For sensitive or acne-prone skin spefically, cleasing oils or waters combined with a cleanser are the easiest and safest route.
"I really only like the pre-cleansing oil from Environ for serious makeup removal, but honestly I need to wear a lot of makeup on set and I never use a makeup remover," says Reck of her Recommendations. "I juat use a great cleanser like January Labs Pure and Gentle Cleansing Gel ($32), Kat Rudu Coco Cleanser ($48), Environ Low Foam, or the Colbert MD Gel ($60), which is amazing.”
