I want this to remove the heavy-coverage foundation I use on my face. Does it remove makeup better than washing with your hands? I want it for that.

My daughter says that it would probably work well for this. She isn't using it anymore because it's a little too rough on acne. Hope that helps!

I would not use ANY power facial cleanser for removal of heavy makeup. They are meant to cleanse your face, assuming that there is nothing else on it already. For heavy makeup removal, you might want to consider a hand-held brush, where you can better control the contact - that might work, but nothing works as well as a facial cleanser liquid for removal and cleaning. The brush just helps to exfoliate and keep blackheads away. I think you would be asking for bacterial buildup if you removed heavy foundation/makeup with the brush, and then expected it to also do a good job with regular cleansing.

If you use heavy foundation I would recommend getting a waterproof makeup remover and using that on your face with a cotton pad. Then splash your face with water and get a nice facial cleanser or I use dove deep moisture because it won't leave residue. And then use the power brush for about 1-2 minutes with the soap. Then rinse a few times and perfect! Hope this helps!

Yes it does. Try using a foaming face wash. I use Loccitane precious cleansing foam ( royal blue pump bottle) religiously and that rids all of my make up even without the brush, the brush gets deeper in your pores though. My dermatologist reccommended Aqua Glycolic foam face wash wich also works well. Creams or gels don't work as well.

Yes, I think so. I actually bought this for my teenage daughter. She uses it all the time. Her face is clear and it removes her make up.

Well what I do is that I use it as a cleanser and moisturizer. It's perfect for taking makeup off (and does it quite easily too). Then I wash it off and put it on a second time as a leave-in moisturizer. A little of this product goes a long way so there's plenty to go around. My skins as smooth as a baby's :)

It's an exfoliator, so yes it is adequate as a make-up remover. Although, I would not use it for mascara removal as it can be abrasive for your eyes. I use it more as a body wash for my back and chest. I use it only once-twice a week on my face.

I've used both and it seemed to me the milk absorbed better and to a velvety finish. I reapply a few times throughout the day on top if makeup ( carefully) and it absorbs so well that it doesn't interfere with my foundation and blush.

I use a Neutragena moist wipe to take my makeup off first and then I use the Cetaphil. It was recommended by my dermatologist and I really like it.

Yes you can use it on makeup free skin. It's not oil base so it will not leave your face with the oily residue other makeup remover give. It will make your face feel clean, but personally i would not it as just a "cleanser". As i like to use products that contain Alpha and beta hydroxy acids to really clean out my pores. Hope this helped.

I use baby wipes to remove; I would think makeup removers would work as well

It sounds like you might just need a humidifier at work. This steamer is more of a focused treatment. It will make your face wet and the makeup slide off. Plus, as it opens your pores, the makeup and what ever debris you haven't washed off could go inside. If you really need something this intense, you could bring extra makeup to work; wash your face, use the steamer, and then reapply over a moisturizer and primer.

I've never used it with eye make-up remover. I've used the cloth to wipe off make-up with just water and it works great. I assume the oil on the cloth won't ruin the fibers because make-up has oil and my cloth is still in good condition.

Oh easy removal... I just use my normal cleanser. No problem removing in the least! This is a great SPF plus a great makeup base!

Hi. Yes, I wash my face in the morning and then use this before I put my makeup on.

I use it to wash my face. The consistency is a liquid, like a toner BUT Micellar water grabs dirt and makeup. Use it with cotton pads. I soak 2 square pads and wipe my face with both sides. I do not break out, my skin is smooth, even toned and healthy looking. Really, it works great as a way to wash your face. I use sunblock, foundation, mascara, etc. It all comes off.

Yes! I use it to remove makeup in the shower. First I use a small amount to remove my eye makeup, then rinse, then use a larger amount to wash the rest of my face, and rinse. It is so gentle and won't irritate your eyes at all. It's a little strange getting used to it at first because it doesn't lather, and if you're used to lather, you might worry that this won't remove your makeup, but it really does! I wear a fair amount of makeup and by gently massaging with the Cerave, it all kind of dissolves away. It's great.

I use a makeup remover (neutrogena towlettes) to get this off as it is very long wearing, then wash with my normal cleanser.

I do not think this cleansing cream is good for wrinkles, but i do not know. I use it for gentle cleaning and acne. this cleanser however, is not good for makeup removal, you have to remove your makeup using something else then use this. it works great on my skin for i barely wear makeup.

Its not really recommended for that purpose, but as long as you didn't over use it in the process of removing the makeup, I suppose it would be OK. By "over use" I mean more than about 8-10 light to medium pressure buffing movements in any particular area of the skin. Because the cloth is so good at exfoliating, it is very easy to overdo it and make your skin raw! It warns you about this on the package. Also, I believe there is a warning about using it too much on delicate areas such as around the eyes, where presumably you would have a lot of makeup to be removed as well so again, it would seem to be contraindicated for makeup removal. I would still highly recommend it as an exfoliator as it is the most powerful exfoliator I have ever encountered without using a chemical peel.

I wouldn't recommend it, you're using a moisturizer with it and whatever the one of your choice will pull the makeup off or, at the least run it. I've noticed no change in spots on my face. I hope this has helped you.
