Estée Lauder Take It Away Liquid Makeup Remover Lotion — 6.7 oz Water-Based, Removes Waterproof & Long-Wear Makeup

Estée Lauder Take It Away Liquid Makeup Remover Lotion is a water-based cleanser that dissolves and rinses away long-wear and waterproof makeup without leaving oily residue.

This lightweight lotion is designed to remove face and eye makeup quickly while leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable. The formula blends water-soluble cleansing agents with a crisp citrus fragrance for a refreshing experience that rinses clean. It's ophthalmologist- and dermatologist-tested and made to work for a wide range of skin types, from dry to combination and sensitive.

How well does it remove waterproof and long-wear makeup?

The Take It Away lotion specifically targets stubborn pigments and waterproof formulas, breaking them down so they lift off the skin with minimal rubbing. It’s formulated to be effective on mascara, long-wear foundation, and transfer-resistant lip color while remaining gentle to the eye area.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation without heavy oil.
• Minimizes tugging at delicate skin around the eyes.
• Rinses away cleanly, leaving no greasy film.

Will it leave my skin feeling greasy or tight?

No — this is a water-based remover designed to rinse away easily. After use, skin typically feels soft and smooth rather than oily or stripped, making it suitable as the first step in a double-cleanse routine or for a quick nightly removal.

• Non-greasy finish for comfortable skin feel.
• Leaves skin supple, not tight.
• Suitable for layering with regular cleansers if preferred.

Is it safe around the eyes and for sensitive skin?

The formula is ophthalmologist- and dermatologist-tested, which supports its suitability for the eye area and many sensitive skin types. It was developed to remove eye makeup efficiently while minimizing irritation from excessive rubbing or harsh ingredients.

• Ophthalmologist-tested for eye-area safety.
• Dermatologist-tested for general skin compatibility.
• Designed to reduce mechanical irritation when removing stubborn makeup.

How do I use this lotion for best results?

Apply a small amount to a cotton pad or fingertips and gently sweep across closed eyes and face to dissolve makeup. For heavier waterproof makeup, let the product sit briefly to loosen pigments, then rinse or wipe away and follow with your regular facial cleanser.

• Use on dry skin with a cotton pad for targeted removal.
• Allow a few seconds for the formula to break down long-wear products.
• Rinse or wipe clean and follow with your usual cleanser if desired.

Who is this for? Estée Lauder Take It Away Liquid Makeup Remover Lotion is well suited for anyone who frequently wears long-wear or waterproof cosmetics and prefers a quick, water-based removal step that doesn’t leave an oily residue. It’s a practical pick for everyday users, makeup artists who need dependable removal between looks, and people seeking a gentle first-step cleanser before their nightly skincare routine.
