Helen’s note
Give your eye area the delicate treatment it deserves with calming cleansers and don't forget your SPF.

Esse
Make Up Remover
£29.50 100ml
A water-light emulsion that dissolves make-up, waterproof mascara included, and leaves the eyes relaxed rather than rubbed. Aloe soothes, jojoba and macadamia oils hydrate and frankincense helps tone. It’s pH-matched so the microbiome isn’t disturbed. Use it on the eyes, or massage over the whole face as a first cleanse.
Key ingredients
Aloe Vera is soothing, healing and hydrating
Jojoba Oil improves elasticity and leaves a refined, smooth after-feel.
Macadamia Seed Oil is an easily absorbed oil high in Vitamin E and Palmitoleic (Omega-7) Acid , helps fight premature ageing, dryness and loss of elasticity.
Frankincense oil promotes cellular regeneration and assists in toning and tightening skin.
Gently cleanses, hydrates and rejuvenates the delicate eye skin and can also be massaged into the entire face as a pre-cleanser to remove all make-up or use if skin is very dry.
What to expect
- Make-up gone without tugging or rubbing
- Calm, hydrated eyelids
- Soft, comfortable skin around the eyes
- A gentle first cleanse for very dry skin
