Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm Review

I received this product in my first beauty box that I purchased and was so excited to try it.

This is a really popular brand and the packaging was nice. It comes in a around pottle with the screw lid.

The Scent reminds me of your typical organic scent which I find pleasent. When you open it up it is a yellowish semi hard balm but as soon as you put some on your fingertips and rub onto your face it instantly melts.

Gently rub and circular motions all over your face and then wash off with warm water. I would say this product removes 99.9% of your makeup and it even removed my waterproof mascara.

This product is out of my price range but because it works amazingly well I would highly recommend it and if it was on special I would definitely purchase it again.

This is a really thick oily balm with a texture quite similar to Vaseline. The texture was slightly off putting to begin with but it really melts of all your make up easily especially stubborn lip stains and mascara! It’s saved me many times when I’ve had a full face of make up on. If you don’t use warm/hot water and a flannel (it comes with a soft cloth) it can leave an oily residue on your face but this is avoidable if you take it off properly. I rub it all over my eyes to remove mascara and it has never irritated them, it’s very gentle and great for sensitive skin. I have incredibly dry skin and this is amazing for keeping it hydrated and not stripping your skin. If you have dry skin I would highly reccomend it. The product has a plain natural scent that isn’t really too obvious. You only really need a little bit- about a finger nail size so the one pottle has lasted me ages.

I was super excited to try this Cleansing Balm as I have heard rave reviews.

Packaging: Comes in a nice round glass jar, great on the environment as it is recyclable (well done Trilogy). Also comes with a little cotton cloth which is used to apply the balm. Great that it is washable so it can be used again.

Formula: The formula kind of feels like a mix between vaseline and coconut oil. It has a very greasy feel to it and not sure if I'm keen.

Scent or Fragrance: It didn't have a scent or a fragrance, it just smelt 'natural' I guess you could say.

Is it user friendly? Ummm I don't think it is because I found it a wee hard to get the cloth into the jar to get the product out. Just found it messy. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? lol

Does it do what it states? I think it did a really good job of removing makeup. I had to go in a couple of times to remove mascara and eyeliner but it did seem to do a really good job.

Would I purchase again? Probably not just because I found it irritated my eyes a bit as it felt greasy and oily. And for this reason I gave it 4 stars instead of the full 5.

I wasn't sure what to think about these products but I bought this the day it came out as I'd been wishing for Trilogy to create a makeup removal product for a long time.

I'm pretty lax when it comes to removing makeup - a makeup removal cloth in the shower and a double cleanse with my Trilogy cleanser has me set. I'm not sure how I felt about this - perhaps because it took more time than I was used to for my routine, but I'm sure it was better than rubbing with a flannel.

I would only use this if you're going to cleanse with a proper cleanser afterwards as it leaves a slightly uncomfortable film on your face. I think for me I would only use a dedicated makeup remover when I want to take my makeup off and can't be bothered cleansing (after a late night!) so I'm not sure I would repurchase. I do however have the Make Up Break Up balm from Goodness (their sister brand) so I'm keen to see how they differ.

I cannot lie, I actually didn't think much of this product until I had to remove heavy makeup after midnight. Since then, this is a staple product in my skincare collection!

I had used this just to remove everyday makeup and it definitely did the job - it just didn't stand out from any other cleanser for me. That is until I was a bridesmaid and was wearing individual false lashes. After midnight trying to remove those little devils was a nightmare, until I remembered I had for some strange reason packed this gem! Rubbing this all over my eye makeup saw all of the false lashes gently fall off without irritating my real lashes or eyes in anyway. I couldn't believe it!

This product does have a weird oily feeling which is why I initially wasn't a huge fan. That is until I saw how gently oily feeling melted away even the heaviest of makeup! And in all fairness, it actually helps to keep my skin feeling hydrated which is often the issue I have with cleansers. Rinsing a few times or even using a hot face cloth seemed to remove most of this oiliness if it annoyed me. Most importantly, it does not irritate my sensitive skin!

This product doesn't have a strong scent and I love the simplicity of the packaging. It is the perfect size to still be able to throw into an overnight back when travelling. But would I buy this again? If it was on sale definitely! But seeing as there are a few makeup balms coming out for cheaper I would probably try them first to see if they do the same job.

This product is so cool. I have recommended this to a couple of my girlfriends. It is awesome at removing make up without drying out your face. It does exactly what is says it will do. I love the flannel cloth that comes with it and it will even remove waterproof mascara. You will look like a hot mess but man this is an awesome product. Very simple but very effective.

Works just as its described and having the little face cloth that comes with it is great! with most make up removers i have to repeat the process but with the trilogy cleansing balm i don't have to.

down side for me personally is even with a good rinse , removal and cleanse it still leaves a oily residue which i do not like.

Would recommend for someone with dry / sensitive skin not like myself as i have quite oily to combination skin.

I was so excited to be given this product as I'm a massive fan of cleansing oils - so was very excited to try a cleansing balm.

I have sensitive, combination skin and lately I've been on a big push to pan products. As a result, I ended up using a couple of products that were not very good for my skin and I ended up with sore, sensitised, blemished skin. I realised I was being silly - that it's better to just give away products that don't suit my skin. So I put aside those products and started using this cleansing balm twice a day.

Initially I was worried that the heavy balm would make my skin break out and wouldn't clean, but instead this was a gentle, nourishing way to clean my face. It didn't happen immediately, but after a couple of weeks of washing my face with this, my skin was no longer dry, sensitive and blemished and I can finally leave the house without BB cream to hide my awful skin!

Using this product is quick and easy, requiring you to massage 1/4 tsp into your face, then remove with a warm washcloth. I find it particularly good for cooler weather, as you're not splashing water around the place. It would also be a great option for travel, as you'll never have to worry about it spilling in your travel bag!

Using a face wash that doesn't strip the natural oils is really important for dry, sensitive or mature skin, and this balm is a really good option.

Would I buy it again? Without sounding ungracious after it fixed my face, ultimately I prefer pump-top cleansing oils, finding them a little faster and easier to use, with all the same advantages. For that reason I probably won't repurchase, unless I'm specifically looking for a good travel product.
