Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm 90ml

The Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm is a thoughtfully formulated first-cleanse step that brings together makeup-melting power with active acne-targeting benefits. Its silky sherbet texture instantly transforms into a buttery oil on contact with skin, effortlessly breaking down sunscreen, foundation, mascara, and stubborn impurities. When emulsified with water, it turns into a milky cleansing emulsion that rinses away cleanly without leaving any greasy residue or that uncomfortable tight feeling.

What makes the Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm a true standout is its dual-action formula. Real carrot extract delivers brightening beta-carotene and antioxidants, while IPMP — a clinically backed acne-fighting ingredient — works to target and prevent breakouts during the cleansing step itself. The result is clean, calm, clear skin without the irritation typical of acne-focused cleansers. Pair it with the Aprilskin Real Carotene Acne Foam Cleanser for a complete double-cleanse acne-fighting routine.

Key Ingredients

Here’s what powers the Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm:

Carrot Root Extract (Beta-Carotene) The hero brightening ingredient, naturally rich in beta-carotene, vitamin A, and antioxidants. Carrot extract helps fade dullness, supports a healthier-looking complexion, and provides defense against environmental damage during the cleansing step.

IPMP (Isopropyl Methylphenol) A clinically supported acne-targeting ingredient that helps prevent and reduce breakouts. IPMP works to keep pores clear and balance the skin during the cleansing process, making this balm ideal for acne-prone skin types.

Squalane A plant-derived moisturizer that mimics the skin’s natural oils, helping dissolve makeup and impurities while keeping the skin barrier comfortable and hydrated.

Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica) Known for its calming and skin-soothing properties, centella helps reduce visible redness and supports skin recovery — especially helpful for breakout-prone skin during cleansing.

Sunflower Seed Oil A lightweight, vitamin E-rich oil that helps cleanse the skin gently while reinforcing the moisture barrier and preventing post-cleanse tightness.

Jojoba Seed Oil A skin-mimicking oil that effectively dissolves sebum, sunscreen, and makeup without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) A multitasking brightening ingredient that supports an even skin tone, minimizes the look of pores, and strengthens the skin barrier.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) A powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental stress and complements the brightening benefits of carrot extract.

Best For

• ✅ Acne-Prone Skin — IPMP targeted action
• ✅ Oily Skin — non-greasy sherbet texture
• ✅ Combination Skin — balanced cleansing
• ✅ Dull Skin — brightening carrot extract
• ✅ Daily Makeup Wearers — effortless removal
• ✅ SPF Users — dissolves all sunscreens

Targets These Concerns:

• Active acne and breakouts
• Stubborn makeup and waterproof products
• Sunscreen residue and pore congestion
• Excess sebum and shine
• Dull, uneven skin tone
• Daily impurities and pollution

Not Recommended For:

• ⚠️ Severely dry or compromised skin barrier — pair with a rich moisturizer post-cleanse.
• ⚠️ Anyone with a known sensitivity to IPMP, carrot extract, or any listed ingredient — patch test first.
• ⚠️ Avoid getting directly into the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly.

How to Use

1. Apply to Dry Skin — Take about a coin-sized amount of the balm onto dry hands and apply to dry face.
2. Massage Gently — Spread across the face in soft circular motions for 30-60 seconds to dissolve makeup and impurities.
3. Add Water to Emulsify — Wet your fingertips and continue to massage — the balm will transform into a milky white emulsion.
4. Rinse Thoroughly — Wash off completely with lukewarm water, then follow with a water-based second cleanser for best results.

Use: PM (or AM as needed)

Where in routine: As the first cleansing step in a double cleanse routine

Pro Tip: For maximum acne-fighting benefits, take an extra 30-60 seconds during the massage step on areas with active breakouts — this gives the IPMP more contact time to work. Always follow up with a water-based cleanser like a foam wash for the most thorough double cleanse, especially if you wear heavy SPF or makeup. The Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm pairs beautifully with the brand’s matching foam cleanser.
