Your sensitive skin will thank you when you use these makeup removers

These are gentle, effective and won’t leave your skin irritated

by Moh Shuying, Cheryl Lim & Smita DeSouza  /   September 14, 2020

But finding a makeup remover that will cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture, and leaving it irritated is easier said than done. But we did the homework and found effective, but gentle makeup removers that will do the job without any dryness or irritation.

Made for city skin that are constantly bombarded with pollutants and UV damage, this makeup remover not only removes traces of makeup, but also ensures your skin remains moisturised even after cleansing.
