Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP™ Hydromelt Cleansing Balm (90 mL)

Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP™ Hydromelt Cleansing Balm (90 mL)

Product Overview

The Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP™ Hydromelt Cleansing Balm is a groundbreaking, non-comedogenic first-step cleanser engineered specifically for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. For years, those struggling with breakouts feared traditional cleansing balms due to pore-clogging waxes and heavy residues—this formula completely rewrites that narrative.

Powered by Aprilskin’s exclusive anti-acne active complex, Carrotene IPMP™, it pulls double duty by acting as a heavy-duty makeup remover and a deep pore-purifying treatment. It melts effortlessly into an ultra-silky oil upon contact with skin heat, physically capturing and dissolving stubborn waterproof makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, and oxidized oils before emulsifying into a clean, milky finish.

Key Benefits

• Clinically Proven Pore Purifying: Instantly eliminates up to 99.9% of pore waste, dirt, and daily micro-impurities right after a single wash.

• Erases Sebaceous Filaments & Blackheads: Targets the root causes of texture bumps around the nose, chin, and cheeks by loosening and gently floating away trapped oil plugs.

• Targets Active Acne & Inflammation: Clinically tested to reduce non-inflammatory acne (whiteheads/blackheads) by 49% and inflammatory acne blemishes by 44% within 4 weeks of consistent use.

• No “Blurry Eye” Drama: Formulated with highly stable, gentle emulsifiers that break down heavy eye makeup and waterproof mascara easily without stinging or leaving a stubborn, cloudy film over your vision.

Key Ingredients & How They Work

• Carrotene IPMP™: A proprietary compound that fuses Beta-Carotene (richly extracted from natural Carrot Roots) with IPMP (Isopropylo Methylphenol). Beta-Carotene regulates excess daytime sebum production and fades the dark marks left behind by old blemishes, while IPMP targets acne-causing bacteria deep inside the pore to calm active inflammation.

• 79% Coconut-Derived Base (Ethylhexyl Palmitate): A weightless, non-comedogenic emollient oil base that provides a satisfying glide. It effectively breaks down oil-soluble makeup and sunscreen pigments while keeping the skin barrier conditioned.

• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A potent antioxidant that acts as a soothing skin shield, neutralizing environmental free radicals and preventing skin dehydration post-wash.

• Purifying Botanical Blend (Orange Flower, Litsea Cubeba, & Grapefruit Peel Oils): Deliver subtle antimicrobial, pore-tightening benefits to keep the skin deeply refreshed.

Texture & Scent

• Consistency: A smooth, velvety, sorbet-like solid balm. It remains perfectly stable in its jar (TSA and travel-friendly) until it touches the dry warmth of your hands, where it instantly changes into a fluid, silky oil.

• Color: A vibrant, natural yellow-orange hue. Note: This is completely free of artificial colorants and gets its pretty color purely from the natural Beta-Carotene.

• Scent: An incredibly refreshing, zesty citrus fragrance derived naturally from grapefruit and orange flower oils.

How to Use (The Ultimate Double Cleanse Step 1)

1. The Dry Rule: Always start with dry hands and a dry face. Use the included built-in spatula to scoop a dime-sized amount of the yellow sorbet balm.

2. Massage: Spread the balm across your face and gently massage in circular motions for about 1 minute. Watch it instantly change from a solid to a silky oil as it breaks down heavy foundation, lip tints, and eye makeup. Spend an extra 20 seconds gently rolling it over high-sebum areas like the nose to clear out sebaceous filaments.

3. Emulsify: Splash a small amount of lukewarm water onto your face. Continue massaging for another 20 seconds as the oil instantly emulsifies into a light, milky wash.

4. Rinse: Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. While it washes away completely clean without leaving a heavy or dry film, it is highly recommended to follow up immediately with a water-based foam cleanser to complete a thorough double cleanse.
