This has always been my favorite 1st cleanser. This removes everything even waterproof mascara. Those micellar water cleansers don't work well when it comes to waterproof makeup but Heimish cleansing balm beats them all. My only concern (hence minus 1 star) is that when it gets in your eyes, it's kind of hard to rinse it off so you get blurry, foggy eyes for a few seconds. This doesn't happen with oil-based cleansers, though. But I still love Heimish especially cos it's cheap. Wish it'd come in bigger containers so a single purchase would last longer.
