Neuropeptide The Cleansing Balm

What it is

This cleansing balm is formulated as a first-cleanse step for makeup removal and daily skin cleansing. Perricone MD positions it as a balm that supports a comfortable cleanse while bringing in conditioning oils and peptide support.

Key ingredients

• Rice bran oil: A nourishing oil included for a smooth, emollient cleanse.
• Flaxseed oil: Helps support a richer, balm-like texture and a conditioning feel.
• Shea butter: Adds cushion and emollience to the cleansing balm base.
• Acetyl hexapeptide-8: A peptide included in the formula as a skin-conditioning ingredient.

How to use

Use the balm as the first step in a cleansing routine to dissolve makeup and daily residue before a water-based cleanse. The manufacturer presents it as a balm-to-emollient cleanser for soft, comfortable cleansing.

Who should be careful

The ingredient list includes fragrance/parfum, limonene, and linalool, so fragrance-sensitive users may want to patch test before regular use. This is general ingredient information, not medical advice.

What the brand claims

Perricone MD says the balm is designed to melt away makeup and leave skin feeling clean, comfortable, and supported without a harsh stripping feel. The brand highlights rice bran and flaxseed oils alongside peptide technology in the formula.
