"Its solid balm form melts into a luxurious oil and turns into a nourishing milk texture that rinses off clean. Formulated with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid, ceramides and peptides.
The product has a 4.8 star rating on the Boots website, with more than 80 five star reviews. Among the reviews, one person said: "Amazing makeup remover. Seriously amazing and a little goes a very long ways!
"Has no issue removing waterproof makeup or anything and leaves my face feeling hydrated."
A second wrote: "Feels high end. I have super dry skin, and this product feels very high end for the low price."
A third shopper added: "I love how it's “melting off”, just add some water and it lathers up a lot!!! But it doesn’t dry out your skin either!!! WIN WIN!!!"
Another said: "Absolutely love this product. Foundation melts away effortlessly and it’s a great price. Have tried other brands and this is the best by far."
However, some shoppers were less impressed with the cleansing balm and shared their thoughts in the reviews. One person said: "Not my favourite way to remove makeup. It doesn’t feel like it really cleans or removes anything. It feels like I’m just rubbing stuff on my face and rinsing it off."
Another added: "My skin did not like this product, felt so tight and sore after cleansing, actually gave me a headache somehow, possibly the fragrance.
"Don't get me wrong, this melts your makeup right off, black eyeliner and everything, but at a cost to my skin. I have very dry, sensitive skin, so for others I'm sure its fine.
"Too bad cause I love the Holy Hydration face cream, its a staple in my routine. However, this I cannot use."
The e.l.f. Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm is priced at £10. You can shop it online here.
