BANILA CO Clean it Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm 180ml — Sherbet-to-Oil Makeup Remover with AHA-PHA & Tea Tree for Oily, Acn

This lightweight, sherbet-style balm transforms into an oil on contact to lift away long-wear cosmetics, sunscreen, and surface impurities without stripping skin. Formulated with a multi-acid blend (AHA, PHA, BHA, LHA) plus tea tree and jojoba derivatives, it targets clogged pores and dull surface cells while keeping moisture balance intact. The product comes in a 180ml jar and includes a spatula for hygienic application.

How does this balm remove waterproof makeup without leaving a greasy residue?

The balm melts into a silky oil that breaks down long-wear pigments and sunscreen quickly. When you add water and massage, it emulsifies into a milky texture that rinses clean, carrying dissolved makeup and impurities away.

• Sherbet-to-oil conversion dissolves heavy cosmetics fast
• Emulsifies with water for easy rinse-off and no heavy film
• Includes spatula to prevent contamination and overuse

Will it help with oily or acne-prone skin without causing irritation?

Formulated for oily and acne-prone skin, the balm balances oil control ingredients with gentle exfoliants to clear pore congestion without harsh stripping. Tea tree extract and jojoba help regulate sebum while AHAs/PHAs support mild surface exfoliation to reduce buildup.

• Tea tree provides clarifying support to reduce excess oil
• AHA/PHA/BHA/LHA blend encourages gentle cell turnover
• Dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and vegan-certified formulation

How should I use the cleansing balm to get the best results?

Use the included spatula to scoop a small amount and massage the balm onto dry skin in circular motions to dissolve makeup and impurities. Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture, continue massaging, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with a water-based cleanser if you double-cleanse.

• Apply on dry face; massage for 30–60 seconds to break down makeup
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse completely
• Follow with a gentle foaming or gel cleanser for double cleansing

What ingredients make this suitable for sensitive and combination routines?

The formula mixes exfoliating acids with soothing elements and lightweight emollients to balance efficacy and comfort. It avoids heavy occlusives that can worsen breakouts while including humectant-friendly components to preserve skin hydration after cleansing.

• Blend of AHA, PHA, BHA, LHA for controlled exfoliation
• Jojoba derivatives help replenish lipids without clogging pores
• Vegan, fragrance-conscious base reduces potential irritation

Who is this for: BANILA CO Clean it Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm is best suited to people with oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin who wear long-wear or waterproof makeup and want a thorough yet gentle first step in a double-cleansing routine. It’s also a good pick for those seeking a vegan, dermatologist-tested option that combines makeup removal with light exfoliation and pore-clearing benefits. If your skin is extremely dry or reactive, consider patch-testing first or using this product less frequently as part of a tailored routine.
