Choosing the Best Makeup Remover: A Comparative Review

After applying makeup, the most important thing we need to do is remove it. Makeup removers come in various forms such as liquid, oil, cream, and balm. So, which brand of makeup remover is the best? Let's find out.

EVE LOM Classic Cleanser

This makeup remover has a natural essential oil fragrance that is rich but not overpowering. It has a creamy texture that feels slightly oily and sticky. It is very effective in deep cleansing, which may be attributed to its multi-step process: First, apply an appropriate amount of the massage cream to remove makeup from the face. Then, massage the forehead, under the eyes, cheeks, lips, and neck. After that, use the included special gauze to apply heat to the face, repeating this process three times. Rinse off the makeup remover and use a cold towel to tighten the pores. Although it is a bit complicated, it produces quick results. Please note that when removing makeup, make sure to keep your eyes closed as the remover may cause a slight stinging sensation if it gets into the eyes. Also, it is not suitable for lazy people.

Predia Seikin Mineral Mud Cleansing Cream

This cleansing cream has a unique fragrance that creates a particularly relaxing feeling, similar to a spa experience. Its texture is not as heavy as the EVE LOM cleanser, and it emulsifies super quickly without any greasy feeling. One notable difference from other makeup removers is that it contains mineral mud, which not only removes makeup but also deeply cleanses and purifies the pores, making it more effective in removing oily residues. Although the brand is not well-known, it is definitely worth recommending.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water

This micellar water has a watery texture and contains unique water-soluble and oil-soluble molecules, making it easy to remove oil-based dirt and makeup from the skin. The natural cucumber extract soothes the skin and provides appropriate hydration. Please note that this micellar water is suitable for sensitive skin. However, it is not recommended for people who use waterproof makeup as it may not be strong enough in terms of cleansing power.

Nursery Mild Cleansing Balm (Yuzu)

This cleansing balm does not contain artificial fragrances and has a natural yuzu scent. It is made up of 87% all-natural plant ingredients combined with 4 beauty ingredients and 3 types of collagen (water-soluble collagen, hydrolyzed collagen, and water-soluble copolymer collagen), providing both cleansing and moisturizing benefits. The texture is wax-like and melts upon contact with the skin due to body temperature, transforming into an oil-like consistency. After emulsifying with water, gently massage to easily remove makeup, even waterproof makeup. After rinsing, the skin does not feel greasy or dry.

FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil

This cleansing oil has an extremely lightweight oily texture, similar to water. It contains ingredients that remove dead skin cells, deeply cleanse pores, and prevent blackheads and whiteheads, leaving the skin noticeably moisturized after use. It uses the latest rinsing technology, so it no longer turns into a milky white color like other cleansing oils. What's even more advanced is that it no longer requires us to have dry hands and face for application, making it more convenient.
