Who are these Cleansing Pads for?
This professional-grade tool is indispensable for lash artists who prioritize long-lasting results. Additionally, they serve as a premium retail product for clients looking for a safe, nourishing way to remove eye makeup at home.
What are these Cleansing Pads?
These are pre-treatment prep pads infused with a restorative Amino Acid Complex, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera extract. The compact, circular design allows for detailed cleaning of the lash line and eyelids while keeping the skin and natural lashes healthy.
When Should You Use Them?
Incorporate these pads into your workflow as Step 2 of your lash preparation routine after using a lash shampoo. They are also perfect during touch-up appointments to quickly refresh the eye area and remove any oil buildup before adding new extensions.
Why Choose This Formula?
Inadequate prep is a leading cause of premature lash loss. These pads don't just clean, they condition. While the active ingredients strip away bond-blocking proteins, the Vitamin E and Aloe ensure the eye area remains hydrated and irritation-free, providing a luxury prep experience.
How to Use
To guarantee a spotless surface for every set, follow these steps:
- The Technique: Remove one pad from the jar and wrap it around your fingertip to create a pointed shape for better accuracy.
- The Cleanse: Softly swipe over the lashes, lids, and under-eye area until all cosmetic residue is gone.
- Pro Tip: For a deeper lash line scrub, use a micro-fiber brush to pick up the solution from the pad and work it through the base of the lashes.
- The Routine: Use as the second step in your prep; pair with our Lash Shampoo (Step 1) for the ultimate clean.
- Retail Advice: Suggest your clients use one pad daily to maintain their extensions and prevent the buildup of natural oils.

FAQs
How should my clients clean their lash extensions?
We always recommend advising clients to use a professional lash cleanser specifically formulated for the delicate eye area and safe for eyelash extensions.
Our Lash Foam Cleanser is designed to:
- Gently remove makeup, oil, and daily buildup
- Keep lashes clean without compromising retention
- Help extensions last longer between fills
Using products not designed for lash extensions (like baby shampoo) can lead to dryness, irritation, or poor retention, as they are not formulated for the eye area or adhesive bonds.
For clients with sensitive skin or a sensitivity to Tea Tree, a gentle alternative foaming cleanser is recommended. To better support your clients, consider sharing digital aftercare guides so they can maintain their lashes correctly at home.
My client's lashes look clean, but retention is still poor. Why?
Even when lashes appear clean, residue from oils, skincare products, or microscopic buildup can still be present and affect retention.
If you're experiencing retention issues:
- Review your full pre-treatment routine
- Make sure each step is completed thoroughly
- Double-check that your adhesive is being used within its recommended temperature and humidity conditions
Client aftercare also plays a huge role — improper cleansing or exposure to oils can significantly reduce retention.
What's the difference between Booster and Superbonder?
Both products improve retention, but they work in completely different ways:
Booster (Retention & Speed Booster):
- Applied to the lash strip only (never to natural lashes)
- Speeds up adhesive curing
- Helps prevent fans from closing
- Improves control during volume application
- Supports stronger retention
Superbonder:
- Applied after the treatment is complete
- Increases adhesive flexibility to reduce breakage
- Seals in fumes to reduce irritation and sensitivity
- Allows lashes to get wet immediately after the appointment
- Enhances overall retention
What's the difference between Cleanser and Primer?
Both are essential steps in proper lash prep, but they serve different purposes:
Cleanser:
Alcohol-based formula
Removes oils, proteins, and residue from natural lashes
Deep cleans the lash surface
Primer:
Water-based formula
Rehydrates lashes after cleansing
Balances pH levels
Prepares lashes for optimal adhesive bonding
Using Cleanser alone is not recommended. Because it removes moisture, skipping Primer can lead to poor curing and reduced retention.
What pre-treatment routine gives the best retention?
A consistent, thorough pre-treatment routine is the foundation of long-lasting results. In many cases, retention issues come down to prep — not the adhesive.
Recommended routine:
- Cleanse the lashes: Use a lash foam cleanser to remove makeup and surface debris
- Use Protein Remover Pads: Remove any remaining oils or residue around the lash line
- Apply Cleanser: Deep cleanse to eliminate any final traces of oil or product
- Apply Primer: Reintroduce moisture and balance the lashes for optimal bonding
- Use Booster (on lash strip only): Speed up curing and improve application control
A proper prep routine can make a significant difference in both retention and overall results.
Can I use only a Cleanser before applying lashes?
For best results, we recommend completing the full pre-treatment routine rather than relying on Cleanser alone.
Cleanser removes oils effectively, but it also dehydrates the lashes. Without restoring moisture with a Primer, the adhesive may cure too slowly, the bond may be compromised, and retention can suffer.
Using both Cleanser and Primer ensures the lashes are properly balanced and ready for optimal adhesion.
