Takes off everything on my face effortlessly EXCEPT water proof mascara. It can still remove the mascara but it just takes longer to work so I normally use an waterproof eye makeup remover first, then the cleansing balm, followed by a gentle foaming cleanser just to make sure oils are all removed. The cleansing balm is super smooth, no scent, just does the job, 100% recommend. I have used up the 120ml tub and am now onto my travel size 50ml tub, size comparison as seen in photo.
