Celavive Makeup Remover Guide
You wash your face, you think it is clean, and the next morning your makeup still will not sit right. Often the problem is not the serum — it is the very first step.
Celavive has two makeup removers, and they are not two versions of the same thing. They are built for different kinds of makeup.

Why Makeup Removal Is Its Own Step
Makeup, sunscreen, and the pollutants that settle on skin during the day are mostly not water-friendly. Water alone will not shift them, and a cleanser is not designed to do that job on its own. That is why the official Celavive routine treats removal and cleansing as two actions inside step one — at night you do both, in sequence.
The Two Options, Side by Side
| Conditioning Makeup Remover | Bi-Phase Makeup Remover | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | A gentle micellar water for everyday makeup; leaves skin comfortable and prepped for the next step | A two-phase formula for long-wear and waterproof makeup, described as removing makeup while conditioning, without an oily film |
| Best for | Everyday makeup, sunscreen, visible daytime grime | Long-wear and waterproof makeup, plus dirt and oil |
| How it works | Water-based micellar formula — micelles attract and lift away impurities; no rinsing needed, no residue | Two phases, shaken before use; gentle emollients dissolve makeup while botanical extracts cool and hydrate; described as non-comedogenic |
| Key ingredients | Micellar water, squalane, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate (a coconut-derived emollient) | Cucumber fruit extract complex, oil-free emollients (cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, glycerin), aloe leaf juice |
| 2025 update | 66% more product per bottle, now fragrance-free to reduce irritation for sensitive or blemish-prone skin | Newer addition to the range |
Both are listed for all skin types, and neither contains artificial colours, parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, or phenoxyethanol.
How to Use Each One
Conditioning Makeup Remover — the first step of your evening routine, usable daily. Saturate a cotton pad and sweep it gently over the face. No rinsing required. If you double cleanse, follow it with your cleanser and rinse.
Bi-Phase Makeup Remover — also the first step at night, usable daily. Shake the bottle first, apply a small amount to a cotton pad, then sweep gently over eyes, lips, and face. Follow with your cleanser and continue your routine.
In both cases, the step after removal is the cleanser — for normal, combination, or oily skin that is usually the Creamy Foam Cleanser.
What Users Report
The product pages summarise typical feedback in appearance and comfort terms: for the Conditioning Makeup Remover, a quick routine (no rinsing, no residue) and skin that feels soft and hydrated afterwards; for the Bi-Phase, low irritation, the ability to take off waterproof makeup, and skin that looks smoother with more refined-looking pores and a brighter-looking complexion.
Worth keeping in mind: those are descriptions of how skin looks and feels. Celavive is a cosmetic range and is not intended to treat clinical skin conditions such as acne or rosacea.
