Claudia Winkleman revealed in an interview earlier this year that she ‘rarely takes her makeup off’ but on those rare occasions, there’s only one product she swears by – plus, it’s on sale
Beyond her iconic fringe, Claudia’s known for her hosting roles on Strictly Come Dancing and BBC One’s The Traitors, which kicked off its latest season this week (October 8).
Earlier this year, Claudia told Grazia in an interview that she rarely goes without her signature makeup look, rarely taking it off at the end of the day. That said, the 52-year-old TV personality did share that there is one product she relies on for those times when she does remove her full face. And we don’t just know where to buy Claudia’s go-to cleanser, it’s also on sale.

Claudia said in the interview: “In terms of cleansers, the king of all cleansers for me is the Eve Lom Cleanser. It’s fantastic. I’ve dilly-dallied with other stuff, but I just think that’s the one – and this is coming from someone who rarely takes off her make-up. So, on the rare occasion I do want to take my make-up off, then you best believe the Eve Lom one does the best job.”
The cleanser that’s claimed the top spot in Claudia’s skincare routine is touted as an award-winning balm that deeply cleanses the skin for radiant, smooth-looking results.
And it isn’t just Claudia that’s got songs of praise for this cleanser, as Vogue hailed it “probably the best cleanser in the world.
Designed to provide a deep, skin-reviving cleanse, this Eve Lom Cleanser is a multi-purpose, multi-award-winning balm expertly formulated to suit all skin types. It combines the brand’s signature blend of four aromatic plant oils (Clove, Eucalyptus, Hops, and Egyptian Chamomile) to promote glowing, radiant, and smoother-looking skin. Clove Oil encourages clear, clarified skin, while Egyptian Chamomile Oil and Cocoa Butter soften, soothe and condition.
To be used in conjunction with the specially woven, 100% muslin cloth, this cleanser provides a deep yet gentle cleanse; effortlessly melting away dirt and makeup (even stubborn waterproof formulas) while gently exfoliating and decongesting without drying or stripping skin. It helps to slough away dead skin cells, smoothing and refining the skin’s texture, preparing the complexion for the next steps in your skincare regimen.
You can find Claudia’s favourite cleanser at Eve Lom’s website or at John Lewis for £65, while at Lookfantastic it’s currently on offer for £48.75. For a slightly cheaper, celebrity-loved cleanser, Boots is currently offering Molly-Mae’s go-to ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm for £39, down from £52.
It isn’t just Claudia who raves about this cleanser, as it currently boasts over 800 5-star reviews on Lookfantastic. One buyer beams: “I’ve been using this cleanser on and off for many years now, and in the past 6 months I’ve been using it exclusively. It works very well on my mature, sensitive skin. It leaves my complexion brighter and ready for my serum and moisturiser. Highly recommend.”
Another shopper says: “I’d never have splurged on a face mask this pricey, but after getting it as a gift, wow, game changer. My skin feels so soft and refined, even my partner noticed.”
A third chimes in: “I’ve tried so many cleansers and this really beats them all, not only does it remove all makeup, it’s very nourishing, my face feels clean and moisturised after using it. I realise it’s expensive, but it lasts so long that it’s great value for money.”
And another customer gushes: “I love this cleanser, it feels so luxurious and just melts away make-up at the end of the day!”
Though one buyer does comment on the price tag, writing: “Very nice spa-like experience with good results. I prefer it to the Elemis cleansing balm, which used to be my favourite until I tried this. I love the fact that it still comes with a cloth. I’m not too keen on the clove scent but don’t mind it.”
