“This is a creamy, non lathering bar, which only feels creamy after you have scrubbed a bit with it. It leaves a bit of an oliy residue but is not unpleasant, possibly hydrating. It seems to remove makeup well, due to the oil-based substance.”

“This is a fantastic product! I applied to my face and removed with a wet face cloth. It took away all traces of makeup including foundation and mascara without any stinging in my eyes. My skin felt clean but not tight. Afterwards I rubbed some directly on the cloth and rinsed in hot water and all makeup stains were removed from a white face cloth. Outstanding!”

“Didn't find it very easy to use and it doesn't remove waterproof mascara...handy to take in a carry on if you don't have hold luggage”

Hi Sue, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the rena Lipophilic Makeup Remover wasn’t as easy to use for you and didn’t fully remove waterproof mascara. We appreciate your comments, and we’re glad to know it can still be handy for travel in a carry-on. Your feedback is much appreciated as it helps us improve our products. Warm Regards, Alex Team grüum

“This stuff is amazing! It removes all makeup effortlessly and so smoothly. I had to buy a second one as I gave away my first one to someone removing heavy special effects makeup after performing at a local Halloween event. It removed all traces of "greasepaint" better than anything else they'd ever used - no more panda eyes or smudged cheeks!”

“This - I would highly recommend. I have dry skin by because of acne inversa - I shouldnt use heavy oils on my face. This is really nice so far, I don't need to use it every day because I have other toners and cleansers but when I've had a tonne of makeup on for a stage show or photo shoot, this is the thing that gets every bit of make up and primer and setting spray off. Lovely product”

“When I first started using this, my skin was clean, fresh looking, After a few washes, my skin started coming out in spots. Stopped using & my complexion is now spot free.”

“It’s good but very hard and you need to rub it directly on v wet skin. Also important to let it dry out fully between uses as I’ve found in a damp bathroom it does grow mould .. personally I’d prefer a cream in a small jar.”

Hi Frances, Thanks so much for your feedback on the rena Lipophilic Makeup Remover. We’re glad to hear you find it effective, and appreciate your tips about using it on very wet skin and letting it dry fully between uses. We’re sorry to hear about the mould issue — damp environments can sometimes cause this, so ensuring it’s stored in a dry place really helps. We also appreciate your suggestion about a cream formulation, and we’ll pass this on to our product team for consideration. Thanks again for sharing your experience! Best wishes, Andrea - team gruum
