Double cleansing, perfected for a barrier that's protected

DETAILS

A healthy skin barrier is naturally radiant, smooth, and plump, while a compromised barrier, depleted of hydration and lipids, looks rough, flaky, and dull. While many cleansers can further strip and weaken a compromised barrier, this velvety balm actually helps skin replenish its own barrier-strengthening lipids and ceramides with continued use, making your first skincare step a step toward hydrated, healthier-looking skin

Which skin type is it good for?
  • Balanced • Oily • Combination • Dry • Sensitive

Frequently Asked Questions

This cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities while supporting the skin barrier. It combines deep cleansing with replenishing lipids, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and comfortable - never tight or stripped.

Unlike many cleansing balms that require a second cleanse, this formula is designed as a one-step double cleanse. It effectively removes over 99% of SPF and long-wear makeup while leaving a breathable veil of hydration behind.

As estrogen levels decline, skin naturally produces less oil and can lose moisture more easily. Many cleansers can further strip the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling tight, dry and uncomfortable after washing.

Yes. Hormonal ageing can contribute to dryness, sensitivity and a weakened skin barrier. Lipid-Enriched Double Cleansing Balm helps cleanse while replenishing barrier-supporting lipids for softer, more comfortable-looking skin.

Yes. The balm is suitable for dry, sensitive and mature skin types and is designed to cleanse without leaving skin feeling stripped or uncomfortable.

Lipids help maintain the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss. As skin ages, natural lipid levels can decline, making replenishment increasingly important for maintaining healthy, hydrated and resilient skin.

Lipid-enriched refers to the inclusion of skin-identical lipids that help replenish what is often lost during cleansing. These lipids support the skin barrier, helping skin feel stronger, smoother, and more hydrated over time.

Hormonal changes can weaken the skin barrier, making skin more prone to dryness, irritation and moisture loss. Supporting the barrier helps skin retain hydration and remain more resilient.

Fermented Camellia Oil: Dissolves makeup, SPF, and excess oil effectively while rinsing clean, Glycolipids: Provide a gentle but thorough cleanse without stripping, Barrier-building lipids: Help replenish ceramides and lock in hydration.

No. The balm melts into an oil and then emulsifies into a lightweight milk when water is added, rinsing clean while leaving skin balanced and hydrated - not greasy.

The formula is designed to cleanse thoroughly and rinse clean, but as with any oil-based cleanser, individual responses can vary. Ensuring proper emulsification and rinsing is key to preventing residue buildup.

It features a twist-up grinder dispenser, delivering the perfect amount of product without mess or contamination. This also makes it more hygienic and travel-friendly than traditional jar packaging.

Reviews

Perfect

"As someone with acne-prone skin, I am always looking for gentle products to meet my needs. This balm was the perfect mixture of cleansing and nourishing to protect my skin as it tried to heal, and cleanse my skin to prevent new breakouts. I notices a more even texture, and fewer new breakouts after starting this product. Now I am on my second jar."

— Anne G. (5/5)

Recommend

"I’ve been using the Lipid-Enriched Double Cleansing Balm for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well it melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities. The texture starts off as a rich, buttery balm but quickly transforms into a silky oil once massaged into the skin, making the cleansing process feel smooth and luxurious."

— Ta H. (5/5)

double cleanse face wash

"It made my face so dry and my eyes burned. You advertise it takes off makeup and safe for eyes but the container says do not use on eyes. There’s a contradiction. And lastly there wasn’t a lot of product. Ran out very quickly."

— Andrea D. (2/5)

Cleansing balm

"Easy to use and gets makeup off really well."

— Amy S. (5/5)

Wow, love this cleanser!

"What’s not to love about this cleansing balm? The packaging is innovative and very effective to use - a twist to the bottom of the container delivers just enough product for use. The product itself feels luxurious and hydrating in the hand, and once applied to the face just melts off makeup, sunblock and daily grime. After two weeks of use, my skin feels great - clean, hydrated, and as an unexpected bonus has reduced my rosacea redness as well! Before and after shots include below for reference, two weeks apart."

— Pats (5/5)

ALMOST 5 stars!

"This produce was fantastic at cleansing my skin. I loved using it at the end of the day to remove my makeup and daily sunscreen. LOVE the way it dispenses - preventing the need to scrape into a pot with dirty hands! The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars was the size! I received the container 2/25/2026. It lasted less than a month worth once a day use. Hoping there is a larger size option in the works…? Like 4-6+ oz. The price is worth the investment."

— Cheri G. (4/5)

Amazing if you can get past the smell

"Amazing cleanser for removing makeup and SPF while keeping your skin soft, not stripped. Only taking off a star for the weird smell. I can’t even describe it but it makes my stomach turn. But the product works so well with my skin, I try not to breathe while using it. 😅"

— Sarah B. (4/5)

LOVE this cleanser!!

"Wow! This cleansing balm melts away my makeup and is especially gentle removing my eye makeup!! My old remover was causing dry areas on my eyelids. No more dry areas and my skin is happy and refreshed!! ❤️"

— Michelle H. (5/5)

Really love this product

"Feels luxurious when applied to the face and leaves skin feeling fresh, hydrated and clean. I would repurchase as it replaces the 2 step cleaning routine and dissolves makeup and sunscreen. Would be perfect for travel. The only negative would be that some mascara needed some miscellar to budge. Slight scent is nice too."

— Brooke E. (5/5)

One cleanse needed

"Murad has created a beautiful product. The twist up grinder releases the perfect amount you are after. The formula feels very gentle and calming on the skin. In terms of removing makeup and sunscreen; definitely removed it all each time with one application. It has a wonderful slip which glides so smoothly across your face. I appreciate that it did not leave my face feeling stripped but it felt hydrated and ready to pop on any skin care after. I love that it had strengthening lipids and ceramides; especially as someone with sensitive skin, nourishing ingredients are always welcomed."
