Hot Product: DOVE Foaming Make-Up Remover

dove makeup remover

Are you guilty of sleeping with your makeup on? Don’t worry, you’re not alone!

According to a study commissioned by DOVE, 69% of women think it’s a beauty sin to sleep with their makeup on, but 75% still do it once a week or more! Why? Because we can’t be bothered taking it off! As a result we’re left with rough skin, stinging eyes and make-up stains on our pillow!

So DOVE decided to something about it…

NEW DOVE Foaming Make-Up Remover is a quick and easy multi purpose product for face and eyes. It’s designed to cut through the heaviest make-up, including waterproof mascara, eye make-up and foundation. We put it to the ultimate make-up remover test - the white pillow case -  and it passed with stain free results!

Posted by goldenmarie "on" 08/13 "at"10:46 AM
definatly trying this! i leave eye makeup on way to much. time to do something about it smile
Posted by EM.I.L.Y! "on" 07/26 "at"11:46 AM
i regretably leave my makeup on when i go to bed late. I fall asleep late at night and wake up too tired to take off my makeup, a product like dove makeup remover would make removing my makeup before bed more likely because of convenience and ease
Posted by ang1991 "on" 07/15 "at"10:02 PM
takes ages taking makeoff >.< mostly eye makeup
Posted by Gazal "on" 07/14 "at"06:55 PM
When it’s been a late night and I can’t function properly - but try to get it off in the morning as soon as I’m able!
Posted by laa "on" 07/06 "at"04:09 PM
Oops, back in the old days when I was young and foolish and would have a bit too much to drink. Try not to go to bed with makeup on anymore as it is SOOO bad for your skin.
Posted by ladybug67 "on" 07/06 "at"02:35 PM
opps my bad that was glasses of wine hehehehe
Posted by tupou "on" 07/06 "at"02:20 PM
yes im another one, I get home from a great night out with the ladies, Iv had too many classes of wine by the time I get home its head to the pillow and lights out for me, wake up the next morning and its not a good look lol
Posted by tupou "on" 07/06 "at"02:18 PM
atfer a big night out definately guilty!!
Posted by 55142 "on" 07/06 "at"02:06 PM
hmmmmm well im to lazy to take it off smile
Posted by sokagirl "on" 07/06 "at"12:42 PM
I bought the wrong make up remover and its not nice to use, so sometimes sleep with it on so i dont have to use it.
Posted by ewilson "on" 07/06 "at"12:29 PM
I wear make up to bed becuase i cant find eye makeup remover…
Posted by XOXO "on" 07/06 "at"12:26 PM
I use makeup remover when I do wear makeup, but thats not very often!
Posted by shells "on" 07/06 "at"11:17 AM
I use make up wipes, but sometimes they sting my eyes so I can’t get all the mascara off!
Posted by 46776 "on" 07/06 "at"09:04 AM
I try to remember to use a baby wipe, doesn’t get the mascara though, sometimes just to lazy and tired - guilty is right!
Posted by Ebby1 "on" 07/06 "at"03:52 AM
I use make-up wipes most of the time but sometimes i just feel too lazy to take my make-up off, especially after a long night out with the girls!! Dove rocks x
Posted by alicefryer "on" 07/06 "at"12:19 AM
I’m guilty because i’ll be watching a movie with my man and be all snuggled up and not want to get up and spend 10 minutes washing my make up off in the bathroom. This would so much easier !!!
Posted by Gracey6 "on" 07/05 "at"11:53 PM
i always forget and im terrible at looking after my skin, plus i only wear makeup occasionally so i forget im wearing it hahaha
Posted by 43648 "on" 07/05 "at"11:37 PM
Guilty because of late nights where I spend all evening on the computer and get too tired and cold to take off my makeup before bed raspberry
Posted by bailz89 "on" 07/05 "at"11:36 PM
hmm sometimes its just too much - my bed is calling me
Posted by flowerpetal "on" 07/05 "at"11:26 PM
by the time i get home I am SOOO tired i just fall into my bed
Posted by merrincavel "on" 07/05 "at"10:44 PM
I’m guilty, because i just dont like scrubbing my eyes to get all the waterproof mascaraa off.
Posted by Tachee! "on" 07/05 "at"10:07 PM
after a late night or morning…
Posted by jea525 "on" 07/05 "at"09:23 PM
Wow. I would love to try this. I never wear make up to bed because im a clean freak and shower everynight. However i can never get it all off and i get the racoon eyes by morning.
Posted by Superpam "on" 07/05 "at"08:16 PM
definitely especially when travelling on aeroplanes
Posted by Laura27 "on" 07/05 "at"08:02 PM
I am guilty of wearing makeup to bed very rarely because most days I feel comfortable without it. If I do put on makeup though, I’m in trouble because I don’t actually own any make-up remover. Please Dove, save my skin from a block of crude soap!
