Lancome Bi- Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover Review


 I'm happy- finally got my hands on the phone I have been after for the last few monthsI've had my other phone since 2019 so enough time has passed that I can see some changes- like speaker quality. And better camera. And I'm sure tons more. I'm still waiting for it to update. In the meantime, a review.....

Lancome:

An award-winning, waterproof makeup remover that is gentle enough for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. 

WHAT IT IS
The #1 makeup remover in the US* that instantly and effortlessly removes waterproof makeup. The bi-phase makeup remover contains an oily phase and a water phase to remove stubborn makeup without irritation or greasy feel.

WHAT IT DOES
From dramatic smoky eye looks, to waterproof or water-resistant makeup, this effective makeup remover easily rids skin of residue and cleanses without leaving skin feeling greasy or sticky. Bi-Facil is an essential for makeup bags and professional makeup kits. Shake to activate the bi-phase formula.

BI-PHASE FORMULA
This unique makeup remover is designed with two phases to lift eye makeup off while leaving the skin feeling refreshed and clean. The oily phase uses a lipid concentrate to loosen and lift eye makeup, while the water phase uses unique emollients to leave skin feeling perfectly cleansed.

Suitable for all skin types, from normal to sensitive skin, combination to dry skin or oily skin – it’s also great for contact lens wearers.


I like to splurge on soaps, skincare, makeup (sometimes) but I never really understood splurging on makeup removers. I did it anyway because I am making my way through the most iconic beauty products of all time. This was on the list. So I bought it. But it's probably the most unnecessary splurge. 

Years and years back, I reviewed the sister remover from L'oreal at a much more reasonable price.  Same company- products even look similar but one is drugstore and more reasonably priced. And the Lancome is not. I don't usually keep eye makeup remover- usually I just scrub at my eyes with soap. At one point I used coconut oil. I don't find it necessary unless I am using a mascara that is just really difficult to remove. I don't buy waterproof but more modern formulations of mascara can be quite difficult to get off. This type of product can come in handy for that. 

You do need to shake it. I can't tell you how many times I have forgotten to do that. I'm still working on making it a habit. From what I can remember the L'oreal did not need to be shaken. You can definitely see the layers though- which is kinda cool.

Packaging is ok. I think I would prefer a pump though. 

The actual product itself has never stung my eyes. Removes makeup easily and cleanly without smearing all over.And it has a slight rosy scent that is not overpowering and very pleasant.

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: AQUA / WATER / EAU • CYCLOPENTASILOXANE • ISOHEXADECANE • SODIUM CHLORIDE • POLOXAMER 184 • BENZYL ALCOHOL • BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE • GERANIOL • DISODIUM PHOSPHATE • DISODIUM EDTA • POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE • CITRONELLOL • HEXYLENE GLYCOL • PARFUM / FRAGRANCE (F.I.L. B244918/1).

Overall, it is a nice product. It works very well. It's just the price....4.2 ounces for $36.00 is just too much. I paid about $30 for mine. It does get better priced per ounce when you buy the larger sizes. Nearly impossible to justify when there are more reasonable options for much less. For example Micellar Water can work just as well and is much more affordable and can be used all over the face. 

Not a repurchase for me. But I'll definitely be using up the bottle.
