LEIGH CAMPBELL: 'The cleansing balm that replaced my all-time fave.'

If you're a gal who loves spending some time at her basin with a cleansing balm in her hand/on her face, then this one's for you!

Because on a recent episode of You Beauty podcast (if you're not already a listener, get it in your ears! Immediately!), our resident beauty expert Leigh Campbell told co-host Kelly McCarren all about a new cleansing formula she's been using — and apparently it's so good it's replaced her all-time favourite cleanser.

And look, we all know Leigh Campbell's favourite beauty products are usually the best beauty products so…

Watch: Speaking of beauty, here's You Beauty co-host Em Vernem trialling the boyfriend blush trend. Post continues below.


As Leigh shared, "A few months ago, I opened the Kora Organics Active Algae Calming Cleansing Balm. Now, I honestly didn't think I'd love it — I haven't tried anything from Kora for quite a while, so I wanted to give it a go. And now I think it's my favourite cleansing balm!"

"I like it more than the Elemis Cleansing Balm. It's even better than the Eve Lom Cleanser, for me."

*Gasps*

If you're a regular Youbie, you'll not only know Elemis is a cult cleansing balm that every beauty girl and her mum like — but it also happens to be Leigh's all-time fave.

So, yes, it's a big call!

"You can get the new Kora Organics Active Algae Calming Cleansing Balm at Myer. You can try a small pot for $32 for 30ml, which is perfect for travel. Or you can get the 100ml size for $62."

"The formula itself is kind of like a light green colour, but you can't really see it when you put on your face. You just use the little spatula that comes with it, and massage it into your skin. It's beautiful and a product I look forward to using. I usually don't look forward to any skincare steps!"

The best part? It sounds like a good time for all skin types.

"As someone who has combo skin — I'm dry but I'm oily — it just does everything I need. There's micro-algae and pineapple enzymes that smooth, and jojoba oil and squalene that breakdown impurities."

It's described on the Adore Beauty website as being a "buttery, soothing balm" that transforms into a milky texture and effectively "removes stubborn makeup, dirt, and oil while being gentle on your skin".

"It's just so good, and it's made me think… 'What have I been missing from Kora for the last little while?'"

"It's my favourite kind of cleansing balm. And I'm nearly all out… So if anyone wants to buy me a present for Christmas, get me that!"

Um, can we add it to our wishlist too?!
