Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter
This small amount of product is all you need for your entire face. In other words, one tin should last you a very long time. It smells very natural (not synthetic) and I do detect chamomile. Overall, it's a soft floral scent, and I would consider it mild-to-medium in strength.

So just like with the cleansing oil (and cleansing oils and balms in general), you apply to your dry face and massage into your skin. This is very easy to do since the product breaks down almost instantly once you start working it in, and it truly becomes a silky oil that is very easy to spread across the skin. Just like a cleansing oil, you can feel this butter break down your makeup, including mascara, right as you start work it into your skin (very minimal effort required).
I find that this product rinses more easily than I thought it would, considering that it's an oil-based product. However, I do find that there's a thin film that stays behind on the skin and, surprisingly, it's almost the same type of residue that I get with the Camomile Cleansing Oil. It's not so heavy that I feel super greasy after rinsing, but it's definitely not something I can leave on my face before applying my regular moisturiser.
I find that this product is quite effective at removing my face makeup (primer, foundation, powder, blush), but I'm not 100% happy with how it removes my mascara. I've tried this product with my most stubborn mascaras (I don't use waterproof mascaras but Benefit They're Real Mascara is probably the most stubborn of all my non-waterproof mascaras) and I had varying results. With certain mascara formulas that are on the thin side, I can remove every last trace with this butter. But with stubborn mascara. I can never seem to remove every last trace. No matter what I do, or how long I massage this butter into my eye area, there are always traces remaining under my lower lash line.

I love cleansers that remove everything, all in one shot, with no need for a secondary product. Sadly, this is not one of them for me. But if you are already accustomed to (or prefer) a two-step cleansing routine, then you may enjoy this product. I find that I'm always reaching for my micellar water or facial cleanser after I use this butter, since it does not always remove every last trace of my eye makeup. I have not experienced any irritation or foggy vision though so, moving forward, I can see myself using this as an eye makeup remover on days when I'm wearing a lot of makeup and need to break it down before I use my regular facial cleanser. But as a stand-alone facial cleanser, this was not a love-match for me.
