If you've got sensitive skin/rosacea, how do you remove make up and cleanse?

What cleanser(s) do you use and how do you remove it? Do you use a cloth or cotton wool or have you found a cleanser you can just rinse off?

I've got oily, sensitive skin. I don't cake on make up, but I do wear an spf moisturiser, primer, and usually some bb cream or mineral make up.

To cleanse at the moment I either use micellar water with cotton pads and then wash with LRP Toleraine, or I use a cleanser like Boots Simply Sensitive, remove it with damp cotton pads, then use a gentle fragrance free toner with cotton wool pads. I'm as gentle as I can be but my face seems to look a little red at the end. However it is better than when I used to use a flannel, that definitely pissed off my skin.

Has anyone found a one step make up remover/cleanser that they can just rinse off with water? I keep eyeing up Clinique TTDO, but I don't want to end up having to use a flannel to get it off.

Any advice would be great - thanks!

I use Simple - only their cleansing lotion. Their wipes didn't work well for me. I've also tried Kalme's cleansing lotion and LRP Toleriane. Neither removed makeup as effectively and Kalme irritated my skin slightly, although Toleriane was fine in that regard. I also tried Clinique's Redness solution wash of cleanser and found it too harsh for my skin.

Wash off, rather.

If you have rosacea you should get Soolantra. It’s a total game changer.
