e.l.f. Holy Hydration Off Makeup Remover — Bi-Phase Liquid for Eye, Lip & Face with Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane, Ophthalmologist-Te

e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Off Makeup Remover is a bi-phase, non-greasy liquid that dissolves even waterproof eye, lip, and face makeup while delivering hydration.

This lightweight remover blends effective makeup breakdown with skin-nourishing actives—hyaluronic acid, squalane, and niacinamide—so you cleanse without overdrying. Ophthalmologist-tested and safe for contact lens wearers, the formula is designed to glide makeup away with minimal rubbing, leaving skin and lashes soothed rather than stripped.

How does this remover break down stubborn or waterproof makeup?

The product uses a bi-phase system that combines oil-friendly and water-compatible components to lift and dissolve pigments, mascaras, and long-wear formulas. Shake to mix the layers, press a soaked cotton pad gently over the area, and let the remover dissolve the makeup for a few seconds before wiping.

• Bi-phase formula targets oil-based waterproof makeup.
• Designed to reduce friction and tugging on delicate skin.
• Works quickly—no heavy scrubbing required.

Will this irritate sensitive eyes or contact lenses?

This remover is ophthalmologist-tested and formulated for tolerance around the eye area, making it suitable for many sensitive-eye users and contact lens wearers. It aims to minimize stinging and redness compared with harsher solvents, though individual sensitivities vary.

• Ophthalmologist-tested for gentleness around eyes.
• Non-irritating texture intended for delicate lash and lid skin.
• Safe for many contact lens wearers when used as directed.

How does it support skin hydration and condition?

Beyond removing makeup, the formula includes hyaluronic acid to help attract and retain moisture, squalane to support skin barrier lipids, and niacinamide to calm and balance. These ingredients work together so skin feels hydrated and conditioned after cleansing instead of tight or chalky.

• Hyaluronic acid helps maintain surface moisture.
• Squalane replenishes lightweight lipid support.
• Niacinamide contributes to a soothed, balanced appearance.

Is this product suitable for all skin types and cruelty-free?
