Aquamarine Melt Cleansing Gel-Balm - Gel Nettoyant

I never leave reviews, but this is the worst ever.

Does not remove makeup and does not cleanse. I NEVER leave reviews on skincare because it is so dependent on the person. But this is awful. If you don't spend several minutes shaking it to get a proper consistency before use, then it is basically oily water coming out. But let's say you shake it til your arm falls off to get the proper consistency. The pump barely works, and mine broke after 3 uses. And while I am not smell sensitive at all, I would hope that with a hard to use product you could at least make it not smell like fish guts and seaweed. Warning any person who cares about their wallet and sanity to not buy this product. Buy the ELF balm or literally anything else.

Good at getting off makeup, but very messy and comes out watery even after you shake it. Wish I had just gotten a cleansing balm instead

Pass

As mentioned by many other reviews, the product separates. It doesn't matter how much you shake it. After use, my face just felt like it had a layer of oil left over. I wouldn't recommend for anyone who wants the clean feel after washing your face.

Great product in an awful packaging

Wanted to love this product and had to purchase/exchange twice as pump stopped working after about a month each time. Hope they rethink the packaging and fix the issue. Need to return again in the meantime.

Best balm cleanser I’ve ever tried!

Glad I ignored the negative comments and tried it anyway! They discontinued their other balm cleanser and replaced it with this one. This one is far superior to that!Leaves my skin clean and glowy. The product was separated when I first tried it but all I did was shake the bottle and it went back to normal.

I recommend for non sensitive skin

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This gel balm cleanser was to harsh on my skin. Made my face red and dry. I did like that it didn't smell harsh. Smelled natural and the blue container is appealing to the eye. I recommend if you don't have sensitive skin. Thank you Influenster for the product.

This product separates causing a very heavy oily residue. It broke my skin out so bad especially in my upper lip. Taking back. Very disappointed

Need to re think the packaging

I like the general premise and during my first few tries it worked really well ( the formula and the pump). But it didn’t last long. The gel and oil seem to separate and the pump doesn’t work well. although I still gave a lot if product left although

DO NOT BUY - has BAD stability/separation issues.

I liked it originally, but after a month it had EXTREME stability issues. What started as a creamy gel turned into a separated oily mess. It is really disappointing that Sunday Riley isn't pulling this off the shelves until they can fix this formula.

Yikes

I thought it was supposed to be a gel balm? Mine was completely liquefied. Took off mascara ok but not any more efficiently than my cheaper cleansers. Most egregiously, I broke out after first use despite following with another cleanser.

Oily mess that separates

As the non paid reviews suggest : separates, oily and messy. Doesn’t feel like much product comes out with a pump. Consistency is not as demonstrated in the shop - very disappointing. Not at all the quality expected.

Not a gel. Not a balm. Not a good product.

I wish I would have read reviews but I didn’t. This does come out like water where is blue anything? Unclear. Just like your face after washing it with this weird water situation. Really regret this one.
