The Viral Dissolving Spray From One/Size Makes It So Much Easier To Remove Makeup

Taking off makeup can be a struggle. More likely than not, you've come home from a late night, ready to hit the hay, when you realize you still have on your full face of glam. Although you could forgo removing your makeup, experts don't recommend this. Dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, told Real Simple that sleeping in your makeup has negative consequences. He said, "Makeup physically blocks the pores, preventing oil from leaving the skin and leading to breakouts." Zeichner added that it could also cause the skin to develop an allergic reaction. Luckily, there are innovations in the beauty industry that are making removing your makeup a breeze.

This includes micellar water, cleansing balm, makeup wipes, and the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist. In the summer of 2020, internet sensation Patrick Starr unveiled his beauty line ONE/SIZE. Starr told Refinery29 that his brand is all about inclusivity and ease. One of the first products Starr launched was his GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist. The formula is cruelty-free, vegan, and paraben-free. In addition, ingredients like jojoba and rosehip oil ensure your skin stays moist and plump. The product promises that your makeup will melt right off with only a few sprays. This makes it a more effortless and environmentally friendly alternative to single-use makeup removers.

To use the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist, ONE/SIZE's website recommends you spray the mist 8-10 inches away from your face until the product is evenly distributed. When this step is complete, massage it into the skin to allow the mist to break down your makeup properly. You can then wipe it all off. While Patrick Starr says that he pairs the mist with makeup wipes, reviewers from Allure and Insider reported that the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist effectively removed their makeup without using makeup wipes. Allure's Nicola Dall'Asen wrote that after she sprayed her face, she used a damp cloth to wipe off her makeup.

Amanda Krause from Insider stated that she used a reusable makeup cloth. Both writers note that they do not like using makeup wipes in their beauty routine, and with good reason. Experts say that you should quit using makeup remover wipes. Makeup wipes and their packaging are not environmentally friendly and continue to accumulate in landfills. Although convenient and affordable, they are not good for your skin either. Dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss told InStyle that makeup wipes contain troubling and irritating ingredients. She added that tugging at your skin with a makeup wipe can lead to micro-tears that age you faster. 

So instead of reaching for a makeup wipe, why not spray it all off? In a TikTok, user @iambrihall demonstrates how easily the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist did the job. She, too, used a reusable makeup cloth to wipe off the rest of her makeup. 

In a review for Insider, Amanda Krause wrote that the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist has a slight rose scent and made her skin oily after using it. This is something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to fragrance or already have oily skin. Nevertheless, she raved about the product and said it removed her makeup "in a quick and effortless way." Nicola Dall'Asen from Allure had a similar sentiment and noted that it was extremely gentle on her skin. She said, "Because Go Off isn't as thick as a balm or a traditional oil cleanser, I don't have to worry about it getting in my eyes."

Both praised the product's abilities, and they were not alone. Consumers on TikTok also gave their stamp of approval. In her video, user @kensnation stares at the camera in awe as she swiftly wipes away her makeup with a cloth towel after spraying her face. She says the entire process took 30 seconds. In another video, TikTok user @brookeschofield1 says that using the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist is "my favorite part of every night" because she can easily take off her makeup in the shower.

Likewise, Sephora beauty adviser @olivia.vaphiades said that the product is one of the makeup removers on the market. To ensure you remove all of your makeup, double cleanse after using the GO OFF Makeup Dissolving Mist for the best results.
