Massaging the solid balm with dry hands melts it into a slip that carries residue off the surface rather than pushing it deeper. Adding a little water partway through the massage flips the balm into a milky emulsion, the cue that it is ready to rinse clean instead of leaving an oily film behind. This is step one of Korean double cleansing, and it is built to hand off to a second, water-based cleanser rather than to finish the job alone. ## How to use 1. Scoop a small, pea to almond sized amount with dry hands and warm it between your palms until it turns clear. Massage over a completely dry face, working into makeup, sunscreen and the T-zone for thirty to sixty seconds. Add a splash of water and continue massaging until the balm turns milky, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with a water-based cleanser rather than skipping straight to toner. ## FAQ ### Do I apply this cleansing balm to wet or dry skin? Dry skin and dry hands, every time. Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original DUO SET 180mlX2 is an oil-based balm, and oil binds to the oils already on your face, makeup and sunscreen far more effectively before water is introduced. Add water only once you have massaged for thirty seconds or more, at which point the balm turns milky and is ready to rinse away. ### Does this replace my regular face wash? No, this is the first half of a two-step cleanse. Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original DUO SET 180mlX2 lifts sunscreen and makeup, then a second, water-based cleanser removes the sweat and residue an oil balm is not designed to clear. Skipping the second step on a heavy makeup day can leave a light film behind. ### Will this cleansing balm clog my pores? An oil cleansing balm is designed to be rinsed off completely once it emulsifies with water, so it is not left sitting on skin the way a leave-on facial oil is. As long as you massage until the texture turns milky and rinse thoroughly, the balm carries residue away rather than leaving it behind on the surface. ### Is it safe to use every day? Yes, a nightly double cleanse is standard in a Korean routine, and Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original DUO SET 180mlX2 is formulated for that frequency. If you wear light or no makeup and skip sunscreen, a morning cleanse can use a gentler water-based wash on its own instead. ### How do I know my jar is the authentic Korean-market formula? Check the batch code and Korean-language text printed on the base of the jar against what Banila Co prints on its own packaging; a US-reformulated version sold through a general retailer will not carry the same Korean-primary label. This listing is the exact Korean-market Clean It Zero formula, not a US-shelf substitute. --- Page: https://korean-pharmacy.com/products/banila-co-clean-it-zero-cleansing-balm-original-duo-set-180mlx2
