Move over luxury cleansers, there's a new budget-friendly hero transforming British skincare routines. CeraVe's Transforming Cleanser Balm has arrived on UK shelves, promising professional-level makeup removal without the premium price tag.
First Impressions: Texture & Application
Unlike traditional balms that can feel heavy or greasy, CeraVe's formula transforms upon contact with water. The initial rich balm texture magically converts into a lightweight oil, then emulsifies into a milky consistency that rinses clean without leaving any residue.
Makeup Removal Power: Put To The Test
We tested this cult-followed cleanser against some of Britain's toughest makeup challenges:
- Waterproof mascara: Dissolved completely with gentle massaging
- Long-wear foundation: Lifted away without stripping skin
- Liquid lipstick: Broken down efficiently in under 60 seconds
- Heavy glitter: Removed without irritating delicate eye areas
Skincare Benefits Beyond Cleansing
What sets this balm apart is CeraVe's signature ceramide complex. While effectively removing makeup, it simultaneously works to:
- Restore and maintain your skin's natural protective barrier
- Lock in essential moisture throughout the cleansing process
- Support skin's natural renewal process with essential lipids
British Beauty Editor Verdict
At under £15, this cleansing balm represents exceptional value for money in today's cost-conscious climate. It performs on par with luxury alternatives costing three times as much, making it accessible to skincare enthusiasts across all budgets.
"For those tired of double-cleansing or dealing with stubborn eye makeup, CeraVe's Transforming Cleanser Balm could be the simple, effective solution your routine has been missing," notes our beauty tester.

- Makeup wearers seeking efficient removal
