts. The budget beauty balm is suitable for all skin types and has become a “skincare staple” for many.

Ninee wrote: “Excellent cleansing balm by Pure. Similar to a more expensive brand. Massage a small amount onto the face and then wipe off with muslin or flannel which has been immersed in warm water. Fabulous!” I personally use cleansing balms, and prefer using cleansing balms to cleansing oils. I have used so many, I have a repository of all the cleansing balms I’ve ever used, and I keep adding to it as I go! 😀 annegreyhounds Lovely cleaning balm Bought as a gift , recipient very impressed with the product. I will defend buy again I still can't get over how soft this made my face feel after one wash, which is something the ELEMIS cleanser just doesn't do. I'm not entirely sure if the product has the same pro-collagen effect like the ELEMIS original, so I can't really compare it in terms of prolonged use.MrsMidlife: “Love it! Definitely on par with the much more expensive cleansing balms. Feels lovely on my skin, glad I found it.” Svetlana said: “I used to have Elemis rose cleanser. I had decided to try Pore ultimate one. I can say not much different. The rose cleanse is very good, smell nice and skin feels great and hydrated after, will definitely buy again!” EmsieH Impressed - lovely product So far I am really impressed. Subtle rose fragrance. Has a slight exfoliating feel, nice cleansing balm texture. Slightly oily but doesnt feel that way on the face. Melts into the skin and clears face of all make up including eye make up. Skin feels clean and hydrated. I have been using Elemis Rose Cleansing Balm for years and wanted to try this due to the price difference. I am certainly impressed and may change my buying habits soon! The ELEMIS balm is a lot smoother to rub on the face, but it didn't make my face feel as soft as the Lacura one did. It's almost as if it act like a moisturiser too, which is pretty impressive to say the least.

Sukiwone Lovely balm Brilliant product. I usually use Elemis cleansing balm but do find mentioned this product so thought I would try it. It was worth trying as it worked well, soft clean skin & no after effects. It doesn’t smell as much as Elemis but still has a nice aroma. Would buy again. Great cleanser Have used this in the past and it’s a beautiful cleanser, smells nice, lasts ages and removes makeup perfectly, very reasonably priced . So bought another to let my daughter try it she may get hooked on it as wellAnother review read: “Hydrating & gorgeous smelling cleanser. It is as good as a much more pricey similar product.” Jo says: “ Excellent cleanser. As good as the expensive brands. I was using Emma Hardie. Not any longer.”
