    How Do Dermatologists Recommend Removing Makeup?

    "I personally swear by the double-cleansing method," says Dendy Engelman, MD, FACMS, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon who works with stars like Sofia Vergara and Elle Macpherson. She recommends starting with a cleansing oil, followed by your usual cleanser. "This technique ensures that all makeup and impurities are thoroughly removed without the need for harsh rubbing or tugging at the skin," she explains.As for removing makeup around the delicate eye area, Dr. Engelman stresses the importance of being gentle. "The skin here is thin and sensitive, so it’s essential to avoid pulling or scrubbing," she advises. She also cautions against using harsh products, such as certain physical exfoliants, which can irritate and damage the skin, particularly around the eyes.

    Fact: Not all makeup removers are created equal, so it's important to read the labels carefully. Dr. Engleman advises avoiding removers with aggressive chemicals like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers and added fragrances, as these can irritate the skin and trigger rashes.

    13 Best Makeup Removers, According to Celebrity Dermatologists

    Take the day away with these derm-approved picks.

    Best Overall: SkinCeuticals Simply Clean, $39 at Dermstore

    SkinCeuticals

    When it comes to a do-it-all product that's great for makeup removal, celebrity dermatologist and founder of NicholsMD of Greenwich, Kim Nichols, MD, FAAD swears by SkinCeuticals Simply Clean. "This cleanser combines effective cleansing with gentle exfoliation, making it ideal for thoroughly removing makeup, excess oil and impurities," she explains. "Its gel-based formula contains hydroxy acids that help refine skin texture while dissolving makeup without stripping the skin." What's more, botanical extracts like chamomile and aloe soothe and calm the skin, making it suitable for all skin types.

    Best for Waterproof Makeup: Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover, $36 at Sephora

    Lancôme

    Waterproof mascara, especially around the delicate eye area, can be tough to remove and potentially damaging to both the skin and eyelashes, explains Dr. Nichols. She recommends Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover, which combines oil and water to gently yet effectively remove even the most stubborn makeup, sharing, "The oil dissolves makeup, while the water cleanses without leaving any greasy residue."

    Best Cleansing Oil: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Replenishing Cleansing Oil, $36 on Amazon

    Elizabeth Arden

    Dr. Engelman is also partial to Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Replenishing Cleansing Oil which is loaded with essential lipids, including omega 3, 6 and 9, plus vitamin E. "I love that this cleansing oil thoroughly removes impurities while being gentle enough for sensitive skin," she says, adding that the conditioning formula delivers antioxidants with a blend of apricot oil, safflower oil and olive oil. 

    Best Drugstore: Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, $12 at Ulta

    Neutrogena

    While the double cleanse approach might be the most skin-friendly, we can also relate to those who want to keep things simple (and cost-effective) with one step. In this case, Dr. Engleman recommends Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Makeup Remover. "The ophthalmologist-tested formula effectively dissolves even waterproof makeup, and it’s super gentle on the skin," she shares. "I also like that it doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue."

    Best Splurge: Caudalie Vinoclean Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil, $30 on Amazon

    Caudalie

    "This formula is packed with nourishing, antioxidant-rich plant oils to support a healthy skin barrier, along with castor oil to help with lash growth," says Dr. Engleman, who notes this is great for anyone looking to elongate their fringe. Another bonus? Caudalie's luxe oil is extremely enjoyable to use, given its sweet almond scent.

    Best for Oily Skin: Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water, $20 on Amazon

    Bioderma

    Our experts unanimously recommend this product for oily and acne-prone skin because its oil-free, non-comedogenic formula cleanses without clogging pores, making it ideal for preventing breakouts. "Further, this micellar water maintains the skin’s pH balance while using zinc and copper sulfate to purify and reduce excess sebum," says Dr. Nichols. Simply soak a cotton pad with the solution and gently remove any makeup from your face and eyes—no rinsing required.

    Best Wipes: Real Clean by Real Techniques XL Makeup Removing Wipes, $8 on Amazon

    Real Techniques

    Most makeup remover wipes get a bad rep, but these ophthalmologist and dermatologist-tested wipes are infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and replenish the skin while removing makeup, dirt and other impurities. Fragrance-free, sensitive skin safe and vegan, we also love their XL size to effectively clean the face, neck and decolletage in one swipe.

    Best for Mature Skin: Renée Rouleau Better Than Balm, $45 at Renée Rouleau

    Renée Rouleau

    Dr. Engelman is a big fan of celebrity esthetician and trusted skincare expert Renée Rouleau's do-it-all balm, which doubles as a cleanser with just one application. Thanks to the dual-phase formula, it starts as a makeup-dissolving oil and then transforms into a milky gel cleanser. "This gentle balm is great for mature skin because it removes makeup without any need for scrubbing or tugging," she says. It also leaves the skin feeling super hydrated.

    Best for Acne: Cetaphil Gentle Waterproof Makeup Remover, $10 on Amazon

    Cetaphil

    Cetaphil’s Gentle Makeup Remover is a wise choice for acne-prone skin, according to Dr. Engelman. "I like that it’s clinically- and dermatologist-tested, and found to be safe for all skin types—even sensitive," she says. "The formula is oil-free and gentle, with aloe vera, green tea botanicals and ginseng to calm and nourish the skin barrier." 

    Best Scent: Farmacy Green Clean Cleanser + Makeup Remover Balm, $24 on Amazon

    Farmacy

    This dermatologist-approved farm-to-face skincare brand is known for its strict list of "no-no" ingredients they avoid using, like parabens, sulfates, phthalates and mineral oils. So, you can rest easy knowing the dreamy tropical scent of their me balm isn't from synthetic fragrance, but rather due to a refreshing blend of lime, bergamot and orange essential oils. Plus, papaya extract helps to retexture the skin's surface and gently shed dry flakes.

    Best for Dry Skin: GoodJanes Say Goodnight Cleansing Balm, $49 on QVC

    GoodJanes

    Dealing with dry skin? Harsh soaps and detergents are designed to strip away oil, but they also deplete your skin’s moisture. Instead, use gentle soap alternatives that cleanse without compromising your skin’s natural oils. NYC-based celebrity dermatologist Hadley King, MD, recommends using a creamy cleansing balm like GoodJanes that offers excellent hydration, with ingredients like sunflower seed and argan kernel oils, shea and cocoa butter.

    Best Micellar: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, All-in-1 Makeup Remover and Facial Cleanser, $4 on Amazon

    Garnier

    According to S. Manjula Jegasothy, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Miami Skin Institute, Garnier's all-in-one micellar formula is suitable for all skin types and effective in removing even the thickest makeup off your face. "Although you may use a considerable amount to get your skin squeaky clean, the price point allows for large-scale use," she says. "Best of all, this micellar water leaves skin perfectly primed to receive all of the great ingredients from your favorite skincare products to follow."

    Best Eye Makeup Remover: Neocutis Lumière Illuminating Eye Cream, $72 on Amazon

    Neocutis

    When applied and gently wiped off with a non-fragranced tissue, Dr. Jegasothy says Neocutis' Lumière Illuminating Eye Cream is best for removing eye makeup—particularly for dry or sensitive skin types. "You can anti-age your eye area while applying this soothing, makeup-emulsifying cream to your delicate upper and lower eyelid skin," she advises. "It's a win-win!"
