Selected Mamamia readers have been trialling Dove’s Foaming Make-up Remover.
75% of Australian women ADMIT to sleeping with their make-up on! Are you guilty?
NEW Dove Foaming Make Up Remover is gentle on skin and is designed to effectively remove even the heaviest make-up, including waterproof mascara, eye make-up and foundation.
It works by transforming from liquid to an ultra fine foam to leave facial skin and eyelashes clean, fresh and without that greasy feeling.
It has all the Dove skincare credentials and is just as effective as oil-based products without the greasiness. The foaming cleanser is also better for your skin than wipes, and just as quick and easy to use.
So come and join the conversation.
Has the new Dove make-up remover foam made it easier to remove your make-up?
How does your skin feel after using the product?
How does the new Dove MUR compare to other make up removers that you have used in the past?
Did you take off your make up more regularly while using the Dove MUR than you did while using other products?

I don’t wear make up as a rule so I use this as a cleanser. It is quick and easy to use and a really great feel after

Love the way that it foams up so that you can really tell how well you have cleaned your face!
loading...
I haven’t used the product, but it sounds great
loading...
I probably did as I didn’t use any make-up/face cleansing wipes on those nights I couldn’t be bothered as this product was easy to use. I did use it on my whole face when with other remover products I only used it on my eyes.
loading...
It is great compared to others I have used, probably the best I have tried so far. I use it every time I wear make up.

I was pretty good at removing makeup before bed before – I woke up a greasy mess otherwise, but this product definitely makes it easier to do, even when I’m tired and want to just crash into bed. A quick wash, some moisturiser, than I’m done! Suits me.
loading...
If am 80% pretty good about taking my make up off each night. But the other 20% all I did was use the Dove make-up remover and put moisturiser on….bliss!
loading...
I take my make up off every night, a result of years of having it drummed into me, but the foam definitely makes this a much better experience, especially for eye makeup as it’s far more gentle around the eyes and I don’t have to rub to get it off (even waterproof mascara) which is a win
loading...
Yes definately but this could be because I felt that I had to test it out for you guys. Again I was happy with the result – skin felt cleaner.
loading...
No using the Dove product didn’t make me take my make up more frequently. Finally at my age the message of not sleeping in makeup has kicked in. However the ease of removal may encourage some women who are still waking up with panda eyes
loading...
No i didn’t take my make-up off more regularly but only because i’m a make-up remover nerd and never sleep with my make-up on anyway. this did make it a more pleasant experience though!
loading...
I almost always take my makeup off before bed but since receiving the Dove MUR, have gotten into the routine of removing my makeup with the Dove product and then cleansing with my regular cleanser.
loading...
Its the best I have used. No oily residue or eye irritation which I have experienced with other products. I saw it at the shops and am happy with the price as it is lasting a while. I will definitely be buying it.
loading...
I couldn’t get into mine – the pump just doesn’t work no matter how many times I turn it around. I have ended up just unscrewing the whole thing to get at the product.
Product is good- packaging does not work!
loading...
I’ve found this product really great, easy to use and i use my normal cleanser afterwards once the make-up is removed. Will definitely buy it again!
loading...
I only used this a few times to be honest, as my skin is quite sensitive and this product made it feel really tight and dry. It also wasn’t great at removing my eye makeup (eyeliner and non-waterproof mascara) and seemed to smear it around rather than remove it. All told, not a great product. It took my skin a little while to recover from using it, and I wouldn’t use it again or recommend it. I do thank Mamamia for the opportunity to try this though, I’m sorry I couldn’t give a rave review!
loading...
I have used dermologic pre-cleanse before which is more of an oil rather than foam. Although the Dove makeup remover removes all my make up it has left my skin really dry.
loading...
I only really wear eyeliner and mascara, and the product doesn’t remove these at all. I have stopped using the product as it leaves my skin so tight and dry. Rather disappointed as the concept is great.
loading...
In the past I’ve just used the wipes and I find the foam is so much more efficient, it actually removes all my eyemake up without any hassle.
loading...
It is the first one I’ve used that removes both makeup and eye makeup.
loading...
I love how smooth my skin feels after using this product, it is baby-soft and not tight or dry, as has been my experience with other removers. For me, it works best applied to dry skin.
My only real issue with this product is that it doesn’t remove my mascara or eyeliner at all.
loading...
My skin feels clean. Theres no oily residue which I always seem to get with other make-up removers. It removes waterproof mascara really well. I also like that you just wash it off.
loading...
The more I’ve used this product, the more I agree with the commenters that say it really makes your skin feel tight and flaky. I’ve stopped using it on my face in general, but I do use it to get my eye make-up off. It is great at removing long-wear gel eyeliner and long-wear eyeshadow. I’ll have to carefully watch how the skin around my eyes looks in a few days though.
loading...
Just realised I haven’t answered the first question yet.
It has definitely made it easier to remove makeup as I just ran out of make up remover. It is easy to pump and got my make up off easily. The first time I used too much and got some in my eye. That stung. The second time I was more careful around my eye area and didn’t get any in my eye when washing off.
My skin definitely feels clean, and fresh a little tight but nothing a bit of mouisturiser wouldn’t fix, which I would be applying anyway.
loading...
My skin felt very clean and smooth after washing, but quite dry and tight, though not flaky like I’ve found with other foamy cleansers.
Definitely needed to use moisturiser straight afterwards but I still like how clean my face feels before bed after using this.
loading...
Not a massive fan, it left my skin feeling quite dry and tight… especially not good at this time of year when the weather dries it out as well!
loading...
You need to put moisturizer on your face straight after as it feels quite tight.
loading...
After using the Make-up remover my skin felt clean and a little tight. Need to use a moisturizer afterwards for sure.
loading...
Clean and slightly tight, but then I’ve never used a makeup remover that didn’t make my face feel like that!
loading...
While I enjoyed the ease of using the product and the foam texture my skin did not react well to the product. I do have sensitive skin and persevered to see if it was an initial skin ‘settling’ period. It wasn’t. My skin became ultra dry and was flaky and patchy. I do get some dermatitis and this product really aggravated my skin. For this reason I wouldn’t buy this product myself.
loading...
It made my skin feel dry but I get around this by putting on moisturiser. It definately feels clean.

