Make-up removers

Use an oil-based or dual-phase micellar remover specifically formulated for waterproof make-up. Apply to a cotton pad and press against closed eyes or lips for 20 to 30 seconds before gently sweeping away. Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Make-up Remover is a dual-phase formula that efficiently dissolves waterproof formulas without tugging. Browse all Lancôme eye make-up removers to compare available formulas for different waterproof sensitivities.

If you have been wearing a full face of heavy makeup, it can be a good idea to use the double-cleansing method – this involves using an oil-based makeup remover (like Bi-Facil) and then a water-based cleanser to cleanse the pores and skin.

Using a remover specifically formulated for the eye area is the safer choice. Eye make-up removers are ophthalmologist-tested for use around the eyes. Facial make-up removers or cleansing oils can be used on the eyes but may cause temporary blurred vision if they enter the eye. Discover how to create a complete skincare routine that includes a thorough double-cleansing makeup removal first step before applying your night serums and moisturisers.

Make-up remover is not a substitute for cleansing. It dissolves and lifts make-up from the surface but does not deeply cleanse pores of sebum, pollutants and residual particles. Always follow make-up removal with a water-based facial cleanser. Browse Lancôme skincare to find the most appropriate facial cleanser to use as the second cleansing step after make-up removal. This double cleanse ensures the active ingredients in your serums and moisturisers can penetrate clean skin.
