Our cream lash extension remover has been a staple in our product range for over 7 years, and you guys sell it out consistently! But for those who haven’t tried it yet, here’s a breakdown of what makes a cream based lash remover the perfect choice for your next lash remover.
Cream lash removers vs. gel lash removers
There are two main types of lash removers: cream and gel. Cream based lash remover is used for full lash removals, where a gel lash extension remover has a low viscosity texture and can be used for infills. While gel lash removers have their place for many lash techs, we always opt for cream based removers due to the below benefits and use the ‘banana peel’ technique for any removals needed at infill appointments.
Benefits of cream lash extension remover
Controlled application
The texture of our cream lash remover is thicker in consistency, which makes it easier to control around the sensitive eye area as you don’t have to worry about run off. The cream remover is a thick, paste-like texture, which makes placement easy and simple.
Reduced irritation for clients
Gel based removers, alternatively, are low viscosity and can run into the eyes, causing discomfort for clients. Cream lash removers offer all of the effectiveness of gel, without the risk of the product running, allowing for an altogether more comfortable experience for your clients.

How to apply cream lash remover safely
Cream lash remover is so popular as it’s really simple to use. All you need to do is:
- Use a foam applicator to apply a small amount of product to the lash extensions
- Leave for 5-10 minutes to break down the adhesive bond.
- You can apply cling film over the remover to aid the adhesive breakdown process, but it’s not completely necessary.
- Use the foam applicator to work the lash extensions from the natural lashes, pulling gently where needed.
- Once the lashes have been removed, cleanse the lashes with a foaming lash cleanser to remove any cream residue, leaving you with the perfect base for a fresh set of extensions!
Infill removal techniques
For infills, we recommend to opt for the ‘banana peel’ technique to remove any outgrown extensions. For this:
- Brush through the extensions and assess which extensions need to be removed.
- Isolate the natural lash and gently lift the extension from the natural lash, in a movement that looks like peeling a banana (hence the name).
- Removing lash extensions should not cause discomfort for your client so be mindful not to damage the natural lashes in this process.
