APRILSKIN Hydromelt Cleansing Balm – Carrotene IPMP 3.04 fl oz, Noncomedogenic & Grapefruit Oil

APRILSKIN Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm is a sorbet-textured double-cleansing balm that dissolves makeup and excess sebum while being gentle on oily, sensitive skin.

This cleansing balm from APRILSKIN combines a melt-on-contact texture with targeted ingredients to remove makeup, sunscreen, and surface oil without stripping moisture. Formulated with Carrotene IPMP and grapefruit peel oil, it aims to support clearer-looking skin by helping to manage excess oil and common clogged-pore concerns. The lightweight formula is 79% coconut-derived oil, noncomedogenic, free from artificial colors, and designed to soothe rather than irritate delicate skin.

How does this balm remove heavy makeup and SPF?

The Hydromelt balm transforms from a solid sorbet into a silky oil when massaged onto dry skin, lifting foundation, waterproof mascara, and sunscreen residues. It dissolves pigments and filters efficiently, making rinsing or following with a water-based cleanser easy. The texture minimizes tugging around the eye area for comfortable cleansing.

• Sorbet-to-oil formula that melts away cosmetics and sunscreen
• Gentle on eyelids—designed for minimal rubbing during removal
• Prepares skin for a second, water-based cleanse

Will this help with blackheads, breakouts, or oily skin?

Carrotene IPMP and O-Cymen-5-Ol are included to assist in balancing excess sebum and reducing factors that contribute to blackheads and blemishes. Regular use as the first step in a cleansing routine can reduce surface oil and help unclog pores, supporting a clearer complexion over time. Results depend on overall skincare routine and individual skin type.

• Ingredients aim to reduce oil production and sebum build-up
• Helps clear pore blockages that cause blackheads and whiteheads
• Suitable to pair with topical acne treatments or serums

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is noncomedogenic and free from artificial colorants, formulated to be mild on eyes and skin while maintaining effective cleansing. With 79% coconut-derived oil, it leaves a hydrated feel rather than overdrying the skin barrier, making it suitable for many people with reactive or oily skin. If you have severe sensitivity or specific allergies, patch testing is recommended before full-face use.

• Non-irritating texture designed for gentle use around eyes
• Free of artificial colors; noncomedogenic to avoid pore clogging
• Hydrating base prevents tightness often caused by strong cleansers

How do I use the APRILSKIN Hydromelt Cleansing Balm in my routine?

Use this balm as the first step of a double-cleanse. Scoop a small amount, warm it between dry fingertips, and massage over dry skin to dissolve makeup and oil; then emulsify with water and rinse or follow with a gentle water-based cleanser. For best results, use nightly or whenever you wear sunscreen or makeup.

• Scoop, massage onto dry skin, then emulsify with water and rinse
• Follow with a water-based cleanser for a full double-cleanse
• Use nightly or after heavy makeup/SPF days for clearer pores
