What it is used for
This cleanser is designed for the professional special effects makeup environment, where maximum-hold adhesives and makeups are the norm. It is the ideal solution when you need to completely remove makeup at the end of a session without irritating the actor's or model's skin:
- Removal of facial prosthetic adhesive residues and silicone pieces
- Makeup removal of waterproof makeups around the eyes, mouth and full face
- Cleansing of Skin Illustrator products (palettes and liquids)
- Skin preparation for a new makeup or adhesive session
- Daily use on long shoots where skin needs care as well as cleansing
- Sensitive skin that cannot tolerate alcohol-based or other harsh solvent cleansers
How to use it
- Apply a generous amount of cream directly to the area you want to clean: adhered prosthetic, makeup or adhesive residue.
- Gently massage with fingertips or a sponge using circular motions to loosen the adhesive or makeup.
- Leave on for a few seconds if the adhesive is heavily set or the makeup is high-resistance.
- Remove with a gauze, cotton pad or soft wipe. Repeat the application if any residue remains.
- Rinse with warm water if desired, though this is not necessary thanks to the non-greasy formula.
- Skin is left clean, soft and moisturised by the action of vitamins D, E and allantoin.
Usage tips
Working temperature
Store the product at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. In very cold conditions the cream may thicken slightly; in that case, warm it for a few seconds between your palms before applying to restore its optimal consistency.
Comparison with other cleansers
For heavily cured adhesive residues or thick layers of silicone-based makeup, you can combine this cleanser with the Telesis Silicone Remover as a first pass, then use the Make-Up Remover as the final cleaning and skin-care step. If you work with oil-based makeups or need a more specific solvent, Isopropyl Myristate is a complementary alternative.
Hygiene and container contamination
Always use a clean spatula or dispenser to extract the product from the container. Inserting dirty fingers or tools can contaminate the cream and shorten its shelf life. If you are working with several actors on set, decant the required amount into an auxiliary container for each session.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to use around the eyes?
Yes. Telesis Silicone Make-Up Remover is formulated to be gentle enough for use in the periocular area, lips and full face. It contains no alcohol or harsh solvents, making it suitable for sensitive skin and contact with delicate areas.
Can it be used to remove silicone prosthetics bonded with adhesive?
Yes, it is specifically designed to remove facial prosthetic adhesive residues. For very thick or heavily cured adhesive layers, it is recommended to first use the Telesis Silicone Remover and finish with the Make-Up Remover to clean the last residues and condition the skin.
Can I use it on sensitive or irritation-prone skin?
Its alcohol-free formula, enriched with vitamins D and E and allantoin, makes it especially suitable for sensitive skin. That said, if the actor has a specific dermatological condition, it is advisable to carry out a patch test on a small area before applying it over larger surfaces.
Does it remove waterproof makeups?
Yes. It is effective against waterproof makeups, including the high-hold eye makeups commonly used in professional character work and in Skin Illustrator line products.
Do I need to rinse with water after using it?
It is not necessary. The non-greasy texture of the cream allows it to be removed simply with a gauze or cotton pad. If you prefer, you can rinse with warm water for a more complete clean feeling, especially after long shooting days.
What is the difference between this cleanser and Telesis Super Solv Plus?
Telesis Super Solv Plus is a more powerful solvent, intended for cleaning tools, brushes and surfaces, and for removing heavily cured adhesives. Telesis Silicone Make-Up Remover, on the other hand, is formulated for direct skin contact, with a much gentler safety profile and ingredients that care for the skin during the cleansing process.
Can it be used as an everyday facial cleanser outside the SFX context?
Its formula is gentle and could be used as a general makeup remover, but it is optimised for the professional special effects environment, where makeups and adhesives have a much higher hold than conventional cosmetics. For standard everyday cosmetic use, it may be more powerful than necessary.
Does it also work for cleaning makeup tools and brushes?
It can help clean brushes with greasy makeup or foundation residue, but for cleaning tools with cured adhesives or silicone residues, Telesis Super Solv Plus is more effective, as it has greater solvent power.
