L'Oreal De-Maq Expert

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Bottle hard to open, not sutiable for sensitive eyes, oily, messy,

I own the De-Maq Expert 'Absolute eye & lip make-up remover' - 'suitable for sensitive eyes'. 125ml It's an awful product. After spending a good 10 minutes looking at all the makeup removers in Boots I chose this one, purely on the basis it's a "professional formula" and that its suitable for sensitive eyes. It's wrong. I don't particularly have sensitive eyes but from time to time I do wear heavy eye make-up. Especially when it comes to eyeliner. ...
...barely any eye makeup at all and it still irritates them. They appear red and dry (eye lids especially go red) after use. De-Maq advertises itself being Opthalmologic tested. You'd expect something that says this to be fine with delicate areas like the eye. It's also apparently suitable for contact lens wearers. Personally I wouldn't risk it. In the advert, one simple swipe takes make-up away. Not on my face! I ended up with it all down my face ... Read review

Advantages: Effective at removing make-up, hydrating, skin left clean and silky, removes tough make-up
Disadvantages: slightly messy, confusing labels on bottles for cosmetic beginners.

I've been using the Loreal milk-toner and Elixir Concentrate Make-up Remover and was very impressed with them. I wear heavy foundation on a daily basis, alongside mascara and liquid eyeliner. Before this product i'd been using Simple facewipes to remove my makeup but was never satisfied with how the wipes removed my makeup and dried out my skin. Loreal's new range is so hydrating and I feel comfortable knowing that my thick foundation is being removed ...
...using this product it's calmed down so much. Although the Make-up remover in particular is quite messy to use, I like using it because you can feel the make-up dissolving on your face, which I find a comfort because I sometimes worry that I havn't removed my cosmetics properly. After washing it off as directed (I don't waste time with cotton pads) my skin feels silky and fresh, especially after using the milk-toner which is so refreshing. I'd really ... Read review

Advantages: one cloth for all face
Disadvantages: higher price but worth it

I always by these cleaning cloths when they are for "offer" price (sometimes even half price!) and I can say they are the best I have used so far. Yes, the price is higher than other brands but you should consider that you buy 40 cloths, bigger size than other brands and actualy they ARE cloths not just piece of paper like cotton which usually tears off. These cloths remove everything from your face, you do not need special eye-makeup remover if ... Read review

Advantages: Totally removes all my make up
Disadvantages: Can be slightly pricey, but lasts a long time

For years and years i have been trying different make-up remover products, toners, 2-in-one etc and still always end up with panda eyes in the morning until i discovered this product. The nicest thing about this is that it takes me no time at all now to take off my make-up in the evening. I just damp my face with warm water, apply a small amount, a little does go a long way, rub in for a few minutes and remove with a flannel soaked in warm water. ...
...the feel of this product and the smell is divine. I usually buy this product in Boots or Supermarket at around £5-6, for 150ml but decided to shop round and bought it online for £3.99 from Fragrancedirect.co.uk (i tend to order a few items from here at a time as there P&P is around £4.50) and i have even purchased from Ebay. The product states that it is for face, eyes and lips, therefore, removes the need for a seperate eye make up remover, which ... Read review

Advantages: Velvet soft, Lots of foam
Disadvantages: Left skin feeling tight

I have used many different make-up removers in the last few years but i have never come across a product with such high quality and such a little price. The formula is soft like velvet and is able to be used on the whole face. This luxourious creme creates a smooth velvet like wash which takes of even the most stubborn make up with in a few seconds. The product leaves skin silky soft whilst leaving it refreshed and squeaky clean. The product lasted ...
...most days, It costs just £3.91 and is held in a 150 ml bottle, Not bad eh?! The product is dermatologically tested and uses a professional formula. I found one extremly small problem whilst using it, my skin felt a bit tight after washing it. In my opinion i think this product os worth this small amount of money as it is quick and effective, IT DOES THE JOB WELL! ... Read review

Advantages: Removes waterproof make - up, has a nice smell, efficient - will last for several months
Disadvantages: Complicated to use, irritates eyes and blurrs vision, expensive

...I am posting this review for the second time, first one was in an incorrect category and I asked Ciao to delete it I recently bought L?Oreal De-maq Expert Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-Up Remover. It is designed with professional technology to remove waterproof and long-lasting cosmetics from eyes and skin. Before, I had tried another product to remove my new waterproof mascara but it didn?t work so I decided I would opt for something more effective this time. To be honest I was tempted by the price of this product, which was quite expensive at £5.49 in Boots (I though expensive product must work well), and claims on the tube that it contained a ?professional? and ?most concentrated? formula. I bought it. Packaging: The tube looks professional, has very good description and instructions on how to use the product... Read review
