UpCircle Cleansing Face Balm with Apricot 55ml - Natural Cleanser To Remove Makeup, Including Waterproof Mascara + Clear Blackheads - Sea Buckthorn, Oat + Rosemary Oil - Vegan + Cruelty-Free

Firstly, I don’t normally write reviews but I have to because after a good few weeks of using this I’m in love! My Daughter used some & really liked it, so I bought one for her too.I’m in my thirties, I find it brilliant for my combination sensitive skin and eyes, I have a couple of fine lines too.Value • Quality • ExperienceI love the smell of this cleanser balm, it’s not over powering for my sensitive skin and very sensitive eyes. NO eyes tearing up for me!The jar 🫙 is going to last me ages (months) as you don’t need much product, it goes a looooong way.The scent is luxurious; deep rich notes of natural oils and minerals (no artificial smell) to restore my tired skin.Every time I use this it feels like I’m being pampered, a facial every day.The colour 😍 is divine (apricot!) and the balm stays firm until you smooth it on your skin, then becomes easily pliable the warmer it gets - the consistency is something between an oil and serum, a balm!! When warm the consistency feels oily with a fine salt to gently exfoliate your skin.The perfect consistency for me. Removal is very simple too ⤵️My routine:-I use it both as a cleanser balm to remove makeup and to just simply cleanse my skin.🫧 💧 🫧 💧 🫧 💧 🫧 💧 🫧 💧 🫧 💧 🫧-To remove the cleansing balm, I personally use micellar water with pads or water with a cloth.Sometimes I also (as I don’t want to dry out my skin) occasionally use my favourite toner. I like to double cleanse, especially as a makeup wearer.I then use a Vit C serum & facial moisturiser.- 💄💋 Now My skin is flawless and beautifully exfoliated (without a mess!) before applying my makeup, my complexion is dewy, plump & youthful.Summary:I’ve tried so many products (over the years & wasted a lot of money!) only to find that my skin reacts badly with the product. Also, my sensitive eyes tear up, so previously tested products ended up in the bin!But this beautiful new discovery is a keeper 😍 It’s food for my face, leaving my skin dewy and youthful (even without makeup) my complexion has improved massively.I really love my UPCIRCLE cleansing balm, if I had to pick fault (I’m being picky here) UPCIRCLE please include a beauty scoop/scraper/spoon for hygiene.I’m using a multi pack scoop at the moment, I just prefer a scoop/scraper…Happy facials 😉 and a massive thanks to UPCIRCLE for this amazing cleansing balm, my skin salutes you 🤍

A warming soothing butter consistency cleanser, take a 5p sized portion and warm between your hands, then apply gently onto your face, smoothly massaging, best after a hot shower, when your pores are open, leave on skin, for 30 seconds, then remove with a warm water wet cloth, repeat as necessary. Leaves skin clean and fresh, but also soft and moisturised, it remove makeup and grime effortlessly. Mildly exfoliating. Ideal for dryer mature skin types. I found it fine on my sensitive skin, but if in doubt, always do a patch test first. Gorgeous naturally fragranced, coffee and apricots. NOT EDIBLE !

Clean, botanical natural aroma which i enjoyed, lovely texture and beautiful glass packaging. Not sure about the waxy residue left on the skin afterwards . Only need a small amount also which is good

Great value for money . This is a face balm that is designed to be used as a make up remover and as first steps in your facial routine .It comes in a frosted glass jar that is full to the brim , which is rare in cosmetics, and an aluminium screw top lid so easy to open .The balm has a lovely fragrance which smells slightly of honey to me but I assume this could be a mix of the apricots and other ingredients giving it this smell.Directions are to put a small amount into the palm of hands and massage into face in upward circular motions . This instantly works at picking up the make up etc from the surface of your face to then be wiped off using a warm damp face cloth . I’ve used a oil based cleansing milk before ( 5 times more expensive might I add!)and this does take a bit of getting used to as we’ve become so accustomed to soap based products.The sustainable credentials are brilliant along with the vegan , cruelty free points .

Waxy Texture and Citronella Scent Make This Cleanser a MissI’m not sure how this is marketed as a full-face cleanser—it’s incredibly waxy and almost impossible to remove without tugging at the skin. While it does a great job at breaking down eye makeup, the residue it leaves behind is stubborn and can feel uncomfortable to remove.The scent is also off-putting. It reminds me of citronella, which gives it a bug spray vibe—not exactly what I want lingering on my skin. Overall, it’s not a product I’d recommend, especially if you’re looking for something gentle and easy to rinse off

It’s nice, smells good, but is very hard - difficult to spread

Tried this product for the first time last night. Absolutely loved it. Left my skin moist and soft. Easy to remove with a warm cloth as advised. Tip don’t put too much. A little goes a long way. I then used the toner and this morning my skin felt so comfortable and supple. I have ditched my expensive products. I hope it continues to deliver as I am completely converted. I put the face cream on and what a lovely feeling. I will post another review in a few weeks to update. Genuine reviews.
