| Verdict | The budget alternative to Banila Co's Clean It Zero, and honestly? It holds its own. Heimish's All Clean Balm melts makeup and sunscreen efficiently, emulsifies with water, and rinses without leaving a greasy film. The addition of centella and panthenol gives it a slight soothing edge. The herb-citrus scent from the essential oils is pleasant but worth noting if you're fragrance-sensitive. At $16, this is one of the best value cleansing balms in K-beauty. | Widely considered the best cleansing balm in K-beauty at any price. The olive plus sea buckthorn plus squalane base melts makeup and sunscreen effortlessly, and the orange oil scent is subtle rather than artificial. Leaves skin clean, nourished, and never stripped. Expensive, but a single jar lasts months and the experience is genuinely luxurious. |
