If you wear makeup or sunscreen, a good balm cleanser is the easiest way to melt it all away without scrubbing or stripping your skin. The Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm is a soft, sherbet-like balm that dissolves makeup, excess oil, and daily grime while leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable. You massage it onto dry skin, add water to rinse, and your skin feels clean, never tight.
What makes this cleansing balm such a beloved first step is its nourishing, rice-forward formula. It melts into a silky oil using gentle emollients, then rinses clean thanks to a mild emulsifier, so there is no greasy film left behind. Sea buckthorn oil and rice bran oil nourish, while the brand's radiance complex of rice water and fermented grains helps skin look healthy and hydrated. It is fragrance-free and free of essential oils, which makes it a thoughtful pick for sensitive skin and eyes.
This balm suits all skin types and is an especially nice fit for anyone who wears makeup or SPF and wants a gentle, effective first cleanse. Follow it with a water-based cleanser for a full double cleanse. One thing to note: because it is oil-based and contains some richer oils and a PEG emulsifier, very acne-prone or fungal-acne-prone skin may prefer a lighter cleanser.
