This was a product that my mum got free from where she works [boots]. I have to say that I am very glad that I didn't pay for this because the price is far too high for the product. Having a reputable brand name isn't an excuse for charging an extortionate price for an average product! omg i sound like my nan...

The company claims that it is non-greasy, but I strongly disagree with that. I have to use a very good cleanser and toner to make sure that none of the oily residue is left on my skin to clog my pores.

However, although it is expensive and greasy, I have to admit that it really does work. I have recently taken to wearing heavy[er] black eyeliner and lots of black mascara, but after I have used this, all [or almost all] of my makeup has been removed with no grey smudges left under my eyes as can be the case with other makeup removers.

This product isn't enough to use as your only cleansing product; a good cleanser and toner are needed straight after to minimalise the effect of the oil on your skin. However, it is very good at removing heavy eye makeup.
