Can this be used as a face wash or is it just for makeup removal?

This looks and feels like water when applied onto the face. You would need to apply this onto a cotton ball/pad in order to remove your makeup.

No, it's just a make up remover. It's very effective in removing make up and doesn't leave a oily residue.

I would only use it as makeup remover as it doesn't lather and is so liquidy it will run from your hands. Just with a cotton pad... But it works wonders

I would use it as makeup remover only. It is so liquidy it won't wirk as face wash. Buy it removes makeup really well. Great product!

I use it to wash my face. The consistency is a liquid, like a toner BUT Micellar water grabs dirt and makeup. Use it with cotton pads. I soak 2 square pads and wipe my face with both sides. I do not break out, my skin is smooth, even toned and healthy looking. Really, it works great as a way to wash your face. I use sunblock, foundation, mascara, etc. It all comes off.

Personally, I feel the need to use something after I remove my make-up with the Bioderma. It might be overkill, but I use a face wash too. However, I have heard from others that they rely on this solution alone to cleanse the face. It has no soap or oil so, I do not see why not. But, it is a personal preference. I have three bottles in my bathroom as I do not want to be without it.

It definitely isn't a face wash but I use it instead of washing my face so I can remove my makeup every night. My face is really dry right now and doesn't like to be washed. (Just finished Accutane.)

I use it on cotton pads to remove tough eye makeup before I wash my face with Philosophy Purity cleanser. You could use it on cotton pads all over your face as a quick makeup remover but its not technically a "face wash". Hope this helps. : )

I never had any issues removing it from my daughters...and they use a very mild skin wash that doesn't lather very much so I'm sure any face wash would work well.

This won't clump like regular coconut oil. As for face wash, I don't see why not.

I use coconut oil & then wipe it off with a kleenex then wash my face with my normal face wash. I also use coconut oil to wipe away make up it's great! i wouldn't use dish detergent on my face! it'll strip the natural oils from your skin.

Yes, you can do any of the above. I wash my face first, then apply it and massage in gently with my wet hands, it does a nice job, no need for special tools, if you use a brush or a towel be sure to use less pressure than with your hands and for a shorter duration until you know how your skin will respond.

Nothing special needed to remove this from your face. It will wash off easily. It is not sticky and oily like some other sunscreens. It also does not have a strong sunscreen smell. Works really nicely under my makeup as a base.

I would not use ANY power facial cleanser for removal of heavy makeup. They are meant to cleanse your face, assuming that there is nothing else on it already. For heavy makeup removal, you might want to consider a hand-held brush, where you can better control the contact - that might work, but nothing works as well as a facial cleanser liquid for removal and cleaning. The brush just helps to exfoliate and keep blackheads away. I think you would be asking for bacterial buildup if you removed heavy foundation/makeup with the brush, and then expected it to also do a good job with regular cleansing.

I actually have ONLY used on my face. I have used it as a face mask (10-20 min) and as an exfoliate, and I have really enjoyed it.

Oh easy removal... I just use my normal cleanser. No problem removing in the least! This is a great SPF plus a great makeup base!

Hi Jeanann, I tend to use an eye make-up remover first and then use Proactive, so yes it removes face make-up, but no don't use it for eye make-up. It has exfoliating crystals in it, so you don't want to put it on your eyes. This face wash is by far the best for me as I am acne prone. I've tried eveything and Proactive is the only thing that has consistantly worked for me. And this size at that price is out of this world! Best price I've found!

I use it to wash my face not as a moistuizer or wrinkle preventer. I've used it off and on for a very long time. I like it for cleaning my face because it doesn't dry my skin.

I only use it as a facial cleanser, but I'm sure you can use it on problem areas.

I just cleansed using my regular facial wash and then rinsed extra good, patted dry and then applied the peel... Hope this helps... Alcohol is just so drying that I wouldn't want to use it on my face.

Yes, I use it to cleanse skin before putting makeup on, or just to make sure skin is nice n clean and free of city grime, after a busy day.

Cure is an exfoliator, so it is not a daily face wash or daily cleanser. It's purpose is to remove dead skin cells from an already cleansed face. While it is gentle enough to use daily, I don't recommend it for daily use; I recommend using twice per week or once every other day (at most).

Not sure what you mean by this. It is a liquid wash that you use in conjunction with water to cleanse your face.

I use it to clean my face from make-up but not under the eye area. it is too sensitive.
