Cleansing balms are one of those things that you do not know you need until you try one. What I love most about them is how conditioning (smoothening) they are on the skin. With so many options on the market, finding a great one can be tricky, but after trying the Heimish All Clean Balm, I can confirm its cult-favourite status. It truly is one of the best cleansing balms I have ever used and, I’ll be sharing with you what exactly makes it so special.
My Experience with the All Clean Balm from Heimish
When shopping for a cleansing balm what is most important for me is finding a product that effortlessly takes off makeup, isn’t a pain to rinse off, and does not clog my pores. So this is what I was looking for in the Heimish All Clean Balm, and I am happy to say it checked all the boxes.Â
Everything from the packaging in a solid round container with a cute little spoon to easily scoop out the product, to the subtle mandarin scent was so pleasant. This solid balm nicely melts into the skin and picks up every oil-based substance and impurity present on the skin (yes! Even waterproof mascara.).
The texture feels nice on the skin with no grittiness and emulsifies into a nice milky texture. I tested it on my full coverage Estée Lauder Double wear foundation, and it took it off in one go with a little scoop. A little amount of product goes a long way, and you do not need to harshly rub your eyes to take off mascara, eye shadow, or eyeliner.Â
This cleanser will last you forever, so if you wear makeup or sunscreen often, it is equally budget-friendly. I started using mine consistently, at least 5x a week in August 2023 and by December 2023 (I switched to something else for review purposes), my jar was just about ¼ gone. That gives you an idea of how long it can last.Â
The rinse-off is very easy and once in contact with water, the balm turns into a light milky lotion. It rinses off without any greasy residue on the skin. Overall using this product makes double cleansing an easy and pleasing process.Â

How does this All Clean Balm Work?
Use this balm as the first cleanse in a double cleansing routine. With the spoon scoop a little amount and warm it between your palms until it melts. This should take a couple of seconds, after which you apply it on your face and clean it for 30 seconds. Rinse off with lukewarm water and follow with a water-based cleanser.Â
