Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover Reviews

A Tender, Effective Makeup Remover
And yet another story from my days of modeling school, which I enjoyed immensely. We learned to apply makeup--lots of it for the camera (sometimes I feared I'd near a trowel to rid myself of it!). We did the catwalk and had our photos taken, sometimes blending more than seven shades of eye shadow and topping it with liner and professional mascara. Removal always began with a cleansing cream, applying lavishly and then gently massaging into skin and around eyes, paying careful attention to take off heavy eye makeup without pulling or tugging in any way. We used wash cloths, working until every bit of color disappeared. Until then, I would simply have reached for a bar of soap or foaming cleanser, but I learned from classes that it sometimes TAKES OIL TO REMOVE OIL. Lipids bond together and unwanted products are completely eradicated (thus, the huge success of olive oil as a purifier). Lancome, originally built as a house for skin care, understands this. Their "Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover" is pricey at about $28.00, but definitely worth it in the long run. Bi-Facil is an award-winning formula that is half-emollient. It's a good thing. Watch even the longest-lasting waterproof mascara disappear with ease and no tears or harsh, irritating ingredients to sting you. Be careful around eyes; eyelashes do not always grow back and skin is as delicate as tissue paper here. The more tenderly you remove eye makeup, the better your eyes will look in the future (read that again, please). A water-based part of Bi-Facil refreshes eyes and conditions skin with no greasy residue. Be sure to shake the solution well before using and dab on liberally with cotton pads. I love it to rid my skin of foundation, blush, and lipstick as well. Even if your skin is oily, have no fear. It will not cause blemishes (they come because of clogged pores, dead skin, and more). I generally follow with a mild cleanser and then a serum and/or moisturizer. It is even effective for those with sensitive eyes. Don't forget that Lancome has wonderful bonus gifts with purchase, so it's best to buy this during those times! — 2 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 4 people said helpful

Wonderful Eye Makeup Remover
Whether you have on a smokey eye for a night out or you just have on a bit of mascara, this bi-facil double action eye makeup remover does wonders in removing all traces of makeup from your eyes. This product is meant for all skin types, removes waterproof makeup, and is gentle enough for sensitive eyes. It has two layers, and that's why it recommends you to shake well so that it mixes the solution. Then take a cotton pad and dab some solution onto to help clean any type of eye makeup off. I even use it to remove blush and lipstick sometimes. The only downside is it does leave your eyes feeling oily, but just wash your face afterwards and you'll be fine. Of course, this is also a bit on the pricey side, but for a job well done, it's definitely worth it! — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 11 people said helpful

Good but expensive!
I received this as part of a GWP, and I like this eye makeup remover a lot. It has nice packaging, does a decent job of removing eye makeup, isn't too greasy, and doesn't burn my eyes. However, it's a little spendy, and Neutrogena's Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover works just as well for me but for much less $$! Same with Clinique's. — 4 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 18 people said helpful

ugh
I didn't like this, it too way too long to get my make up off and the first time I used it it dumped all over my sink, awful design, and honestly I would rather just go to the dollar tree and get a bottle of baby oil cause this stuff burned my eyes awful, I could barely get through taking off the shadow on one eye. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 7 people said helpful

oily
this makeup remover works very well. i felt that it was kind of oily, but effective. honestly, i would not repurchase because its kind of pricey. the sonia kashuk eye makeup remover is a lot cheaper and quite nice. good thing i only got a sample size of this! — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 20 people said helpful

Use the American Version
I love the American version of this product. It is non-greasy and gentle but effective. It doesn't clog my pores, but really gets the product off. It even removes waterproof mascara without having to rub. The European version, however, does not work and is very greasy. Make sure to buy the US release version! — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 3 people said helpful

Lancome Make-up Remover
Initially upon receiving this product, I put it away. It has an oil base to it that sort of grossed me out, but I have found that this product REALLY works on stubborn eye make-up, especially liner and mascara. If you wear both, like I do, you know that a lot of make-up wipes don't get all of the residual liner and mascara off. A little bit of this on a cotton pad or two and you know there's nothing left behind. I shake this product up before using and that gives me the best results without being too oily. It's not going to be for everyone, but I break it out when it's necessary and it saves me a lot of grief at the end of the day. I do think it's expensive, so I recommend buying it in a Sephora kit with a mess of other items you want to try out or searching Ebay for a small bottle. These are really cost effective ways to try out products you're unsure of. — 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Great Eraser
I really love this makeup remover because it erases my makeup in just one sweep and is tough even on waterproof mascara. The formula feels a little greasy but is absorbed quickly. This takes off makeup without making a mess. — 2 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

One of the best
Anytime Lancome has a gwp special at Macy's I try to get the gwp mostly for this eye makeup remover. I also do purchase it at times because a little goes a long way. It's moisturizing and to me the residue is very slight and actually feels nice and hydrating on the eyes. It removes makeup quickly which reduces the pulling and tugging on the eyes. Really it's just a great product. — 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
