RADIANCE BEGINS WITH THE PERFECT CLEANSE
If you’re searching for a luxurious cleanser that truly transforms your skincare routine, the EVE LOM The Original Balm Cleanser has been a beloved choice for decades — and with good reason. Awarded 2024 Best Makeup Remover by Women’s Health Magazine Skincare Awards, this iconic balm does far more than remove makeup.
Designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, tone and remove impurities in one simple step, it combines effectiveness with comfort — even for sensitive skin types. Plus, each order includes a complimentary muslin cloth to complete the signature cleansing ritual.
What Makes It Special?
Unlike ordinary face cleansers, this balm has a rich, melting texture that turns into an oil on contact with the skin. Its signature blend of clove, eucalyptus and chamomile works to dissolve even waterproof makeup while calming and soothing the complexion.
The complimentary muslin cloth is essential to the experience — as warm water softens the balm, the cloth gently exfoliates dead skin cells and stimulates circulation, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and bright.
Clinically proven to hydrate skin for up to 12 hours, this balm works both as a makeup remover and as a nurturing skin treatment.
