Johnson's Face Care - Gentle Eye Makeup Removal Pads

£3.29/ 30 pads        www.johnsonsbeauty.co.uk
Made in the UK
Tailored for all skin types.
Eye Make Up Removal Pads gently cleanse eyes of make-up, even waterproof mascara.

The formula contains pro-vitamin B5 to condition eyelashes and gentle lotion to care for the sensitive eye area. Eyes are left beautifully clean and make-up free, without the oily residue. Opthalmologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin.

I have tried a few items from this brand before and have quite enjoyed them. However, this product did not meet that enjoyed list.
I felt the pads themselves were dry/ had very little product on them. I dropped a little water on them to get them at least moist. On using them I left one pad on each eye (non-waterproof mascara) for over a minute, then gentle wiggled them downwards (this is how I usually remove my eye makeup) and the results was disappointing. Only a little product came away with the cotton rounds, most was still on my eye.
The only way these worked was rubbing the eye makeup off quite roughly, which to me personally is not the way to remove something from an extremely gentle area.

These were cheap, I loved the packaging, the fragrance was mild and lovely and I enjoy the brands other products. Perhaps I got an old stock item and it had dried up too much, but I don't think I will be running out to repurchase them anytime soon.

L'Oreal - Skin Perfection, Purifying Micellar Solution

£4.99/ 200ml            www.loreal-paris.co.uk
Made in Germany.
Tailored for all skin types, even sensitive.
As gentle as water on your skin but acts like a make-up remover, toner and skin soother all in one.

A cleanser for face eyes and lips, suitable for sensitive skin. Dissolves make-up, unclogs pores and removes impurities and tones and soothes the skin.
Swiftly dissolving all traces of make-up, the 'micellar' solution acts like a purifying magnet on the skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities rather than spreading them around your face like some wipes can.
Hypo-allergenic. No Alcohol. No perfume. Dermatologically tested.

I have used my fair share of micellar solutions over the past few years; easy to use, fast makeup removal, no water needed.
An essential part of any makeup artists kit. This on cotton wool, in my opinion, is far better than any wipes, it's also more gentle, pulls the skin less and isn't as drying and harsh on the skin.
This impressed me, it gets the job done correctly, quickly and brilliantly with no residue left on the skin.
It contains very similar ingredients to Bioderma, but at a fraction of the price.
It works brilliant on people with very sensitive skin, no redness or drying to the skin at all. I always restock my kit with this cheaper dupe now and I highly recommend trying it out for yourself if you haven't already done so.

Brilliant value for money, high performance, suitable for even the most sensitive skin, gentle and unclogs pores, even after the heaviest of makeup coverage. Massive thumbs up!
