    I've also noticed a shortage of drugstore cleansing balms, which is surprising considering how popular they've quickly become over the last few years. I enjoy the Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil. It does contain fragrance. However, it's very light and pleasant. I find it unproblematic in wash form for my finicky, sensitive skin. Happy, gentle cleansing, everyone!

    Agree 100% w/ Dr. Dray on how relaxing it feels to massage cleansing balm in at end of day. Ahhh… so nice! I use Clinique Take The Day Off - spendy but I watch Ulta for sales. Also agree on how effective double-cleanse is without a lot of scrubbing & rubbing which can aggravate rosacea. I’ll always use a double-cleanse now, and so appreciate Dr. Dray for teaching us about this. Seriously if you haven’t tried it, give it a whirl!

    🤗 Dr. Dray I've followed your recommendation on using the "Neutrogena unscented sesame body oil" as the first step of my double cleansing routine. It works wonders! It breaks down the long wearing foundations including water proof mascara and you get more for your buck. I haven't experienced any break out either. It's great. Thank you.
    Cool Tip: I transfer mine in a small spray bottle. It's very convenient for applying and traveling. I spray my face a few times, I rub it in to break down the makeup, use cotton pads for the eye area, rise off and follow with my facial cleanser (CeraVe hydrating cream to foam cleanser). I cleance 2×, one to get the residue of oil and any makeup left over and the second to truly clean. Then I proceeded with the rest of my routine.

    Agreed we are starving for cleansing balms in the US. They tend to be on the pricier side too. I currently use Burt’s Bees cleansing oil. Dissolves my makeup soooooo well. Very satisfying. Then I follow up with a gentle cleanser. I’ve also used Elf’s melting balm. Not bad at all. I didn’t even know CeraVe and Neutrogena had cleansing balms! 🤦🏻‍♀️

    As a retired esthetician I have a couple suggestions: Use the back of your natural thumbnail and wipe onto your face where it melts onto your skin. Worked as an esthetician for several years. And when you run out of a non pump item cut the tube or plastic container then you can remove the last of a product then slip the top over the bottom til it’s all gone. Hope this helps!😊

      This is actually a very good cleansing balm! I really enjoy using this one I was using the glow recipe one before I started this one! And yes they are pretty much in the same price range if you were to get a bigger size of this one you would pay pretty much the same price as glow recipe! But I have to say it takes such a very small amount to actually clean your entire face but I also go in with a second cleanse so. I really enjoy using it and once again because it doesn't take a whole bunch it does last so it is worth the price you get a lot of great ingredients in it and it is super gentle on your face and it really does clean your face properly! I use prescription Retin-A Tretinoin Cream! So I have to use products that are very gentle for my sensitive skin that is made even more sensitive due to this prescription extremely powerful cream! So for me this is very good at a very good price! You don't need a big giant glob of it and I think that's where people are thinking that it's overpriced because they use cleansing balms wrong! The point of it is you're using it as a second cleanse at night meaning you will use another cleanser afterwards so you do not need to use a big giant glob to make this effective! You literally only need a pearl size to go over your entire face and then you will go in with another cleanse! I actually use the cleansing balm first then I use another cleanser and then I actually use a third one with a lot of hyaluronic acid in it! I use a ton of sunscreen everyday I use more than the recommended amount because once again I use very powerful prescription creams from my dermatologist so I like to make sure my face is very protected during the day! I don't use a lot of makeup I only do a full face of makeup if I'm going on a date night with my husband or on a special occasion I used tinted sunscreen during the day and clear brow gel and I use a lip balm or lip oil and that's it! But if you're not using the proper amount of sunscreen everyday then it doesn't matter what you're doing to your skin or what you're using because it's all pointless! I spend my high in dollars on quality sunscreen! My prescription Retin-A Tretinoin Cream it's not covered by my Blue Cross Blue shield because I don't use it for acne I have never had acne luckily I use it for cosmetic reasons for anti-aging so I pay full price for that prescription! And that prescription cost me almost $500 for one tube! But that tube last Me 3 months! So my point was this is not a expensive cleansing balm it's actually very affordable when you get into real skin care and use real powerful ingredients especially when you go to a dermatologist and get prescriptions and do other anti-aging treatments like I do laser treatments that's where real money comes in that's where you should put your real coin into is those prescriptions and treatments!

However, I have a very sensitive with a little rosecea skin type and I really enjoy this one. It's around 20$ and I keep repurchasing it. I find it hard but soft to take it and easy to work it onto the skin. I use the Aveeno mineral spf 50 and sometimes the Zorah mineral tinted spf 30.

    Scoopydoodle! I love it!! I also agree with you! I recently purchased the Elf cleansing balm and it was fairly hard to get to break down quickly and was stiff like Neutrogena. I hate taking the time to wash my face at night (after getting 7 little ones between 2-9 yrs old to bed I just want to sit down and then fall into bed!) it drives me crazy to have to dig a balm out and rub it on my face forever before it gets oily. Thanks so much for your info! I definitely rely on you to know what's going to work - and what the experience is like for all products! 💜

      Seven little ones! That's awesome. I have five boys and my spread is greater (3 to 13). I love them and they exhaust me! The oil part of my double-cleanse is like a facial massage and makeup remover in one. My night isn't the same without it!

    Sloths come with inbuilt scoopy-doodles, but imagine how difficult is for them to use the Neutrogena balm! 🦥
    Btw, I have a back-up supply of a (discontinued) cleansing balm that I snapped up for AU$1 a tub...which also included a scoopy-doodle! It is a bit thick in consistancy, but I don't mind at that price; but it's also favourable for removing waterproof mascara. Having it at the ready, gives a new meaning to home shopping.
    My skincare stash is a lot easier to shop now that it is all organised into categories.

    My favorite first step cleansing remains Hada Labo, though if my skin feels drier in the winter, I’ll use a cleansing balm, then finish up with a LaRoche-Posay or Cetaphil cleanser. I was hesitant to use anything oily as a first cleanse because I have oily skin in warm weather, but the cleansing oil works well, takes off all my sunscreen and emulsifies, then rinses well. So, thanks, Dr. Dray, because I wouldn’t have tried a cleansing oil without your review.

    After cleansing my face twice with the Neurogeana cleansing balm, I returned it to Sam's Club. Yes, it was a good price at 2.6oz for TWO jars of the balm for around $15, BUT, I agree with Dr. Dray that it was a very hard product to move around on a dry face to start the dissolving process in the shower. ALSO, the fragrance was a SMELLY one. My jar smelled RANCID...ugh. There were reviews online saying the same thing about the smell, but I thought I'd try it anyway b/c of the price point. Like Dr. Dray says, you get what you pay for!

The price point is very close to these drugstore brands, but they offer more luxe. Their make-up, eye shadows, etc.- beautiful , can't be beat. Also in my opinion.

    Does anyone else remember Pond’s cleansing balm?? They actually came out with it a few years ago but it’s since been discontinued. Not sure why as it was an allure Best Of Beauty award winner in 2018. I mean the price was literally around $5 or $6 for 3.5oz!! The formula was very nice - silky, smooth and did an excellent job of removing waterproof makeup and sunscreen alike. It washed off clean without leaving any residue and the only gripe I had with it was the scent. It was very HEAVLY fragranced. However if it were still available today I would definitely purchase it.
