Best cleansing balm for dry, dehydrated skin: Dermal Therapy’s new $25 cleanser is ‘divine’

We all have our personal skin concerns — mine just so happens to be seriously dry, dehydrated and sensitive at the best of times.

Winter certainly takes its toll, with too-hot showers and a drop in temperature leaving me searching for my trusty favourite formulas.

Among the list of barrier creams and hydrating mists is a great cleanser. One that is simple, yet effective enough at wiping away the day without leaving my skin feeling stripped.

On the hunt for a newbie to add to my line-up, I spied an affordable arrival from Dermal Therapy on the pharmacy shelves.

The much-loved — and repeatedly viral — skincare brand just dropped a new After-Hours Cleansing Balm, $24.99.

This oil-based balm has a melting effect for dissolving all kinds of makeup, mascara, dirt and impurities at the end of the day.

It’s become the latest addition to my daily routine — and my skin can’t stop thanking me.

As someone who tends to whizz through my evening skincare regime so I can hop straight into bed, a cleanser needs to do the hard work for me.

And that’s exactly what Dermal Therapy After-Hours Cleansing Balm does.

I start by massaging a small amount (a little goes a long way) across my face, working it into a gorgeous, oily texture.

Working it across my face and décolletage, even removing mascara, I then add just a touch of water to emulsify and turn it into a milk-like liquid before rinsing off.

The results? Dewy, hydrated skin without feeling tight, ready for the next nourishing step.

Designed to fit straight into the brand’s Overnight range, the Face Repair Cream and Lip Repair promise silky-soft results come morning.

Despite being a new addition to the shelves at Priceline and Chemist Warehouse , shoppers are already raving about the After-Hours Cleansing Balm.
