Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Banila Co's Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original leaves a plasticky residue that doesn't fully break down, according to James Welsh (skincare focus). He calls it "the starting point of a cleansing balm" but says it's "outdated" and "doesn't hold up" against newer options. It's decent for a first balm, but many better alternatives now exist.
