Remedy Science Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm — 1.5 oz Twist-Up Pre-Cleansing Balm, Fragrance-Free with Ceramides & Safflower Lipids

Remedy Science Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm is a fragrance-free, lipid-rich pre-cleanser that melts away makeup and sunscreen while supporting your skin barrier.

This compact twist-up balm is designed by dermatologist Dr. Shah to remove stubborn cosmetics, waterproof SPF, and daily grime without leaving a waxy film or stripping skin. The formula blends skin-identical ceramides, safflower-derived lipids rich in linoleic acid, and an advanced emulsifier system to dissolve oil-based residues and rinse cleanly with water. Packaged to minimize contamination and provide consistent dosing, it’s suited for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin that needs efficient dissolving power plus hydration.

How does this cleansing balm remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?

The balm uses lipid-soluble ingredients that break down oil-based products and pigments, turning them into a milky emulsion when combined with water so they rinse away easily. Because the formula emulsifies fully, it leaves no greasy residue and prepares skin for follow-up cleansers or treatments.

• Triple emulsifier system ensures complete conversion to a rinseable milk.
• Lipid-rich base dissolves waterproof mascara, longwear lipstick, and SPFs.
• No jar-dipping reduces contamination risk compared with traditional balms.

Will this balm dry out or strip sensitive skin?

No—this product is formulated to protect and replenish the skin barrier while cleansing. Ceramides and safflower lipids help retain moisture and restore lipid balance so skin feels soft, not tight, after use.

• Contains skin-identical ceramides to support barrier integrity.
• Safflower lipids supply linoleic acid for skin suppleness.
• Fragrance-free and ophthalmologist-tested to reduce irritation risk.

How is the packaging hygienic and easy to use?

The balm comes in a twist-up dispenser with a shaving component that delivers a precise, solid dose each time, eliminating the need to scoop product with fingers. This system keeps the remaining balm sealed from air and hands, extending freshness and improving sanitary use.

• Twist-up format dispenses consistent amounts for one-step application.
• No dipping reduces bacterial contamination compared with jars.
• Compact 1.5 fl oz size fits travel bags and bathroom cabinets.

How should I use this product in my routine?

Swipe or shave a small amount onto dry skin, gently massage to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add water to emulsify and rinse. Follow with a water-based cleanser if double-cleansing, or proceed to toners and serums as needed.

• Apply to dry face; massage until residues lift.
• Add water to emulsify; rinse thoroughly.
• Use morning or night as a first-step pre-cleanse for heavy makeup or SPF days.

Who is this for: Remedy Science Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm suits people who wear long-wear makeup or chemical/mineral sunscreens, anyone with sensitivity to fragrance, and those wanting a gentle lipid-supporting pre-cleanse. It's especially helpful for users aiming to preserve skin moisture while ensuring thorough removal of oil-based products—appropriate for dry, normal, combination, and barrier-compromised skin types who prefer dermatologist-formulated, ophthalmologist-tested, fragrance-free options.
