STEP 1: REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP
Choose what works best for your skin
Each Clarins makeup remover cleanses your skin with a tailored cleansing formula. Whether you prefer a cleansing milk, cleansing gel, cleansing cream, micellar water or oil, is determined by factors like how long it takes to remove your makeup, whether your makeup coverage is light or waterproof and if you have sensitive eyes. Others are looking for a purifying, moisturizing or soothing effect, depending on their skin type.
To give skin a fresh boost, Clarins Cleansing Micellar Water removes light makeup from the face, eyes and lips in a single sweep. To remove stubborn mascara or foundation that just won't budge, Total Cleansing Oil removes heavy, long-lasting and waterproof makeup.
For sensitive eyes and heavy makeup, the Instant Eye MakeUp Remover is your best choice. In the blink of an eye, it removes all traces of mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow with its gentle formula. This bi-phase lotion, formulated with cornflower extract, immediately comforts and soothes the face. It’s a refreshing boost for all skin types.
Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk envelops your face in absolute comfort and softness. It’s a fine, silky and creamy cleansing lotion that leaves your skin feeling gorgeously soft and velvet-smooth.

Why should you cleanse your face every day?
Your face is exposed to external aggressors, pollution and temperature changes. Whether bare faced or made-up, your face should be cleansed every day, just like the rest of your body. For both hygiene and beauty reasons, removing impurities and makeup using a makeup remover or cleanser that suits your skin type and preferences is a must. Top beauty tip: once or twice a week, take the time to remove dead skin cells and imperfections with a Clarins scrub. Leave your skin feeling soft, glowing and beautiful.
How do I choose the right makeup remover for me?
The right choice depends on several factors: the cleansing formula - whether it’s milk, gel, cream, mousse, micellar water or oil, how long it takes to remove your makeup, how light or waterproof your makeup is, how sensitive your eyes are... Some women want to remove makeup quickly. Others are looking for a purifying, moisturizing or soothing effect, depending on their skin type. Clarins’ selection of makeup removers and cleansers boasts a wide range of products containing the Gentle Complex*, the organic gentian and lemon balm extracts, sourced from Domaine Clarins will leave your skin feeling soft.
