Reviews

Melt, Cleanse, Glow

"I've been using the IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm and it’s quickly become a favorite in my routine. The creamy balm melts into a milky cleanser and easily removes makeup and sunscreen without leaving my skin feeling dry. My skin feels soft and hydrated after rinsing, which I really appreciate since my skin can lean dry. It’s a great first step if you like double cleansing or just want a gentle but effective cleanser."

Review

"I received the IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm (travel size) and wanted to leave my honest review. The size is perfect for traveling. Nice texture. No overpowering scent. The only thing is that for me this product is a little too greasy. But overall the balm does its job and leaves a pleasant feeling on the skin. Thank you."

Iryna (4/5)

Gentle, hydrating cleanser for sensitive dry skin

"I have very sensitive, dry skin, so I am always careful about the cleansers I use. IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm has been such a great find. The balm feels rich and smooth going on, and once you add water, it turns into a soft cleansing milk that rinses away easily without leaving my skin feeling tight or stripped. I love that it contains grapeseed oil, chamomile, and vanilla because it leaves my skin feeling calm, hydrated, and much less dry-looking. The light scent is very soothing, and my skin feels soft, clean, and comfortable after every use. It is easy to see why IMAGE is considered the #1 spa skincare brand. I received this product as part of a sampling program for my honest review."

Kimberly (5/5)

So soft

"Wow. This cleanser feels so amazing. After the first time using it I already felt my skin feeling softer. Take your time scrub for face and use room temp water to scrub your face again you see the whiteness of the milk coming out on your skin. I have super sensitive skin and this product didn't only make my skin feel soft and not dry it didn't make me have a reaction or break out. It's easy to pump out. Small and compact to bring everywhere with you. I received this product for free for my honest review."

Jessica (5/5)

Gentle Balm That Soothes & Deep Cleans Skin

"I’ve been really enjoying the IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm, especially on days when my skin feels dry or sensitive. The balm melts into the skin and easily removes makeup and impurities without any harsh rubbing. It has a light chamomile and vanilla scent that feels calming, and once you add water, it turns into a milky texture that rinses off clean leaving my skin soft, hydrated, and not greasy. I’ve noticed my redness looks calmer after using it, and my skin feels nourished and balanced every time."

Nitu K. (5/5)

Very Happy With This!

"This is the perfect travel sized cleansing balm. It's super high quality, the formula goes on very nicely and I love the way it leaves my skin feeling. The size of the bottle is perfect and I love how well it works. It has a great lineup of ingredients and my skin feels clean, nourished and soft after using this product. I received this product as part of a sampling program for your honest review."

Sophia (5/5)

My skin loves this cleanser!

"I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been looking for a good, gentle, barrier-friendly cleanser lately, and this cleansing balm honestly surprised me. The texture is super silky and melts right into your skin, then turns into a light milky cleanser when you add water. My skin can get sensitive and a little red, and this actually helped calm it down without leaving it feeling stripped. I've been really enjoying it! My skin feels clean, hydrated and smooth."

Irene R. (5/5)

Gentle Cleanser perfect for travel

"I am 40, and my first impression of the IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm surprised me. When I squeezed it out, it felt a bit more oily than the cleansers I usually use. But once I started massaging it in, it all made sense. The balm melts into the skin and does an amazing job breaking down stubborn makeup. It feels silky and spreads easily. The real surprise came after I rinsed it off. My skin felt absolutely smooth and truly clean, with zero oily residue left behind. No dryness. Just soft, balanced skin. I also love that it has a very light, barely noticeable scent. Nothing irritating, just a gentle, clean feel. The travel size was perfect for trying it out, but now I know I’ll be getting the full size."

Inna C. (5/5)

Melts makeup off without stripping skin

"I’ve been really impressed with this cleansing balm. The texture is smooth and melts instantly into the skin, breaking down makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without any harsh rubbing. It feels very gentle and nourishing, and I love how it leaves my skin soft, clean, and hydrated instead of tight or dry. The formula blends easily and rinses off well, giving my skin a fresh, healthy finish. It definitely feels like a high-quality, spa-level product and has become a staple in my routine."

Larissa R. (5/5)

Love this cleanser. Great for sensitive skin.

"This cleanser is truly next-level skincare. It’s easy to see why IMAGE MD is considered one of the #1 spa skincare brands. The balm-to-milk texture feels incredibly luxurious, thicker and rich at first, then it melted into a silky cleanse that rinses completely clean and I had no residue. I was really shocked how clean my skin felt. I love how gentle it is, especially for sensitive skin like mine. The blend of grapeseed oil, chamomile, and vanilla has a comforting feel (not overpowering at all). My skin felt deeply nourished, hydrated, and noticeably less red after each use. It leaves my face feeling VERY soft and glowing. I felt like I had a true spa-quality experience at home!:) I received this product as part of a sampling program for my honest review."
