Well, I am actually pleasantly surprised! I don't usually use makeup removers because I find that they never seem to work easily or allow for my makeup to come off cleanly. But this product, I am actually really impressed.
The product is unscented (or lowly scented - I can't tell), nicely packaged and a great size! I usually don't bother buying eye makeup remover products to try because the packaging is too big to try and not like it. But this size is perfect (125ml) .The packaging is clean and simple (funnily enough) and does not stand out on the shelf.
The actual eye makeup remover is something different. Reading the instructions, you need to shake the bottle before use because it is a 'dual effect' remover; you need to combine the two 'ingredients'. This does seem to make the product bubble a little. I applied this product using a cotton pad and, as per the instructions, didn't scrub my eyes. Rather, I held the soaked cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds and then slowly wiped the pad from the inside of my eye to the outside. And low and behold my eye makeup was removed! One interesting thing I found was that the product left an oily feeling residue. I didn't like this at first until I washed my face and found that this residue help to remove any left over eye makeup. It also meant that my eyes didn't feel dry or sore as removing eye makeup by other means can. It really kept the sensitive skin around my eyes hydrated (something I usually have trouble with when using makeup removers)!
Now, I trialled this product on two different eye makeup occasions. The first being simply when I received this product to trial, I wanted to use it straight away but wasn't wearing any makeup. I quickly applied some eye makeup (eye shadow, eye liner and mascara) just as I would on a day to day basis (not too heavy, not too light). Removing the makeup straight after applying I found this remover took away all of the makeup with ease! One wipe and it was all gone! Despite not usually removing makeup as soon as it is applied, what this means to me is that should I make a mistake with my eyeliner when I am applying it, this remover (with a cotton bud) should easily tidy up any mistakes without irritating my eyes.
The true test was removing makeup at the end of a long day of wearing it. It did not remove it all with quite so much ease. I removed it the exact same way (a soaked cotton pad held on the eye then slowly wiping away) and there was a little eyeliner residue still remaining. This seem to disappear with one more wipe of the product and was fully removed after cleansing. So I am not disappointed with this result at all. It is by far the best eye makeup remover product I have used.
I usually don't use makeup remover products because they never seem to work and leave my skin feeling quite dry. I usually just cleanse and hope for the best. Now, however, I will definitely repurchase this product once it is gone. My usually sensitive skin is happy!
I've always been a tad skeptical about using this however, I've tried it and I don't think I'll ever use anything else.First time using it and I was sold! It's just so easy to use. I shook the bottle as per the instructions, put a little in a cotton pad and held lightly on my eye for a few seconds. Pulled away and walla most of it had been removed. Another 1 or 2 wipes and one eye was done. Super quick and your eyes are feeling so fresh and soft. The 125ml bottle is just the perfect size for me, small enough to fit in my toiletry bag but still enough to last for quite some time. So far I have used this 5 times and have used less than a quarter of a bottle, it's that good. I havent found this to sting when using and haven't had any sort of reaction at all. I like that this will last for 12 months ( if not used sooner) and that it gives you quick instructions on the leaflet. Overall I will be recommending this to my friends and family and suggesting they try it asap!
Tips: I use a large cotton pad with the remover and a smaller one to wipe any bits that fall away. Even using a cotton bud for the stubborn bits
