So I usually use the Cerave Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm for my first cleanse and it works GREAT but I ran out and can’t afford to buy anything right now. I’ve heard of people using Vaseline or olive oil but I’m worried about breakouts. Anyone try these or any other “unusual” double cleansers?

I would massage for a good 1 min with a lightweight moisturizer like Nivea Soft instead of directly applying oil or something heavy like Vaseline as I have acne-prone skin. Any cheap moisturizer is fine & has worked for me. Didn’t get any breakouts & followed with a cleanser all your makeup gets removed. I would suggest investing in cleansing oil later, Kose Softymo Speedy cleansing oil is effective and very reasonably priced for the quantity.

I wouldn't use olive oil if you have acne-prone skin.
~While olive oil might have some superb moisturizing properties, it can be kind of a nightmare for anyone dealing with acne. "When we talk about disorders of excessive oil production, such as acne, olive oil can be one of the worst products to apply to your skin, as it can clog pores and lead to severe acne breakouts," explains Dr. Mehr. ~

I feel like Vaseline should be fine, but it might be hard to spread around so it may not be the most efficient at removing makeup.
