Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm

Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm turns the end of your day into one easy step. The sorbet-textured, PEG-free balm melts down long-wear makeup, SPF, dirt and excess oil while papaya enzymes gently smooth the surface — so you finish cleansing with a soft, even canvas instead of a tight, squeaky face.

What it actually does

• Takes off stubborn makeup and sunscreen. Massaged into dry skin, the balm breaks down makeup, dirt, oil and SPF in one go. In Glow Recipe's two-week consumer study of 32 people, every participant agreed it removed even their long-wear makeup.
• Smooths while it cleanses. Papaya enzymes gently resurface and soothe, targeting the look of dullness, uneven texture and pores.
• Doesn't strip. Papaya seed oil keeps skin hydrated, apricot kernel oil soothes and camellia seed oil adds moisture. In the same brand study, 100% agreed their skin didn't feel tight or stripped afterwards.
• Adds an antioxidant layer. Blueberry extract helps defend skin against environmental stressors.
• Gentle credentials. Ophthalmologist-tested, and the brand describes it as safe for sensitive skin, sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearers. Vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and the packaging is recyclable.

How to use

1. Start dry. Dry face, dry hands — that's what lets the balm grip makeup.
2. Massage in circles for up to a minute, spending extra time where makeup sits heaviest.
3. Add a splash of water. The balm turns milky — keep massaging for a few more seconds.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Questions

Do I need a second cleanser after it?

Not necessarily — it's designed to remove makeup, dirt, oil and SPF on its own. If you like to double cleanse, you can follow with your usual water-based cleanser.

Is it safe around the eyes?

Yes — it's ophthalmologist-tested, and Glow Recipe describes it as suitable for sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearers. As with any cleanser, avoid getting it directly into the eye itself.
