THE MELTING CLEANSE

From Silky Balm to Rinse-Clean Milk

The balm melts as you massage, helping loosen makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup. Add lukewarm water and it turns milky, so the cleansing oils can rinse away. That water step makes the difference: massage first, emulsify next, then rinse thoroughly.

FAQ

Does Celimax cleansing balm remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. This oil-based cleansing balm is designed to dissolve waterproof makeup, sunscreen and daily impurities. Massage gently for 1–2 minutes, add lukewarm water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Heavy makeup may need a little more product.

Do I use this cleansing balm on dry or wet skin?

Start on dry skin with dry hands. Massage first so the balm can melt and loosen makeup. Add lukewarm water afterward to turn it milky, then rinse.

Do I need a face wash after using cleansing balm?

You can use it as the first step of a double cleanse, followed by your usual water-based cleanser. Celimax’s suggested Dual Barrier routine places the cleansing balm before a gel cleanser. Adjust your routine to your skin and the amount of makeup you wear.

Is it suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

Celimax positions this formula for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. It contains five ceramides, panthenol and vitamin E, with no added artificial fragrance. Patch test before first use; individual skin responses vary.

Will cleansing balm leave an oily film?

Emulsifying is the key step. After massaging on dry skin, add lukewarm water and massage again until the balm turns milky. Rinse thoroughly. Using too much balm or skipping emulsification can leave a heavier feel.

Can I use it around my eyes?

It is a makeup-removing facial cleanser, but avoid getting the product directly into your eyes. Keep eyes closed, use very gentle pressure around the eye area and rinse thoroughly. Stop if discomfort occurs. Check separate guidance for lash extensions.

Does this balm contain retinol or exfoliating acids?

Retinol and AHA/BHA exfoliating acids are not listed in the published formula for this cleansing balm. Its purpose is to remove makeup, sunscreen and impurities. It is a different product from Celimax Retinol or Retinal Shot serums.

How does the twist-up grinder container work?

Twist the container to dispense thin ribbons of balm onto the top plate. Take the amount you need with clean, dry hands, then replace the lid. You do not need to dig into the whole jar with a spatula.

Is this cleansing balm fragrance-free and non-comedogenic?

Celimax states that the formula contains no artificial fragrance and has been non-comedogenic tested. Neither statement guarantees that every person will tolerate it, so check the full ingredients and patch test.

What size do I receive, and is this a refill?

This listing is for one Celimax Dual Barrier Purifying Cleansing Balm in the 50 ml / 1.69 fl. oz. grinder-style container. It is a single full-size product, not a serum, refill pouch or two-piece set.
