Time-Saving
Belei Hydrating Facial Cleansing Wipes
Makeup wipes aren't enough on their own to remove every trace of makeup, but we love to start with one before cleansing when we're tired and want to shorten our routine. Belei's offer some of the best value for your buck and, because it's an Amazon brand, you can always count on 2-day shipping!

Cult-Favorite
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
With DHC's cult-favorite cleansing oil, you'll wash away all traces of foundation and mascara while also nourishing skin. The olive oil formula is rich in antioxidants, and because it doubles as a cleanser, you'll actually be cutting down a step.

Natural Formula
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm
Although it starts out solid, this formula turns into an oil upon contact with skin. It gently massages away makeup with naturally derived ingredients like Moringa tree extract and echinacea.
Unlike some cleansers, skin feels hydrated, instead of dry, post-use. We like that it includes a mini spatula, too!

For a Deeper Clean
Dermalogica PreCleanse
Have you heard of double cleansing? More than just a beauty trend, this method involves washing your face in two phases.
The first removes makeup, dirt, and oil, so that the second rinse can give skin a deeper clean. Dermalogica's PreCleanse is a highly rated formula that's meant to be used as the first step, and it removes the initial layer of products and other buildup.

Biodegradable
Almay Biodegradable Longwear Makeup Remover Wipes
Along with Belei, we'll reach for these Almay makeup remover wipes when there's no time for a full cleanse. They're soft, they remove eye makeup with ease, and best of all, they're biodegradable.

For Stubborn Eye Makeup
Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover
When your waterproof mascara is extra stubborn, we suggest giving this award-winning Lancôme eye makeup remover a try. The two-part, oil-in-water formula instantly dissolves all eye makeup, and it can be used for removing longwear lipsticks, too.

TSA-Friendly
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
Another option for getting rid of the day's makeup is a cleansing balm. Clinique's is ultra popular, and similar to Dermalogica's PreCleanse, it's meant to be used as the first step in a double-cleansing routine.
We like it because the solid formula is travel-friendly (aka it won't contribute to your liquid count)!
