Blume Meltdown Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser

A deeper cleanse without the tight, stripped feeling

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.

How to Use

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.

Loshen & Crem Recommendation

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.

Ingredients

• Salicylic Acid: An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate within the pores, remove accumulated debris and improve the appearance of congestion and blemish-prone skin.
• Ceramides: Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP and Ceramide EOP help replenish important skin-identical lipids and support the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
• Glycerin: A humectant that attracts water to the skin, helping the complexion remain hydrated and comfortable throughout cleansing.
• Green Tea Leaf Extract: An antioxidant-rich botanical extract that helps soothe the appearance of redness and support skin exposed to environmental stress.
• Licorice Root Extract: Helps comfort visible redness while supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
• Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of hyaluronic acid that attracts and retains moisture, helping prevent the skin from feeling dry or tight after cleansing.
• Fermented Rice Extract: Helps soften and condition the skin while supporting a smooth, luminous-looking complexion.
• Black Cumin Seed Oil: A botanical oil commonly used to support visibly calm, balanced and blemish-prone skin.
• Blue Tansy Flower Oil: An aromatic botanical oil that helps comfort the appearance of visibly irritated skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Meltdown Gel Cleanser suitable for acne-prone skin?

Yes. It is formulated specifically with acne-prone and sensitive skin in mind.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate and remove buildup within the pores, while ceramides, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help maintain hydration and skin-barrier comfort.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Blume recommends the cleanser for sensitive skin, but individual sensitivities vary.

The formula contains salicylic acid, citrus peel oil and several aromatic botanical oils. Highly reactive skin should patch test before use and begin slowly.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. Blume recommends using it twice daily or as needed.

Those with dry, highly sensitive or newly exfoliated skin may prefer using it once daily or alternating it with a non-exfoliating cleanser.

Does it contain salicylic acid?

Yes. The cleanser contains salicylic acid to provide gentle exfoliation and help improve the appearance of clogged pores and blemish-prone skin.

Blume does not specify the percentage of salicylic acid in the formula.

Will it dry out my skin?

The cleanser is formulated to cleanse without leaving the skin feeling stripped. It contains glycerin, ceramides and sodium hyaluronate to support moisture retention.

Any cleanser may feel drying if it is used too frequently or combined with too many exfoliating treatments. Adjust your routine according to how your skin responds.

Does it remove makeup?

It can remove light makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup.

For heavier, waterproof or long-wear makeup, use an appropriate first cleanser before following with Meltdown Gel Cleanser.

Can I use it as part of a double cleanse?

Yes. Apply an oil, balm or another makeup-removing cleanser first, then use Meltdown Gel Cleanser as the second step.

Blume also suggests that the cleanser itself may be used twice when additional cleansing is needed, provided the skin remains comfortable.

Can oily skin use it?

Yes. The gel texture and salicylic acid make it an approachable choice for oily and combination skin.

Oily skin can still become dehydrated, so follow cleansing with a lightweight moisturizer.

Can dry skin use it?

Dry skin may use the cleanser, but the frequency should be adjusted according to comfort.

Begin once daily or several times per week and follow with a hydrating toner, serum and moisturizer.

Can teenagers use it?

Yes. It may fit into a simple teenage skincare routine for skin experiencing excess oil, congestion or blemishes.

A gentle cleanser, moisturizer and daily sunscreen should remain the foundation. Avoid introducing several exfoliating acne products at the same time.

Can I use it with Milky Fade Serum?

Yes. Apply Milky Fade after cleansing and toning, then follow with moisturizer.

Complete the morning routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect visible post-acne marks.

Can I use it with Meltdown Acne Oil?

Yes. Cleanse first, complete the hydrating steps of your routine and apply Meltdown Acne Oil directly to individual blemishes as the final targeted step.

Can I use it with retinol?

It may be used within a retinol routine, but both salicylic acid and retinoids can contribute to dryness or irritation.

Sensitive skin may prefer a non-exfoliating cleanser on retinol evenings or use the two products on alternating days.

Can I use it with other exfoliating acids?

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

Monitor for persistent tightness, flaking, stinging or redness and reduce the frequency of active ingredients when needed.

Can it be used around the eyes?

Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Remove eye makeup with a product intended for the delicate eye area and rinse thoroughly if the cleanser enters the eyes.

Does it contain fragrance?

The formula contains no added fragrance. It has a natural aroma from its blend of botanical oils, including blue tansy, lemon, fennel, frankincense and black cumin seed oils.

What is the blue colour from?

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