Pros

  • I actually use the elf cleansing balm lol but it works even though it’s meant for makeup removal (which i actually hate it for the makeup removal haha)
  • I personally use an oil cleanser which is great for removing texture. I use the ELF cleansing balm (even if I don’t use makeup) on only my oily spots (too harsh for my dry areas).
  • most recently oil based or an elf cleansing balm.
  • Elf cleansing balm: I know the controversy around elf but it's the only product of theirs I use and works well. Got into double cleansing a couple of months ago and my skin hasn't felt better! Scented but isnt strong (kinda like the smel...

Cons

  • PM Cleanse with ELF cleansing balm on nose and chin (oily sections, I use a micellar water for rest of face if I use makeup because elf balm is too harsh in my dry skin)
  • and i personally like the elf cleansing balm but it can be slightly stripping if I use it on my dry skin
