The Product

Don’t let the orangey dreamsicle-like aroma fool you – Skinn Cosmetics Olive & Enzyme Rich Balm Cleanser is one very effective complexion cleanser. This decadently thick, water-free, super-rich, night-time cleansing balm is the ultimate in skin luxury, and is priced less than most leading department store brands.

Gentle yet highly effective, the Olive & Enzyme Rich Balm Cleanser dissolves dirt, makeup, daily grime, pollution and dead skin cells and removes even waterproof eye makeup as it softens and smoothes the skin with rich olive butter.

Meant to be used before bedtime, Skinn Cosmetic’s Olive & Enzyme Rich Balm Cleanser offers a powerful formula loaded with Polyphenols and skin enzymes, boosting collagen and fighting free radicals while you sleep. Orange oil works to purify and soften for the cleanest and freshest skin ever!  Apply as a mask for the ultimate super smoothing, resurfacing, deep pore cleansing treatment.

This product removes away all the dirt/makeup, and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and above all clean. And unlike most cleansers, this one actually smells good and doesn’t have a “burning sensation” when using the product. I just love the orange scent!! It even removes my waterproof eye makeup – which means one less product to use later on!

After using this product for a couple weeks now, I can honestly say that I would recommend it to anyone (men and women)! I would absolutely love to try Dimitri’s makeup line someday…it looks and sounds amazing!!
