Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm: What the Reviews Say

If you have sensitive eyes, don’t worry. A 31-year-old reviewer shared, “This product makes makeup removal effortless. My eyelids get very irritated by eye makeup remover and this cleansing balm easily and effectively removes all of my makeup and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean.”

It’s also fantastic for parched skin. A 47-year-old user praised the balm’s hydrating properties: “The balm formula takes off all makeup and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and not dry.”

Another 47-year-old reviewer couldn’t help but rave about its effectiveness: “This is one of the best products that I have used to clean my face and remove my makeup. It melts the makeup away. I use it as a double cleanse. I remove the makeup with the cleansing balm and then use a cleanser. My skin afterwards is super clean and ready for my nighttime skin-care routine. There is no other product like this one. I love it!”

A 32-year-old fan highlighted its pleasant texture and scent: “The best cleansing balm on the market. It has a subtle, pleasant smell and a fluffy, non-greasy texture. I like that it takes off all my makeup and doesn’t leave any residue.”

Another 32-year-old reviewer appreciated its efficiency: “No more raccoon eyes. Your face feels so clean after using this without leaving a greasy hard-to-remove residue and removes all your eye makeup without stinging your eyes.”

Finally, a 60-year-old user declared it the best balm she has ever used: “I love this product. It is the best balm I have ever used. It removes makeup, but does not leave a residue!”

Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm stands out for its ability to meet the diverse needs of different age groups. Its key ingredients include sunflower and ginger root oils to remove makeup, moringa tree extract to purify the skin, and papaya extract to gently exfoliate. To use, simply apply a small amount to dry skin, massage in circular motions, and rinse off with warm water. Follow up with a foaming or gel cleanser for an extra cleanse, but per these reviews, it’s certainly not a requirement.
