Review 1 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Love Omorovicza!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
I purchased the entire Omorovicza skincare line along with a Clarisonic and have been using them together for a month.
I can definitely tell a difference in my 49-year old skin. I haven't had a single breakout in all that time and my skin literally glows! The price tag is not for the feint of heart but as a skin NUT, I truly believe it's worth the investment. Each product smells heavenly without overpowering and they do what they promise.

Review 2 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Feels great going on
-04.07.13
This stuff feels so amazing when you're rubbing it on your face. You just put a small amount on your fingers and rub in circular motions. It is very oily so it feels very silky. I can't believe I tried something this expensive, but it just sounded so wonderful. I probably will be returning it though since I just can't justify paying this much for just a cleanser. I think I thought I was buying something a bit more exfoliating.

Review 3 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
well worth the money
-02.11.13
This is by far the best face wash I have ever used. I initially received a sample or I would have never paid the price to try it. I will never use any other face wash again.

Review 4 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Dry sensitive skin miracle
-02.04.13
Lord only knows I did not want to pay the price for this , but with that said I can't be without this cleanser now. I have horrible Rosecea, dry, sensitive, flakey red skin. I have tried everything and this is the one product that calmed my skin, cleared it up, and made it baby soft. A little goes a long way, and feels incredible paired with a warn gentle cloth. Use at night and you will wake up with smooth calmed skin. No Parabens or nasty stuff either.

Review 5 for Thermal Cleansing Balm

PERFECT Cleanser for Dry, Sensitive Skin
-02.02.13
I cannot rave about this Cleansing Balm enough! It's very simple to use once you get the process down: 1) Scoop out a tiny bit (I use about 1/4 tsp) and rub it lightly between your fingertips until it melts into a kind of very light oil, 2) Evenly and thoroughly rub it all over your face, neck, and throat, 3) Wipe it away with a warm washcloth or Omorovicza's handy washable mitt.
You must use a cloth of some kind to remove the cleanser -- just rinsing it away will not work, which is fine for me since it reminds me to do a bit of extra exfoliation every day. The smell is light and pleasant, and the texture is soft and hydrating. You can just tell that it's working as it's cleansing your skin. I also wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner every day, and this balm has no troubles at all dissolving makeup away.
My skin hasn't been irritated by this balm, and I imagine it would work just as well for those who have a different skin type than I do -- oily, combination, or normal. Overall, yes, it is expensive, but I find that it is worth it for sheer effectiveness in cleansing, the good experience all around while using it, and the lack of unfortunate ingredients in the list. Highly recommended!

Review 7 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Not Convinced
-11.17.12
Despite the price, I thought I would give this cleansing balm a go. While it was ok, I did not notice a any difference between the normal cleansing balm I use (that is half the price for about 3x the amount), and this ultra-luxuray brand - and in fact prefer my regular brand.
This balm does go on easily, only a tiny amount is needed, and while I do believe it works at cleansing and moisturizing, I still prefer my other cleansing balm, which cleanses fabulously but still leaves your skin hydrated (Bobbi Brown Extra Rinse Balm if you're interested). This is a good product, but comparable products can be found for much better value.

Review 8 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Expensive but worth it
-11.08.12
It was tough to spend so much on a face wash, but once I received the product and starting using it nightly I saw that the price tag was worth it. My skin is a lot softer and stubborn black heads easier to remove. Love the smell and texture.

Review 9 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Really like
-11.07.12
Quick Take: foamy, milky, exfoliating
This is an exfoliate face wash. It's hard solid oily little balm in the sample size I have. It is a solid cleasning balm. I use this twice and week. This will last me forever! I can't imagine how long a normal size would last!

