I’ve been using the same thing since at least the early 90s... I have to say it works for me. It’s Oil of Olay Foaming Face Wash. Because I’m lazy (especially at night), I can pump a dollop in my hands and wash my entire face (including all of my eye makeup) in one fell swoop. It’s glorious! Doesn’t dry out my face Read more

I have SUPER sensitive eyes and have had issues with a lot of the oil-based makeup removers. The Cetaphil ones have changed my life for the better. Great for sensitive skin, plenty of makeup remover in the wipe so it doesn’t dry up, container seals well so no dried out wipes, and SUPER affordable if you get them from Read more

Olay Cleansing Cloths! These are great! Inexpensive and really work. They come in different variations too so if you’re dry or oily they work. I used to be lazy and just use makeup wipes but noticed an immediate difference when I started actually washing my face again and this is what did it!

It gets rid of my waterproof mascara and cleans my face all in one step. On heavy eye make up days (waterproof gel liner cat eyes), I’ll use

The Original MakeUp Eraser has been a life changer for me. Micellar water is good but I prefer this thing. No cleanser, no burning eyes or irritated skin, just good old water.

Bioderma micellaire water is the bees knees. It quickly wipes away my mascara and face makeup and feels incredibly refreshing. I also use this to refresh myself in the morning on weekends if I want to have a cup of coffee and read for a bit before I wash my face and get dressed. I swab a bit onto a cotton pad and then

Jojoba oil mixed with almond oil. I use NOW at the moment, but I haven’t noticed a hug difference between brands. I follow it up with Spectro gel (my derm recommended I use this about 20 years ago when i was being treated for acne and I have used it since. I buy it at Shoppers Drug Mart in the Great White North.

Dr. Jart Micellar Water. I’ve tried nearly all and that one is by far my favorite. No residue. Sometimes I just use just that in the morning to wipe away any night serum residue in the morning as well. Read more
