Makeup removers are the first and most important step in any skincare routine. A thorough yet gentle cleansing removes makeup, sebum, dirt, and impurities that accumulate on the skin throughout the day. In this category, you'll find a wide range of micellar waters, cleansing oils, balms, gels, and lotions , suitable for all skin types—from dry and sensitive to oily and acne-prone.
A good makeup remover does more than just cleanse—it protects the skin barrier, prevents clogged pores , and prepares the skin for the next steps in your skincare routine. Modern formulas contain soothing and caring ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, chamomile, panthenol, vitamin E, coconut or jojoba oil , which retain the skin's moisture and prevent irritation.
There are different types of cleaners:
-
Micellar water – light, fresh and suitable for daily use.
-
Cleansing balms & oils – dissolve waterproof makeup without rubbing.
-
Two-phase removers – especially for sensitive eyes and lips.
-
Foams & gels – ideal for oily or combination skin types.
The products are dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic and often vegan , with formulas that effectively remove makeup without dryness or tightness .
Key benefits:
✔ Removes all types of makeup, even waterproof.
✔ Protects and hydrates the skin barrier.
✔ Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
✔ Prepares the skin for further care.
✔ Vegan, fragrance-free and dermatologically tested.
Usage:
Apply the makeup remover to a cotton pad or directly to dry skin. Massage gently to dissolve makeup, then add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary. Finish with a toner or essence for perfectly clean skin.
Additional tips:
Use two-phase removers for eyes and lips to prevent rubbing. Cleanse every night, even without makeup, to keep pores clear. Combine with a double cleansing routine (oil + foam) for a deep cleanse.
