Is the I’m From Fig Cleansing Balm any good?

Double cleansing is an essential part of my evening skincare routine. On most days, it’s just the necessary part I need to get done until I get to the fun stuff. But with the right products, you can start to unwind right from the cleansing step. Today, I want to share a review about the I’m From Fig Cleansing Balm by the K-Beauty brand I’m From with you, that just does that. The product was kindly gifted to me, but as always I’m sharing my honest opinion with you.

What does it do?

The cleansing balm is from the most recent Fig Line from I’m From.Fig extract is an antioxidant, that helps to prevent waterloss, fades dark spots, improves skin texture and calm redness. The cleansing balm contains 7.8% fig and oil water to cleanse the skin gently and help against blackheads. This cleansing balms also contains vitamins and polyphenol to hydrate the skin and not dry it out during the cleansing process.

How Do I use it?

I use it as first step of my double cleansing routine in the evening. If you don’t know how double cleansing works, you can read about it here. The cleansing balm comes with its own small spatula, that fits inside of the packaging – so practical and hygienic! – and scoops out the balm nicely.

I scoop out a small amount, maybe a quarter of a walnut, warm it up slightly in my hand and then I massage it onto my skin. Then I work it in for a bit and then I wash it off with luke-warm water, which takes everything off easily. Next is my water based cleanser to complete the cleansing process.

Texture of I’m From Fig Cleansing balm

The balm is solid, but not hard. You can easily scoop out the product with a spatual. After warming it up slightly with your fingers, it melts effortlessly and creates a smooth, not too oily, not to grippy texture. It’s very relaxing and comfortable to massage around the face. It’s not runny, so nothing will get into your eyes, and it’s not too firm either, so you don’t have to drag your skin. When you wash it off with luke-warm water, it emulsifies and is easy to take off.

Effect of I’m From Fig cleansing balm

The cleansing balm is very effective at breaking up sunscreen and makeup. It helps to cleanse the skin effectively. If you take some time to massage it in around the nose, the blackheads appear less visible after the cleansing process. After cleansing my skin is clean and feels smooth, not dry or irritated at all. Overall, I really enjoy using this cleansing balm and tend to pick it whenever I want to take my time with skincare and really unwind. It doesn’t take long to cleanse your skin, but it’s very pleasant to keep massaging your skin for a bit.

Do I recommend I’m From Fig cleansing balm?

Yes, I do recommend the I’m From Fig Cleansing Balm. I myself have acne prone combination skin, but I think it would be suitable for all skin types. It’s a little bit pricey but it will last for quite some time and gives your cleansing step an elevated experience while being gentle and effective. So, if you want to treat yourself, this is the cleansing balm to go for.
