Back when I did community theater, this was the #1 go-to product to take off stage makeup. Even heavy eye makeup. I used Kleenex tissues to wipe it off. Worked like a dream. Since I have oily skin, I always followed it by washing with a cleanser and using witch hazel toner. As always, thank you so much for your timely, real deal info posts. PS, Your make up and new haircut look terrific. 🥰👍🏻

I was introduced to Albolene back in the 70s from an elderly patient who used it to remove her makeup and moisturize. It’s too dense and occlusive for my oily, sunscreen wearing skin. I look forward to trying their new milky micellar cleaner to remove makeup in my first cleansing step. Thank you for your reviews, education, and videos. 😊

Thank you for this video. I always appreciate your honest opinions. I remember my grandmother using Albolene in the 70’s so I was thrilled to find the full size tubs at Dollar Tree. But sadly I don’t love it. It’s much too difficult to remove. Now I know why. Glad I didn’t pay full price for it.

Folks, don't WASH off the Albolene cleanser (the original one) . . .spread plenty of it all around yer face, then take a warm damp washcloth and WIPE it off. Then either use a lathering cleanser OR what I do, use a miceller water on a cotton pad or on a dry part of your wash cloth, and VOILA! Skin clean, not dried out, done.

I bought Albolene, which I had not previously ever heard of, on your recommendation. At first, I was "ewwwwww" and I wasn't sure it did much better at removing eye make-up than my Clinique or other fancy brands. But then I got into it. I wash it off with CeraVie cleanser, rinse like mad and then add Retin-A. Love it.

Yeah, same. We need more easily accessible emulsifying balm cleansers that are affordable and fragrance-free. I can't stand having to wipe the product off my face afterward, which just adds another step before the second cleanse.

I’ve used topical tretinoin for years and the new hydrating cleanser (the pump one) is my new go to morning cleanser! It’s also great in the evening as a second step for someone who doesn’t wear heavy cosmetics; I start with a palm full of Neutrogena Body Oil, then follow with this. Clean and refreshed without any dryness!

I have all 3 new products. I have grown tired of their cleansing balm because there's no emulsifiers. It makes it hard to handle other products because my hands are slippery. So when I use it, I have to use soap to wash my hands and my faucet handles before I use another cleanser to get it off. It's a pain in the a**. Now the hydrating cleanser came next. I absolutely love it. It's better than Avene's extremely gentle face cleanser and cheaper. Now let's get to the exciting part. The hydrating micellar milk cleanser. Holy s***. I absolutely love it. A creamy first cleanse that melts off my sunscreen. The formula is ALMOST perfect for my skin. Now if you use the hada labo cleansing oil then the hydrating daily cleanser it's an absolutely perfect pair! But, I'm torn because I love the cleansing oil and the micellar milk cleanser by Albolene. 💙

I wear make-up everyday as a teacher. I have always used full coverage. I used Ponds cold cream for years.. When I added double cleansing to my line-up, I started with an oil--too messy for me. I switched to Abolene and loved it, but have since moved on to the ELF balm.(I like change..lol) I like balms, but I think when finished, I'll just use Micellar water--(the Garnier really works for me) and LaRoshe Posay hydrating cleanser ( my absolutely fave). Love Dr. Dray

I love the original Albolene, it dissolves all the makeup and sunscreen and doesn’t feel dry afterwards, I just remove it with makeup remover sponge and continue with my water base face wash and feel my skin clean and moist. I love this stuff! Thank you Dr Dray!😊

@Jessica M....that is my go-to as well! Albolene is great for removing make-up and that jar last forever! I probably only buy it once a year - if that. I also love Vanicream that I started using based on a Dr. Dray's recommendation and luv it.

I think if you follow the instructions to wipe off w a cloth you’d enjoy the cleansing balm better. You can absolutely be very grossed out if you try to remove w water.

Thank you for this review I thought for sure the new balm would have emulsifiers in it, I'm glad I waited for the review!

