When I first got into skincare, I honestly skipped double cleansing. It just felt like an extra step I didn’t need. But then I noticed that my makeup and sunscreen wasn’t coming off completely—and I’d end up scrubbing my face way more than I should. That’s when I decided to finally give double cleansing a try, and it completely changed my skin.

Since then, I’ve tested quite a few cleansing oils and balms, but the one I keep coming back to is the WYLYS Phyto Green Cleansing Balm. Here’s why it stands out:

First Impressions

Let’s start with the packaging—it’s chic and minimal, the kind of product you’d want to keep out on your counter. It’s also super travel-friendly, with no need to worry about spills. The balm itself is this soft, pale green color with a silky, buttery texture. It feels luxe from the first scoop.

The scent is subtle—not overpowering at all. As someone with sensitive skin, I usually avoid products with fragrance, but this one is surprisingly gentle. It has a fresh, herbal aroma that’s light and calming, making it the perfect addition to my nighttime routine. It just adds that extra bit of relaxation at the end of the day.

The Texture Change is Everything

This is what makes me reach for this cleanser night after night. You apply it to dry skin, and it instantly melts into a smooth oil as you massage it in. No more tugging as it glides across the skin, effortlessly dissolving everything—foundation, sunscreen, mascara, even matte lipstick.

Then, once you add a little water, it transforms again into a milky emulsion that rinses off super easily. No greasy film, no weird tightness—just clean, soft, happy skin.

What I Love Most

What really sets this apart is how nourishing it feels. So many cleansers do the job but leave your skin parched. This one doesn’t. Even after rinsing, my skin feels calm, hydrated, and balanced. No redness, no irritation. Just a fresh, dewy glow.

And for someone with sensitive skin, that’s a big deal.

It’s packed with plant-based oils and botanical extracts, and you can tell. It’s gentle enough to use every day but still powerful enough to get everything off.

Final Thoughts

If your skin’s been feeling dull, dry, or struggling with clogged pores, this might be the little reset it needs. The WYLYS Phyto Green Cleansing Balm is more than just a cleanser—it’s a mini ritual. One that feels indulgent but still simple enough for busy nights.

So yes, I’m fully converted. The balm-to-oil-to-milk cleanse is here to stay.

And honestly? My skin’s never been happier.
