Budget cleanser to remove makeup

[haveyourcakeandeatit]

Ideally palm free. I used Liz Earl for many years then changed to baby oil when I had nothing else. I'm a bit worried that the baby oil will block or clog my pores up, although my face does feel super soft afterwards.

Used to use expensive cleansers but now I just use johnsons baby lotion. Not the stingy pink stuff anymore it's white and has coconut oil in it now no parabens etc. Large pump bottle for about £1.50. It's good.

I like the vitamin c cream cleanser from face theory but they also have an oil based one.

Superdrug vitamin E hot cloth cleanser. It's just as good as Liz Earl and is frequently on offer.

Yes, this is great. I used to use Liz Earle too but tried this when I'd run out and now much prefer it. SO much cheaper and they do a lot of 2 for 1 offers. The cloths aren't quite as good but the cleanser is great.

Jojoba oil and a cleansing cloth

[Booksandwine80]

Body shop camomile cleansing butter- not “cheap” but a tin lasts me ages. Gets off mascara as well no problem.

[stepfordwifey]

Simple cleansing lotion. Often on offer in Superdrug. Great for sensitive, dry skin. I buy it in bulk because I'm terrified of it being discontinued!

Yes this is an excellent product.

Another vote for CeraVe - I'm late 40s with dry sensitive skin and the hydrating cleanser (green & white bottle) is great. Lasts for ages and very gentle / effective (passes the white towel test when I've taken mascara off!).

I have been a big fan of various more expensive options over the years (Liz Earle, Clarins, Dermalogica, Clinique) and while I can't say that it's better than Dermalogica, it certainly holds it's own and is brilliant value.

Johnsons Baby Lotion.
My mum always used this and I followed suit. Brilliant cleanser / moisturiser in one. Use witch hazel as a toner.

Another baby lotion user here, both me my mum and sister do the same. Takes waterproof mascara off no problem and smells lovely. Plus ridiculously cheap, I use Johnson's

Super Facialist Vitamin C cleansing oil makeup remover is great, and lasts months.

[HermioneWeasley]

I make my own - half castor oil and half jojoba or almond with some tea tree. Use less castor oil if your skin is drier. Costs less than £5 a year as I buy big bottles from Amazon

[haveyourcakeandeatit]

Thank you all. Love the homemade ideas, I will definitely be trying some of those. I'm trying to limit my plastic use too, but have heard good reviews on the super facilist oil.

[NunAyaBizniz]

Avene. The tall pump, think it’s about £9 and lasts ages. Gets mascara off, but gentle and hydrating. I’ve got rosacea and it’s calming to my skin.

[Pigtailsandall]

I use jojoba oil for eye makeup removal. Great cause it also moisturises at the same time. Then my regular cleanser on top

[33goingon64]

Simple

[LadyDanburysHat]

Superdrug Vitamin E or Naturally Radiant hot cloth cleansers. Both are good.

[GonnaGetGoingReturns]

Can't think of what I use, but any old facial cleanser or a wipe (Simple but their eco friendly one).

I think I've used the L'Oreal Age Perfect cleanser but to be honest I generally use anything, what's on offer.

I do have the CeraVe Hydrating cleanser but use it in shower so will try it on makeup.

[ThisIsNotAFlyingToy]

Nivea in the big blue tin. Just rub in gently and then wash off with a hot flannel.

[JuliaDorneys]

Boots do their own brand (not No 7) for just over £1 a bottle. Or something like L'Oreal is under a fiver.

[Takenoprisoner]

Off the back of this thread, I've started using Johnsons baby lotion to remove makeup and then the Asda hyaluronic acid hot cloth cleanser for a second cleanse. Really recommend. Soft, cleansed skin that is comfortable, moisturised and glowy.

[SideshowAuntSallly]

Lacura hot cloth cleanser. I used to use Liz Earle but couldn't justify spending that much so I switched, and its better than Liz Earle.

[MakeMineALarge1]

Superfacialist cleansing oil first then a good cleanser, I switch between sukin, lacura and vit e one from superdrug.
I really like the sukin range, pick it up from amazon or TK Maxx - cheap as chips and really effective

[JoeMaplin]

Superdrug own hot cloth cleanser is just as good as liz Earle, it’s nearly always on offer. Half price at the moment £2.99.

[YennefersDress]

The Aldi ones are brilliant, no different at all from Liz Earle.
