My favorite is Banilla Co. Clean It Zero in the pink jar. I've used it for a few years. I either use that or Palmer's Cleansing Oil as my makeup removal pre-cleansing step. Both are excellent. The balm is a little easier for travel.

I used the Clinique balm in the past and liked it but I got tired of putting my hands in the jar to take out the product. It always got under my nails and is also unsanitary. I now use a makeup remover in a pump bottle. It's much easier and isn't messy.

I like the Seoul Cleansing Balm from HSN and use a little scoop to remove it from the container (I keep several of these handy and clean with alcohol). Love it for removing eye makeup that is supposed to last and does. Then I usually follow with a second cleanse. I also use Tatcha Camillia Oil cleanser. Just depends on which one I happen to pick up.

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup 3 in 1 Cleansing Balm is the best I've found, and so, the only one I use. I buy it on sale or on eBay.

. I think you could get a sample at Sephora.

@bronxgal1You have received some good recommendations so far. I also think Clinique's Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm is good, but the only one that has ever turned me completely into a balm cleanser girl is Elemis Cleansing Balm. It is fabulous. It leaves my skin feeling completely clean (including mascara and long-wear lipstick), yet soft and ready to receive the skincare treatment products. I generally only use it at night because I prefer the refresh of a mild exfoliating type cleanser (such as Tactcha's Rice Powder Cleanser).

It has to be mentioned that the Elemis balm is expensive ($66 for 3 ounces). I often get lucky and can get the product on sale (such as half-price during one of Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty events). I discovered it a couple of years ago from QVC with the purchase of a set of three one-ounce jars that was less than the price of one full-size 3-ounce jar elsewhere.

I alternate between two and love them both. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Paula's Choice because it is in a tube rather than a jar. However, they both remove make-up like a dream!

That's the balm that went rancid I've had others longer with no problems.
