Estée Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2025)

This is a creamy lotion makeup remover. This works the best if you pump some out onto a cotton pad or tissue, then gently wipe away. This takes off even Double Wear foundation I would then follow...

Got this as a deluxe sample size. So I had the chance to use it multiple times. It breaks down face make up but I did not try it in my eyes because two times I used in my face I had redness and...

I used a GWP trial size of this makeup remover, but I'm having a difficult time using it up and would not purchase it when I do. First, it's heavily scented. It also doesn't completely remove my...

I used a sample size of this for a trip. Unfortunately, it did not remove most of my makeup and (because I’m pretty sure most of it was left behind) I ended up with some clogged pores. I had to...

I received a sample 30ml of this. It’s heavily scented so I don’t think it’s suitable for sensitive skin. I feel it doesn’t actually take off all my makeup either without having to use a fair...

I received the 30 ml tube as a gift for purchasing an Estée Lauder product. It does dissolve make up which you wipe off with a cotton but like all make up remover balms, they leave a film on your...

Got this as a GWP which comes in a 30ml tube packaging, it's a thin white lotion that you can apply to dry skin and rinse or tissue off. I only used this to quickly take of my foundation because I...

I can't begin to tell...what even is this? It didn't remove much of my makeup and left my skin feeling dirty, oily, and disgusting. "Rinses away easily and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth with...

I got this in a GWP recently. It does take off most of my makeup. I don't see it doing any better than a good makeup wipe. I might even be tempted into buying the full size, if It weren't for the...

I enjoy this makeup remover. It doesn't smell heavy, or feel too heavy, just a light liquid to remove your makeup. I usually use this or a cleansing water first, then a regular cleanser. This seems...

As an everyday makeup remover I think it is great. It easily removes most of the eye makeup gently without rubbing the eyes. This product is not effective enough to remove makeup alone. I recommend...

As a lotion cleanser that you remove with a damp washcloth or muslin after using an eye makeup remover (other than this one), 5 stars. The directions say to tissue off or rinse. I could not get it...

I think this is a great makeup remover. If it wasn't fragranced and felt completely safe around my eyes I would give it 5 out of 5 because it MELTS waterproof/water resistant makeup. BUT it stinks...

It feels oily and can't properly remove my makeup. I need about 10 cotton pads to remove my foundation (I wear very thin layer of light liquid foundation), I can't remove mascara / eyeliner by...

A thin, oily feeling lotion that does not remove even the lightest mascara, eye shadow, lipstick or even foundation. So much mascara residue is left behind I end up with panda eyes a few hours...

The only reason I gave it a rating of one lipstick tube is because I had to give it something to enter my review. This was the worst make up remover I have ever used. The idea is that you rub the...

Fantastic product. It gently removes makeup from your skin but very thoroughly. It left my skin soft and surprisingly clean. Highly recommended for those with normal,dry or sensitive skin.
