“Absolutely love the cleansing pads, I think that’s such a unique way to get all the makeup and dirt off my face from the day. I wear waterproof mascara because my eyelids are oily (lol) and this balm takes it off no problem. I’ve come to really enjoy using this in the evenings. My favorite thing about this cleanser is how soft my skin feels afterward, when followed by a moisturizer! Packaging is super cute :)”

Do I use this morning and night?
Cleansing at night is a non-negotiable; it's important to wash impurities from the day. Since the Cleansing Balm offers a deep clean, cleansing in the morning is optional - you can simply splash water or use a gentle toner for a quick refresh.
Is there any fragrance?
There are no added fragrance or essential oils which are common allergens. The balm has a distinct scent from the natural botanical ingredients.
Is this a rinse-off cleanser?
No; unlike most cleansing balms that are rinse-offs, our cleanser contains no foaming agents (which are common barrier disruptors). To remove, simply use a wet cotton pad or wash cloth to wipe off impurities. We offer large premium organic cotton pads that are lint-free and hypoallergenic.
Can it remove waterproof eye makeup?
Yes. It effortlessly removes waterproof eye makeup without tugging or blurring. It's OptiSafe Tested to be gentle for use around the eyes.

“It did a great job taking my makeup off, paired with the wet cotton pads. There was no issue getting off my mascara or eyebrow gel! It was easy to apply to my face after warming it between my fingers. The scent was very natural, I personally liked that it was not a fake scent! Made the product seem real and clean rather than artificial. When I removed the balm with the wet cotton pads, my face felt so soft! I did have to use a foam cleanser after to adequately remove all of the product. I decided one night to not wash my face again after and I woke up with raccoon eyes and overly oily skin.”

“I absolutely love how this balm feels and smells! It has a slightly sticky or thicker liquid texture and I enjoyed how it pumps out of the packaging. I did tend to like to use more than 1 pump at a time, and it almost feels and smells like honey! An enjoyable experience that feels like you’re at a spa! It cleans well too!”
— Brittani
“The first thing I want to mention is the mess free pump that it comes with, I love that and one pump is the perfect amount. The scent was a natural scent nothing fruity or floral. I have used other cleansing balms but this one just glided right on as if I was rubbing honey or butter on my face, it worked amazing as each time I used the product I had little white impurities on my fingers that it had removed from my skin. It left my skin feeling hydrated which is awesome for me because I can't find much that does these days. And clean, my face felt so refreshed and clean after using the cleansing balm.”

“It's easy to use and I like the packaging a lot. It helps clean my skin from SPF and CC cream and feels non-stripping to the skin!”

PRO Tips
-
When removing the balm, use a cotton pad or wash cloth dampened with warm/hot water to help open pores for a more invigorating cleanse. Apply it as an eye compress to help unclog oil glands.
-
Squeeze out excess water from the cotton pad or wash cloth; this allows the residue to adhere better to the pad as you buff away impurities. Use both sides of the pad until all residue is removed.
-
As an optional step, use a gentle toner to remove any trace residue.
So here’s what my skin used to be like, before the cleansing balm - I used to have really awful texture, my skin literally would feel like sand paper when I would touch it. I remember I used to visit a different dermatologist every single week, all the best ones. They would always give me actives and retinol and it would make the situation much worse. I met the founder of UrbanTonix serendipitously at an industry event, and she started telling me all about barrier health, it felt like someone was finally able to tell me something that made perfect sense. She introduced me to the cleansing balm, and I asked her if I could try it. She was kind enough to send me a sample right away, and, to my surprise, just one month after using the cleansing balm, the texture completely went away. As you can see in the after picture, the result is just remarkable. This cleansing balm is not just a product for me, it is truly something that changed my life. The texture used to bother me SO much, and I am completely hooked onto the balm now, I cannot go a day without it!
Post-PicoSure, my skin barrier severely compromised. I over-exfoliated, panic-tried everything, and just made it worse.
At first I thought it was not going to work but Urban Tonix cleansing balm literally saved my skin. First few uses in, I could feel the product working as a shield- like a protective calm over my skin.
Months later? My skin is healed and glowing. I’m so happy with the results. Thank you!
I've been using the face cleansing balm from Urban Tonix for a few years now, and it's been great.
I use the cleanser to deeply massage my face, which feels really therapeutic and provides a deep clean.
It removes all the makeup and dirt without drying out my skin and leaves it feeling refreshed.
When I apply my moisturizer and other skincare products afterward, I feel like they absorb evenly and much better than when I use other cleaners. My skin is naturally very dry, but this product primes it so well that I actually end up using less moisturizer.
When I wake up the next day, my skin still feels hydrated and clean. I have noticed that it has helped even out my skin tone over time.
Highly recommend!
I’ve been using the URBANTONIX Cleansing Balm for the past few days, and I genuinely enjoyed the experience.
What stood out to me most was how gentle it felt on my skin while still removing heavy makeup really easily. My skin felt clean, soft, and hydrated after each use without feeling stripped or tight.
I’m genuinely impressed with this balm—it has been such an amazing discovery for me! It gently cleanses the skin, provides deep hydration, and leaves my complexion looking fresh, healthy, and naturally radiant. After using it, my skin feels smooth and perfectly prepped, making my skincare and makeup apply so much better. It has quickly become one of my favorite essentials in my routine!
