Shu Uemura ultime8 Sublime Tsubaki Cleansing Balm 100g

Meet Shu Uemura ultime8 Sublime Tsubaki Cleansing Balm — a velvety, nutritive balm that transforms into a lightweight cleansing oil on contact, delivering a deeply effective makeup removal while treating your skin to a nourishing cleanse. Built for daily use, this 100g jar harmonizes high-performance cleansing with skin-softening care, so your complexion feels refreshed, hydrated, and comfortable after every wash.

Why this cleansing balm stands apart

75% skincare ingredients power a gentler, more hydrating cleanse. Instead of stripping, the balm supports your skin’s natural barrier, leaving it balanced even after removing stubborn makeup. The star ingredient, precious Japanese Tsubaki oil, cushions and protects the skin, helping to soften texture and seal in moisture as you cleanse.

Makeup removal that truly works — without harshness

The balm is formulated to dissolve a wide range of makeup, including long-wear foundation, lipstick, and waterproof, smudge-proof eye products. The silky texture glides over skin, then melts into a cleansing oil to lift makeup and impurities effortlessly. It’s powerful enough to break down resistant formulas, yet gentle enough for everyday use on all skin types.

Care for all skin types

Designed for universal compatibility, this cleansing balm delivers a clean, luminous finish without the tight, dry feeling some cleansers can cause. The nourishing blend respects the skin’s barrier while removing daily grime, sunscreen, and makeup residue, so you wake up with fresh, comfortable skin.

How it works in your routine

• Apply to dry skin to melt the balm into a silky oil and begin dissolving makeup.
• Gently massage to lift long-wear products, waterproof eye makeup, and impurities.
• Rinse with lukewarm water to reveal a clean, hydrated complexion.
