    • I'll introduce Arieol's Lip & Eye Remover Pad, commonly called the 'eraser pad'. It earned this nickname because it cleanses even heavy color makeup thoroughly, as if erased with an eraser. The embossed pad, soaked with remover liquid, is designed to be pulled out one by one, making it even more convenient and hygienic to use. It contains jojoba seed oil and olive oil, so it stays moist without any tightening feeling after cleansing. Its compact size fits easily into a bag, making it convenient to carry while traveling or exercising.

      일명 '지우개 패드'라고 불리는 아리얼의 립앤아이 리무버 패드를 소개할게요. 진한 색조 화장도 지우개로 지운 듯 말끔히 클렌징해준다고 해서 탄생한 별명이랍니다. 리무버 액을 듬뿍 머금은 엠보싱 패드를 한 장씩 뽑아 쓰는 타입이라 더욱 간편하고 위생적으로 사용할 수 있어요. 호호바씨 오일, 올리브 오일 등을 함유해 클렌징 후에도 당김감 없이 촉촉하죠. 가방에도 쏙 들어가는 컴팩트한 사이즈로 여행이나 운동 시 휴대하기도 좋답니다.
