What the gurus are saying

Experts split on whether this microfiber cloth thoroughly removes makeup with just water. Some praised how its millions of tiny fibers work together as suction to lift makeup, dirt and oil effectively. Others found it doesn't fully remove makeup and felt it was quite tough on the skin, questioning whether the water-only formula can truly work as advertised.

"I personally do find them quite tough on the skin and I find they don't remove makeup [...] well. I don't think this is a brand that can give us anything else impressive, [...] I think they missed their calling to make proper makeup remover [...] products to pair with the cloth instead of telling people they don't need a makeup remover at all."

"This is a cloth that has millions of these tiny little fibers that work as a suction to lift all of the makeup, dirt, and oil off the skin and out of your pores. All you need is to apply a little warm water to this cloth to remove everything from your skin. You don't need eye makeup remover or cleansers or anything like that. It's actually very impressive. This should last three to five years. It will work for waterproof mascara and sunscreen and all that, so it's a really great product."

"MakeUp Eraser cloths are awesome at first because you can just put a little bit of water on it and wipe away your makeup, waterproof mascara, everything [...] with just the cloth and no chemicals. However, over time it becomes less and less effective. The material starts to get a little worn and you have to work harder getting the makeup off, which means tugging your skin more. I don't think it holds up very well over time if you use it a lot."

"I pulled back out the Makeup Eraser cloth and started using it and I love this thing so much. It's literally just this cloth and you put water on it and it removes your makeup completely without cleansers, eye makeup removers, or any other chemicals."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
