Best Banila Co Products for Sensitive Skin
4 Banila Co picks that actually work on sensitive skin — ranked by editor rating, not by what the brand pushes hardest. Updated 2026.
Banila Co is essentially a one-hit wonder, and that hit is massive. Clean It Zero is the cleansing balm that taught a generation of beauty consumers that makeup removal doesn't have to be harsh. Their other products are competent but unremarkable — you're here for the balm, and the balm alone justifies the brand's existence. The sunscreen and toner lines are fine, but they lack the category-defining magic of their hero product.

8.5/10 · cleanserClean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original
The product that made cleansing balms mainstream outside of Korea. Clean It Zero melts from a solid sherbet into a smooth oil that dissolves waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and sebum without tugging or stripping. It emulsifies cleanly with water and rinses off without residue. The formula includes ceramides and panthenol for a touch of post-cleanse comfort, though you'll still want a second cleanser after. After nearly two decades, it remains the benchmark that other cleansing balms are measured against.

7/10 · tonerDear Hydration Skin Softening Toner
A perfectly serviceable hydrating toner that does what it promises — softens, hydrates, and preps skin for the next steps. The combination of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and panthenol is a safe, well-trodden formula that works for most skin types. It won't blow your mind, but it won't let you down either. The issue is that at $22, you're paying a slight premium for a formula that budget brands like COSRX deliver at a lower price point.
