Assalamualaikum and helooo again!
So one of my new year's resolution is to make a blog post AT LEAST once a month and so far, I managed to do it (alah baru bulan 3 je pon hahah!). But let me tell you girl, I am so excited to be reviewing a whole bunch of skincare that I have been using as I finally have time to shoot the pictures. I am trying to be more creative and shoot better pictures as I think my skill is kinda rusty and this old lady need to keep updated with the trend!
Anyways,
I ran out of my cleansing balm and was contemplating whether to buy cleansing balm or cleansing oil. Cleansing balm has always been my favourite but I wanna write reviews on cleansing oil too, you know. But for now, I decided to stay with cleansing balm as it won't spill like cleansing oil so it's gonna be easier to carry for balik kampung and travel. Speaking of which, Ramadhan is here~ Who's excited? (ME!!!)
|| BEAUTY OF JOSEON RADIANCE CLEANSING BALM
Beauty of Joseon (BOJ) is trending like crazy on social media. I tried not to join the trend but after seing reviews on this product (AND the price as it was on sale hahah), I decided to hop on the trend in hope that it really suits my dry skin.
If you watch historical K-dramas, you must have heard of "Joseon", right? like, king of Joseon, etc. So, Joseon Dynasty is basically the earlier Korea (you can read on the history HERE), and BOJ got their inspiration from skincare used during that time. BOJ focuses on the traditional ingredients used including ginseng, Korean green plum and rice.
This balm highlights Rice + Grain Complex extract as the main ingredients and it is vegan, cruelty free, fragrance & essential oil-free too! I mean, this is perfect for dry, sensitive skin AND vegans, no wonder why people went crazy over it (their target market itself is already huge).
|| THE INGREDIENTS
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Synthetic Wax, PEG-10 Isostearate, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Seed Water, Avena Sativa (Oat) Meal Extract, Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-yuen Seed Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Water, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Glycerin, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin
|| PACKAGING
Okay I was so surprised when i open the jar as the color of the balm really looks like a clean plastic and I honestly thought it's another lid inside the jar. This innocent lady trynna remove it only to realize that it's the product and run to show it to her husband so that they can be amazed together 😂😂😂
 |
| Tell me that doesn't look like there's another lid inside! hahaha |
The cleansing balm comes with a flip cap instead of the normal twist-to-open cap, which makes it really easy to use. It also comes with a transparent lid inside and a spatula. Just remove the transparent lid and you're ready to go.

| remove the flap cap |
 |
| imma keep this one for travel purpose |
|| TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE
Texture: The texture is harder than my previous cleansing balms and it's pretty solid. But worry not, once you massage this to your skin, it will melt quite easily.
 |
| even the camera is confused whether there's any product on the spatula or not kekeke |
How to use:
1. Scoop the product with the spatula
2. Apply to DRY skin and massage gently
3. Rinse off with lukewarm water (air paip biasa je dah okay asalkan bukan air sejuk yaw)
4. Proceed with foam cleanser (totally recommended)
I have seen so many reviews saying that they did not double cleanse but as for me, I don't wanna take any risk- especially when their official website says to wash your face with foam cleanser afterwards. Also, this is an oil-based cleanser that helps you to remove makeup which can't be removed by normal gentle cleansers, I advise you to please end your cleansing step with cleansers (cleansing foam, cleansing bar, whatever facial cleanser you use) after using cleansing balm & cleansing oil.
|| MY REVIEW
I am going to keep the jar to store my hijab pins!!! There, I said it 😂😂😂
Pros:
🌾 Packaging! I love how easy it is to access the product
🌾 No fragrance, no essential oils. It smells like, wax a little but very subtle
🌾 Comes with spatula
🌾 Doesn't sting my eyes
🌾 Doesn't sting my skin and eyes
🌾 Easy to wash off
🌾 Since it doesn't melt too easy, it's best to carry during my travel
Cons:
🍙 It might not able to remove super thick makeup but the product already claim that it won't do so.
🍙 as much as I really wanna love this cleansing balm, it makes my skin a little dry afterwards
Where to Grab:
Price: RM 76.00 each (100ml)
🍧 Read: Purchase during sale, it's a lot cheaper especially with coupons on Lazada and Shopee. Open all the platforms available and compare!
🍧 This cleansing balm is okay but not the best I've laid my hands on.
Till then, thank you for stopping by!
Hani Shubie
