I'm from Fig Cleansing Balm: Real Fig Extract in a Solid Cleansing Balm

I'm from is a Korean brand built on single-ingredient-focused formulations: real mugwort in their Mugwort Essence, real honey in their Honey Mask, real rice in their Rice Toner. The Fig Cleansing Balm continues this philosophy with real fig fruit extract as the hero. At $13 for 100ml, this is one of the best-priced solid cleansing balms in the Korean market.

Fig extract is not just marketing here: real fig contains natural fruit enzymes (ficin) that provide mild exfoliation alongside the traditional balm-style oil cleansing. The balm melts on contact with skin into an oil that emulsifies with water into a milky wash-off. The texture and cleansing performance compete with more expensive options like Banila Co Clean It Zero and Heimish All Clean Balm.

What It Does

Shea butter and plant oils dissolve makeup, sebum, and sunscreen at the surface. The fig fruit extract adds mild enzymatic exfoliation that helps remove dead skin cells during the cleanse. On emulsification (adding water), the balm transforms into a milky wash-off that rinses clean without residue. Suitable as the first step of a double cleanse.

Who It's For

• Daily SPF and makeup wearers: Primary cleansing step to dissolve products.
• Oily or combination skin: Oil cleanses are the best first step for sebum control.
• Dry skin that struggles with foam cleansers: Balm format doesn't strip.
• Budget buyers: $13 price point is aggressive for the category.
• Sensitive skin: Minimal fragrance and gentle formulation.

How to Use

FAQ

Will it remove waterproof makeup?

Yes. The balm dissolves waterproof mascara, liquid lipstick, and long-wear foundation. Give waterproof eye makeup extra time (60 seconds of gentle massage) for complete removal.

Does the fig enzyme actually work?

Ficin (fig enzyme) is a real proteolytic enzyme with research supporting mild surface exfoliation. At the concentration in a cleansing balm (rinse-off, brief contact time), the effect is subtle but real.

Is it good for acne-prone skin?

Yes, for most users. Double cleansing with a balm first is actually beneficial for acne-prone skin because it removes sebum and product buildup that water-based cleansers leave behind. Non-comedogenic formulation.

How does this compare to Banila Co Clean It Zero?

Banila Co uses acerola berry/vitamin C. I'm from Fig uses fig. Both are excellent balms at similar price points. Banila Co tends more luxurious in texture; I'm from is slightly lighter and more natural-feeling.

How long does 100ml last?

Once-daily use: 3 to 4 months. Twice-daily use (for double-cleanse users doing PM only): 4 to 6 months.
