House of Hur Purifying Cleansing Balm 1.69 fl oz — Hydrating, Calming Silk-Texture

House of Hur Purifying Cleansing Balm is a silk-textured Korean cleansing balm that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities while leaving skin hydrated and calm.

This multipurpose cleansing balm transforms from a balm into a lightweight oil and then an emulsion, allowing you to remove long-wear makeup and surface grime without stripping moisture. Formulated for gentle but thorough cleansing, it targets everyday urban build-up and leaves the skin feeling supple and balanced. Use it as the first step in double cleansing or on its own for a quick, hydrating cleanse.

How does this balm remove heavy makeup without drying out skin?

The balm dissolves oil-based products and lifts pigments and sunscreen by converting into an oil that traps and breaks down residues. When rinsed with water it emulsifies into a milky texture, washing away impurities while retaining skin's natural moisture barrier.

• Solid-to-oil texture to dissolve waterproof and long-wear formulas
• Emulsifies with water for easy rinsing and minimal residue
• Hydrating ingredients that help prevent post-cleanse tightness

What makes it suitable for sensitive or breakout-prone skin?

The formula focuses on gentle cleansing agents and hydrating components rather than harsh surfactants, reducing irritation risk. Its calming profile supports a balanced feel after use, which helps when skin is reactive or easily aggravated.

• Mild cleansing action that avoids aggressive stripping
• Designed to soothe and maintain skin comfort after cleansing
• Free of overly drying detergents that can trigger sensitivity

How should I use the cleansing balm in my routine?

Use a fingertip amount on dry skin, massage gently to dissolve makeup and oil, then add water to turn the balm into a milky emulsion and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a water-based cleanser if you prefer double cleansing for a deeper pore-level clean.

• Apply to dry face, focusing on makeup-heavy areas
• Massage 30–60 seconds to break down buildup
• Add water, emulsify, and rinse; optionally follow with a foam or gel cleanser

Will this balm leave a film or interfere with other skincare steps?

When properly emulsified and rinsed, the balm should not leave an unwanted film; it is formulated to cleanse while keeping skin hydrated, not coated. Any light, beneficial moisturizing residue helps serums and creams absorb better rather than blocking them.

• Emulsifies cleanly for easy rinsing
• Leaves minimal, non-greasy moisture to support absorption of active products
• Compatible with follow-up toners, essences, and moisturizers

Who this is for: The House of Hur Purifying Cleansing Balm suits anyone wanting an efficient, soothing makeup remover that prioritizes hydration—ideal for those wearing daily sunscreen, light-to-full coverage makeup, or for people who prefer a gentler first cleanse. It’s particularly useful for individuals seeking a non-drying, easy-to-rinse formula that fits into both busy morning routines and more elaborate evening regimens.
