ETUDE Lip & Eye Remover 250ml – Dual-Phase Water & Oil Makeup Remover for Waterproof Mascara, Gentle on Sensitive Skin

ETUDE Lip & Eye Remover is a dual-phase water-and-oil formula that dissolves waterproof mascara and stubborn eye and lip makeup gently without leaving a greasy film.

Designed in Korea and trusted by millions since 2016, this 8.45 fl.oz (250ml) bottle blends an oil layer with a water layer to lift pigment, waterproof makeup and long-wear formulas while maintaining hydration for sensitive skin. The lightweight finish rinses clean or wipes off easily, making it a convenient step in any cleansing routine. Its popularity—over 3.2 million bottles sold—reflects consistent performance and user satisfaction.

How does the dual-phase formula remove waterproof makeup?

The product relies on two separate layers: the oil phase dissolves oil-based pigments like waterproof mascara and long-wear lip color, and the water phase clears away residue for a fresher feel. Shake well to blend the layers before use so the oil can encapsulate makeup particles and the aqueous layer helps lift them from the skin.

• Shake bottle to mix oil and water layers.
• Apply to a cotton pad and press briefly on lashes or lips.
• Wipe gently—repeat if needed for heavy makeup.

Will it irritate sensitive eyes or skin?

ETUDE formulated this remover to be gentle; it removes makeup without harsh rubbing, which reduces irritation risk. The finish is non-greasy when wiped or rinsed off, and the product is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, when used as directed.

• Gentle pressing technique minimizes rubbing.
• Non-sticky finish helps avoid pore-clogging discomfort.
• Suitable for daily use as part of a cleansing routine.

How should I use it for best results?

For effective removal, shake the bottle, saturate a cotton pad, hold it against the area for a few seconds, then sweep downward to lift pigment. For waterproof mascara, allow the pad to sit briefly to loosen the formula before wiping to avoid tugging at lashes.

• Shake to emulsify before each use.
• Press and hold the pad on makeup for 3–10 seconds.
• Wipe gently; follow with preferred facial cleanser if desired.

Does it leave an oily residue or require rinsing?

The remover is designed to wipe clean without leaving a greasy film when used properly; any remaining oil can be rinsed away or removed with your regular facial cleanser. Many users find a single wipe followed by a water-based cleanser gives a clean, comfortable finish.

• Most users report no greasy after-feel after wiping.
• Easily paired with a second-step cleanser for a double-cleanse.
• Rinse with lukewarm water or foam cleanser if preferred.

Who is this for? ETUDE Lip & Eye Remover is ideal for anyone who wears long-wear or waterproof eye and lip makeup and wants an efficient, gentle solution—especially people with sensitive or combination skin looking to avoid harsh rubbing or oily residues. It works well for makeup pros, daily commuters, and anyone who prefers a reliable, fast-acting remover as part of a skincare routine.
