APLB - Glutathione Niacinamide Cleansing Balm 80ml

APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Cleansing Balm is built on 68.6% Lipo Gluta Niac Oil — a fragrance-free balm that melts makeup and sunscreen without leaving skin tight.

Balm or oil — what’s the difference?

A balm is solid in the jar and melts on contact with skin; an oil is liquid from the start. Balms travel better and feel more cushioned; oils spread faster. The cleansing performance is comparable.

68.6% Lipo Gluta Niac Oil

The brand’s glutathione-niacinamide oil complex makes up the bulk of the formula rather than appearing near the end of the ingredient list.

Sunscreen comes off properly

Sunscreen is oil-soluble, which is why a foam cleanser alone leaves residue behind. That residue is one of the most common and least recognized causes of congestion.

Dry hands, dry face, then emulsify

Water stops the balm breaking down makeup, so start completely dry. Then add water and keep massaging until it turns milky — that’s when it becomes rinsable. Skipping this step is why people end up with an oily film.

Fragrance-free

A deliberate choice for sensitive skin, and one that matters in a product you massage over your whole face.

What a cleanser can do about pores

Pore size is largely genetic and doesn’t permanently change. What an oil massage genuinely does is loosen the sebum and buildup that make pores look more visible.

How to use

Scoop with the spatula and apply to completely dry skin with dry hands. Massage in circular motions to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Add a little water and keep massaging until the balm turns milky, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with a water-based cleanser.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still need a second cleanser?

Yes — oil first for makeup and sunscreen, then a water-based foam or gel. One step can’t do both jobs properly.

Why use the spatula?

Fingers introduce moisture and bacteria into an open jar, which shortens how long the product stays fresh.

Will it clog my pores?

Emulsify and rinse thoroughly and it shouldn’t. Leftover residue is what causes trouble, not the oil itself.

Balm or the cleansing oil?

Balm for travel and a cushioned feel; the cleansing oil for faster spreading. Same approach, different texture.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Fragrance-free and mild by design. Patch test if your skin reacts easily.
