Does La Roche-Posay Cleanser Remove Makeup?

If it’s time to ditch the harsh makeup wipes, La Roche-Posay’s cleanser range includes cleansing oils and micellar waters that can be used as a makeup remover. The La Roche-Posay Lipikar Huile Lavante AP+ Cleansing Oil uses the power of nourishing oils to gently melt away makeup and leave the skin soft and clean.

If you have oilier skin or Micellar water is just simply more your style, you can’t go past the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micellar Water Ultra. Using Micellar technology and softening glycerin, it gently removes makeup including waterproof mascara with a single swipe, and is gentle enough for the whole face and eyes.

How to Use La Roche-Posay Cleanser in your Skincare Routine

La Roche-Posay has an extensive and thorough range of skincare products that cover all bases of any in-depth skincare routine! Morning or night, you can have a complete skincare routine from La Roche-Posay, and if you’re not sure which order to apply everything in, here’s a quick cheat sheet:

Step 1: Use a Micellar water or oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, then cleanse the skin to remove any impurities and create a fresh base for the rest of your skincare routine.

Step 2: Use a toning mist featuring the iconic thermal spring water to soften and soothe the skin and as an extra bonus cleanse. These toning sprays can also be used throughout the day as a quick refresh.

Step 3: Apply any eye creams or serums. In a morning routine, you should avoid products with strong active ingredients that can increase sun sensitivity.

Step 4: Moisturise! La Roche-Posay has a stunning range of daily moisturisers for all skin types.

Step 5: Sunscreen should be applied last as it acts as a barrier to external aggressors, and of course, harmful UV rays that can damage the skin and speed up signs of ageing.
