If removing your makeup means going over your eyes again and again with a cotton pad, washing your face multiple times, or still wondering whether your sunscreen actually came off, your first cleanse should be doing more of the work for you.
Makeup and many long-wear or water-resistant sunscreens are designed to stay on your skin. Butter But Better uses an oil-rich balm to dissolve that stubborn layer first. Massage it onto dry skin and it melts through foundation, eye makeup, sunscreen, sebum and other oil-soluble buildup. Add water and the emulsifiers turn everything into a milky emulsion that rinses away.
That means less rubbing, less tugging around the eyes and a much easier first cleanse.
Will a cleansing balm clog my pores if I have acne-prone skin?
Oil does not automatically mean pore-clogging.
What matters is which oils are used and how the formula is built.
Butter But Better isn't built around ingredients like coconut oil. Its oils were selected deliberately for an acne-prone cleansing formula, then combined with an emulsifier system designed to rinse the balm away rather than leave a heavy oily coating behind. The current formula uses Castor, Sweet Almond and Grapeseed Oils alongside other emollients and emulsifiers.
No skincare product will suit absolutely everyone, but having oily or acne-prone skin is not a reason by itself to avoid a cleansing balm.
The exception is fungal acne: this oil-rich formula is not fungal-acne safe. If Malassezia compatibility is important to you, choose Comfort Cleanse Micellar Water instead.
Balm or micellar water?
Choose Butter But Better when you wear eye makeup, heavier makeup or stubborn/water-resistant sunscreen, or when you want to remove product by massaging rather than repeatedly wiping your skin.
Choose Comfort Cleanse Micellar Water when you want a lighter, quicker first cleanse and don't mind using a cotton pad.
For eye makeup specifically, Butter But Better would be our pick — particularly if micellar water tends to sting your eyes.
Do I have to double cleanse after it?
Not because everybody has to double cleanse.
But if you've used the balm to remove a full face of makeup, eye makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, following with your regular water-based cleanser is a sensible way to finish the cleanse.
The goal isn't to collect cleansing steps. It's simply to get everything off without scrubbing or over-cleansing your skin.
Using clean, completely dry hands, scoop out a small amount of balm with the back of your fingernail rather than dipping your fingertips into the jar.
Massage onto a dry face until makeup and sunscreen have dissolved. Gently massage over closed eyes to loosen eye makeup — there should be no need for aggressive rubbing.
Add a little water and continue massaging until the balm turns into a milky emulsion, then rinse thoroughly.
If you're removing a full face of makeup or heavy/water-resistant sunscreen, follow with a water-based cleanser such as Gentle Foaming Gel Face Wash or Hydrating Gentle Daily Cleanser.
Important: Keep water out of the jar. Always scoop the product with clean, dry hands.
Castor Oil
An effective cleansing oil with excellent slip that helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, sebum and other oil-soluble buildup.
It forms the main oil phase of the balm, helping stubborn products loosen from the skin so they can be removed with less rubbing.
Sweet Almond Oil
A lightweight emollient oil that adds slip and softness to the cleansing phase, making it easier to massage the balm across the face and delicate eye area without excessive friction.
Grapeseed Oil
A lightweight, linoleic-acid-rich emollient chosen to give the balm effective oil-based cleansing without relying on extremely heavy oils.
Along with the rest of the oil blend, it helps dissolve long-wear makeup and sunscreen while keeping the balm comfortable for acne-prone skin.
Vitamin E
An oil-soluble antioxidant that helps support the formula's oils while also providing skin-conditioning benefits during cleansing.
Emulsifier System
This helps the oil phase mix with water when you rinse and is why this cleansing balm transforms from balm → oil → milky emulsion, allowing the dissolved makeup, sunscreen and oils to wash away instead of simply leaving a greasy layer on your skin.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-20 Stearate, Polysorbate 80, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Olus Oil, Tocopherol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Tocopheryl Acetate.

