Farmacy Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm - Honey Vanilla Waterproof Makeup Remover Balm + Oil Cleanser for Face - Gently Melts Make Up + SPF - Hydrates + Softens Skin with Honey + Papaya (100ml)

I tend to love vanilla but dislike the scent of honey because it tends to stink (in my opinion). So there was a 50% chance I would end up hating this cleansing balm. Luckily, this smells amazing! The vanilla note is sweet and warm but not cloying. The honey note is barely noticeable. The formulation of the balm has its pros and cons. Since it’s more on the solid side, it doesn’t melt and leak out of the jar in warmer climates. It’s great for travel! The tradeoff is the chunky texture of the balm when you scoop it out of the jar. It is not a smooth sherbet texture that you can spread all over your face right away. You’ll need to rub your hands together for a bit to melt all of the chunks. The balm itself functions well. It removes my sunscreen and makeup. It doesn’t irritate my eyes and rinses off easily with warm water. If I massage my nose with this cleansing balm for a few minutes, lots of hardened sebum plugs get dislodged from my pores. My skin ends up feeling smoother and soft. Overall, this is a great cleansing balm. Its lovely scent brightens my mood whenever I use it and it does what a cleansing balm is meant to do. The initial chunkiness of the formula isn’t a major issue. This is my fourth time repurchasing.

The Farmacy Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm (Honey Vanilla) has quickly become a staple in my routine. This stuff works. It melts away everything—foundation, sunscreen, and even stubborn waterproof mascara—without any harsh rubbing. The balm transforms into a silky oil as you massage it in, breaking down makeup quickly and thoroughly. What I love most is how gentle and nourishing it feels. My skin never feels stripped or tight afterward—just clean, soft, and hydrated. The honey and papaya ingredients really give it that extra boost, leaving my skin smooth and refreshed. The scent is light and pleasant—slightly sweet and warm without being overpowering, which makes the whole experience feel a little more elevated. It rinses off easily (especially with a bit of water to emulsify), and it works great as the first step in a double cleanse. Overall, if you’re looking for an effective, gentle makeup remover that leaves your skin feeling amazing, this is absolutely worth it. A little goes a long way, and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing.

I love the way this makeup remover makes my skin feel. I have very sensitive skin and the smell is pleasant. Very effective in removing makeup. Also, came with a scoop.

Love the balm to oil texture and it removes all my makeup including mascara. Only need a bit to cover my whole face. It’s very similar to the Clinique take off the day cleaning balm but with a nice honey scent!

Expensive but worth it! Super gentle but thoroughly cleanses and soothes sensitive skin. I’m only 3rd order and still love it!

Works beautifully. It doesn’t bother my eyes like a lot of cleansing balms do. And I love the smell.

This is my favorite cleanser that easily cleans mascara and hard to remove makeup. It leaves my skin soft and is great on my sensitive skin.

one of my favorite balm cleansers. Works so well, doesn't feel like it strips the skin, feels so clean and moisturized after using!!! Also smells so good.
