Why do you need makeup remover?
Removing makeup is a critical step in your end-of-day skincare routine, no matter how tired or low-energy you may be. Leaving your makeup on overnight can weaken your skin barrier and cause issues like acne, clogged pores, and irritation. By removing your makeup before continuing your nighttime skincare routine, you ensure your skin can breathe and rejuvenate overnight. Additionally, choosing a makeup remover that has the right ingredients can contribute to your skin’s nourishment, improving your overall skin health and appearance.

Cleansers
Our range of makeup remover cleansers are perfect for those seeking a simple yet effective solution to remove daily makeup. The SKIN RECOVERY Softening Cream Cleanser contains coconut-derived cleansers for gentle makeup removal on dry to very dry skin, as well as chamomile and beta glucan to soothe and hydrate. Those with normal to oily/combination skin can consider the SKIN BALANCING Oil-Reducing Cleanser instead, which is a cream-to-foam formulation that contains aloe for lightweight hydration without greasy residue.
Melting Balms
Ideal for all skin types, but particularly dry and sensitive skin, the Omega+ Complex Cleansing Balm gently uses coconut-derived fatty acids, jojoba oil, omegas 3, 6, and 9, and meadowfoam seed oil to remove makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils. A lush, rich formula melts away even the most stubborn makeup, while conditioning your skin to leave it feeling soft and nourished.
Makeup Remover Lotions
The Gentle Touch Makeup Remover’s extra-mild formula effectively removes even the toughest waterproof makeup products without leaving a greasy residue. Green tea, allantoin, glycerine, and aloe also lend their soothing and hydrating properties so your skin feels clean and refreshed. Plus, it’s formulated to be non-irritating around the eye, so you can swipe off your mascara, lash glue, and eyeshadow without any worries.
Reusable Cotton Pads
In line with our commitment to sustainability, Paula’s Choice Skincare offers Reusable Cotton Rounds for eco-conscious beauty and skincare enthusiasts. Made from 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, these makeup remover pads are soft and gentle on the skin. Simply saturate in your product of choice and swipe over the face and neck until all of your makeup is gone. Then pop them into the laundry and wash and reuse them again!
Suitable for various skin types
Makeup remover for dry skin
For those with dry skin, choosing a gentle makeup remover that doesn't strip the skin of moisture is crucial. Our hydrating formulas, like the Perfect Cleansing Oil, ensure that your skin remains soft and hydrated after every cleanse. Plant oilslike coconut, jojoba, and grape seed soothe and hydrate with every swipe, while shea butter provides rich and lasting moisture.
Makeup remover for oily skin
Managing excess oil requires a special kind of makeup remover. If you have oily skin, the RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser is here to help with your daily skincare routine. It’s specially formulated to remove excess makeup and oil, while ceramides gently prevent moisture loss and help restore the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid also provides a lightweight hydrating effect, while aloe extract soothes irritation for soft and rejuvenated skin.
If you have acne-prone skin as a result of oily skin, the CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser can also be a consideration for your daily routine. Salicylic acid clears out your pores to help prevent breakouts, while arginine soothes sensitivity and irritation. Pro-vitamin B5 also helps condition your skin, resulting in a softer feel that you can take to the next level with our acne serums and oily skin moisturizers.
