Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

It seems to be so hard to find a good eye make-up remover – we kept seeing Nivea’s Extra Gentle remover in the supermarkets, so decided to give it a try.

As a budget remover we feel this is not too bad, but we did have a couple of niggles – despite being ‘extra gentle’ and suitable for contact lens wearers, it did sting the eyes a little which made it uncomfortable to use.  It also wasn’t particularly refreshing, which (rightly or wrongly) we feel an eye make-up remover should do.

As far as removing make-up goes, it is very good, though some waterproof mascaras needed more than two or three applications to remove it.  However Nivea do have a separate waterproof eye make-up remover in the Visage range.

Overall, a good budget remover, just a little disappointing.

Gatineau Floracil Gentle Cleansing Lotion (Eye Make-up Remover)

A very popular eye make-up remover, especially for contact lens wearers, those with sensitive eyes and those who wear a lot of make-up.

Non-oily, so leaves the eye area refreshed and well cleansed without stickiness or greasiness. Most mascaras and eye colours are removed quickly and without trace. Some of the more stubborn waterproof mascaras take a little longer to remove, but if you gentle press the cotton wool pads soaked in Floracil over your eyes and wait a minute or so not only will you remove your mascara, but you’ll have fresh-feeling eyes!
