Has anyone tried a gentle face cleansing balm that removes makeup without drying the skin?

Lately I’ve been paying more attention to how I cleanse my skin, especially at night. I realised that many cleansers leave my face feeling tight or stripped, which made my skin produce even more oil later.

Recently, I started using Cedar of the Forest – An Emulsifying Cleansing Balm, and I’ve had a really pleasant experience with it. It starts as a rich balm and turns into a milky texture when you add water, which makes it very easy to rinse off.

What I liked most is that it removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily dirt without being harsh. My skin feels clean but still soft and hydrated, not dry or irritated. It also has a calming, natural fragrance that makes cleansing feel more like a ritual than a chore.

If you’re looking for a gentle face cleansing balm, this might be worth trying — especially if your skin feels sensitive or dehydrated after regular cleansers.
