How we count reviews: https://openreviews.io/en/methodology ## AI summary This innovative cleansing balm is designed to effectively remove makeup, impurities, and sunscreen. It stands out for its hygienic twist-dispensing mechanism that grinds the perfect amount of product without contaminating the rest of the jar. Particularly suitable for sensitive skin, it provides great comfort of use and leaves the skin soft and soothed. However, some users report a persistent oily feeling after rinsing or that the product is used up a bit too quickly. In addition, the jar design prevents access to the bottom of the container, which can result in a slight loss of product at the end of use. ## Strengths - Scent (12%) - Size (10%) - Comfort (10%) - Sensations / Usage (10%) - Material / Texture (9%) ## Weaknesses - **Product waste** — The mechanism prevents fully opening the jar to retrieve the remaining balm when the container is running low. - **Rinsing the texture** — Some reviews mention a slight difficulty in completely removing the oily film during cleansing. ## Frequently asked questions - Is the twist system easy to use daily? - Is this balm suitable for very sensitive or reactive skin? - Does it leave a greasy or sticky film on the face after rinsing? - Does the product last a long time despite its format? ## Top reviews ### 5.0/5 · Stéphanie · March 11, 2026 Le produit est très agréable, il démaquille très efficacement tout le maquillage et sans piquer les yeux. Autant dire que je ne me sers plus que de ce produit. ### 5.0/5 · Marion Monléon · October 10, 2025 Trop trop bien, démaquille parfaitement bien sans agresser la peau, laisse la peau douce ! Il n'y en a pas besoin de beaucoup. J'adore 🤩 ### 5.0/5 · Marija · September 23, 2025 One of the best make up remover balms I’ve tried. It doesn’t leave your skin dry and removes all of the make up. No scent which I love. Worth a buy, recommend ### 5.0/5 · Elena Chueva · September 6, 2025 I liked the form factor, it is really comfortable and hygienic, plus helps to use the very amount of product that you need. The balm itself is really smooth to apply, comfortable, has a usual smell of a cleansing balm. Doesn't irritate eyes, doesn't clog pores and in general work as it should. But I don't think that I would buy it again, just because I know products that are more interesting and less expensive. Also I know a balm that washes off more quickly than this one. ### 4.0/5 · Vi He · August 31, 2025 Love this & how it feels - But i found one that has double the product content and costs pretty much the same! ### 5.0/5 · NJT · August 25, 2025 Like it . Convenient packagingRemoves all make up easily and feels nice on the skinWashes off easily as wellAlready bought a second ! ### 5.0/5 · Bridie Flynn · August 21, 2025 Fabulous product. Rich creamy make up remover. And only a tiny amount needed. Also, i love the way it dispenses. No waste ### 5.0/5 · Nfs · August 16, 2025 One of the best cleansing balm I've ever used. Not clumpy at all. Easy to melt when rub on your hands. Removed the make up without irritating the skins & feels moisturised. ### 5.0/5 · AmazonAddict · August 8, 2025 I love how this product is dispensed from the jar. Little waste and very hygienic! It is soft and silky, glides on skin. I love it. Also, it is highly hydrating and effective with removing make up, especially mascara. Well worth your hard earned money! I highly recommend! ### 4.0/5 · A · August 6, 2025 listen, i LOVE THIS. but it didn’t last me as long as i wanted ㅠ. was wonderful at removing makeup and cleansing. no scent at all, sturdy packaging, and to me very hygienic the way it twists out rather than having to dip in the product. i just wish it had more product for the price tag! --- _Source: OpenReviews — https://openreviews.io/en/reviews/dralthea/dr-althea-pure-grinding-cleansing-balm-8809447255071_
