House of Hur Midnight Soothing Cleansing Balm — 1.69 fl oz sherbet-to-oil cleanser for sensitive skin, hydrating & calming

House of Hur Midnight Soothing Cleansing Balm is a sherbet-to-oil cleansing balm that dissolves makeup and sunscreen while calming and hydrating sensitive skin.

This Korean-inspired cleansing balm transforms from a soft sherbet into a silky oil and then into a milky rinse, designed to remove makeup and impurities without stripping or irritating delicate skin. The formula pairs gentle surfactants with botanical extracts such as black rice, Mexican chia seed, and chestnut shell to soothe, retain moisture, and support skin elasticity. Packaged in a grinder-style jar to protect the product and reduce waste, it’s made for everyday removing of heavy makeup, sunscreen, and urban grime.

How does the sherbet-to-oil texture make cleansing gentler?

The balm begins as a cushiony sherbet so it glides with minimal friction, then melts into an oil that dissolves stubborn makeup and SPF. When water is added it emulsifies into a milky lotion that rinses clean, removing residue without leaving a greasy film or creating tightness.

• Low-friction sherbet minimizes tugging on skin.
• Oil phase lifts waterproof makeup and sunscreen effectively.
• Emulsifies to rinse away cleanly with water.
• Leaves skin feeling hydrated, not stripped.

What calming and hydrating ingredients are included?

The formula features plant-derived actives chosen for their soothing and moisture-supporting properties rather than harsh exfoliants or high-irritant actives. These botanicals help comfort reactive skin and assist in maintaining skin suppleness after cleansing.

• Black rice extract — antioxidant-rich for skin resilience.
• Mexican chia seed extract — helps retain surface moisture.
• Chestnut shell extract — supports elasticity and soothes.
• Gentle cleansing agents to lift dirt without over-drying.

How does the grinder packaging protect freshness and reduce waste?

The balm comes in a twist-dispense grinder that delivers a controlled portion with each use, preventing exposure of the bulk formula to air and contaminants. This system helps preserve texture and active potency while limiting product waste and improving hygiene.

• Dispenses the right amount per use to avoid over-application.
• Reduces repeated dipping, lowering contamination risk.
• Maintains the balm’s sherbet consistency over time.
• Minimizes leftover product stuck in jars or tubes.

How should I use it in my cleansing routine?

Use as the first step in a double-cleanse evening routine or as a single cleansing step when you prefer a gentle, hydrating wash. Apply to dry skin, massage to melt makeup and impurities, add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly and follow with your regular serum or moisturizer.

• Apply to dry face and neck, massaging until makeup dissolves.
• Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse fully.
• Follow with a water-based cleanser for double-cleansing if desired.
• Use morning or night as needed for gentle cleansing.

Who is this for: Midnight Soothing Cleansing Balm is intended for people with sensitive or combination skin who wear makeup or daily sunscreen and want an effective yet gentle removing step. It suits those seeking a hydrating, low-friction cleanser with soothing botanical extracts and hygienic packaging, plus anyone who prefers a packaging system that minimizes waste and keeps formula fresh.
