REVIEW L'Oreal Paris Gentle Lip and Eye Makeup Remover
It’s quite often to hear some of my friends say “this micellar water sucks, it can’t clean my mascara off.” Well, honey, most micellar waters don’t contain oils that are useful to wipe waterproof makeup, while this kind of product suits your need better. So, if you’re one of the many people who are looking for an effective waterproof-makeup cleanser, you might want to search for this kind of product. I suggest you keep on reading this review, just in case this product might be the one you’ve been looking for!

Texture
It’s watery and oily. Don’t worry! I don’t think this product is as oily as the infamous lip and eye makeup remover from their sister brand. But if I compare this one to the one from Wardah, I think this product leaves a bit more oil residue on the skin. I can’t guarantee that statement, though, because it’s been quite long since the last time I used the one from Wardah. |

Thoughts
First off, I like that this product doesn’t contain alcohol! I’m not an anti-alcohol-in-skincare gang, but I avoid it because I know my skin is easily dehydrated. To make sure my skin doesn’t get dehydrated again, I become more careful when it comes to alcohol as an ingredient in skincare, especially in cleansers. The fact that this product doesn’t contain alcohol makes it less drying to the skin. I also appreciate this cleanser for not being so greasy on the eyes and lips, very much the opposite of many ‘old-school’ lip and eye makeup removers. Even though so, it leaves a light oily film on the other parts of the face, so you have to rinse it off with a second cleanser (well, every first cleanser has to be rinsed anyway). But, if you don’t feel comfortable of having to experience the oily film on your skin, you can just use this product to cleanse the eyes and lips makeup only, just like the main purpose of this product.I think the ability to cleanse is excellent. It doesn’t mean you can wipe the whole makeup in just one swipe, but at least it is much more effective than the regular micellar water. If I compare it to bi-phase micellar water, I still think this cleanser is a bit more effective. A good option to use when you feel so lazy to use a messy cleansing oil/balm :D
Overall, I think it’s a good product! I wasn’t really interested in this kind of product before because I used to think that it’d be way too greasy and uncomfortable. I’m glad this product exceeds my expectation :D Recommended!
