Review: Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original

I recently purchased Banila Co’s Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original from a beauty store in Shin-Okubo, often dubbed the K-town of Shinjuku. After using it consistently for a month, I’m genuinely impressed. Keep reading to discover why and I assure you it’ll be concise.

FEATURES

1. Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original is a versatile 3-in-1 cleansing balm designed to effortlessly dissolve stubborn face and eye makeup, delivering a thorough cleanse in one step.
2. It transitions from a sherbet-like consistency to a silky oil upon contact with the skin.
3. Powered by Zero Balance Technology, it purifies and gently exfoliates without over-drying, ensuring skin remains moisturized and revitalized.
4. Suitable for all skin types.

HOW TO USE

Use the spatula to scoop the balm. Gently massage in circular motions onto dry skin using your fingertips. Rinse well with lukewarm water or wipe off with a face cloth or tissue. Gently pat skin to dry.

PROS

1. Formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, alcohol, and artificial coloring.
2. Formulated with active botanicals, hot springs water, vitamin E and vitamin C.
3. Comes with a spatula.
   
   
4. The formula delivers on its promises without any mess. Unlike traditional cleansing oils, this one guarantees no drips and there’s no need to add water to activate its potency.
5. It’s gentle on my sensitive skin. Being alcohol-free, it doesn’t induce redness and my eyes feel comfortable with it.
6. It’s a thumbs-up for my acne-prone skin. I’ve noticed no breakouts the day after use.
7. Efficiently eliminates 95% of light makeup in a single application.
8. Leaves the skin feeling comfortable without any tightness.
9. Leaves my skin feeling smooth and fresh.

CONS

1. It struggles to remove every trace of makeup, particularly my resilient waterproof eyeliner.
2. It’s on the higher end of the price spectrum, at least in my perspective.

Among all the makeup removers I’ve tried, Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original stands out even if it doesn’t achieve 100% removal. I believe I’ve discovered my go-to makeup remover and am likely to buy it again.
