Facial Cleansing | Makeup Removal

For a limited time only, we’re bringing back the cleansing balm that started it all: The ORIGINAL Green Clean Cleansing Balm, fresh from the vault.

Reintroduced to celebrate 10 years of Farmacy, this award-winning formula returns for a limited-time drop to melt away waterproof mascara, long-wearing makeup, and daily buildup with ease.

Our best-selling makeup remover balm and face cleanser in one, it instantly removes impurities while leaving skin hydrated, smooth, and refreshed.

Melts the day away. Sunflower and ginger root oils effortlessly remove even the boldest eye makeup and long-wear foundation effortlessly—without stripping, drying or leaving any residue.

Gently exfoliates. Papaya extract helps to retexture skin and reveal a youthful glow. Never harsh, it’s safe for all skin types, including dry and delicate skin.

Smells like vacation! A refreshing blend of lime, bergamot and orange essential oils is exhilarating and revitalizing.

TSA-approved. This unique cleansing balm stays a sorbet-like solid in the jar until it makes contact with skin and transforms to a silky oil (then a luxe, milky lather!).

Reviews

Keep making this original formula permanently!

"This is truly still the best cleansing balm. The reformulation never worked for me. This original formula is the ONLY thing that works for my skin and does not irritate it at all. It actually has helped heal my skin and acne! I have tried so many other alternatives and my skin freaks out every time. I am SO happy this original formula is back and I hope they make it a permanent option! Please don't ever stop making this one!"

— Maria (5/5)

"Love this product. Lasts me forever! The only makeup remover I use and have used for 7 years."

— MJ (5/5)

"This melts off your makeup it is amazing !"

— lizett (5/5)

"This formula is still my holy grail after years - cleans without leaving residue with or without makeup and skin feels so soft but not irritated despite sensititivities. I stopped purchasing the balm after Farmacy changed the formula last year because my skin did not take well. Please keep this original formula available!"

— Daniella (5/5)

Great gift

"This was a purchase for my daughter whom had previously used Farmacy Green Clean. She said it worked wonders to “melt” away her eye makeup without any irritation."

— Glenda S. (5/5)

Holy Grail cleanser

Original formula is the best

"After trying the “new” green clean in the green container I was ready to abandon the product. The texture was heavier and didn’t rinse as well as the original formula in the white container which I hope you will bring back permanently."

— Cindy V. (5/5)

"Perfect for travel"

— Missy (5/5)
