Luxury vs Affordable Cleansing Balm?! 😮

Skincare doesn't always need to break the bank!

I love a good luxury skincare products, but most of the time is just isn't something I can spend money on.

Many luxury cleansing balms have affordable dupes that feel (and work) similarly.🙌🏻 Let's compare...

💫Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, $68 3.5 oz💫

This is a cult-favorite skincare product. The creaminess of the balm mixed with the spa scent definitely feels like you're getting a facial when applying it. But if you need to use a cleansing balm daily, which I typically do, the cost is a bit steep.

👍Pros: creamy, large tub, melts away all makeup including waterproof, spa experience with essential oil scent

🤔Cons: pricey, essential oils can irritate sensitive skin

✨️Byoma Melting Balm Cleanser, $14.99 2.12 oz✨️

I love Byoma's bright, playful packaging. And because you can easily pick this up on your next Target run, it is more accessible. The texture of this is still super creamy and rinses off easily.

👍Pros: creamy, melts away all makeup including waterproof, fragrance-free

🤔Cons: slightly smaller tub

Overall, the Byoma Cleansing Balm wins!!

It works just as well as the Elemis cleansing balm, the texture feels very similar, and comes in a super cute tub. I actually like that it is fragrance-free because it will work for those with sensitive skin.

A good compromise would be to get a travel size of the Elemis balm to use on special occasions (spa nights, travel bag) and use the Byoma balm daily.
