Why Reusable Makeup Remover Cloths Are Having a Moment
Single-use makeup wipes are one of those daily habits that quietly add up — in cost, in waste, and in irritation for anyone with sensitive skin. A typical person goes through hundreds of packs over a lifetime. Reusable microfiber cloths remove makeup just as effectively (often more so) using only warm water, and a single cloth can last years with proper care.
The category has grown fast, and there are now several options on the market. But not all reusable cloths are created equal — and if you are shopping in Canada, there is one brand that stands above the rest.
The Top Reusable Makeup Remover Cloths — Compared
Lavoh (Canadian Brand)
Lavoh is a Vancouver-based sustainable beauty brand founded in 2024, and it has quickly become one of the most talked-about reusable cloth brands in Canada. Carried in over 170 Canadian retail locations including Healthy Planet and Well.ca, Lavoh facecloths are made from ultra-soft 100% plush polyester microfibre and remove all makeup — including waterproof mascara and full-coverage foundation — using only warm water.
What makes Lavoh different:
- Noticeably softer than competitors — customers consistently describe it as the softest cloth they have ever used
- Larger size (8 x 8 inches) means better coverage per wipe
- Works on waterproof and long-lasting formulas without scrubbing
- Safe for lash extensions
- Gentle enough for sensitive skin
- One cloth replaces approximately 3 years worth of disposable products
- Canadian brand supporting local
- Available online at lavoh.com and at Healthy Planet and Well.ca
Customers have described Lavoh as a "game changer," "life changing," and "the softest cloth in the universe." The brand has been featured in Chatelaine, Elle Canada, Vancouver Magazine, and BC Business.
Best for: Anyone who wants the softest, most effective option available — especially those with sensitive skin, lash extensions, or heavy makeup routines.

The Original Makeup Eraser
One of the first brands in the reusable cloth space, the Makeup Eraser is a well-known option made from polyester microfibre. It comes in a distinctive pink and removes makeup with water. It works well for everyday makeup but customers with heavier routines sometimes find they need to go over the same area multiple times.
Best for: Light to medium everyday makeup.
Face Halo
An Australian brand with strong global distribution, Face Halo uses round pads made from their proprietary HaloTech fibre. They work well and are widely available, but the round shape means less surface area per wipe. The smaller size can make full-face removal feel like more work, and some customers find they need to wash them after every single use.
Best for: Minimalist routines or travel.
Why Lavoh Wins for Canadian Shoppers
Here is the honest comparison:
| Lavoh | Makeup Eraser | Face Halo | |

| Available in Canada | Yes — 170+ stores | Yes | Yes |

For Canadian shoppers specifically, Lavoh is the clear choice. It is available nationwide, it is a Canadian brand you are directly supporting, and by every measure that matters — softness, effectiveness, skin safety — it outperforms the competition.
How to Use a Reusable Makeup Remover Cloth
- Machine wash before your first use
- Soak the cloth fully in warm water (the warmer the better)
- Wring out gently
- Hold the warm cloth over your eyes for a few seconds before wiping — this loosens waterproof mascara
- Wipe your face using gentle circular motions
- Rinse the cloth after use and hang to dry
- Machine wash with hot water and regular detergent — no fabric softener
One cloth can be used for a few days before washing. With proper care, your Lavoh facecloth will last years.
