Thank you @ather!

Great job on your empties! 🥳

I ended up having to return Farmacy Clearly Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 3.4 oz/ 100 mL @JoSometimes I had a bad reaction too it, I really miss Green Clean too.

What I'm using instead use SEPHORA COLLECTION Melting Cleansing Balm with Algae Extract 4.22 oz / 125 mL, it's not as amazing as green clean but it's pretty good stuff.

@CynthieLu If I remember correctly, you were using The INKEY List Oat Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 5/150 a while back. How would you compare that one with the SC balm you’re using now?

CynthieLu · ‎11-16-2023

Yes you are 💯 percent correct. I have a back up bottle waiting too be open at this moment. @JoSometimes

I love that one. 😄

So I think of SC as a make up remover, I think of my OB as more skin care that removes make up. I can wear it as a mask, I never have too worry about my skin when I use it. So I need that back up bottle in case of a skin care emergency. I'll use it more and more as the dry weather comes about. Right now I really am trying to have less open and use what I have 😅 but I have a few different things open constantly depending what routine I'm doing. Dry, Red, Retinol nights etc... sooooo I'm still trying to find a healthy balance but I think I am in a ok place 😉

Interesting thoughts on the Oat balm @CynthieLu. You’re right about wearing it as a mask for a little bit since it has oat and could potentially calm down irritated skin. And I hear you about having too many things open. I’m trying really hard not to have too many things in the go too.

@JoSometimes Great job on these empties! 🙂 So sorry the Cleanly Clean version did not work out that well for you, I'll keep that in mind as well since the Original Farmacy Green Clean is a holy grail for me.

JoSometimes · ‎11-15-2023

@QueenMarceline Definitely check the label before you buy. I think Green Clean is still available State-side. Canadians no longer have it on the shelves…

QueenMarceline · ‎11-16-2023

@JoSometimes So sorry to hear that, do you know why they got rid of Green Clean in Canada? 😞

JoSometimes · ‎11-16-2023

@QueenMarceline I’m not entirely sure. It might have something to do with our stricter regulations when it comes to beauty products. Health Canada actually looks at the ingredients in some cosmetics.

@JoSometimes the Farmacy is such a good one. I just replaced mine with a Beauty of Joseon that I think is even better, if you ever get a chance to try it. I remember you mentioning that you wished the Tower 28 came in a jumbo size in Canada. Have you looked at the Briotech Topical Skin Spray on Amazon? It's a hypochlorous acid spray with only 3 ingredients. I've been using it post-workout on my body to avoid breakouts and it has seemed to work well so far.

JoSometimes · ‎11-15-2023

Thank you for the tips @makeitup305! I was a fan of Clean Green but Clearly Clean isn’t quite as good.

I’ve read good things about Beauty of Joseon in general. Right now I’m using COSRX Cica Cleanser and I’m liking it more than Clearly Clean.

@JoSometimes from BoJ I've tried a cleanser, a serum, a sunscreen, and the makeup remover. I've liked all of them. The serum was the least "wow" but it's always hard to tell when they're actually doing something as part of an already established routine. I would definitely repurchase the cleanser, the cleansing balm, and the sunscreen.
