There are lots of make-up removers out there promising complete and effective removal of makeup residue so choosing which particular make-up remover to buy may prove to be a bit difficult.
To narrow down your search, consider the type of your skin. Make-up removers that come in pads or wipes are perfect for normal to oily skin. Highly recommended are Estee Lauder’s Take It Away Longwear Makeup Remover Towelettes. The towelettes are both a makeup remover and a facial cleanser at the same time, so you practically have two products at the price of one. Cream-based makeup removers are recommended for dry and/or sensitive skin. A particular product to try is C.O. Bigelow Apothecary Rose Wonder Cold Cream. If you have oily skin or if your skin is prone to acne water-based makeup removers are for you. Try Aveda Pure Comfort Eye Makeup Remover. It is oil-free as well as fragrance-free. A recommended product for oily skin is the Nivea Visage Makeup Remover. This product comes in a gel form that can leave the skin soft and supple. The only drawback to makeup removers that are in gel form is that they have a tendency to cause skin break-outs. To prevent them from happening, rinse the solution well with water.
Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover is also considered a good pick specifically for those with oily skin. It is oil-free and it leaves the skin with no oily residue whatsoever. Other products worth trying out is Naturesessence Eye Makeup Remover, Eye Scrub Sterile Remover Pads, Sephora Express Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover (works like magic even on mascaras), Klorane Wild Cornflower Eye Makeup Remover, Lancome’s Effacil (it’s a bit expensive, but you’ll definitely get your money’s worth!), and The Body Shop’s Chamomile Eye Makeup Remover which is very gentle even for the most delicate skin.
