We have analyzed all the makeup removers from Mercadona.

Removing makeup every night is mandatory for those who use different cosmetics daily to make their face more beautiful, with better color or more cheerful. Otherwise, in the long run, makeup, blushes, or eyeshadow, for example, can be harmful to the complexion and lead to the formation of blackheads or oily skin and the development of acne.

When you use a makeup remover, you do not only remove the product from the face, but you also manage to remove all the dead skin cells and different pollutants that can accumulate throughout the day. This oxygenates the skin.

The ideal is to remove makeup correctly, use a specific product for cleaning the eyes and then apply the night moisturizer. Sometimes it can be combined with micellar water for better facial cleansing and better skin care.

At the same time, we have that the Deliplus brand of Mercadona supermarkets is very popular among consumers of cosmetic products. One of its main characteristics is its low price.

For all this, I have created this guide which I think will be very useful about Mercadona’s makeup removers, with a detailed analysis of each. Personally, every day I put on foundation, blush, very natural eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. And, when I get home, after taking off my shoes, I carry out my cleaning routine.

Deliplus Hydrating Facial Tonic

Firstly, it is important to remember that tonic is a liquid that, in addition to having the ability to remove makeup and clean the skin very efficiently, also hydrates and closes pores. It is a cleanser that is characterized by being very cheap.

Regarding ingredients, I couldn’t see them until I got to the store, as it is not easy to find specific information about the brand’s products on the Internet. Among others, it contains Provit S, which is a complex that combines vitamins A, B, E, F, and H and horse chestnut. But there are others that are more difficult to decipher because they are chemical products.

It is applied by pouring liquid onto cotton. It can be used to clean the face, neck, and décolleté but the eye area should be avoided. The bottle does not have a dispenser, so if we are not careful, more tonic comes out than necessary and soaks the cotton. Therefore, it must be done carefully.

As a positive point, we have that if the face is dirty from pollution and other agents that affect us daily, the cleaning is noticeable, since the cotton comes out brown. And it also refreshes.

As a negative point is that it only cleans the surface and leaves the face quite dry. And that, at the same time, it does not seem to facilitate the subsequent absorption of the night moisturizer. There are makeup removers that do prepare the skin for it.

Dermik Deliplus Micellar Water

Micellar water has become very fashionable for facial cleansing due to its efficiency. You already know that a basic for me is the one from Nezeni Cosmetics brand, which we already analyzed on this portal, but in this case, I am going to tell you my opinion about the one from Mercadona’s Dermik brand.

Micellar water cleanses, removes makeup, and softens the skin. Its main characteristic is that it is a liquid formulated with micelles, which are molecules that attract dirt and sebum from the face. These micelles are like a magnet for impurities.

A very useful idea is to use micellar water, in addition to as a cleanser at night, before applying makeup in the morning. With the face free from impurities, it is easier for the makeup to be more luminous and natural.

To apply this product, you need a cotton pad and moisten it carefully. The bottle, as we said about Deliplus tonic, does not have a dispenser so you have to make sure not to take out too much. After this, it is not necessary to rinse the face with water.

It can be used to clean the eyes but it really takes a while to remove the black from the eyeliner and mascara. I find this very negative. I feel that it lacks efficiency in its task of leaving the face truly clean.

Among the ingredients, we find a long list of chemical and natural products. Among others: Aqua, glycerin, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, betaine, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, bisabolol, allantoin, among many others.

Something I also always miss in most of Mercadona’s cosmetic products is that the properties of each ingredient are not detailedly explained. And I think it is always important to know what we put on our skin. It leaves the skin more hydrated than the aforementioned tonic. And as for smell, it hardly has any.

Deliplus Hydrating Cleansing Milk

Cleansing milk is probably the most traditional method of those still in use now for cleaning the skin at night. Over the years, it has lost popularity.

It may be because it is not entirely recommended for people with oily skin. But it is still an existing option, which leaves the skin very hydrated only during the cleansing process. And useful for those with dry skin.

It removes makeup after a couple of passes, without the need to rub and eyes must be avoided and also the lips because it leaves a bad taste.

As a cleanser, it works, although it smells like chemicals, which is explained when looking at the ingredients. There are many and many of them chemicals.

In fact, something really noteworthy is that the second ingredient is paraffin. This component gives a great feeling of softness on the skin and, in fact, makes it seem that the complexion is very hydrated.

But in reality, what it does is create a layer over the skin, preventing it from breathing, which leads to the creation of blackheads, and on top, it prevents the face from absorbing correctly the cream that you apply afterward to go to sleep.

Mercadona Gold Progress Makeup Remover Oil

This makeup remover oil had just a few days ago its own full analysis. Here we make a summary, to remember and to fit it within the rest of the products of this list from Mercadona’s brand.

Firstly, it is worth remembering that makeup remover oils have become very fashionable for the ease with which they can quickly drag away dirt, makeup, and impurities without the need to rub.

As we had already detailed, the INCI with all the ingredients, is the following: Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Polysorbate 20, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Pentylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum, Disodium Phosphate, Disodium EDTA, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Acetyl Heptapeptide-9, Colloidal Gold.

