The INKEY ListOat Cleansing Balm 5 Fl Oz/150ml, Dissolves Makeup, Nourishing Skincare, Gentle Cleanser, Vegan Friendly, Suitable For All Skin Types

I was using this product wrong and it left me very frustrated. It is not a cleanser, despite what the tube says. But it is fantastic as a makeup remover BEFORE you cleanse, if you follow these steps.1. Start with dry skin (ignore what the bottle says).• Don’t wet your face first. This balm works by melting into oils and breaking down makeup or sunscreen when massaged on dry skin.2. Use a quarter-sized amount and warm it between your fingers.• It’s thick—almost like Vaseline—so warming it helps you spread it more evenly.3. Massage into dry skin for at least 60–90 seconds.• Focus on areas with heavy makeup (eyes, lips, forehead, smile lines).• Think of it like loosening a stain—friction helps break down long-wear products.4. Emulsify by adding a small splash of water to your face.• It’ll turn slightly milky. This step helps it rinse off more cleanly and prevents the greasy feeling.5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water OR…• Better yet: Remove with a warm, damp washcloth. This will physically lift off the makeup and balm.6. Follow with your cleanser.• This balm should always be Step 1 in a double cleanse.

This stuff is AMAZING! I’ll never use makeup wipes again. Get your face wet, rub this cleanser on your face, and your makeup will be gone within a minute. You can use it all over your eyes and when you rinse it away it won’t burn. I LOVE this for mascara removal. It leaves your skin so soft afterwards too thanks to the honey. Please PLEASE buy this, you won’t regret it.

I like this product but at the same time it’s incredibly thick, less like a balm and far more like an ointment. It’s gentle on the skin. It’s a reasonable price for a lot of product but I just feel when I wash my face afterwards with soap it still feels like it’s not all off my face which then causes issues with my other products properly penetrating the skin.

This is one of my all time favorite clensers!! It does an amazing job breaking down makeup! The formula is really creamy, you just have to make sure you shake it well before use because sometimes the oil can start to seperate if sitting for a long period of time. It leaves my skin feeling clean and moisterized, it's just so smooth!! For travel purposes, I recommend putting it in a ziplock bag because sometimes the oil can start to leak out.

Needed something with oats for some itchy skin and thus was priced better than Aveeno and seems more organic. Plus can not beat the price!

EDIT: I’ve decided to include pictures to emphasize the difference! Pictures of me in brown and blue are while I was using the product, and pictures of me and green are both literally only 5 - 7 days after I STOPPED using it. hope this helps.I highly advise against using this product if you struggle with atopic dermatitis/eczema, or just have sensitive skin in general. This product contains phenoxyethanol, which is a harsh chemical that can make your eczema worse!It’s normal for people like me with sensitive skin to have severe allergic reactions and suffer from skin irritation because of this chemical.I’m quite ignorant when it comes to ingredients and chemicals in products, but when I saw that this was an “oat cleanser” I figured it would work great to soothe eczema patches I would get on my face here and there, while removing makeup.However, when I noticed how terribly my eczema was triggered while I used this cleansing balm, I started doing a little research.At first, I cleaned up my diet and started taking Omega 3 and Vitamin D daily; face was still EXTREMELY dry, especially toward the end of the day. I’ve always been someone with an oily face at the end of the day, but it was suddenly dry like the Sahara Desert.After I read the ingredients and ceased use of this product immediately, I noticed a difference almost overnight. It’s been only five days since I stopped using this, and my skin looks COMPLETELY different. I’m drinking the same amount of water, but it looks so much more hydrated.It took me 2 months to realize this was damaging my skin. Please read this review and take it as a cautionary tale if you have sensitive skin and/or eczema! I never write reviews, but am hoping this deters just 1 person from buying this. We need to start reading the ingredients on the products we use.Phenoxyethanol is NOT a safe product to use for your skin care!

I wanted an affordable balm cleanser with fewer synthetic ingredients -- most of the brands that work well have a lot of ingredients I'd rather not use. This is good ingredient-wise, but although it does the job it's so oily I might as well just use a plant oil instead. I live in a cold place but the formula is almost always liquid and I have to store the tube on the narrow end so it doesn't leak everywhere. It does not rinse away fully, so I only use it in the first part of a double cleanse. There's no way I could use this in a hot climate. I have oily, acne-prone skin but it hasn't caused any pimples yet. Still, I would only recommend this for those with very dry skin.
