Face wash/makeup remover that can be washed off

33 replies

Is there such a thing as a face wash/makeup remover that can be simply washed off and doesn't need to removed with a cloth or cotton wool? just simply rinse off?
I no longer want to use the reusable ones as they never really get clean even in the washing machine and just don't like the sensation of dragging anything on my face.

Really hoping there's something out there.

Another vote for simple face wash, but I use the green one which I think is the moisturising one.

Same here, and there are LOADS of wash-off cleansers, OP! I've always used them, in brands from Aldi to Chanel. (Chanel's nicer, but not £45 nicer, imo.)

I think people are.misssing your point about not wanting to use a face cloth. I've tried lots of these wash off cleansers and they are recommended to be removed with a cloth.
I'm not sure how you would get them to remove make up without a cloth or at least something gritty in them to agitate the face - and something gritty like an exfoiliant wouldn't be an everyday product.

Cerave cleanser I just wash off

I too buy Cerave- the large pump - and it last about 6 months. Morning and night.
A wash off cleanser is a common thing, I'd say it is less common to have to use a cloth.

Estée Lauder perfectly clean simply wash off , no cloth or faff, really effective and not harsh

I’ve used it for years but not for removing make up.

There are loads of face washes. I think nearly every skincare brand has one in its range. However, I don't think any of them can really get foundation etc off properly without a cloth or flannel or something to give a bit of a scrub. If you really don't like a wash with a cloth and you wear make up, could you do a cleanse with cotton wool and micellar water or cream cleanser first then wash with a face wash (and no cloth) to get any residue off?

Really like it. However as it's is a scrub I'm a bit wary of using every day, so I've been using a non scrub cleanser first and massaging in, and then the scrub over the top, so there's a bit of padding in between and then washing both off. I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to cleansers of all things so will add to this to my arsenal. Thanks for the recommendation. There's a few simple ones that have caught my eye so will explore
