After a night on the red carpet, Gwyneth wants every bit of makeup—including the waterproof mascara—off as fast as possible. With that moment in mind, we created a new all-in-one, silky-soft, truly elegant balm cleanser to lift away even the most stubborn makeup and sunscreen in a single step. No matter your skin type, it cleanses without stripping, going from balm to oil to milk, then rinsing away easily—for fresh, clean, beautifully hydrated skin.
“It melts into an oil, then a milk that feels so good on your skin—you almost forget that it works so well,” says Gwyneth. “It really takes it all off.”
The luxurious, addictively soft balm is made with Midsummer Night’s Dream Oilwhich includes seven exquisite flower-oil extracts (jasmine, neroli, cherry blossom, damask rose, lavender, peony, and elderflower). The balm nourishes with antioxidants and minerals while helping maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier. It’s clinically proven to remove makeup, dirt, pollution, and sunscreen. It’s safe for sensitive skin and the delicate eye and lip areas. And it leaves skin looking and feeling dewy-fresh, moisturized, and radiant.

How to Use It
The best first step in any routine, the balm melts away your day in seconds. If you love a double cleanse, it takes everything off for the perfect start.
Step 1:
Scoop
With your fingers or the spatula that comes with the balm, take a pea-size dab of balm.
Step 2:
Melt
Smooth the balm between your fingers to warm it.
Step 3:
Massage
Work into your skin (the balm will change into an oil), including the areas around the eyes and lips.
Step 4:
Add Water
Splash your skin or wet the included organic cotton cloth and massage as the oil turns into a milk.
Step 5:
Rinse
The milk washes away easily, leaving your skin soft, hydrated, and healthy-looking.
Optional:
Double Cleanse
With the balm as the first cleanse, follow with an exfoliant, a nourishing essence, or a face mask, depending on your skin.
