Although this video contains ads, we tested all three cleansing balms over the course of multiple weeks and our key findings are detailed for you below. We compared their ability to remove makeup whilst keeping the skin hydrated and healthy, as well their texture and ingredients. We hope you find this information and comparison useful!

Similarities:

⭐️ All cleansing balms contain the star * ingredient “Linoleic Acid”.
This Lineolic Acid comes from the Safflower Oil in the Clinique and from Sunflower Oil in the Superdrug B. Melting Cleansing Balm & La Prairie. Linoleic Acid is a Omega-6 fatty acid which helps protect the skin barrier.
⛔️All three cleansing balms are alcohol free which ensures the skin
does not feel stripped or tight after using
💧All three contain Vitamin E
🥛 All three cleansing balms contain many of the same emollients which give them all a balm to milky texture

Differences
🫠The La Prairie has a lower melting point, which makes its inital texture is softer compared to both Clinique and Superdrug. The texture of Clinique and Superdrug is very similar as you can see in the video.
👃The Clinique cleansing balm is fragrance free and free from essential oils making it great for sensitive skin
