Formula and compatibility
Check whether the remover is intended for waterproof makeup and whether it is suitable for your skin and eye area.
Beauty buying guide
Makeup remover: compare formula and total cost
Makeup removers vary in formula, packaging and intended use. Choose based on the makeup you wear and the product’s directions, not just a viral claim.
Comparison points
Rinse and residue
Read directions for rinsing or follow-up cleansing. A product that requires extra steps may change the overall routine cost.
Packaging and price
Compare cost per ounce and whether the pump, cap or bottle helps prevent waste. Avoid buying a large size before you know a formula works for you.
Patch-test new skincare products as directed and stop use if irritation occurs.
