So here’s a peek at my favorite cleansing balms of 2023, along with the best formulas recommended by our experts, below. And because I'm that obsessed with them, I personally tested and reviewed some of the best on the market and consulted board-certified dermatologists Fatima Fahs, MD Mona Gohara, MD and Karan Lal, MD, for all the deets.

And, as a daily wearer of waterproof eyeliner, cream eyeshadow, and lip stains, I need a heavy-duty makeup remover to get my face clean, which is where my favorite cleansing balms come in.Īs a refresher, cleansing balms can dissolve even the most saturated makeup without leaving your skin stripped or greasy. Cleansing oils or balms are commonly used as the first part of a two-step K-beauty process called double-cleansin g-i.e., my favorite way to thoroughly clean my face. My skin became the smoothest, clearest, and softest it has ever been when I incorporated a cleansing balm into my skincare routine.
