Learn how to use the melting cleansing balm for a thorough double cleanse, including the steps to refill it and keep your routine low-waste.

Quick answer

Use the melting cleansing balm on dry skin, massage it in to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add water to emulsify before rinsing. When the balm runs out, open the case and drop in a new refill instead of buying a whole new jar.

Why the dry-skin start matters

The balm’s texture changes with water: it starts as a rich balm, turns into an oil to lift makeup and sunscreen, then becomes a milk when you add water. If you wet your face first, that oil phase is cut short and the balm can feel slippery without cleaning as thoroughly. Keep your hands and face dry until the massage is done, then add water deliberately to emulsify.

When to choose a balm over a gel or foam

A melting balm suits dry or tight-feeling skin because it lifts makeup without the stripped feeling some foaming cleansers leave. If your skin is very oily or you prefer a lightweight gel texture, a balm may feel too rich. The refillable format also matters if you want to reduce packaging, but you still need to clean the case between refills to keep it hygienic.

Step-by-step: using and refilling the balm

Start with dry hands and a dry face: Scoop a small amount of balm with clean, dry fingers and massage it over your face and eyes. Common mistake: wetting your face first, which stops the balm from turning into oil properly. Keep water out of the first phase.
Massage to dissolve makeup: Work the balm in circular motions, including over waterproof mascara and sunscreen. Checkpoint: give it 30–60 seconds so the oil phase can break down everything before you add water. Don’t rush the oil phase.
Add water to emulsify: Wet your fingertips and continue massaging; the balm will turn into a milk. Common mistake: splashing lots of water too soon, which dilutes the balm before it has lifted makeup. Add water gradually, not all at once.
Rinse thoroughly: Rinse with lukewarm water until the milk is gone. Checkpoint: if your skin feels filmy, rinse again or follow with a gentle cleanser if your routine requires it. Lukewarm water prevents dryness.
Refill the case: When the balm is finished, open the refillable case, remove the empty insert, and place a new refill inside according to the packaging. Common mistake: forcing the refill or leaving old product residue in the case. Clean and dry the case before inserting a refill.