After using the product it left my skin feeling very smooth but slightly dry and tight.

Having accidentally making the mistake of buying waterproof mascara recently, trialing this product could not have come at a better time. Using it on a dry face definitely works best and I found it removed all my foundation and mascara quite effectively. I did find it left my skin quite dry but I find that with most make up remover products (such as the wipes) and I always moistrise anyway so this was not a significant drawback. Would definitely buy this and keep using it
loading...
I thought it was pretty good but two drawbacks – it stung my eyes when I used too much and the product seems to use up quite quickly. It goes a good job at removing eye makeup but I am a bit wary when using it not to put on too much so I don’t get stung again.
loading...
Unfortunately I am not liking this product at all … It feels like it strips my skin of all moisture (particularly bad around delicate eye area). You also need to rub a lot to remove mascara and it left my eyes stinging … and did not remove my eyeliner. I had to use my usual eye make up remover afterwards. Luckily I had my Aveeno moisturiser to hand to make my skin feel replenished again. Quite disappointed as it’s a good product proposition.
loading...
I love it! I take my makeup off in the shower and noticed on the bottle is said that it works better to put it on a dry face which I thought was interesting.
Anyway – it is a product I would definitely buy. I love foaming make up removers.
It does make it nice and easy to remove makeup
loading...
i think it works like a treat but does leave my skin a bit dry afterwards and i’m not usualy good with moisturiser as it tends to make me break out… double edged sword unfortunately…
loading...
Definately! even though I don’t wear a lot of make-up I have been putting it on and then moisturising and my skin feels more clean. Yo also only need a bit because it is so foamy.
loading...
I don’t wear much make up to work so it’s not a product I use every day but of a weekend when removing traces of eyeliner and shadow I’ve found it to be very effective. The ease of cleansing and removing make up at once in the shower is a definite plus.
loading...
I generally just use a cleanser to wash my face and remove makeup so I was thrilled to try this make-up remover. The foam formulation was super easy to use and washed everything off easily, including my long-wearing eyeliner and mascara. It was effective and convenient.
BUT, my skin just felt \”wrong\” afterward — tight and dry and almost a bit like there was a residue left. I still used my regular cleanser after, just to get rid of that feeling. I might try using it just on my eyes, because it did work well for that area. I liked it, but I didn’t like it. I wouldn’t buy it myself.
loading...
I got hold of this a few weeks ago and LOVE it for my everyday makeup removal. But what I loved MORE was that my 11 year old daughter used it to get inch-thick stage makeup off after several stage productions and it worked like a dream! No more bins littered with tiny pieces of cotton wadding! Foam goes on – makeup comes off. So easy even she could do it.
loading...
I have used this quite a few times and have to say I’ve been impressed. I usually use either make up remover wipes or a cream cleanser then find myself reaching for the eye make up remover afterwards (amidst stinging eyes, \”can’t see, can’t see!\”). Using this product at the sink or in the shower I was able to just wash all make up off and not worry about eye make up remover at all. I did however find that it left my skin drier than usual but moisturiser soon fixed that. Would definitely recommend and use it again.
loading...
How do I become an opinionator?

I am a lazy makeup on and makeup off kinda girl so this product was great for me because I could use it in the shower without any makeup wipes/cotton pads etc. I found it took the makeup off and I could use a blemish specific cleanser straight after with no irritation. I know my room mate also liked it because every time I would go to use it there would be a few washes less in the bottle…
loading...
I usally purchase an expensive make up remover oil but was quite surprised that this worked just as well if not better. I will be purchasing again.
loading...
I love a foam product for being quick and easy and a pump pack means less wastage. I actually took mine when we went camping – I didn’t need water just pump, put on my face and then wipe off.The foam is quick to use and it does a great job of removing all the traces of eye makeup. I use eyeliner and it does a great job of removing it all without leaving an oily residue.
loading...
I’ve found this a really effetive makeup remover. Its removes mascara easily and generally leaves my face feeling nice and clean. I can often be a bit lazy when it comes to removing makeup but this makes it quick and easy so I’ve found I’ve used it more than products I’ve used in the past.
loading...
Yes. I love it! Best make-up remover I’ve used.
loading...
It’s definitely made removing makeup easier, though I don’t use waterproof mascara or eyeliner.
At first I didn’t like it – my skin felt quite tight afterwards (but not dry and flaky like other foaming cleansers). Definitely no issue using it on my eyes though, and normally they are very sensitive. Still can’t work out how the oil magically becomes a foam when you pump it out!
However, I have continued to use it and now I really like it at the end of the day – super quick and easy which is what I need as a busy and tired mum to a toddler. My skin feels completely clean afterward and very refreshed. Will definitely finish the bottle. Saw it at Woolworths tonight for $8.99 so it’s good value I think.
loading...
When I first got this, it was such good timing as I was about to pay a lot more for a cleansing oil. I wear primer, foundation and more everyday so need to at least double cleanse to remove makeup, and then cleanse my skin. This is a great way of removing my makeup. using it near my eye is quite sensitive, but this is particularly good if you like to use ‘long lasting’ makeup as this is really helpful in breaking it down!
