Can I use IDEE DERM Balancing Facial Cleansing Gel to remove makeup or sunscreen?

This gel is suitable as an evening cleanser, especially as the second step after removing makeup or sunscreen with an oil cleanser, cleansing balm or micellar water. The source guidance specifically positions it as a second cleanse after makeup or SPF removal, rather than as a dedicated heavy makeup remover. That distinction is useful: sunscreen films, long-wear foundation and eye makeup often need a first step that dissolves them before a water-based gel can rinse the skin clean.

A good evening routine would be: first loosen makeup or SPF with your chosen remover, then wet the face and apply a small amount of this gel. Massage gently for 20–30 seconds, avoiding the eye area, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. This helps remove leftover sebum, sweat, cleanser residue and city dust without needing to rub the skin aggressively.

For light, non-waterproof sunscreen or minimal makeup, some people may find one cleanse enough, but do not force it. If you still see tint on the towel or feel a film on the skin, use a separate first cleanse next time rather than applying more pressure or washing repeatedly. Over-cleansing can leave even gentle formulas feeling too much, particularly on sensitive or dehydrated areas.
