Promising review: "Brilliant stuff! Bought one to try and was amazed how quick it removed all my makeup even waterproof mascara. Purchased another four while they are half price. Wish they would make larger sizes, best makeup remover I've used." – KatieC59

2. A cleanser that feels like a spa treatment.

Liz Earle / Via uk.lizearle.com

Promising review: "I have been using this product for one year and I would never use anything else, unless from the Liz Earle range. I wear a heavy amount of makeup on a daily basis and this product really helps to remove product, any other makeup wipe fails to do so. It deeply cleans my face and removes excess dirt. I have combination oily skin and this product removes that layer of oil I have on my t-zone through the entire day, both with and without makeup. This product allows me to set my makeup onto clean, fresh skin meaning my makeup looks better and lasts longer. Since using this product my spots and blemishes have disappeared and I feel much more confident going out without makeup. I would definitely recommend, as my skin has never felt and looked better." – Almit18

3. Micellar water that removes your makeup and cleanses your skin.

Superdrug / Via superdrug.com

Promising review: "This is the best ever makeup remover out there. I use it to take my makeup off everyday with a cotton pad. It cleanses my skin and after use, my skin is so smooth. I use it for all my face even my eyes. It's an all in one cleanser and all the dirt and makeup comes off in a second. I don't even need to rub my face so harsh to get it off. It also hydrates my skin, and I don't need to wash my face with water after. I will use this product for life. I recommend it to everyone. It doesn't irritate your skin, and I get so many uses out of it. Purchase it and don't ever turn back. There is no other product on the market compared to this, I've worn makeup for ten years and I've tried endless makeup removers which have all been so poor. This ones great!" – J

4. A lightweight cleansing balm that quickly removes stubborn eye and face makeup.

Clinique / Via clinique.co.uk

Promising review: "I first tried this product as a little free sample and liked it so much I bought it. I have very dry sensitive skin and this is the only cleanser that doesn't irritate and leave my skin feeling tight and with flaky patches, I'm going to try the milk version next. It may be more expensive than some other cleansers you can buy but it lasts forever. I've had mine for around 4-5 months and still some left. Highly recommend this product." – Sahararose

5. Soothing micellar water that removes makeup and dirt while maintaining the skin’s pH balance.

Bioderma / Via boots.com

Promising review: "I have bought this several times now and really rate it. Been a fan of micellar water for years now and this is definitely one of, if not the best, I've used. It's gentle on skin but still manages to just melt through the most long-wearing of make up. Skin feels lovely and soft and moisturised after using, not dry or tight in the slightest. Definitely recommend it!" – BeautyBunny

Get it from Boots, £10.80

6. A balm that smells nice and comes with a cotton cleansing cloth.

Trilogy / Via John Lewis

Promising review: "I suffer with a really bad skin condition and have been resigned to prescription products until now. The organic nature of this product has meant that I was allowed to try it and honestly it's been amazing! I wore makeup to a Christmas party and it removed all traces with ease! Including lasting mascara. No vigorous rubbing required. I just massaged a small amount over my face and eyes then lay the warm cloth over my face for a few seconds, pressing gently and it all just disappeared. The smell is very mild and pleasant. It left my skin extremely soft and most importantly it didn't irritate or aggravate my skin condition. I actually think its helped sooth my skin. There also wasn't any discomfort later after drying my face. I wish I'd known about it sooner and would highly recommend trying it, even if it is a little pricey. The cloth can be washed but stained quickly and I can't seem to buy them individually. However I will definitely be repurchasing the set again when it runs out. – Sazzzz

7. A gentle cleansing oil with added vitamin E.

Superdrug / Via superdrug.com

Promising review: "This stuff is fab. I wear a lot of makeup and have had acne since I was a teen so I've always needed a good cleanser, however, I also suffer with eczema so I need products to be moisturising too. A couple of months back I had massive skin outbreaks due to hormone medications and my skin was incredibly sore, after the first use my skin felt less painful and soothed. Within a week, it was really helping to reduce my outbreaks. I use it at night, it removes makeup brilliantly and my skin hasn't felt or looked this good in years. It's lasted me around two months so great value too. I'm intending on trying the rest of the range now! Thanks Superdrug <3" – NelieW

8. A balm that cleanses and moisturises your skin.

Elemis / Via elemis.com

Promising review: "I love this cleansing balm. It dissolves makeup with ease. I use as a mask also, at least weekly. Smells fantastic and really relaxing. Leaves skin looking smooth and glowing and it lasts for ages."

Get it from Elemis, £40

9. A gentle lotion that doesn't leave with you with that stripped feeling.

Mario Badescu / Via beautybay.com

Promising review: "First time I've found a makeup remover that cleanses the skin but doesn't make it feel completely stripped. It leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple with almost a brightened appearance. It works miracles for the skin but do not use on the eyes, it stings." – Felicia

Get it from Beauty Bay, £12

10. A non greasy cleanser that's great for sensitive eyes.

Lancome / Via allbeauty.com

Promising review: "This is worth the price tag. This product removes all mascara no matter how thick, stubborn or waterproof. I wouldn't use anything else as it's delicate on the eye area and there is no need for dragging or rubbing it just wipes off." – Karen

Get it from All Beauty, £21.50

11. A cleansing milk that's great for dry skin.

La Roche-Posay / Via boots.com

Promising review: "Brilliant cleanser, I hadn't tried before but glad I did. Very efficient at shifting all types of makeup. Texture feels quite luxurious and is deeply comforting. I will definitely buy this again. It is a snip at the price. – Aliyoga
