How it works
As a cleansing water, this product is built to dissolve oil-based buildup like makeup, sunscreen, and sebum that a water-based cleanser alone struggles to lift. Its oil or micellar base binds to that buildup on contact rather than needing to be worked in with water first. Massaging it over dry skin gives the oils time to loosen debris from the surface and pores. Rinsing or wiping then carries that dissolved buildup away. Used as the first half of a double cleanse, it leaves a water-based cleanser with far less work left to do.
Key benefits
- ETUDE Korean-market cleansing water, 250 ml
- A no-rinse cleansing step for makeup and light everyday buildup
- Ships with its Korean barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label
How to use
- Use the PPOYAN Lip & Eye Remover before you cleanse in the evening, on eye and lip makeup only, while the face is still dry.
- Soak a cotton pad, hold it flat against closed eyes or over the lips for about twenty seconds so the makeup lifts on its own, then draw it away in one direction.
- It comes before the cleanse, not instead of it. Follow with your usual first cleanse over the whole face and then the second, so nothing it loosened is left sitting on the skin.
- On the evenings you have worn eye or lip makeup, and only those. Do not spread it over the whole face; it is built for the two areas a face cleanser is not meant to go, and the rest of the face is the cleanser's job.
When do I use PPOYAN Lip & Eye Remover?
PPOYAN Lip & Eye Remover is a no-rinse cleansing step for makeup and light everyday buildup. Work it into your routine at that point rather than swapping it in for a different step, since the timing is part of how a Korean routine sequences a cleansing water.
How much PPOYAN Lip & Eye Remover should I use?
A little goes further than it looks: most people use a coin-sized amount or a few pumps for the face, then adjust up or down once they see how their skin responds over the first week.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea?
Yes. This is the Korean-market ETUDE release, imported with its original Korean-language packaging, barcode, and batch code intact, rather than a version reformulated or repackaged for US retail. We check that batch code against the one on the box before it ships, instead of relying on the listing alone.
Can I use PPOYAN Lip & Eye Remover if I have sensitive skin?
Patch test on the inner arm before the first full-face application, as with any new formula, and watch for redness or stinging over the following day before working it into daily use.
How long does one 250 ml of PPOYAN Lip & Eye Remover last?
That depends on how much you apply each time and how often, but a typical full-size bottle used once or twice a day generally lasts one to two months for most people.

Ingredient list read from moidaus.com on 30 August 2026.
22 of 24 explained
- Water / Aqua / Eau solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate emollient
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly.
- C9-12 Alkane solvent
- A light plant-derived hydrocarbon that evaporates off skin, used in place of a volatile silicone. It carries other ingredients and then leaves.
- C18-21 Alkane emollient
- A saturated hydrocarbon emollient in the same family as squalane, usually made from plant sugar or plant oil. It gives a dry, silicone like slip without a greasy finish.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Isododecane solvent
- Isododecane is a light, volatile hydrocarbon. It carries pigments and film formers on smoothly and then evaporates, leaving the film behind and nothing oily.
- Hexylene Glycol solvent
- Hexylene Glycol is a solvent and light humectant. It keeps ingredients that resist water in solution and thins a formula so it spreads evenly.
- Sodium Chloride thickener
- Sodium Chloride is salt. In a cleanser it thickens the liquid; in a mask or essence it balances the mineral content of the water phase. It has no active role.
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate emollient
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a coconut-derived ester used as a light, dry emollient in place of silicone. It spreads far and leaves a soft finish.
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside surfactant
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a sugar-derived cleansing surfactant. It foams modestly and is mild enough for low-pH cleansers built for reactive skin.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Dipotassium Phosphate pH adjuster
- Dipotassium Phosphate is a buffer salt. Paired with its more acidic partner it holds a formula at a steady pH.
10 more explained
- Sodium Metaphosphate chelator
- A phosphate salt that ties up metal ions in water. It also stops the calcium and magnesium in hard water from flattening a cleanser foam.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Potassium Phosphate pH adjuster
- Potassium Phosphate is a buffer salt used to hold a formula at the pH its actives need.
- Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate ferment
- Barley fermented with brewing yeast and strained clear. Fermentation breaks the grain starch and protein into sugars, peptides and B vitamins that hold water.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil emollient
- Rice Bran Oil is pressed from the bran left over from milling rice. It carries vitamin E and a group of rice-specific antioxidants, and it is a light emollient.
- Monascus/Rice Ferment ferment
- Rice fermented with monascus, the mould behind red yeast rice. The ferment is naturally deep red and is used as a conditioning ferment.
- Tocopherol antioxidant
- Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.

Worth knowing
- Keep away from the eyes when using on a dry face, and remove eye makeup separately with a gentler product if it stings.
- Rinse thoroughly if using as an oil cleanser, since leftover oil residue can feel heavy if not fully emulsified.
