Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate makeup removal for your combination skin, as ethylhexyl palmitate and cetyl ethylhexanoate cleanse pores, while shea butter and coconut fruit extract provide emollient action but lack sufficient oil control for your oily shine.
  • The formulation provides general cleansing benefits that are supportive for your skin, though not specifically targeted for oily shine.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing botanical extracts.

How to apply

  • Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine to clear away excess oil.
  • Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser to effectively break down heavy makeup and dirt.
  • Gently wipe the makeup remover across your face using a soft cotton pad, avoiding harsh rubbing.
  • Use the makeup remover on completely dry skin to help dissolve surface oils and impurities best.
  • Avoid direct contact with the eyes while using this makeup remover.

People Say

★4.8Overall rating based on 30.0k+ reviews

Based 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 combination skin?

Heimish All Clean Balm works moderately well for combination skin because it clears pores and softens dry areas, but it lacks enough oil control for your oily shine. Combination skin needs products with soothing and nourishing ingredients, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and oil-balancing components that manage both oily and dry zones without irritation.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2017

Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for combination skin?

Ethylhexyl palmitate and cetyl ethylhexanoate help cleanse pores, while shea butter and coconut fruit extract provide softening benefits for your skin. To fit combination skin best, a makeup remover of this type needs soothing and nourishing ingredients that provide hydration and gentle cleansing while balancing oily and dry areas.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2017

What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for combination skin?

Butyrospermum parkii butter helps keep combination skin soft and smooth while supporting the skin barrier. This ingredient is generally well tolerated, though a product for this skin type also needs lightweight hydration to balance oilier zones without clogging pores.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2018

What does Coconut Fruit Extract do for combination skin?

Coconut fruit extract helps support skin barrier molecules and collagen to keep combination skin looking smooth and hydrated. It also helps calm redness and protects against irritation by reducing inflammatory markers.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2017

Where does it go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This makeup remover goes in the evening routine, used as the first step before your cleanser. It is safe for combination skin, though this skin type needs lighter textures and ingredients that help control oily shine.

Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this makeup remover in the evening before your cleanser and treatment, keeping your skin soft while washing away makeup. A product for this skin type needs lighter oils or oil-controlling ingredients to manage shiny areas better.

How often should I use it?

You can use this makeup remover in the evening as the first step of your routine to take off makeup. A product of this type for combination skin needs cleansing ingredients for pores alongside oil-controlling ingredients to manage oily shine.

Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on combination skin, as it has a safe formula with no harsh ingredients. However, because it contains rich oils and butters without enough oil control for your oily shine, this skin type needs lighter cleansers that balance oil while clearing makeup.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene, citral, and linalool).
