Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Hi, At the moment I am sucessfully doing the following to remove makeup with out too much irritation (I agree you don't want to be a hermit so it's all about damage limitation1): I use 's Ph 5.5, 3 in 1 facial cleansing wipes. I find I don't need to rub too hard with the wipe to remove foundation and eye makeup, don't think they are much good with mascara though, but I don't use it anyway as it irritates my eyes too much. After the wipe I rinse thoroughly with cool water to remove the product in the wipe from my face and then apply whatever topical product you use (for me I slap on a lot of aloe vera gel which minimises any potential irritation from the cleansing wipe and when it's dry follow up with moisturiser - I use the cetaphil moisturising cream as my derm recommended but I know some can't use that). This is currently working well for me. I think this is partly because the wipes are pretty gentle but also they don't have to be in contact with the face very long and I rinse any excess off after. The aloe vera then soothes any residual irritation. I am not getting redness or bumps the next day and I don't use this every day, try not to wear makeup too often. Nivea and Olay also do wipes but I haven't tried theirs. I guess you would need to check ingredients etc and just try and see if it works for you. Hope this is of some help. -- In rosacea-supportegroups, trackgal1@a... wrote: > The subject of makeup has come up recently, and I wanted to ask if > anyone has found a good way to remove it. > > I use a Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar for sensitive skin, but it > still leaves a makeup residue.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 : Many thanks for the tips. Is the brand just " 's " or is it " & 's " ? Would the wipes be easy to find? At K-mart, Wal-mart, etc.?
