Melting Balm Cleanser

Byoma's Melting Balm Cleanser is the first-cleanse step — a soft, buttery balm that turns to oil the moment it touches skin and dissolves stubborn makeup, sunscreen and the day's build-up. Where most balms leave a slick film behind, this one is built on Byoma's Barrier Lipid Complex with niacinamide, so skin is left clean and silky instead of coated.

Removes	Makeup, SPF, daily impurities
Key actives	Barrier Lipid Complex · niacinamide · olive fruit · sea buckthorn · grapeseed oil
Afterfeel	Soothed, silky, no oily residue
Free from	Alcohol · animal ingredients · pore-clogging ingredients

What it actually does

• Breaks down what water can't. Long-wear makeup and sunscreen need an oil-phase cleanser, and that's the job this balm is doing before your regular wash.
• Nourishes with three plant oils. Olive fruit, sea buckthorn and grapeseed oils hydrate as they cleanse, and Byoma states this happens without clogging pores or leaving a greasy layer.
• Delivers barrier lipids in oil form. The Barrier Lipid Complex concentrates ceramide and skin-identical lipids, which the brand describes as its oil-based route to the same results as the Tri-Ceramide Complex.
• Adds niacinamide to a rinse-off step. Byoma credits it with an immediate lift in radiance and hydration.
• Brand-reported clinical results. Byoma says the formula is clinically proven to strengthen barrier function, improve texture and calm redness caused by dry skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 38%, boost radiance immediately, reduce skin sensitivity, and raise moisturisation after a single use. These are the brand's own clinical claims — individual results will vary.
• Pleasant to actually use. The melt from balm to oil is the part most people keep coming back for.

How to use

1. Scoop a small amount onto dry fingertips and apply to dry skin — water at this stage stops the balm working.
2. Massage for thirty to sixty seconds, working over eye makeup and anywhere SPF was applied heavily.
3. Add a little warm water and keep massaging until it loosens, then rinse away.
4. Follow with a water-based cleanser if you wore full makeup, then your serum and moisturiser.
5. Use it in the evening. Morning skin rarely needs an oil cleanse.

Questions

Do I need a second cleanser after it?

On a heavy makeup day, yes — the balm lifts everything and a water-based wash takes the residue off. On a bare-skin or SPF-only day, the balm alone is usually enough.

Will it leave my face oily?

Byoma specifically says it cleanses without an oily residue, and the finish described is silky and soothed rather than slick.

Is it safe around the eyes?

It's designed to melt away stubborn makeup, which includes eye products. Work slowly, keep it out of the eye itself, and rinse well.

Could it clog pores?

The brand lists it as non-comedogenic and dermatologist tested. That said, oil cleansers suit some congestion-prone skins better than others, so introduce it gradually.

How long does delivery take?
