The Cailyn Dissolv’It Cleansing Balm looks like a pretty pot of rose gelato and it’s one of the best balm cleansers I’ve come across recently. No surprise that it’s made in Korea because it’s a new texture for a balm that can only be described as a fondant balm or a balm-lite. It’s responsive to body temperature so as soon as it goes onto your skin it becomes almost fluid (not drippy!) which is excellent for massaging over the complexion. I think I was too enthusiastic in the amount I used because you don’t actually need very much at all and for something that feels like a light oil once it’s distributed over the face, it doesn’t leave any residue when you rinse away.
The star ingredients are papaya enzyme which is always a winner for exterminating dead skin cells and vitamin C heavy acerola, and I even notice there is a bit of resveratol in there (the top listed ingredient is cetyl ethylhexanoate which is what gives it that amazing ‘slip’). I tested it on end-of-day make up and it took away everything properly but struggled a little bit with mascara. There is a light, anonymous floral scent to it but almost un-noticable.
If you love a balm cleanser, but don’t like balms that leave a residue and prefer a very cleansed feel, it’s for you. I’m absolutely thrilled with this purchase and think it’s good value for £20. You can find it HERE. The last thing I bought from Cailyn was the O Wow brush which I also love, so this is very much a brand to watch.

Oh, this sounds interesting – It looks pretty similar to the Banila Co Clean It Zero cleanser, which is one of my all-time favourites!
I had a sample of this from Victoria Health last year and loved it. The tiny pot lasted for ages too.
This brand also makes a lip exfoliator/lip stain called Cocoon – its one of those peel off ones. I’ve never tried it but its supposed to be one of the best ones on the market. Now you’ve made me so curious about this cleansing balm!
I’m going to try some other products from Cailyn and I’m really looking forward to it x
This sounds soooo interesting. I wear loads of makeup on a daily basis and need something that won’t try out my skin. I would love to try this!
