We are happy to share it with you.
Any girl knows: it is important not only to apply makeup correctly, but also to wash it off. But which removes makeup better? TikTok bloggers were puzzled by the question. They conducted an experiment and came to unexpected conclusions! But wait, let’s be consistent.
As part of the experiment, a drop of foundation was applied to an avocado. They tried to remove the make-up from the fruit using micellar water, hydrophilic oil, foam for washing and alcohol.
And who would have thought that the result would be exactly that! It turns out that of all the tools, the best thing to do with the task was … alcohol! But to what extent is the finalist of the impromptu competition suitable for cleansing the skin?
Being among the guests at the presentation of the new Swiss cosmetics brand Neutrale, we did not hesitate and asked a question to the main person at the event. Alexander Shterenlicht, having been engaged in pharmaceutical cosmetics for many years, certainly knows what is right.
Co-owner and CEO of SwissPharm
– In the experiment of bloggers, alcohol won. Maybe we don’t need other funds, if it’s budgetary and works for sure?
— An analogy can be drawn here: is it possible to put out a fire with gasoline? Then everything will burn out at once and the fire will stop. It’s about the same with alcohol. They can really cleanse the skin, but at the same time dissolve absolutely everything, including the lipid layer. And we are fighting for the cosmetics to take care and preserve the skin.
At the same time, of course, one should not categorically assess the “burning out” effect of alcohol. According to dermatological studies, a small concentration of it will not cause significant damage to the skin. Conversely, the presence of alcohol in the product makes heavy textures easier and more pleasant to apply. In addition, it promotes a deeper penetration of the active ingredients of the care products.
– Everything is clear with alcohol. What cleanser would you recommend in this case?
— Here everyone must decide for themselves. It is necessary to select a product for the cosmetics that you use, because they all have different bases and fillers. In addition, girls apply a different number of layers of makeup. If the makeup is dense, then the products should be more concentrated, but at the same time gentle, so as not to expose the skin to great stress.

— Recently, we hear more and more about such a “curiosity” as hydrophilic oil. What is the advantage? Why is he so praised?
— The hydrophilic oil allows you to remove all makeup and also provides care. It does not dry out the skin and is economical to use. Therefore, I especially recommend using it when many decorative cosmetics are used. But, again, everything is very individual.
