Quick Answer
The Bubble Double is a cleanser for double cleansing, while The Multi Balm is a leave-on balm for on-the-go hydration and color. Choose The Bubble Double if your priority is a thorough cleanse; choose The Multi Balm if you need portable moisture or a natural tint. They serve different steps and can be used together.
The Multi Balm
What Each Product Actually Does
The Bubble Double is a cleanser that uses pomegranate and salicylic acid to clean pores, gently exfoliate, and help prevent blemishes, with a pH-neutral formula. It is designed to be combined with The Calm Balm for a double cleanse.
The Calm Balm
The Multi Balm – Berry Beautiful is a leave-on balm that nourishes and soothes, locks in moisture, and protects the skin barrier. It targets dry patches and lips with a lightweight, non-greasy texture.
The Multi Balm – Red-y or Not is a multi-purpose balm that adds a natural flush of color to lips and cheeks, with a buildable red tint and compact packaging for on-the-go use.
The Multi Balm Case is a reusable refill case for the Multi Balm, designed to minimize plastic and let you switch shades.
Key Differences That Affect Your Routine
Purpose: The Bubble Double is a rinse-off cleanser; The Multi Balm is a leave-on product for hydration or color. Using a cleanser where a balm is needed (or vice versa) will not give you the intended result.
Timing: The Bubble Double belongs at the start of your routine (morning or night) to remove impurities. The Multi Balm fits anytime—after cleansing, during the day, or for touch-ups.
Format: The Bubble Double is a wash-off step; The Multi Balm is a solid balm in a compact, with refillable cases. This makes The Multi Balm easier to carry and reapply.
Ingredients and claims: The Bubble Double contains pomegranate and salicylic acid for gentle exfoliation and pore care. The Multi Balm – Berry Beautiful focuses on moisture and barrier support; The Multi Balm – Red-y or Not adds a buildable tint. None of these products are interchangeable.
Routine slot: If you double cleanse, The Bubble Double is your second cleanse (after an oil-based first step). The Multi Balm comes after cleansing, as a moisturizing or color step.
How to Choose Based on Your Needs
If your main concern is cleansing, pores, or gentle exfoliation, start with The Bubble Double. It is pH-neutral and designed for daily use, especially if you wear sunscreen or makeup.
If your main concern is dryness, lips, or a natural flush on the go, choose a Multi Balm. Berry Beautiful is for hydration; Red-y or Not is for a buildable tint. Both are lightweight and portable.
If you want both, use The Bubble Double to cleanse, then follow with a Multi Balm to moisturize or add color. They complement each other rather than compete.
Trade-Offs at a Glance
- The Bubble Double: A rinse-off cleanser with pomegranate and salicylic acid for pore care and gentle exfoliation. Requires water and a sink, so it is not portable. Choose it for cleansing and exfoliation at home.
- The Multi Balm – Berry Beautiful: A leave-on balm for deep hydration and barrier support, ideal for dry patches and lips. It does not cleanse or remove makeup. Choose it for moisturizing on the go or after cleansing.
- The Multi Balm – Red-y or Not: A leave-on tinted balm for lips and cheeks with a buildable red flush. It adds color but not cleansing or heavy hydration. Choose it for a quick color touch-up.
Product Facts
- The Bubble Double: The Bubble Double uses pomegranate and salicylic acid to clean pores, gently exfoliate, and help prevent blemishes, and is pH-neutral. This makes it a targeted cleanser for clogged pores and mild exfoliation, not a leave-on moisturizer.
- The Multi Balm – Berry Beautiful: The Multi Balm – Berry Beautiful nourishes and soothes, locks in moisture, and protects the skin barrier, targeting dry patches and lips. It is a leave-on hydrator for dry areas, not a cleanser, so it belongs after cleansing.
- The Multi Balm – Red-y or Not: The Multi Balm – Red-y or Not adds a natural flush of color to lips and cheeks with a buildable red tint and compact packaging. It is a color product for on-the-go touch-ups, not a skincare treatment for cleansing.
- The Multi Balm Case: The Multi Balm Case is a reusable refill case for the Multi Balm, designed to minimize plastic and allow shade switching. If you use Multi Balm regularly, the case reduces waste and lets you carry different shades.
