Korean BANILA CO was founded in 2005 and has become a leading K-Beauty brand since the start. BANILA CO offers a wide selection of cosmetic products, but is most famed for their cleansers, and not the least the best-selling cult classic Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm, which has collected over 40 prizes and awards. The product was the first of its kind to be launched and with the ability to efficiently remove the most stubborn makeup residue without over-drying skin, Clean It Zero has a growing fandom globally. Today, a Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm is sold every three seconds worldwide and the cleanser, available in different versions catering to different skin types, has been a market leader for almost 15 years.
It makes it incredibly easy to remove makeup, as I find that my skin doesn't get as irritated or tight as it can when I do a double cleanse with a water-based cleanser. I don't think it removes makeup around the eyes particularly well, but that could also be because I'm a bit more cautious around that area.
If you have acne-prone and combination skin like me, I recommend using this first, then doing a water-based cleanser.
Removes all makeup and sunscreen without the skin feeling tight afterwards. It both smells good and feels good on the skin!
The only downside is that the plastic lid inside starts to get stuck a bit after a while - a little hard to grab the small «flap». On the 100 ml version, this is not a problem!
A bit pricey, but all in all worth the money!
