I’m not one to be super picky with products when the market has barely anything to offer with your specific needs on cleansing balms - such as finding cleansers that don’t take years to deliver; like on the K-Beauty side - plus my skin concerns. Papaya extract is gentle enough for even the most sensitive of skin and particularly effective for use around the delicate eye area. Today I wanted to share a review of the Farmacy Green Clean Meltaway Cleansing Balm with Echinacea GreenEnvy (which will be shortened to “Green Clean” in this post), which I bought during the Sephora VIB sale last month.

I was using the Very Cherry Clean in my first trimester, and the cherry fragrance felt a little too strong for me, so I loved Green Clean more during that sensitive time. Use your fingertips to massage into skin with gentle upward and outward circular motions, focusing on areas that need attention (like eye makeup).

Compared to oil cleansers, balms seem to work better for me dissolving more makeup with just one application.

I love trying different cleansers but I no longer care to look for new cleansing balms because this is just perfect in my eyes. I feel like the scent probably wouldn’t be overbearing for most people, unless you are particularly sensitive to fragrances in skincare. When I attempted to remove eye makeup with the Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm it always left a stringy white film in my eyes which was troublesome to remove, it also left my vision slightly blurry until that residue was removed and my eyes would end up puffy the next morning.

I am already a big fan of the Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm, so I knew that I was going to like this limited edition Strawberry Shortcake Clean version. Honestly, I feel like I should just ditch that liner – it’s a little sketchy just how difficult it is to remove.The scent is gentle – it smells very faintly of limes, which according to Sephora’s Clean Seal, means that the fragrance is 99% natural.