Posted by cheekycooky "on" 07/05 "at"07:50 PM
I am guilty of wearing mascara to bed most of the time. It takes forever to get it off my eyelashes, it sticks like glue no matter the brand. I would love to try Dove makeup remover as I trust the Dove brand alot.
Posted by Airy "on" 07/05 "at"07:42 PM
Sometimes if I get home really late at night, I am lazy and just don’t bother to remove my makeup before bed.
Posted by 16848 "on" 07/05 "at"07:38 PM
Because I don’t own/can’t afford make up remover…..
Posted by Erica16 "on" 07/05 "at"07:33 PM
my mum thinks make-up remover’s bad for skin so i have to use baby oil and cleanser to remove it..it works awesomely but takes waaay too long and most of the time i can’t be bothered!
Posted by manjua "on" 07/05 "at"07:24 PM
I’m always just too lazy.
Posted by ponyhunter "on" 07/05 "at"07:02 PM
cant be bothered to scrub off my make up after school…..have to much homework and by the time i’m done its really late and i just drop dead >_<
Posted by Danny0429 "on" 07/05 "at"06:43 PM
I just can’t be bothered with mascara removal sometimes!
Posted by laura_actually "on" 07/05 "at"05:57 PM
I never leave mine on, and my current remover is almost empty - that’s why I need this!
Posted by 31864 "on" 07/05 "at"05:34 PM
I never take it off when Im at a guys house I just cant bear for them to wake up to the real me! And go to sleep with the real me haha call me insecure but I dont care I feel more comfortable even if I do break out in a million spots the next day. However I do worry about its aging effects on my skin overnight and feel really bad the next morning when I wake up,. If my skin was nice and even complexion I would totally wear none!
Posted by Amberina "on" 07/05 "at"05:10 PM
I always forget im wearing makeup and never have a product i like using it to remove it but this one sounds fun.
Posted by Feildingchick "on" 07/05 "at"04:40 PM
Mainly during the winter is when i don’t take it off.. im usually in bed early to stay warm and watch movies and i get so sleepy and an usually too lazy and warm to walk all of 8 steps to my bathroom to wash it off =)
Posted by Raspberryblonde "on" 07/05 "at"03:24 PM
I am guilty of wearing make up to bed when i stay at a friends house or a night out. I can’t be bothered standing in front of the mirror scrubbing my face until all the make up comes off so i just sleep on it. It would help if i could have some make up remover as it wouldn’t take as long to remove D:
Posted by MelissaW "on" 07/05 "at"03:02 PM
Whenever I go out anywhere that requires me to wear makeup I never take it off to go to bed as usually too tired or just forget I’m wearing it.
Posted by Julzt "on" 07/05 "at"01:23 PM
Can’t be bothered taking it off, sometimes it takes way too long!!
Posted by sweetisabel "on" 07/05 "at"12:00 PM
Lazy, that is all it is, too lazy, I know it is wrong and I don’t do it all the time but when I get home late at night, just don’t want to do it.
Posted by 1099 "on" 07/05 "at"11:39 AM
I always take my makeup off but I have yet to find an excellent product that doesnt hurt my eyes x
Posted by Macattack "on" 07/05 "at"11:39 AM
im guilty for leaving my make up on when i go 2 bed becouse i can never find a decent product that u can use quick an easyly
Posted by 19694 "on" 07/05 "at"11:34 AM
gaw i sit down and use a pams baby wipe every night when the kids go to bed lol wouldnt mind trying this
Posted by shopping "on" 07/05 "at"09:46 AM
I always try to remove my make up but sometimes when the weather is really cold and the hot water takes ages to heat up I just leave it on and jump into bed.
Posted by 32666 "on" 07/05 "at"08:27 AM
I just get so tired sometimes I forget all about taking make up off before bed…and wake up looking like a clown
Posted by 41661 "on" 07/05 "at"07:56 AM
hate to admit it but, sometimes I get too tired and just wanna go to bed and know its going to take ages so skip doing it
Posted by ozki "on" 07/05 "at"03:20 AM
i used makeup remover once and woke up with a fat face..i wasnt allergic but i havnt used remover since! i know thats bad.. :(
Posted by Gizzy "on" 07/05 "at"12:45 AM
I normally remove my make up, but when my snuggly bed is calling me after a cold night out i cant say no :/
Posted by Mumzii "on" 07/04 "at"11:31 PM
Work stress has me too tired!
