Step 1: Remove your make-up
Choose what works best for your skin
Each Clarins make-up 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 make-up, whether your coverage is light or waterproof and if you have sensitive eyes. Others are looking for a purifying, moisturising or soothing effect, depending on their skin type.
To give skin a fresh boost, Clarins Cleansing Micellar Water removes light make-up 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 make-up.
For sensitive eyes and heavy make-up, the Instant Eye Make-Up 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, creamy lotion that cleanses, leaving 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 hygienic and beauty reasons removing impurities and make-up, choosing a make-up 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 make-up 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 make-up, how light or waterproof your make-up is, how sensitive your eyes are... Some women want to remove make-up quickly. Others are looking for a purifying, moisturising or soothing effect, depending on their skin type. Clarins’ selection of make-up 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.
