I was lucky enough to be picked for the StyleKorean Try Me, Review Me for the Heimish All Clean skincare set. The products mentioned in this review were gifted in exchange for my honest opinion.
The set contains the All Clean Balm, All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner, All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Essence, and All Clean Blemish Cream.
About Heimish and the All Clean Skincare Range
Heimish is a cruelty-free skincare brand, and the All Clean skincare products are certified vegan.
The products are suited to all skin types, with the gentle formulas and plant-based ingredients making them suitable for sensitive skin.
Heimish All Clean Balm
The Heimish All Clean Balm is a cleansing balm that turns into an oil cleanser when water is added. It contains shea butter, citrus herb oils, fruits and white flower extracts. The balm brightens and nourishes skin.
Heimish All Clean Balm Ingredients
The key ingredients of this balm include:
- Shea butter – moisturises skin and provides elasticity
- Citrus herb oil – soothes and eases stress
- Coconut extract – softens and conditions skin
- White flower complex – improves skin balance and skin tone
The balm contains a lot of essential oils, like lavender oil, orange oil, grapefruit oil and bergamot oil amongst others. As a product that is often targeted at those with sensitive skin, I was surprised by the amount of essential oils in the ingredients list, as these can be irritating.
Packaging and Application
The balm comes in a plastic tub, which has a lift up lid and then a further plastic hygienic seal. Between the seal and the lid sits a plastic scoop applicator that can be used to remove some of the balm without touching it directly with your hands.
The product applies to the face as a balm, it turns to an oil as you massage it into your skin, and then when you add water, it takes on a milky consistency.
My Experience with the Heimish All Clean Balm
As a makeup remover, it did a fairly decent job at breaking down mascara and foundation to clean the face. It leaves my skin quite soft and feeling ‘normal’ – not oily or dry – and ready for the next skincare steps.
I find that it is best to only use a really tiny bit of the balm – no where near as much as is recommended by Heimish (3-4 scoops?!)! When I have used more, I find that it causes a bit of irritation in my eyes, with my vision getting blurry and making my eyes weepy.
For heavier makeup looks, I would probably start with a dedicated makeup remover or cloth, rather than going straight in with this cleanser, as I find that having to use more product on my eyes can cause irritation and, no matter how much I rinse it off, I wake up with slightly crusty and gunky eyes.
Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner
The Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner contains 20 plant extracts that soothe the skin, in addition to AHA and PHA to help gently exfoliate, remove excess sebum and unclog pores.

Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner Ingredients
The All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner contains 90% natural plant ingredients, with shea butter, coconut oil and moringa oil.
My Experience With the Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner
This is one of the most gentle toners I’ve tried, and I really appreciate this about it. A lot of exfoliating toners can be harsher, but this All Clean Toner manages to gently exfoliate, remove impurities and make skin feel softer while remaining very mild.
The toner has a pH of 5.5, making it neutral, which helps to maintain a normal acid-base balance and strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier.
In terms of consistency, the toner is almost like water, and so gets absorbed into the skin rather quickly. The results are perhaps subtler than with some toners, but it provides decent hydration and makes my skin softer.
Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Essence
The All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Essence is a soothing and refreshing essence that aims to clear pores, reduce sebum, gently exfoliate, moisturise and rebalance pH.
The essence removes dead skin cells and replenishes the skin with a moisturising barrier.
Key Features of Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Essence
- Cruelty-free
- 100% vegan
- Low pH – 5.5
- Mild peeling from AHA PHA
- Fragrance free
- Alcohol free
Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Essence Ingredients
The essence contains moisturizing and soothing plant ingredients, including moringa oil, which is great for moisturising the skin and strengthening the skin barrier.
My Experience With the Heimish All Clean Low pH Balancing Vegan Essence
The essence is refreshing to use, with a cooling feel. It absorbs into the skin fairly quickly, without being sticky. It leaves my skin fairly soft and clear.
Personally, I find that the exfoliation aspect isn’t quite strong enough for my skin concerns. I get a lot of milia on my skin, and require more intensive exfoliation than this product can provide. But for an essence, this provides a nice option for daily exfoliation for those who only require a milder exfoliation.
Heimish All Clean Blemish Cream
The Heimish All Clean Blemish Cream is a moisturiser that aims to reduce the appearance of blemish and freckles, brightening the appearance of the skin. It also aims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and offer hydration to the skin.
Heimish All Clean Blemish Cream Ingredients
- 50% Kakadu Plum – great source of vitamin C – helps improve uneven skin tone.
- 5% Niacinamide – helps to improve skin tone, brighten and reduce appearance of pores.
My Experience With the Heimish All Clean Blemish Cream
While the cream says it can be used day and night, I have opted to use this as my night cream, as I find it a tiny bit heavy for my skin at the moment. I’m sure I’d wear it in the day during the winter, but for the spring and summer, I’d save this one for my evening routine.
The cream absorbs quite quickly and isn’t sticky. It leaves my skin a bit shiny, but not greasy looking.
I haven’t seen the long term benefits of using this cream on my complexion, but so far, it has helped to reduce the dark marks left behind by a breakout. Overall, this is a pleasant cream to use and I’ve enjoyed it in my night time routine.
