Watch your makeup melt away! It’s solid cleansing balm that melts into a luxurious oil and turns into a nourishing milk texture that rinses off clean. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and peptides leaving your skin feeling silky smooth and plumped with hydration.

Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Once again, according to elfcosmetics.com:

Hyaluronic Acid – helps hydrate and plump the skin.

Ceramides – to help build up the skin's moisture barrier.

Peptides – helps reveal a more refreshed complexion.

What is the texture like?

This starts off as a very lightweight balm that turns into an oil when warmed up in the hands. 

Is this scented?

I'm unsure how to describe the scent of this - it's clean yet has hints of something fruity and floral in a way that's not cloyingly sweet or overpoweringly floral, it's mostly just the clean scent. I personally really enjoy it.

What has my experience with the product been like?

Honestly, I feel like every time I review a makeup remover I come in here talking about how it's impressed me but I have to say - I am impressed. I love that I've found a makeup removing balm that gets rid of lash glue residue and long-wear eyeliner and the rest of the heavy makeup I like wearing at an approachable price point. It cleans my face without leaving residue behind, I don't need a lot of product to get my makeup off, and I love the way this smells. I look forward to using it.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
