I always do a lot of research before making a purchase, and that is exactly what I did with this lovely facial cleanser. Although this cleansing lotion can be used for the removal of facial makeup, I use it specifically for eye makeup removal. It does not sting or leave a residue to cloud your vision like some eye makeup removers that might contain oil, and it removes ALL eye makeup, including mascara. I do not use water proof mascara so I cannot comment on how efficient it is at removing that, .
Although this cleanser can be removed with a tissue or cotton ball, I use a warm damp cotton washcloth. I simply apply several drops of the cleanser to each eye, gently work it onto the lids and lashes for a minute or so, then take a wet washcloth with water and wipe gently until all lotion and makeup is gone..that simple! If there is any residue left on the lashes I use a Q tip with a little more of the cleanser and work it along the lash line of each eye. Usually, however, I get all of the makeup off without having to do that.
Amazing product, non drying, and does an excellent job at makeup removal. I will continue to use this product as long as it stays on the market. There are other Bioderma cleansers but this one is the best I have used...as I said, no stinging, no drying, Keep up the good work, BIODERMA!! I am a life long fan.
