14/01/2021 - 12:40 AM

Removing your makeup before bed should be an essential part of your skin care routine [1], but if the product you're using to take it off is causing breakouts, irritation, or stinging, it can be counter-intuitive. For makeup-lovers with sensitive skin [2], it's essential to use a fragrance-free, gentle cleanser that won't dry out your skin, or worse, cause an allergic reaction.

We've selected some of the best makeup removers for your skin type so you can get that foundation and mascara [3] off in peace. Check out the picks ahead and sleep soundly knowing you won't wake up with a red, angry face.