Posted by Munro "on" 07/04 "at"10:59 PM
I get too tired and just wanna go to bed
Posted by Kelsey :) "on" 07/04 "at"10:45 PM
i hate to admit it but im just to lazy to get my makeup off because it takes forever then when i wake up its smudged and even worse so i have to scrub it hard o get it to come off :[
Posted by SuperAwesomeLee "on" 07/04 "at"10:43 PM
I feel guilty because my pores will be blocked up
Posted by Emmahammy:) "on" 07/04 "at"10:37 PM
I only go to bed when I’m exhausted and I’m often too tired :(
Posted by kadee "on" 07/04 "at"10:28 PM
I only forget to take it off if I’ve run out of remover - turns out soap and water isn’t nearly as good!
Posted by kelsimay42 "on" 07/04 "at"10:25 PM
I am guilty of this almost every night, looking after my cheeky 2 year old daughter bed time can’t wait a second longer!
Posted by sylvs.mum "on" 07/04 "at"10:05 PM
Guilty - usually in the weekends when I’ve been out late.
Posted by 29053 "on" 07/04 "at"10:03 PM
im guilty of leaving make up on.. just get a bit lazy at the end of the day.
Posted by sarahclark "on" 07/04 "at"10:02 PM
I almost always remove my makeup or it drives me mad, but on occasion I am just too tired
Posted by 30148 "on" 07/04 "at"09:22 PM
Although I love my skin I often just get too tired!
Posted by nicko "on" 07/04 "at"09:05 PM
I am guilty of leaving make up on after a night out because in winter its to cold in the bathroom so i go to cuddle warm bed xo!
Posted by gem2nv "on" 07/04 "at"09:00 PM
By the time i have done everything in the evening,  im just too tired and lazy to do it, also to many messy products!
Posted by vsheary "on" 07/04 "at"08:56 PM
Work or a party but I just can’t be bothered taking it off, most of it ends p coming of the pillow anyway…
Posted by Jd2000 "on" 07/04 "at"08:54 PM
Actually, I always take my make up off at night, but I only use soap and water. Not too great for my skin.
Posted by Corelliz "on" 07/04 "at"08:40 PM
I am G-U-I-L-T-Y. I dont remove them because its so hard to get rid of the make up and i hurt my eyes and scratch my face.. so i reckon owning a dove foaming make-up remover will be the best thing that will ever happen to me!!!!!!!!
Posted by yeehyaah_04 "on" 07/04 "at"07:52 PM
Can NEVER be bothered after a night out.. all I wanna do when i get home is go to sleep!
Posted by stues835 "on" 07/04 "at"07:45 PM
Guilty as charged…..I dont take my make up off before going tobed and get up in the morning then reapply…..can I please have diversion….
Posted by Flutterfly "on" 07/04 "at"07:19 PM
I am guilty of forgetting to remove my makeup after a night out. I would love to try the Dove and then maybe I won’t have any more ‘forgetting relapses’ after a late night out
Posted by 9481 "on" 07/04 "at"06:50 PM
I am guilty because whenever it comes time to go to bed i am always too tired and cant be bothered to take my make up off.
Posted by XSherbertxx "on" 07/04 "at"06:35 PM
i’m guilty because the make up removers i have tried don’t work :/ so i leave it on a lot of the times or try to get it off, but it would be cool to try this make up remover and see if it does take me make-up off smile
Posted by Georgiaa. "on" 07/04 "at"06:30 PM
I think that everyone here pretty much has the same answer. They get home late or are extremely tired and just can’t be bothered the slow and boring process of wiping(sometimes scrubbing extremely hard)their face, getting cleanser in your eyes because you can’t find the towel to wipe your face. I think that this cleanser would be a quick and painless way to remove makeup. Would love to give it a go!!
Posted by missymoo "on" 07/04 "at"06:27 PM
I try not to go to bed with make-up on, but I am guilty of being so tired that all I want to do is get into bed. Being winter doesn’t help either, even more reason to just want to cosy up under the covers. But if I am lucky enough to win I will make sure I take the time and use this fantastic looking, new product from DOVE.
Posted by Gemkitten "on" 07/04 "at"06:03 PM
This cleanser sounds wonderful!!! I am guilty as of leaving make up on and then sleeping :( I do it because I can never find a makeup remover that acctually takes all your make up off with out scrubbing for ages, which makes my skin rash or doesn’t cost far too much.
Posted by Ellie_xox "on" 07/04 "at"06:00 PM
I’m guilty of leaving make up on everynight, i can’t find the right product and when i run out of clenser or make up remover i turn to soap which agitates my skin. We would all love to try dove including me because it wont aggitate my skin smile
Posted by Amybear "on" 07/04 "at"05:57 PM
Im so slack espesh when I get home late after a hockey game and I just cant be bothered to get the cotton pads and then scrub my face raw…. Guilty as charged!!
