Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Purifying
The variant of Clean It Zero aimed at oily and blemish-prone skin. Same sherbet-balm mechanism as the Original — melt on dry skin, emulsify with water, rinse — with a lighter finish and a botanical angle rather than the comfort-first slant of the pink one. Think of the line as one product in several finishes: the differences between the variants are real but modest, and the choice comes down to how your skin feels an hour after rinsing.
Who it suits
Oily and combination skin that likes the convenience of a balm but finds the Original leaves things a little too cushioned. Also a sensible pick if you wear sunscreen daily and want it properly off without a foaming cleanser doing all the work. Dry or reactive skin will usually be happier with the Original, which is more comfortable and less brisk on the rinse.
How to use it
Dry hands, dry face, a spatula scoop massaged in for around a minute so it has time to break down sunscreen and makeup. Add water gradually until it emulsifies to a milk, rinse lukewarm, then follow with a gentle water-based cleanser. Evening only, and once a day is plenty even if your skin is oily.
