Worth knowing
A closer look at your skin, your routine and what goes into the formula.
Meltdown Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser is a soft blue gel that lightly lathers to lift away excess oil, sunscreen, light makeup and daily buildup. It is made for blemish-prone, combination and oily skin that needs a thorough cleanse without the squeaky, stripped feeling.
Salicylic acid gently exfoliates to help keep pores looking clear, while three ceramides, cholesterol, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help maintain hydration. Green tea, licorice root, rice extract and black cumin seed oil help visibly calm redness.
Its natural scent comes from botanical oils such as lemon peel, fennel, frankincense and blue tansy, so it is not fragrance-free. Use it morning and evening, or as the second step of a double cleanse.
A cleanser should remove what the skin no longer needs, without taking everything else with it. This one gives congested skin a deeper cleanse, but leaves it feeling fresh rather than tight. There is no need to scrub: a slow massage with your fingertips does the work.
Oily, congested, blemish-prone skin
Give it a full minute along the nose, chin and hairline, where sunscreen and oil collect. Your fingertips are enough, no scrubbing needed.

Yes. It is made for blemish-prone and sensitive skin, with salicylic acid to cleanse pores and ceramides to keep skin comfortable.
No fragrance is added, but botanical oils such as lemon peel, fennel, frankincense and blue tansy give it a natural scent. Patch test if your skin is reactive.
Yes, morning and evening. Dry or very sensitive skin may prefer once a day, or alternating with a non-exfoliating cleanser.
It removes light makeup and sunscreen. For heavier or waterproof makeup, use it as the second step of a double cleanse.
Yes, but both can be drying. On retinol evenings, sensitive skin may do better with a gentler cleanser such as Daydreamer.

Blume Meltdown Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser is a refreshing daily face wash created for acne-prone, breakout-prone and sensitive skin.
The soft gel formula lightly lathers to remove makeup, excess oil, sunscreen and daily impurities while respecting the skin’s natural moisture balance. Salicylic acid provides gentle exfoliation to help keep pores feeling clean, while three ceramides, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.
Green tea, licorice root, fermented rice extract, black cumin seed oil and blue tansy help comfort the appearance of redness and leave the complexion feeling fresh—not tight, squeaky or depleted.
Use it as your morning cleanse, your evening face wash or as the second step of a double cleanse when removing heavier makeup and sunscreen.
Dispense a generous amount into clean, damp hands.
Massage the cleanser over the damp face and neck using gentle circular movements. Add warm water and continue massaging until the formula creates a light lather.
Rinse thoroughly and gently pat the skin dry.
Use morning and evening or as needed. Follow with toner, serum, moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
A cleanser should remove what the skin no longer needs without taking everything else with it.
We recommend Meltdown Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser for acne-prone skin that needs a more thorough cleanse but does not respond well to harsh, aggressively foaming formulas. The combination of salicylic acid and skin-barrier-supportive ingredients makes it especially helpful when congestion exists alongside dehydration or sensitivity.
Massage it into the skin for approximately 30 to 60 seconds, paying particular attention to areas where sunscreen, oil and buildup tend to collect. There is no need to scrub—the cleanser and your fingertips are perfectly capable of doing their jobs without turning cleansing into a contact sport.
For heavier makeup, water-resistant sunscreen or long-wear complexion products, begin with an appropriate first cleanser and use Meltdown Gel Cleanser as the second step.
Because the formula contains salicylic acid and aromatic botanical oils, highly reactive skin should begin with once-daily or alternating-day use. Reduce frequency if the skin becomes persistently dry, tight or uncomfortable.

Yes, but layering several exfoliating products every day may overwhelm the skin.

The formula contains blue tansy flower oil, chlorophyllin-copper complex, spirulina extract and Blue 1.
