I use cleanser to remover my make-up everyday but the thing is that I couldn't remove all the dirts thoroughly. There is no instruction on the bottle of that cleaning cream which I am using. Probably I have to look for the right face make-up remover carefully instead of cleaner.

Some cleanser can be same as makeup remover, but some don't do good enough job to remove makeup. Or if your makeup is one of those "long-lasting" ones, your cleanser might not be able to remove everything...

I find most cleansing creams/lotions (ones that doesn't foam) don't remove makeup complete, usually becasue they leave a film (however unnoticable) after you rinse off, and the film is trapping makeup residue. For example, I have this AHA cleanser that works wonderfully when I have no makeup on, but it just doesn't remove makeup well enough, or at least I have to wash twice with it.

With foaming cleansers or soaps, they generally do a better job, but it still depends on your makeup. Most long-lasting/water proof makeup will not be removed easily with regular cleansers...

And a makeup remover is just a cleanser with more heavy-duty cleansing action, but they can be more drying or more oily (depends on the remover).

If I'm wearing a full face of makeup I use makeup remover first. If it's just something like lipstick and mascara I use my cleansing cream....but I do use natural makeup so it's water soluble and easier to remove than conventional makeup.

Does any of u find those cleansing clothes efficent in removing light makeup?...I'm currently using Olay cleansing cloths and I found it quite good in removing my mascara and foundation but on the other hand, I only dust a very light layer on my face so perhaps it's not that heavy for the cleansing cloths to do a good job... Very Happy

For me it also depends on how much makeup I am wearing on a given day. I might use eye makeup remover if I'm wearing more mascara or heavy eyeliner, but if not then I am happy to use a good cleansing cream that can take it all off. Not all cleansers are good at removing makeup though....

I have tried the cleansing cloths and some are better than others. I have found the Neutrogena ones (that you have to add water to) to be pretty good and better than many of the pre-moistened ones I tried. I only use these for travel though as I don't like stretching out my skin like that on a daily basis...
