Carrotene IPMP Cleansing Balm | Cleansing Balm for Makeup Removal - Helps Reduce Blackheads, Sensitive & Oily Skin, 3.04 fl. oz.

I have been checking out various Korean beauty items as of late when I came across this one. Wasn't sure what to expect since I have mostly used lotion cleansers or Micellular water to take my make-up off. This stuff has an interesting consistency. I would describe it as kind of like a creamy Vaseline maybe? It's NOT sticky like Vaseline though. It's definitely more silky feeling, like a dry oil if that makes sense. It feels a tiny bit greasy going on (as if you were smearing something with the consistency of Crisco on your face) but it does a great job of removing make-up, even thick mascara! What I really love is that my skin feels so soft and hydrated afterwards. It really does melt onto your skin! (I use a damp washcloth to wipe everything off once I have rubbed in it all over my face and neck.) It has a very faint, fresh and fruity scent to it (although I wouldn't say it smells like grapefruit exactly.) Oh, and I have had this product for at least 3+ months and there is still plenty of product left and I use it almost every night. I would highly recommend this product for people with dryer skin. If your skin is more oily, something else may be more suitable for you.

Very good product. Makes your skin really soft and clean

I received a travel sized sample of this with a purchase from Sephora and instantly fell in love! This cleansing balm comes with a little spatula that doses out the perfect amount of balm, (a little bit goes a long way!). Your spread it over dry skin and work it across your face. I then add a bit of water to my hands and use it to emulsify the product. To rinse it off, I use a wash cloth and warm water. My face looks and feels clean, moisturized and flowy. The best part, though, is the fragrance! It's a delicious, orange-y, sherbet-y scent. It seriously smells good enough to eat. I'm a huge fan of this melting, cleansing balm and highly recommend it!

Saw this on TikTok and Instagram and wanted to try it for the blackhead removal. The product was a nice orange and smelled faintly like orange and something floral. The texture was smooth and feels a little like chilled butter before you warm it up with your fingers. As you rub, the product emulsifies and you are able to wash it away with water (kinda like soap). There is a slight residue afterwards but it does go away when you use a normal cleanser (which you are supposed to do since this is oil based) which is included if you bought the set. I didn't buy the carotene facial cleanser but it worked fine with a normal cleanser. It is just the balm and is supposed to come with a spatula but I didn't get one so I used one that I had. Because this product was super hyped, I was expecting great things from it. But at the end of the day, I think it's more of a makeup removing balm that happens to also be able to remove blackheads. I didn't see a big difference in blackhead/whitehead removal. It managed to get the part that was above my skin but anything too deep in the pore was missed. But the product does do a good job at makeup removal and simply melts on your skin. TLDR: Great makeup remover. If you wanted blackhead/whitehead removing power, just stick to a clay mask or pore strips. This won't give you as dramatic results as you think. Perhaps if you used it every day for makeup removal, this might keep you blackhead-less for longer. Just remember to follow up with a normal cleanser or you will break out from the balm.

This is the perfect skin cleanser! I have extremely sensitive skin and any other face wash or facial product destroys my skin, micro, biome, and strips my skin of healthy oils that result in worse breakouts. This does not make my skin break out. It’s very gentle And really does get the sea bomb out of my pores. Recommendation: after you get out of the shower while your skin is open, after you’ve dried off, use this to cleanse your skin. I usually spend about 10 minutes, just making circles on my skin with this, and that draws the sebum out perfectly every time. Then afterwards I use hada labo milky lotion, followed by castor oil. Now I never have any issues with a disrupted, micro, biome anymore, or acne, breakouts, or dry skin at all. Best combination I can recommend! Especially for anybody who has dry, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or eczema.

This balm melts on your skin and removes impurities leaving the skin soft and radiant. I like ho wit smells and I'm very happy with it. It cleans the skin without stripping it of moisture so it would be great for normal to dry skin. It didnt really leave an oily residue or anything, my skin loves it.

Words cannot describe how much I love this cleansing balm. I have bought this 15+ times, I order 2 at a time. It smells great, light scent, it melts perfectly on my face to get my makeup off. This removes every trace of makeup, and I wear a lot of makeup! It's never made me break out or caused any irritation. I'm so glad I found it!

Does the job and removes my makeup but seems like it takes a bit longer to dissolve. It also has a weird smell… it’s not a fragrance and almost smells like chemical. And it stings my eyes. Gonna probably go back to the Dr. Althea balm.

何度もリピートしてる。これが一番刺激もなく、しっかり落ちてしっとりするのにぬるつかない。ダブル洗顔不要らしいけど洗顔します

Absolutely love this cleansing balm. It cleanses but doesn’t strip my skin fry. Thank you AprilSkin

Amazing oil cleanser

I did not hate this product but it does not fully cleanse the face I always had to do double or even more round of cleansing. I will not purchase this product again

Arrived in terrible quantity. Box was soaked in the product, the lid of the contained is damaged too and the cleansing balm inside is basically a soup (bought it before and it’s meant to be thick or dry ish). Do not recommend
