Etude Lip & Eye Remover

What is this product?

A two layer point makeup remover from Etude in 100 ml and 250 ml bottles, meant to be shaken before use and applied on a cotton pad over eyes and lips. The seven entry list pairs water with a volatile silicone and a mild glucoside surfactant, with no fragrance, alcohol or plant extract. The brand notes that its manufacturer and part of the ingredient list changed and that older units may still ship. Removal claims, including waterproof makeup, are shown only with staged photographs.

What makes it different?

A very short formula, seven entries on the brand's own disclosure, built on a volatile silicone oil phase, so it removes point makeup without leaving heavy oil. The brand openly states a reformulation with mixed old and new stock, which means the listed ingredients may not match every bottle sold.
