CeraVe Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover — Travel 1.3 oz, Waterproof Makeup Remover with Ceramides & Jojoba Oil

CeraVe Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover is a moisturizing balm that dissolves long-wear and waterproof makeup while helping support the skin’s natural barrier with ceramides and plant-based jojoba oil.

This travel-size, dermatologist-developed balm is formulated to remove stubborn makeup, dirt, and sunscreen without leaving a greasy film. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, it’s made for sensitive skin types and rinses clean so skin feels soft and comfortable after use. The compact 1.3 oz jar makes it easy to stash in a toiletry bag or use as a quick, effective nightly cleanser.

How quickly does it remove waterproof and long-wear makeup?

The balm is designed to break down waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and full-coverage products on contact. Massage a small amount onto dry skin to dissolve pigments and oils, then rinse or wipe away for clean skin.

• Dissolves waterproof formulas and heavy makeup
• Works with mascara, eyeliner, foundation, and SPF residues
• Emulsifies with water for easy rinsing or removal

Will this balm leave my skin oily or cause breakouts?

CeraVe’s formula is non-comedogenic and allergy-tested, so it’s developed to cleanse without clogging pores. The jojoba oil provides hydration while ceramides help replenish the skin’s barrier, leaving no heavy, greasy residue when used as directed.

• Non-comedogenic — formulated not to block pores
• Fragrance- and paraben-free to reduce irritation risk
• Rinses clean or can be removed with a soft cloth for minimal residue

What are the key ingredients and how do they support skin health?

The cleansing balm centers on three essential ceramides and plant-based jojoba oil. Ceramides help support and maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier, while jojoba oil helps retain moisture and leaves skin feeling supple after cleansing.

• Ceramides 1, 3, 6-II to help reinforce the skin barrier
• Plant-based jojoba oil for gentle hydration and smoothness
• Free from alcohol and soap to prevent stripping natural oils

How should I incorporate this balm into my skincare routine?

Use the balm as your first cleanse to remove makeup and surface grime before following with a water-based cleanser if desired. Apply on dry skin, massage to dissolve makeup, then emulsify with water and rinse, or wipe away with a soft cloth for a quick removal.

• Apply to dry face, massage to melt makeup, then add water to emulsify
• Rinse thoroughly or remove with a damp washcloth for travel convenience
• Follow with regular cleansing or toner as part of a double-cleanse routine

Who is this for: This 1.3 oz CeraVe Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover suits people who wear long-wear or waterproof makeup, travelers who want a compact cleanser, and individuals with sensitive or dry skin seeking a gentle, hydrating makeup remover. It’s useful for anyone wanting an effective first-step cleanser that melts away makeup while supporting skin comfort and barrier health.