Review 10 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
just too expensive
-11.04.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, warms slightly
got a sample of this and it is a good product, smells nice, cleans well and leaves skin soft. but the price is just tooooo much. for that price, the jar should be twice the size. still, it is nice and feels good going being massaged on the face. has to be taken off with warm washcloth, does not rinse with spashes. only gave it 3 stars because of the price

Review 11 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
All-in-one cleansing balm!
-11.01.12
Quick Take: hydrating, softening, retexturizing
This product is an amazing all in one cleanser! It is important to use it on dry skin. The balm (once melted into an oil by your finger tips) slips off all your makeup including waterproof mascara and it helps rejuvenate and hydrate then skin. My skin feels very soft and not dry at all. I'm a contact lense wearer and it doesnt sting my eyes at all when I massage the balm over my lashes to remove mascara. A fellow user said that it left a film / oily texture on her skin. It is important that you use the Omorovicza mitt or a face cloth to remove the excess oil after rinsing your face. Removing it with water will do nothing but spread the left over balm on your skin.

Review 12 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Preps the skin for the moisturizer
-10.29.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, moisturizing
This is a great cleanser for those who have normal to dry skin, and even drier skin during the winter! It really locks in moisture and prepares the skin for toner, serum, night cream, etc.
For it to really work, rub it into you face... in a quick circular motion so that it heat activates. Once it's heat activated (hence the name "Thermal"), you will feel it absorbing into the skin. Then use a warm wash cloth to remove what feels like an oily top layer.
After application, you must use a warm wash cloth to remove the oily layer and residue off your face. Trust me this method works!
No other cleanser leaves my skin moisturized and smooth likes this.
An excellent product!

Review 13 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
-10.18.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, effective, smells great
My advice to most of the reviewers who disliked the product due to "residue" would be to re-read the "How to Use" section. When I use this product as directed (massaging in well, then removing with a damp facial cloth), I have clean, soft, happy skin.
I love the scent of this product, and it does a fantastic job of clearing away makeup and dead skin / impurities. It's also wonderful that only a tiny amount is needed per use, so I expect the jar to last.
I will note that it took consistent use for at least a week to see a noticeable difference in my skin, but I'm looking forward to continuing use, and hoping for continued improvement.

Awful
-10.13.12
I just don't get the positive reviews of this project. It leaves a thick residue on your skin after rinsing and it does not do a very good job of cleaning. I had to wipe my face off with a tissue to get the residue off and there was a lot of residual makeup on the tissue, as well.

Review 15 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
fantastic!
-09.30.12
Quick Take: exfoliating
I have used various high end cleaners and recently ran out of using the Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip cleanser which I liked but this is far superior!! It really takes off all my make-up and leaves my skin so smooth and I have noticed a difference in my skin as well. There is a slight warm tingling feeling when I rub it into my skin but it does not burn or get red. After I wash my face it does not feel sticky either and my face feels clean. It is best to use a wash cloth as they state though...I tried it without it and didn't feel like it did not do the job as well. I am really impressed w/this brand from the other items I have used. Definitely will repurchase.

Review 16 for Thermal Cleansing Balm

Age:over 54
Product didn't work for me
-09.09.12
Quick Take: disappointing
I regret that I had to return the product because it just didn't work on my sensitive skin. It left a greasy residue on my face and there was still a considerable amount of make-up left after cleansing. Unfortunately, this product didn't live up to the reviews I read.

Review 18 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
I never want to be without this!
-09.08.12
Quick Take: smooth creamy texture
I have tried so so many cleansers that say they remove make-up and are anti-aging but have always been disappointed. This product is amazing it works so well. It does remove every bit of make-up, including mascara with one wash. It cleans my face so well the pores on the sides of my nose have truly gotten a bit smaller. I like that your face does not feel stripped of oils when you use this. I will never buy any other product. I have found my little piece of the rainbow with this cleansing balm.

Review 19 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
My favorite skincare indulgence
-09.03.12
I love this product. I would use it every night if I could afford to. It does exactly what it says it does. Has a very light, pleasant scent. One word of warning however, it does have a certain "earthiness" to it, since it is made from natural materials, so if you're not into that sort of thing, I'd skip it.

Review 20 for Thermal Cleansing Balm
Fab Cleanser and more.
-08.19.12
Amazing texture, melts into skin and removes makeup without stripping skin of moisture. Using this cleansing balm and following with a warm wash cloth to remove it and all traces of make up, feels like a little luxury facial! Love it!
