3 Best Japanese Makeup Removers You Can Find Drugstores in Japan (& 2 My Favorite Ones!)

Last month, I read February 2019 Issue of Biteki (美的), Japanese beauty magazine, and I became interested in their article about best affordable skin care products. Today, I'm going to share with you three best Japanese affordable makeup removers I found in Biteki magazine. If you are planning on visiting Japan, you should check these at drugstores in Japan. :)

No.1 Chifure Washable Cold Cream (ちふれウォッシャブルコールドクリーム)
Cold Cream
300g for 650 yen
Can be purchased at drugstores in Japan

Chifure Washable Cold Cream (ちふれウォッシャブルコールドクリーム)

Chifure Washable Cold Cream (ちふれウォッシャブルコールドクリーム) is very popular cold cream makeup remover in Japan. This is also currently ranked number one in cream makeup removers on @cosme, a huge Japanese cosmetic review site. Many people review that it softens and brightens your skin. It also deep-cleans your pores. Next time I visit Japan, I would like to purchase this one!

Chifure Washable Cold Cream (ちふれウォッシャブルコールドクリーム)

How to Remove Makeup
1. Apply an adequate amount (like the size of a cherry) of it on your dry face.
2. When the white cream turned into transparent oil (Some people review that it takes 5 minutes until transparent.), massage it into your skin in a circular motion.
3. Rinse it off.
4. After that, wash your face with your favorite facial cleanser.

No.2 DHC Deep Cleansing Oil (DHC ディープクレンジングオイル)
Makeup Removing Oil
120 ml for 1486 yen
Can be purchased at drugstores and 7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil (DHC ディープクレンジングオイル)

If you love Japanese skin care products, I think that you have already heard of DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. This one also has so many positive reviews on Amazon US. It really removes all makeup including waterproof mascara and heavy sunscreen at one go. In addition, it removes dead skin and clogged pores!

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil (DHC ディープクレンジングオイル)

How to Use
1. Take 3 pumps onto your dry palm. Gently smooth over dry face for 20 seconds.
2. Rinse it off.

No.3 MANDOM Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Moist (マンダムビフェスタクレンジングローションモイスト)
Makeup Removing liquid
300ml for 1000 yen
Can be purchased at drugstores in Japan

MANDOM Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Moist (マンダムビフェスタクレンジングローションモイスト)

Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Moist is makeup removing liquid. It is an all-in-one makeup remover (makeup remover + facial cleanser + moisturizing toner). It removes makeup and moisturizes your skin at the same time. You don't need to rinse it off after that, so it's perfect for busy people. Its previous version, Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Moist (うるおち水クレンジングローション), has also positive reviews on Amazon US.

2. Repeat until cotton pad looks clean.
3. You don't need to wash your face after that.
