Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil (HK$440/150ml) 
	A plant oil apparently long used by geishas to remove heavy performance make-up, Tatcha's all-in-one cleanser is deliciously scented and rich. It glides on then off completely, removing all types of make-up without drying out skin. Can also be used as a shaving oil by men.
	Available at Joyce Beauty 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Crabtree & Evelyn Damask Rose Softening Cleansing Oil & Makeup Remover (HK$135/100ml), 
	A rose-scented botanical-based formula that goes on like a dry oil but rinses off, removing even waterproof mascara, leaving skin soft and clean. Works best with the help of a face cloth.
	Go to crabtree-evelyn.com.hk for a list of stores
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Shiseido (HK$250/200ml) 
	One of the most effective cleansers we tried, this clear, lightweight oil seems to literally dissolve make-up. Doesn't leave a greasy residue, leaves skin feeling dewy and fresh, and can be used with dry or wet hands. Inquiries: 2262 6388
 
 
 
 

 
Glamglow Powermud Dualcleanse Treatment (HK$560/50 grams) 
	Use weekly for a deeper cleanse. It combines the dirt-sucking powers of mud with nourishing cactus fruit, tree sap resin and tree pine needle oils. Leave it on for five to 10 minutes then add water. It turns into a cleansing oil that washes off easily, while micro fine rice grains exfoliate.
	Available at Joyce Beauty
 

 
 
 
 
Haba Squa Cleansing - 31st Anniversary Edition (HK$520/300ml) 
	Contains hibiscus flower extract to gently remove dead skin cells, and Squalane to deliver moisturising and antioxidant effects. It has a heavier texture and suits dry, sensitive skin. Use it as a general cleanser, or for make-up removal, wipe with a cotton pad then rinse with water. It can also be used with wet hands.
	Available at Haba, Sogo, Causeway Bay
 
 
 
 
 

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (HK$680/105 grams) 
	A rich, essential oil-based balm with a relaxing scent to evoke a spa treatment at home. You can massage it onto your face and remove with the cleansing cloth provided, or leave it on as a mask for 10 minutes for deeper hydration. 
	Available at Nude Beautique, Wellington Place, 2-8 Wellington Street, Central
 

 
Skin Beautique Organic Coconut Oil (HK$128/200ml) 
	Extra virgin and cold-pressed, this multitasking oil is, literally, good enough to eat. Mix with a little warm water and apply with a cotton pad and then wipe off. It's less efficient than the others, but makes up for it with extra nourishing, antiseptic and antioxidant properties.
	Available at skin-beautique.com
