Does this gel effectively remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen, or do I need a separate makeup remover?

Victoria Beauty Snail Extract Cleansing Face Gel is formulated to handle two tasks in one step: washing away daily impurities and removing makeup, including around the eye area. For most everyday makeup — foundation, light mascara, tinted moisturizer — and sunscreen, massaging the gel onto dry skin before adding water usually lifts the residue effectively. However, heavy or waterproof eye makeup (such as long-wear mascara or liquid liner) and thick, water-resistant sunscreens may not dissolve completely with a single gel cleanse. In those cases, using a dedicated oil-based makeup remover or micellar water first, then following with this gel for a thorough second cleanse, ensures nothing is left behind. The gel base lifts oil, dust, and makeup particles, while the snail secretion filtrate helps the skin feel smoother during the wash rather than stripped. If you wear minimal makeup, one round with this gel is often enough; if you layer multiple products, a double-cleanse approach is more reliable.
