Hi Melissa great video,but I treat this cleansing balm like I would others, I apply to a dry face, rub in, then add water to emulsify it breaking up make up and sunscreen( this is where the magic happens) then rinse and wipe gently with a soft cloth if you feel any residue. If I want to use as a mask especially before I get into the bath I apply to a clean dry face, ( like how masks should be applied ) this stops my face from drying out while I’m having a bath. I have no idea why the inkey list says to apply to a wet face on the package, but I have tried both ways and prefer applying to a dry face and so on, however this is just my opinion, and everybody should do what feels right for themselves. You’re videos are very informative none the less😊
Hello Monica, Not all Balm cleansers have to be applied on dry skin; some can be applied on wet/damp or on dry skin; it just depends on the formulation of the cleanser 😉 Not sure about the mask part, but I assumed that the idea was to leave it on the skin while gently massaging it into it; it's kind of a cleanser masque hybrid. So that you hydrate the face while washing it at the same time. And thank you. 🍰
I've tried this and also some other fat-based cleaners and it's not bad, but I still prefer Clinique's Take the Day Off. Starts at 3:45 btw if you want to get straight to the demonstration.
Hello 😃 Hmm, to remove makeup or sunscreen, The Ordinary works much better. However, this cleanser makes the skin feel very soft and hydrated afterwards. So as a daily balm cleanser, The Inkey List.
No. It's very smooth. But for how long do you have it 🤔? Because from my experience, if it is an older product, the texture change, and it's almost "unusable". Not sure why it does that 🤷🏻♀️
Is the texture of this cleansing balm 'grainy'. I was used to using Beauty Of Joseon's cleansing balm which is too light weight and gentle. Compared to that this one is too thick and feels grainy
This is m favorite cleansing balm. It gets everything of without stripping my skin or leaving it overly oily. Perfect for my double cleansing routine. I wanna use more inkey list product specially ones for anti aging and brightening. Do you have any suggestions
Hello again :) I just checked your last comment, so are you still using the retinoid? Or if you tell me what you currently use, I can help you better. 🙂
I currently have acne. When I use the balm, I still feel a residue, even after the salicylic acid cleanser. Do I need to use a cloth to remove the balm, because I don’t want to damage skin whilst I have painful acne😭
A soft washcloth will not damage the skin, so yes, you can use one. Furthermore, if you don't like the current cleansing balm, consider switching to another one. Options include the G&G Mighty Melt Cleansing Balm or the Beauty of Joseon Cleansing Balm.
According to the comments, it can be stripping. According to my husband and me, no, it works well. Still, it may depend on your overall skin condition and the products you use along with it! :)
@@LaraCookie5Yes, I understand how you want to use them, and it can work. However, I would recommend using a mild, hydrating foaming cleanser instead, such as the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you! Tbh, I don’t like this cleanser. I’ve noticed that it lefts a weird oily residue so I’ll have to look into the one you’ve recommended.
@@LaraCookie5 Yeah, that's why I wouldn't use the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser afterwards. Beauty of Joseon's Balm Cleanser and their Green Plum Cleanser are two of my favorites.
Hi darling please tell about these products brand:Guerlain, undertwenty, dr irena eris,Hanskin,obagi,Lirene and Pharmaceris. Please make review videos of them🙌❤️please please please read my comment. These aren't famous but i heard great reviews about them
Hey, 😃 I haven't planned to review/show these products, but that does not mean that I won't do it in the future. But for sure not over the following months, or let's say not this year since I have planned other products that I want to show.
Yes, my husband uses it, and it works well. But not sure if that's the only cleanser you should use. The Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser would be the other option. So if you do not use another cleanser or exfoliant, I recommend getting both and alternate :) And yes you can use Niacinamide afterwards.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial last question hehe. I have little acnes on my cheek area which would you prefer as a cleanser, the ordinary or the inkey list? ☺️
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser! :) However, if you do not use a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser yet, I recommend looking into this too for your acne :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i actually have doubt about it.. cause whenever i eat yeast containing food.. i got pimples on my forehead.. so i actually don’t know whether it is or not
@@mahzabinmaria72 Well, you may not tolerate the food well. I have the same with pure milk. But to clear things up, you need to visit a local doctor/dermatologist to do some tests; there is no way around it. Or avoid the food that you think is giving your breakouts.

