A year-long user finds the BoJ balm removes makeup smoothly and unscented, but it stings their eyes and leaves skin feeling raw.
“I woild say it's good to remove makeup eyeliner foundation. Reslly smooth u don't have to rub really hard. No scent.”
A user calls the BoJ cleansing balm their holy grail for removing full makeup or just sunscreen, buying it cheaply at TJ Maxx.
“The cleansing balm is my holy grail. I love it when taking off full-face makeup or just a sunscreen-only day.”
After nearly emptying it, a user would repurchase the Radiance Cleansing Balm, which removed full makeup and stubborn lash glue.
“This balm made me feel so CLEAN washing that all off. Most notably the eyelash glue (which I will be reviewing shortly) was so adhesive that this balm really helped make sure the glue was coming off!”
A user found the BoJ cleansing balm effective but didn't like its waxy smell.
“I did not get on with the cleansing balm due to the waxy smell, but it did work like it is supposed to.”
A user calls the Beauty of Joseon cleansing balm an awesome product and their go-to makeup remover for the past year.
“Turns out it’s an awesome product and it’s been my ride or die makeup remover for the past year now”
A super-dry user uses the Radiance Cleansing Balm as their only cleanse, finding it fragrance-free, effective on mascara and cheaper than Clinique's.
“It’s super similar to Clinique Take the Day Off balm, but more affordable and effective. I like that it’s fragrance-free, not gritty, and removes all my mascara.”
A user rates the Radiance Cleansing Balm 8/10 for removing sunscreen and makeup, but it burns their eyes and struggles with waterproof makeup.
“The issue I have with it is that it burns my eyes. So if you get it, please avoid the eye areas. It does a great job on removing sunscreen and makeup, except the hard waterproof makeup.”
Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.
A new favorite balm: makeup wiped off in seconds and rinsed without residue.
“My makeup wiped off within seconds and rinsed off easily without any residue”
Removes makeup and sunscreen well and emulsifies nicely, comparable to Banila Co or Heimish balms.
“This is a nice balm cleanser. It removes makeup and sunscreen well and emulsifies nicely”
Lovely texture and packaging but it turns to oil immediately and doesn't seem to emulsify enough to cleanse well.
“texture is lovely but turns straight away to oil when you rub it in, which gives me the illusion of it not cleansing well as I feel like it doesn't emulsify enough”