FAQs
Yes. Oily or acne-prone skin does not need to avoid cleansing oils.
Oil itself is not synonymous with pore-clogging. Butter But Better uses a deliberately selected blend of oils including Castor, Sweet Almond and Grapeseed Oil, rather than relying on heavier ingredients such as coconut oil, and the formula is designed to emulsify and rinse away.
As with any skincare product, individual skin can react differently, but acne-prone skin alone is not a reason to avoid this balm.
A well-formulated cleansing balm should not automatically clog pores simply because it contains oils.
What matters is the specific oils, the complete formulation and how well the balm emulsifies and rinses. Butter But Better combines its oil phase with an emulsifier system that turns milky on contact with water, helping the balm — along with the makeup and sunscreen it has dissolved — rinse away cleanly.
Yes — eye makeup is one of the main reasons we'd choose Butter But Better over micellar water.
Massage a small amount gently over closed eyes to dissolve mascara, liner and other eye makeup instead of repeatedly rubbing with a cotton pad. Very stubborn waterproof mascara or eyeliner may need a second pass.
Avoid getting the product directly into the eyes and rinse with water if that happens.
Yes, it is specifically designed to dissolve stubborn makeup and water-resistant sunscreen.
The oil phase helps break down long-wear, oil-soluble products that may be harder to remove with a regular water-based face wash alone.
Extremely tenacious waterproof mascara or eyeliner can vary by formula and may occasionally need a second pass.
Not necessarily — but it can still be useful if you wear stubborn or water-resistant sunscreen.
If your normal cleanser already removes your sunscreen completely and comfortably, you don't need to add another cleansing step just for the sake of double cleansing.
Butter But Better makes the most sense when makeup or SPF is difficult to remove with your regular cleanser alone.
Not every single time.
If you've used Butter But Better to remove a full face of makeup, eye makeup or heavy/water-resistant SPF, we'd generally follow it with a water-based cleanser.
Choose Gentle Foaming Gel Face Wash for a lighter foaming second cleanse, or Hydrating Gentle Daily Cleanser if your skin is dry, sensitive or easily left tight after washing.
The point is to get your skin clean — not to follow a compulsory number of cleansing steps.
Butter But Better is our stronger choice for heavier makeup, eye makeup and stubborn SPF; Comfort Cleanse is the quicker, lighter option.
Choose the balm if you want to massage makeup off with minimal rubbing, particularly around the eyes.
Choose Micellar Water for lighter makeup/SPF, quick removal, a weightless texture or fungal-acne-safe cleansing.
It is designed to rinse clean rather than leave a heavy oily coating.
The balm first melts into an oil as you massage it. When you add water, its emulsifiers allow that oil phase to disperse into a milky emulsion that can be rinsed away.
That emulsification step matters — don't simply massage the balm on and wipe it off.
No.
The current formula contains an oil/emollient profile that we do not position as fungal-acne safe. If Malassezia compatibility is important to you, Comfort Cleanse Micellar Water is the better first-cleanse option.
Use clean, completely dry hands and scoop a small amount out with the back of your fingernail, rather than pushing your fingertips into the product.
Because Butter But Better is an anhydrous balm, keeping water out of the jar is particularly important. Then massage the balm onto a completely dry face before adding water to emulsify it.

I have been using this for a few days now and its actually good. My skin doesnt feel stripped off or dry afterwards.
I just washed a full face of makeup with it and it worked wonderfully. The best thing is not just it melts the makeup but that it did not sting my eyes or blurred my vision or clogged my eyelashes. It emulsifies beautifully and is so light on the skin. I think it’s a great choice for people who want gentle no fragrance non stripping make up remover balm.
I’ve been using it for 2 years and it’s been my favorite. Does what it says & so gentle on skin. Remove all excess makeup without leaving any oily residue.
Excellent product would definitely buy again.
I have an oily skin and i used this product...Removes dirt and clean my face. after use this i used gel based cleanser.
Bhtt acha product hai may nay second time order kia
Good product
Excellent cleansing balm I have ever used.
I have searched through many brands, but most of them don’t sell cleansing balms. However, you do provide cleansing balm, which is wonderful, and your cleansing balm is of the best quality.
Loved it
It took me some time getting used to the texture, but the most concerning thing is the packaging; it needs a more air-tight packaging. For some reason, it starts growing mold very easily. The product is good, but we need better packaging so that it can stay clean longer. And please sterilize the jars too, if you don't do it already.
Excellent for cleansing. Leaves the skin feeling fresh, soft, and plump. However, it doesn’t remove waterproof mascara as I had expected, so a separate makeup remover is still needed for that
I have bought this cleanser for the third time and it is amazing. Completely removes the makeup from skin.
It melts my face makeup easily but with some eyeliners you really have to scrub it in to get it off. Overall, good product to use a first step in double cleansing. I follow it up with their Salicylic Acid face wash.
Good feels better than other balm cleansers
Using this since 2 years, this suits for my oily acne prone skin
Great product...i really like how easily it rinses off. My one suggestion would be to include a spatula with the butter to prevent it from contamination.
This was my first time trying out a local brand and honestly it’s hands down the best purchase i made. I have acne prone skin and i’ve been using this for 3-4 months I’ve noticed how it completely rinses the makeup off and has helped improve my skin a lot

I have been using this balm for 4 to 5 months and it has become my holy grail product. It's really affordable comparing to other brands and washes for nicely. I am really glad that it doesn't leave any oily residue. ♥️♥️

Cleansing balms usually leave a gross oil layer behind but this one doesn't. It's super gentle, get's rid of heavy eye makeup as well very easily. Definitely buying it again!

It's my second purchase. I have been struggling with acne for quite a long time. Tried everything but didn't suit my skin. Since the day I started using this as a double cleansing, it reduce the reoccurring acne. And helps me in clearing the pores.