I use it on dry skin and then emulsify! Works great for me!
Yes, I think it's just a personal preference 😃

Your hair and haircolor is gorgeous! I love your videos always!! Born to lead!
Thank you so much!! 💕

Your skin looks great Melissa!
Oh thank you! 😉
Great video with extensive complete explanation 👍🏻 Do you prefer this cleanser or the Squalane cleanser from The Ordinary ?
Hello 😃
Hmm, to remove makeup or sunscreen, The Ordinary works much better. However, this cleanser makes the skin feel very soft and hydrated afterwards. So as a daily balm cleanser, The Inkey List.
Love your videos x
❤️
Love the lipstick!
💄😃🥰
Does your TIL oat cleansing balm have a "gritty" texture? If so, would kneading the tube mix it up better? Thx ☺️
No. It's very smooth. But for how long do you have it 🤔? Because from my experience, if it is an older product, the texture change, and it's almost "unusable". Not sure why it does that 🤷🏻♀️
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I’ve heard from someone who bought it new 3xs and experienced graininess instantly but mines is smooth as well! 🤷♀
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficiali just got mine and it's gritty....
Is the texture of this cleansing balm 'grainy'. I was used to using Beauty Of Joseon's cleansing balm which is too light weight and gentle. Compared to that this one is too thick and feels grainy
Hm...you may need to give it a good shake before using it.
Nice hair!
Thank you!!

i hate the feeling of the residue. as soon as I'm done with this one I'm going back to the elf cleansing balm.
i think im going to use a small amount as a leave on product to go with my vit C, because it contains pure vitamin E
Hii, when do you recommend to use the balm as a mask? In the morning or night?
Can be used in the morning or evening :)
Hi great video. Can it be used as a mask for 10 minutes then double cleanse with panoxyl?
Yes, absolutely
Hi Melissa ! This would be perfect for dry skin ?
Hello Denise, Yes, it is :)
Does anyone know How i should store the ost cleansing balm? Because mine has turned liquidy?
Yeah, that seems to be an issue. But just shake it well before use.
And I am not sure what is actually causing this 🤔 Would be interesting to know.
Hii, i know this isn't about the salicylic acid cleanser, but could you use that daily? Or would it be too stripping?
According to the comments, it can be stripping. According to my husband and me, no, it works well. Still, it may depend on your overall skin condition and the products you use along with it! :)
Can I use Ceraves cleanser for dry skin as a second cleanser?
While using the oat cleanser? Hm...I wouldn't do that, however, it isn't wrong.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial No, first the oat cleanser to remove sunscreen and then the cerave one as a second cleanser?
@@LaraCookie5Yes, I understand how you want to use them, and it can work. However, I would recommend using a mild, hydrating foaming cleanser instead, such as the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser.

Have they changed the formula? I got a new bottle and it leaves on an oily residue!
I haven't ordered a new one in quite some time, so I'm not sure about that.
Hello my skin is oily and have redness on cheeks . Can i use this cleanser ?
Yes, that's fine! :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial its okay. I can wait for this😘💖please add Lancer Skincare products to these brands review
Hello ! Can I use this with my CeraVe Foaming facial cleanser?
Yes you can! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank u!
Melissa can I use these for oily skin with niacinamide serum?
Yes, my husband uses it, and it works well. But not sure if that's the only cleanser you should use. The Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser would be the other option. So if you do not use another cleanser or exfoliant, I recommend getting both and alternate :) And yes you can use Niacinamide afterwards.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you for your great explaination♥️♥️♥️
Hello Melissa, can this be used with the ordinary serums?
yes, of course :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial last question hehe. I have little acnes on my cheek area which would you prefer as a cleanser, the ordinary or the inkey list? ☺️
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser! :) However, if you do not use a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser yet, I recommend looking into this too for your acne :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial does the ordinary have these products?
@@alexalibrando776 No, Differin, Panoxyl, CeraVe or The Inkey List :)
Does it has safety seal?
Yes, it had.
can this balm dissolve the oil under pores so that I get rid of closed comedones?
I recommend getting The Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser instead.
hi.. is this fungal acne safe?
do you have fungal acne? 🤔
