Removing your makeup thoroughly is one of the most important things that you can do to promote a healthy, clear complexion.

We carry a large selection of makeup remover liquids, pens, pads and wipes with options for every skin type. You can shop for makeup remover online and have your order delivered to your door or find out where you can purchase a product at a Walgreens store.

Importance of Removing Makeup

At the end of a long day, you may feel tempted to skip removing your makeup, but doing so is a big skin care mistake. Leaving traces of makeup on your skin can pose a risk for irritation. Plus, cosmetic residues can congest the skin, increasing the risk of enlarged pores, blackheads and blemishes. Often, washing your face with a cleanser or face wash isn't enough to completely remove makeup. This is especially true if you use long-wearing or waterproof cosmetics. Makeup remover is capable of dissolving cosmetics that conventional cleansing products can't. Typically, you should use one before you cleanse at the start of your evening skin care regimen.

Liquid Remover Options

Liquid makeup removers are a popular choice and are offered by many brands. Typically, these makeup removers are applied using cotton balls or pads. With liquids, you'll receive a larger supply of remover that can last through many uses, making the products economical. Compared to many other options, liquids are also a convenient choice for correcting errors during application. By moistening a cotton swab, you can wipe away cosmetics from a small area.

Pens, Pads and Wipes

Makeup remover is also available in a number of other forms. A small number of brands offer makeup remover pens, which look similar to liquid eyeliner. These products are intended for correcting cosmetics. For instance, you may use them to remove a smear of mascara or to eliminate smudged liner under your eyes. If you're looking for an alternative to liquids for all-over makeup removal, pads and wipes are a great solution. Pads are soaked in makeup remover, while wipes are fabric towelettes are pre-moistened with a makeup removal solution. With both products, you simply remove a fresh wipe or pad and apply it over your skin to dissolve makeup. Then, you can throw the pad or wipe away. Some people find wipes and pads easier to use than liquids and some prefer them for travel.

Comparing Your Options

Once you have focused on the type of makeup remover that you prefer, you can compare the other features of the products. Some removers are formulated for a specific skin type, such as dry or sensitive complexions. If you wear waterproof cosmetics, make sure that the makeup remover you choose is ideal for difficult-to-remove formulas. Finally, you can consider any other benefits that the products may provide. For example, some removers contain moisturizers to hydrate skin or soothing agents to calm irritation.
