Makeup Remover – gentle cleansing for the face and eyes
A good makeup remover helps thoroughly dissolve foundation, lip color and eye makeup, as well as dirt and excess oil. For the particularly sensitive eye area, choose products specifically designed for it. Whether you prefer cleansing oil, cleansing balm, cleansing milk or micellar water, the key is to find a formula that suits your skin and makeup. You’ll also find reusable cleansing cloths in our selection. A good makeup remover should have the following qualities:
Gentle formula: The cleanser should remove makeup without unnecessarily drying out the skin or requiring vigorous rubbing. It’s especially worth checking the directions for use and personal compatibility around the eyes. Even natural fragrances or plant extracts can cause reactions in sensitive skin.
Effective cleansing: A suitable cleanser should remove makeup such as eyeshadow, mascara and kohl eyeliner without vigorous rubbing wherever possible. For waterproof or particularly long-wearing makeup, an oil cleanser or two-phase remover specifically designed for this purpose may be a good choice. Plant oils and micelles can help remove pigments and residue.
Nourishing cleansing: Some formulas contain moisturizing or replenishing ingredients and leave the skin feeling pleasantly soft right after removing makeup. You can then apply your usual facial skincare.
If you have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses, check whether the product is specifically suitable for the eye area. Depending on the material, cleansing cloths can be washed and reused, making them a practical alternative to disposable pads.