And always remember that this listing goes from highest to lowest. That is, the first one indicated is the one that makes up the most percentage of the concentrate and so on. It contains gold particles (a very small amount really. It’s more marketing than real properties) that give the product its name and give it a more sophisticated look. It is safe for skin and also for eyes.

Something very positive is that in this case, you can do without cotton, so less waste is generated. It should be applied with the fingertips on the face, eye contour, eyelashes, and lips. Then the skin is moistened with water and, by performing a circular massage, the dirt is removed. To finish, everything is rinsed with water.

This makeup remover oil hydrates in addition to cleaning, which is very positive especially for those with dry skin. As a negative point, apart from including some chemicals that make me doubt that it is healthy, is that it is quite dense. This leads to this oil not being easy to apply.

I use quite a bit of product to get the results, so the bottle lasts less than other more efficient products. Fortunately, its price is low.

Makeup Remover Wipes for Normal and Combination Skin

First, I have to say that I feel that makeup remover wipes generate too much waste for their function, which is bad for the environment. So in the case of the analysis of this product, you will notice me a bit negative.

It is true that this format is convenient for traveling, on plane trips where you do not check a suitcase and the liquid you can transport is limited.

About wipes, there are three different makeup removers of the same brand, another is for dry and sensitive skin and there are others that are with foam. But here we will focus on those for normal skin.

This product is intended for normal and combination skin. Those with oily skin should avoid it. Mainly because it is a product that slightly greases the skin.

As positive points, we find that they are hypoallergenic and have a neutral PH. Anyway, they also indicate that without alcohol but looking at the back among the ingredients it appears that it does have alcohol (cetaryl alcohol).

They have a perfume scent that I like but that, for people very sensitive to odors, can be annoying.

It is good that it is not necessary to rub to remove makeup from the skin well and does not leave shine on the face. It can also be used for the eyes and this is specified by the package.

Although it also says that it is for lips and, indeed it can be used to remove lipstick, but it leaves a soap taste. If you are not careful and run your tongue over the outside of your mouth, you will be left with a bad taste. And for permanent lipsticks, you have to go over several times.

Deliplus Mercadona Eye Makeup Remover

There are several of the products listed in this list that cannot be used for the eyes. This forces us to resort to a product that can clean this area. Personally, it is the one I like to makeup the most, because well-painted eyes give a lot of luminosity to the face. But also you have to be even more careful in that area because it is very sensitive.

With a poor quality makeup remover, in addition to damaging that region of the skin, you have to rub a lot to remove the mascara and black line correctly and that can be very harmful.

In this case, we are going to talk about the Deliplus eye makeup remover, which has a very soft gel texture. It should be applied to a cotton makeup remover disc, in small amounts so that it does not enter the eye, and clean the area.

If it does not come off in one go, which usually happens, then you have to use more. This makeup remover comes in a slightly hard plastic bottle with a dosing cap.

If you use very powerful mascara, then this may not be the best eye makeup remover you should buy.

As for ingredients, it contains water, glycerin, panthenol, sorbitol, and some more chemicals that are not entirely healthy, such as penoxyethanol or capric glycerides. As always, Mercadona does not explain the origin of each of the ingredients, something I always miss.

Favorite Alternative: Nezeni Cosmetics Makeup Remover Options

Yes, I am referring to the makeup removers of this brand in general, because I am fascinated by all the facial cleansing products of this brand. I have tried them all and I have to say, I wouldn’t know which one to choose.

The truth is that the entire facial line of Nezeni seems outstanding to me, because the brand cares about the health of our skin in a visible way, in its natural and non-toxic formulations.

So the most sensible thing, I thought, is to tell you a little about each of the makeup removers that the brand offers and so you can choose better which one to keep. Here is all the information:

• Facial Cleansing Oil: If you are looking for a product that has an oily texture but that is not at all greasy, this is your cleanser. It is made with more than seven different oils and has a total of 10 active ingredients. Removes waterproof makeup and leaves the skin completely clean, without any dirt residue.
• Biphasic makeup remover/ facial cleanser: Since it comes in two phases, you will have to mix it well to use it, shaking it before using it. Its oily phase and its aqueous phase are activated in a very soft foam with which you will clean (with damp skin) any trace that appears of long-lasting makeup or of dirt, grease or sweat. A deep clean!
• Cleansing Milk Facial: It is another of the great favorites, with a creamy texture, you will immediately notice how your skin is left clean and hydrated.
• Micellar Water: A micellar water cannot be missing in our routine, because as you already know these products in addition to refreshing the skin immediately also are capable of removing the heaviest residues that are embedded in our face. All, thanks to the micelles and to the natural actives that you will find in this cleanser.

Now that you know all these options, I can confess that, personally, I prefer to spend more on a cleaning product. Skin care also matters for health and I am a big fan of natural and efficient products, like those from Nezeni.

The savings on the products mentioned from Mercadona throughout the post I think do not compensate for the results. Besides… health comes first!.