I tried the older version,It sucks because it doesn’t melt or remove makeup it just stays stiff on my face. I have tug at my face and lashes and it just doesn’t budge. My makeup is just a smeared mess. The new formula in the jar melts EVERYTHING off my face. It becomes almost like a thin watery oil. Its softer and dissolves immediately. No rubbing involved no irritation. It removes waterproof mascara with NO tugging. It’s so much better than their original. It’s way better than my Clinique Take the Day Off. It’s better than any micellar water. I threw out All my micellar waters. I’ve tried them all. None removed all my makeup they just smeared everything around. I use the new Albolene and remove it with a cloth or baby wipe. It leaves my skin baby soft. This is a crazy miracle worker and it’s inexpensive. I’m shook. I wear a full face of makeup sometimes just tinted moisturizer. Crazy impressive

You're glowing & your hair looks amazing in this video, Doc ♥️ Thank you for your insights 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I LOVE the micellar cleanser for my first step of a double cleanse. I just couldn't make the original work, honestly didn't like any cleansing balms, but I needed something to take off my sunscreen because I will get clogged pores otherwise. Then I found this stuff. Love it.

Never seen anyone review Albolene. Friend's mother swore by it, so I bought it several years ago. Took forever to clean it off. Might try the new micellar milk cleanser.

Gunks up everything but I love it, the original formula. I wear makeup most daily, use this then follow up with vani cream face wash , and it feels super moisturizing without fragrance

Great news about Abolene. An old family favorite. Love your sweater!

I like original Albolene. It works if you only use a tiny dot, let your skin warm it, then wash it off with warm water and a regular facewash. I used to wipe it off with a tissue, then cleanse, but even that little bit of rubbing would hurt. The micellar milk looks good.

I tried the original and had to use a warm wash cloth and really rub to get it off-even with the double cleanse. Despite its moisturizing benefit, it made my skin feel scaly. Clinique Take the Day Off makes me scaly too. I use regular old unscented Ponds Cold Cream and a warm wash cloth then Vani cream wash for the second cleanse. Even though the cold cream is also mineral oil based, like the albolene, it leaves no residue and my face is SO SOFT afterwards.

I adore the original formulation without emulsifiers. One part I really hate about using balms or oily cleansers is that hideous film that forms when they get wet, and if they get into your eyes they can be super bothersome. With this product I am able to wash my eyes without going blind. I simply use a damp soft reusable cotton round to remove all the product throughly, then follow with a foamy wash!

I like the original Albolene BUT it seems to make my sebaceous hyperplasia worse. It this my imagination? It's great for removing sunscreen though!

"Balm" is just a trendy word now. I just purchased the original and so far I like it:)

I have been using this now for 3 yrs the original and I apply a good amount to remove my make up with a warm makeup remover cloth and repeat. I use a kelp srub ones a week to exfoliate and my skin looks better than ever I will stick to the original this and Bondi sands sunscreen are my holy grails

Another great review thank you Dr Dray 😊 My skin is very sensitive, I have a few beloved favorites that keep my skin healthy and happy ♥ The Neutrogena Ultra gentle fragrance free creamy cleanser, is also gentle enough to remove my eye makeup without any irritation. The Hydro Boost Hydrating cleansing gel (fragrance free) is very soothing too. I also double cleanse with the Marcelle Micellar Water , then I use either the Gentle creamy cleanser, or the Hydrating cleansing gel, my skin is so soft afterwards. Take care everyone

I have just purchased this to try. As a woman in her mid 40's my skin has definitely started to dry out, but I am still acne prone. I must admit, I have used this on my hands to "wash them" during these frigid cold months, and my hands look better and more plump. To remove from face, get some woven 4x4 gauze and it comes off dreamily. Sometimes a wash cloth or cheap cotton pads or kleenex are too rough.

I use a tiny dot of Albolene before my shower and I still struggle to get it all off of my face. It's almost annoying how long a container lasts 😂

I have always like the moisturizing cleanser as my first cleanse ever since I heard about it from you. And I have oily, sensitive skin. Lasts forever and very economical. I appreciate your review on the new one. I'll stick with the original. I use Cerave foaming cleanser as my second cleanse and I don't find that the Albolene leaves a residue but my skin feels so soft. Thanks for the reviews on the other products too. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a tranquil evening. 💕

I love the original!! I do wipe it off with a warm rag first before using a cleanser. Im excited to try the milk though. My skin is very sensitive and prone to eczema flares from products so im glad this is gentle.

My mom used this exclusively and she had gorgeous skin when she passed at 92.

Looked at yesterday! Decided I'd better wait for Dr. Dray.

If you have a mind to delve into another brand to review, I'd love to know more about Zeroid brand and their different lines of products. I've never uses a moisturizer that made my skin look better than the RICHENIC CREAM they have. Should I be trying some of their other products?

I got the new Albolene, and my skin seems to enjoy it. As long as my skin does not get irritated, I am going to continue using it. The sunscreen I am using is a water-resistant mineral sunscreen, and it is quite hard to remove it, so this is helping.
