A new cleansing balm at the chemist: what should you check?

Dermal Therapy's After-Hours balm adds a pharmacy option for removing makeup and sunscreen. The ingredients sound like a serum, but the product is rinsed away.

Dermal Therapy's 100g After-Hours Cleansing Balm is now listed at a major Australian pharmacy chain, with the maker also linking Australian shoppers to Amazon. It melts from balm to oil; the brand says it removes makeup and sunscreen. We have not tested that performance.

Why this is useful

A balm gives people who wear long-wear makeup or daily sunscreen another first-cleanse format at a familiar pharmacy. It sits beside bottled cleansing oils and micellar water, which suit different preferences for texture, rinsing and use around the eyes.

What the label cannot tell you

The ingredient list includes ceramides, hyaluronic acid, collagen, peptides and fragrance. Those ingredients are present, but this is a rinse-off cleanser. A label that sounds like a leave-on treatment does not establish an overnight skin result.

If you avoid fragrance, read the current ingredient list before purchasing. Compare pack size and delivered cost, since promotional prices and stock change by retailer.
