Hey Beauties,
Ever
tried Bioderma Sensibo H2O? Do you hate that it's hard to get your hands on in
stores? Well I may have found a cheap alternative for you & even better, it
is available in all supermarkets & drugstores in the UK & Ireland.
I
personally have not tried Bioderma but have found that this product claims to
have all the properties that Bioderma claims to have. I will be trying bioderma
& thus will do a comparison of the two soon.
This
alternative I speak of is from the brand Garnier & is the Simply Essentials
soothing 2in1 makeup remover. As I said this can be found almost anywhere that
sells Garnier products, I got mines in Boots for like £1.50 which first
attracted me to it even though it has been out for a while. There is 200ml of
product and it can be found HERE for under £3.
This product claims to be
suitable for removing face & eye makeup and claims to be able to even
remove waterproof makeup. It has no perfume, no alcohol & claims that no
rubbing is needed to remove makeup. It also claims to be suitable for sensitive
skin & is dermatologically& ophthalmologically tested (What?? Me
neither!).
In
the bottle there is two layers of product – one clear layer with a blue layer
on top. The blue liquid on top being a makeup removing oil and the clear
solution being cleansing water which are enriched with plant extract &
pro-vitamin B5.
How to use *
1.
Firstly shake the bottle well to combine both solutions.2. Soak cotton pad with solution
3. Wipe area to be cleaned (gently)
Verdict *
Personally
I am usually more a face wipe & cleansing lotion type of girl when it comes
to removing makeup but since the hype of Bioderma I am starting to venture out
into other available options.
I
tried this out when I had a full face of makeup with heavy eye makeup& bold
matte lip. I wanted to give this the best test possible. I soaked the pad &
wiped around my face. I was surprised to see that with one wipe my ruby woo
lips had come straight off when usually it bes a lot tougher. I used an extra
pad for eyes alone & found it took the eye makeup off quite well but not in
one swipe. For the tougher eye makeup I would suggest (like bioderma) I would
hold it on the eye for at least 10 seconds or so and then wipe.
Pros : In general, this is a great product that
removes makeup quite well in less cotton pads than a lotion & therefore
faster to get makeup off.
Cons: This smells of rosewater which isn’t a smell I
am fond off & makes me doubt the whole ‘no perfume’ claim so I don’t really
think it be best for those with REALLY sensitive skin to try. Also it is really
oily (because of the blue liquid) which has caused me to breakout on my cheeks.
Would I recommend? *
I
would recommend this product for those with Normal to dry skin & would
suggest sensitive/oily skin to steer clear. But I think products treat everyone
differently so if you ever do come across it, on deal especially, do give it a
try. As it broke me out on my cheeks I have only been using it for my eyes
& lips as I find it is great for tough makeup. Even though it did break me
out if you were to use it on your face I would suggest following up with toner
(which I didn’t) to remove the excess oil. I will probably not repurchase this
in a hurry and as I am only using it for my eyes& lips I don’t think I will
run out anytime soon.
Have
you tried this product?
Are
you a big fan of these types of products?
