I have used banila, hemish and beauty of joseon cleansing balms and enjoyed this one the most. I like the fresh, citrus-y scent as well. It works just as well as the other brands I have tried but feels most similar to heimish cleansing balms. I don't wear full coverage makeup so I cannot advise if this balm works well in that case but it worked on removing my waterproof mascara from heroine make. Would recommend you try this if it is on sale.
