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

This product does not remove my makeup and definitely not my regular, non-waterproof mascara. After I rinse it off it leaves a greasy residue on my face and lots of makeup on my white towel and...

If I could rate this crappy remover a negative 1 I would! It felt like I was washing my face in acid, as every piece of skin this horrid remover came into contact with immediately began burning...

I received a sample of this makeup remover in a gift with purchase. I find that I need a lot of product for the job despite not using this on my eyes as I have a separate eyemakeup remover for...

Smells and feels like your spreading liquid fabric softener on your face, but boy does it work. Mascara, eyeliner, you name it! You do have to wash with regular soap though after because this is...

Although it's gentle, it doesn't remove my makeup. It leaves significant amounts of foundation on my skin, which is not a problem when I use PC Skin Recovery or One Step Cleansers.

I like this. It removes my makeup and doesn't make my face feel tight afterwards. I use toner after and there is very little to no leftover makeup coming off on the cotton pad so it seems to be...

This is an awesome product. Literally dissolves makeup right before your eyes and makes an excellent pre-cleanser. I even tried it with double wear and if it gets that off, it must be good!
