My beloved Alpha-H recently unveiled their latest product launch and I am so delighted that it is a cleanser. Anyone who knows me, either in real life or via whatever they read on their phones, will know that cleansing is by far my favourite part of a skincare routine!
The Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm is the newest addition to the Alpha-H skincare range and it joins a whole host of other products such as the Triple Action Cleanser and the Balancing Cleanser, both of which I absolutely love and have shared on this blog many times too. However, unlike those two cleansers, this one is a balm cleanser, the absolutely best kind of cleanser you can ever try on your skin as far as I’m concerned and with a name like Melting Moment, you can’t already imagine how amazing it is!
The Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm is packaged inside the brands tell-tale product packaging being all white with black writing. It retails for just £34.95 and this tub contains 90g.
As you can see, the balm is a slightly light orange colour, not quite bright orange but definitely orange and the texture, a balm-to-oil formula is scented with a bespoke blend of natural and subtle citrus with Tangerine, Orange, Ylang Ylang, Yuzu and Vanilla - absolute heaven!
Anyone who is familiar with Alpha-H as a brand will know that their products always feature some amazing ingredients and this balm is no different.
Key Ingredients
- Australian Wild Orange Leaf Extract – Native to inland Australia and rich in Phyto-Compounds including; Amino Acids to increase skin barrier function and Benzoic Acid and Phenolics which are high in antioxidants and promote skin cell renewal.

- Bisabolol – Extracted from Chamomile, Bisabolol is rich in Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and works to deeply hydrate the skin, reduce moisture loss and assist with reducing redness and irritation.
Quite the list and a task list that each ingredient his responsible for when it comes to looking after your skin.
To use this cleaning balm, the instructions are to apply it to dry skin and in doing so, gently massaging in circular motions. Once on the skin and you feel you have done everything you need, you can’t rinse off using a warm damp cloth, I like to use my Alpha-H cloths with this balm, they’re so delightful to use and I recently stocked up on more! Once you have removed the balm from your skin, you can complete your skincare routine as usual. If you wanted to have a much more indulgent use for this cleansing balm, then you can apply a layer to your skin and leave it to work it’s magic for around 10minutes as a treatment mask and then repeat the motion as set out above to remove from your skin! After using, my skin always feels so soft and smooth to the touch as well as really hydrated and of course that zingy fragrance lingers nicely for some time.
The Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm is one I am absolutely obsessed with and I have a second tub waiting in the wings to be opened, which I grabbed from Cult Beauty with a recent order.
