Estée Lauder Take It Away Liquid Makeup Remover Lotion, 6.7 oz — Water-Based, Removes Waterproof & Long-Wear Makeup

Estée Lauder Take It Away Liquid Makeup Remover Lotion is a water-based lotion that quickly dissolves and lifts off long-wear and waterproof makeup without leaving an oily residue.

This lightweight lotion cleanser is formulated to dissolve foundation, mascara, eyeliner and long-lasting lip color while rinsing clean. The formula uses water as its base and is perfumed with a fresh citrus note for a clean, invigorating finish. It’s designed to leave skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than greasy, making it suitable for nightly removal and prep for subsequent skincare steps.

How does it remove waterproof and long-wear makeup effectively?

The lotion works by combining water-based solvents and gentle surfactants that break down pigment and film-forming ingredients used in long-wear cosmetics. It lifts makeup from the skin surface so it can be rinsed away without heavy rubbing.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation without tugging.
• Works quickly to minimize contact time on delicate skin around the eyes.
• Rinses clean so no greasy residue remains for easier follow-up skincare.

Is this remover safe for sensitive eyes and all skin types?

The product is dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, formulated to be gentle around the eye area and suitable for a wide range of skin types. It’s designed to avoid leaving oily residue that can irritate or clog pores.

• Ophthalmologist-tested for safe use near the eyes.
• Recommended for normal, combination, and oily skin due to non-greasy finish.
• Gentle enough for evening cleansing routines; avoid direct contact with open sores.

How do I use Take It Away Liquid Makeup Remover Lotion in my routine?

Use a small amount on a cotton pad or fingertips, massage over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse or wipe away. It pairs well with follow-up cleansers and serums to complete your nighttime regimen.

• Apply to a cotton pad or directly onto skin; massage to lift makeup.
• Wipe away with a clean cloth or rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Will it leave my skin feeling dry or oily after use?
