Sharonspendstoomuch review for Radiance Cleansing Balm

I was given the opportunity to try this cleanser via a “Try Me Review Me” event in exchange for my honest review. This cleanser is a sherbet oil-based balm formula that melts away all traces of makeup without stinging eyes. It features Rice Bran water and grain extracts to deeply nourish, moisturize, and brighten skin. Rice Water is rich in amino acids and minerals and some of its benefits include: ▪️Soothes sun damage ▪️Calms redness ▪️Protects skin barrier ▪️Provides anti-aging benefits The Radiance cleansing balm contains Rice Bran Water, Rice bran oil and Rice bran extract. Other key ingredients include: ▪️Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract ▪️Sea Buckthorn ▪️Oat Extract ▪️Job’s Tears ▪️Glycerin ▪️Propanediol Packaging and Texture: ▪️100 ml plastic tub with a lift-off lid and white spatula, has a clear plastic lid to protect product ▪️Soft-white sherbet balm formula, with no added fragrance or essential oils ▪️Cruelty-free and vegan formula, retails for $19 This version of the cleanser is “renewed” with upgraded packaging and reformulated to better withstand temperature changes, so you can keep it in the bathroom without worry. I like how I can just pop the lid up and down, but the clear plastic lid can only be removed by screwing open the jar. I found it was a pain in the neck to do that every time but this is a minor issue tgat can be resolved by just taking it out. I really like the sherbet balm texture, as it melts into the skin, changing from the balm texture to an oil, and then turns milky as you add water. I use this cleanser at night as part of my double-cleansing routine. I take 1 scoop of balm, apply it to my hands and massage onto dry skin with my fingertips on my face and neck. As it turns into the oil consistency, I continue to massage it for about 1 minute total, just to ensure that all sunscreen and makeup (if wearing) melts away. Then I use some lukewarm water to emulsify into a milky texture and use my hands (or a soft cloth) to wash off the cleanser. Then I follow-up with a 2nd gentle cleanser (either a milk or non-foaming cleanser) to ensure all traces of makeup etc. are removed. It does remove eye products without stinging the eyes, but as I wear waterproof tube mascara, I use a special eye makeup remove before using my oil-based cleanser. This is a great cleanser in my opinion! It is very easy to wash off, and it does not leave a greasy/oily film after using. It also does a good job of removing ALL makeup without irritation or stripping the skin. I like how it has no added fragrance or essential oils. This is a great balm cleanser for all skin types, but especially for those with dry, aging skin like mine. I would definitely repurchase this balm, as it is less expensive than my #1 favorite (Farmacy Green Clean) and removes my eye makeup better than my #2 favorite (Banila Co). It also has no scent (as best I can tell) so if you don’t like products with natural fragrance, I highly recommend this balm.
