HaruHaru Wonder - Centella Sunflower Makeup-Melting Cleansing Balm

Cleansing is often the step that causes damage: rubbing, stinging eyes, tight skin. The HaruHaru Wonder Centella Sunflower Makeup-Melting Cleansing Balm(100g) solves these three problems in a single application.

Its sorbet texture melts upon contact with dry skin and transforms into a cleansing oil, effortlessly dissolving waterproof makeup, UV filters, and excess sebum. Sunflower oil (5,000 ppm unsaponifiables)and squalane strengthen the skin barrier instead of depleting it, while centella asiatica extract soothes post-cleansing redness. After rinsing, skin remains supple and without tightness.

It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin, and naturally integrates as the first step in a Korean double cleanse.

How to incorporate HaruHaru Wonder Centella Sunflower Makeup-Melting Cleansing Balm into your Korean routine?

1. Cleansing balm (evening): Take a small amount of balm with the spatula provided and apply it to dry skin. Gently massage for 30 seconds to melt away makeup and sunscreen. This is the step for this product.
2. Emulsify and rinse: Add a little water to emulsify the balm, which will then turn white and milky. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
3. Water-based cleanser (double cleansing): Follow with a Korean facial cleanser to remove any residual impurities and further purify the skin.
4. Toner: Apply a Korean toner to rebalance the pH and prepare the skin for subsequent treatments.
5. Serum or ampoule: Target imperfections or hydration with a Korean serum or ampoule suitable for your skin.
6. Moisturizer: Seal your routine with a Korean moisturizer to protect the skin barrier throughout the night.

This balm is a cleanser, not an active treatment: its effects are immediate with every use, leaving the skin clean and comfortable from the very first application.
