Rice-powered gentleness

Gently dissolve stubborn makeup without irritation or tightness

EELHOE's rice-infused cleansing formula melts away makeup — even the stubborn kind — while leaving skin soft, hydrated, and visibly refreshed. No stripping, no residue, no regrets.

THE SHIFT

Why your cleanser might be working against you

Most makeup removers treat thoroughness and gentleness as opposites. EELHOE was built on the idea that they don't have to be.

CHAPTER 01

The nightly trade-off that never should have existed

You put on makeup to look and feel your best. But at the end of the day, removing it often leaves skin tight, red, or stripped bare — a punishment for simply wearing foundation. Harsh surfactants and alcohol-laden formulas do the job, technically, but they take something with them: your skin's natural comfort and moisture balance.

CHAPTER 02

Rice: an ancient ingredient with modern proof

Rice water has been a cornerstone of East Asian skincare for centuries — prized for its ability to soften, brighten, and soothe simultaneously. EELHOE centres this ingredient alongside natural botanical extracts to create a formula that loosens makeup at the molecular level without disrupting the skin barrier. One pump, a gentle massage, and rinse. That's the whole ritual.

CHAPTER 03

Clean skin that actually feels clean

The difference shows immediately. After rinsing, skin feels genuinely comfortable — no tightness, no film, no irritation. The formula forms a lightweight protective barrier as it cleanses, restoring skin's true appearance rather than leaving it raw and exposed. It's the first step in your evening routine that you'll actually look forward to.

WHAT WORKS

Three things this formula does differently

Built around rice and botanical extracts, EELHOE's cleanser resolves the oldest tension in skincare: removing everything without taking too much.

01
Core technology

Rice-powered makeup dissolution

Rice extracts contain natural starches and amino acids that bind to pigment and sebum, lifting stubborn makeup — including waterproof formulas — without abrasion. The result is thorough cleansing that feels more like a rinse than a scrub.

02
Skin comfort

Mildly cleanses, forms a protective barrier

Rather than stripping the skin barrier, the formula actively reinforces it during the cleansing step. Skin feels more comfortable and balanced immediately after rinsing — no rush to apply moisturiser to compensate for dryness.

03
Daily usability

Travel-size pump for everyday precision

The compact 30ml pump dispenser delivers a measured dose each use — no wasted product, no messy caps. Fits in any travel bag, gym kit, or bathroom shelf without taking over. Designed for the person who actually uses their skincare, not just displays it.

FIRST USE

Three steps to your cleanest skin

The entire ritual takes under two minutes. No special tools, no cotton pads, no fuss.

  1. 01

    Pump once or twice into your palm

    One pump covers a light-to-medium makeup day. Two pumps handles heavier coverage. The dispenser is calibrated so you won't over-use the formula.

  2. 02

    Massage gently across your face

    Work the formula into your skin using soft circular motions for 20–30 seconds. Focus on areas with heavier product — cheeks, under-eye, lip line. You'll feel the texture shift as it emulsifies makeup and impurities.

  3. 03

    Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water

    Rinse until the water runs clear and the formula is completely removed. Pat skin dry with a clean towel. Skin should feel immediately comfortable, soft, and ready for the next step in your routine — no tightness, no residue.

What buyers say about the switch

From daily makeup users to sensitive-skin sceptics — real responses after making it part of the nightly routine.

★★★★★

I was doubtful a 30ml bottle could handle my full-coverage foundation, but it genuinely dissolves everything in one go. Skin feels soft, not tight.

@priya_skin · Verified buyer
★★★★★

My skin barrier was wrecked from years of using micellar water with cotton pads. After two weeks of this, no more tightness. Not exaggerating.

★★★★★

Love the rice ingredient angle — it's not just marketing either. My skin actually looks clearer and brighter after cleansing compared to my old gel wash.

Good gentle cleanser. I use it as my first cleanse before my regular face wash and the combo is great. Doesn't irritate my rosacea-prone skin.

★★★★☆

Does remove mascara — not as instantly as a dedicated eye makeup remover, but a gentle 30-second massage does it. No stinging at all near my eyes.

Works well for light-to-medium makeup. For very heavy contouring I double cleanse, but this is my favourite first step by far. No redness afterward.

The pump is so practical — exactly the right amount every time. Packaging looks expensive for what you pay.

I travel constantly. This slides into any toiletry bag and gets me through a full week. Never dried out on me mid-trip.

I bought two — one for home, one stays in my gym bag. At this size and price it makes sense to just keep a spare. Skin never feels stripped after training.

STRAIGHT TALK

Honest answers to the questions you're actually asking

No fluff — just the specifics buyers want to know before committing to a new cleanser.

Is this really effective for waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation?
Yes, within reason. The rice-based formula is designed to dissolve stubborn makeup including long-wear products. For heavy, full-coverage waterproof formulas, a 30–60 second gentle massage will do the work. Very tenacious eye waterproof products may benefit from a second pass or a dedicated eye remover used first.
My skin is very sensitive and reactive. Will this irritate me?
The formula is specifically developed to be non-irritating — it's one of the primary claims on the packaging. It avoids the harsh surfactants that typically cause redness and tightness. That said, all skin is different: if you have a known allergy to any botanical extract, check the ingredient list before use.
Do I still need a toner or moisturiser after using this?
You can continue your existing routine after cleansing. The formula leaves a lightweight protective feeling on skin, so you won't feel the urgent dryness that often pushes people to pile on extra product. Your regular serum and moisturiser will still apply easily and absorb well.
Is 30ml going to last long enough to be worth it?
A pump dispenser typically delivers 1–2ml per press. At one to two pumps per use and once-daily use, 30ml gives you roughly 15–30 days of consistent use — which is a solid trial period. It's also an ideal travel or gym-bag size.
Can I use this in the morning as well as the evening?
It's mild enough for twice-daily use if desired, though most users incorporate it as their evening makeup-removal step. Morning use is perfectly fine for those who prefer a gentle cleanse on waking — just rinse thoroughly as with any cleanser.
What makes rice a better ingredient than standard cleansing agents?
Rice extracts are rich in amino acids and natural starches that bind to impurities without stripping the skin's moisture barrier. Unlike sulphate-heavy cleansers, they emulsify makeup and sebum while leaving behind a softening residue that contributes to the 'no tightness' feel the formula is known for.
