Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin with sensitivity, as Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate effectively cleanse without harshness, while Shea Butter provides emollient action. The inclusion of Lavender Oil offers some soothing effects, which can be supportive for your redness and irritation.
- The formula provides general skincare benefits and excellent makeup removal, though it lacks specific ingredients for enhanced hydration or barrier support tailored to your concerns.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine. Start 3x/week before building up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. Follow with your usual moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
- Gently press a small amount of the makeup remover onto your face using a soft cotton pad. Avoid any harsh rubbing to protect your sensitive skin.
- Apply the makeup remover on dry skin to ensure better tolerance for sensitive areas. This helps reduce any potential irritation or redness.
- Do a patch test before your first use and avoid the direct eye area to ensure safe application.
People Say
★4.8Overall rating based on 30.0k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this first cleanser is highly recommended by users, particularly those with dry and sensitive skin, for effectively removing stubborn makeup without compromising the skin's moisture. The formula is frequently praised for leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated. However, some users note that the essential oil content can be a concern for those with fragrance sensitivities or acne-prone skin, and a moderate number of users report temporary blurry vision if the product enters the eyes.

Questions and answers
How well does Heimish All Clean Balm work for sensitive skin?
Heimish All Clean Balm offers moderate suitability for sensitive skin, effectively melting away makeup without harshness while providing soothing benefits from lavender oil. However, this skin type needs products containing deep hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and protective barrier support to truly thrive.
Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for sensitive skin?
Shea butter and lavender oil help make this cleanser a decent fit for sensitive skin by softening the skin and calming redness and irritation. Makeup removers for sensitive skin need deep hydrating ingredients like multiple types of hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils to maintain moisture balance.
What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for sensitive skin?
Butyrospermum parkii butter helps protect sensitive and easily irritated skin by calming redness and keeping it soft. It supports the outer moisture barrier so skin stays smooth and comfortable, and it is generally well-tolerated without causing discomfort.
What does Coconut Fruit Extract do for sensitive skin?
Coconut fruit extract helps calm sensitive skin by reducing redness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier. It also supports hydration and helps protect against everyday environmental stress.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your cleanser, or as a weekly step. It effectively melts away makeup while shea butter and lavender oil help calm and soften the skin.
Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before your cleanser, but sensitive skin needs a product with extra barrier support and hydration when using retinol.
How often should I use it?
You can use this makeup remover in the evening as part of your routine. It cleans gently and feels safe on your skin, but a product for sensitive skin also needs extra hydrating ingredients and barrier support.
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
Heimish All Clean Balm is unlikely to cause breakouts or clogging for sensitive skin, as its ingredients gently cleanse without heavy blockage. However, it lacks specific barrier-supporting ingredients that this skin type needs to stay fully balanced.
Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene, citral, and linalool).