Posted by Mishka "on" 07/04 "at"05:54 PM
Sometimes I just can’t be bothered to follow a fiddly skin care regime at night time. But this new Dove make up remover sounds quick and easy.
Posted by 21735 "on" 07/04 "at"05:18 PM
I have to join everyone else, it normally panda bear eyes and sallow skin, in the morning, I am just lazy, This sounds just what I need, a tingly fresh remover to make my skin feel fresh, and make me want to use it.
Posted by carmar89 "on" 07/04 "at"05:01 PM
I’m definitely guilty! I have a 6 months old baby girl so by the time it’s bed time, I just want to sleep! I regret it in the morning though.
Posted by nthompson54 "on" 07/04 "at"04:39 PM
I’m shocking! I have NEVER ever taken my make up off at night! I have panda eyes every morning! I’m now 33 and the advice I can give to the younger girls is TAKE IT OFF!
Posted by kano11 "on" 07/04 "at"04:32 PM
I am guilty of leaving my makeup on after getting home after a late or hectic night. Part of that is never finding a makeup remover thats gentle and easy to take the makeup off.
Posted by Bonnz "on" 07/04 "at"04:22 PM
im really bad at not takeing my make up off before i go to bed i really need to get into the habit of takein it off kinda wreckin my pillow cases
Posted by l.a123 "on" 07/04 "at"03:29 PM
I just Love how i look with my make up and im ashamed of what i look without it , but thats not the only reason after a long day i just want to snuggle in my bed , have to admit it quite Lazy ..... :Z
Posted by Mbreezy "on" 07/04 "at"03:24 PM
by the end of a busy day all i want to do is cuddle up in my warm bed and fall asleep, so washing my makeup off just takes too long and you have to scrub for so long, so i would love to try the new dove product to make it quicker for me to cuddle up in bed and sleep without having a makeup full pillow case.
Posted by brittenie "on" 07/04 "at"03:07 PM
I always try to remove my make up and when I do forget I usually get up and try to clean it off half asleep.
Posted by saffron "on" 07/04 "at"03:02 PM
It’s far too tempting to just flop into bed at the end of each day so a new product would be a great incentive to be a good girl and wash my makeup off!
Posted by Louise1 "on" 07/04 "at"02:55 PM
Yes, I am guilty of leaving on make up after a long day - just ssooooo very tired, I wash my face in the mornings before reapplying makeup.  Slack.
Posted by Bobbie "on" 07/04 "at"02:46 PM
I’m terrible at removing my makeup properly, especially after coming home after a night out. All I want to go is hop into my warm bed and sleep. Very slack of me!
Posted by 6296 "on" 07/04 "at"02:34 PM
I never do! It’s the worst thing you can do to your skin - I always try to clean it off before, and even if I don’t get a chance to properly wash it, I’ll use a cleansing face wipe.
Posted by Remy "on" 07/04 "at"02:08 PM
I am guilty of sometimes leaving my makeup on because I haven’t spent the money on getting proper makeup remover :(
Posted by melissa18 "on" 07/04 "at"01:39 PM
i am the worst at leaving my makeup on :/ , im either to tired to or dont want to go through the pain of scrubbing with the flannel too hard !
Posted by reeeedy "on" 07/04 "at"01:39 PM
Im usually pretty good with taking my makeup off before bed… but i do slip up every now and again..
Posted by BettinaFrances "on" 07/04 "at"12:57 PM
I really don’t want wrinkles and break outs so I always take off my make up at the end of the day! I’m always on the look out for prodcuts that make it easy and quick so thanks for letting me know about Dove smile
Posted by spaino "on" 07/04 "at"12:36 PM
I’m a mum of two under 2, at the end of a long makeup wearing day sometimes I just collapse into bed, full face of makeup and all hehe.
Posted by helly "on" 07/04 "at"11:48 AM
No, no .no. No matter how tired I am, I am a stickler for removing my makeup….
Posted by armadale "on" 07/04 "at"11:45 AM
Sometimes i just cant be bothered taking off my makeup at night, it just takes waaayy to long! Hopefully this will work!
Posted by 45230 "on" 07/04 "at"11:34 AM
I am so tired at the end of the day i just crash in my bed and forget to remove all my makeup Dove sounds great and so quick and easy.
Posted by simote "on" 07/04 "at"11:22 AM
I adore my skin so wearing makeup to bed is a big NO
Posted by huynhnga1712 "on" 07/04 "at"10:49 AM
I am guilty of leaving makeup on because I forget that I am wearing it, or am too tired to properly remove it all. Would love to try this new cleanser from Dove! Sounds like it works really well!
Posted by BekaBee "on" 07/04 "at"10:48 AM
I am guilty of leaving make up on after a night out :/ . I come home and am too tired to scrub my face for ages trying to get make up off.
