Bioderma Sensibio H2O

Removing your makeup every night before bed is a b*tch ...

But it should also be a habit.  I am a repeat offender ... I have been known to hit the hay without washing my face ... but I do try NOT to let that happen often.  I keep an army of products at the ready to make sure I take it all off: baby wipes, soap, facial cleanser, etc.

But during a midnight trip to Shoppers Drug Mart, I came across a big bottle of water ... well, it looked like water ... expensive water at that since it was priced at $30. When I picked up the pseudo-water bottle I realized it was more than that! It was Bioderma Sensibio H20 - a water based facial cleanser and makeup remover.  I was intrigued ... but not sold.  And that's when the saleslady chimed in ...

"it's all the rage in europe", "the bottle will last you lifetime", "it removes the heaviest of makeup with ease" 

And with that, the beauty addict inside of me crumbled like the spineless weakling it is and I gave in to the hype [can you say pushover??].  I headed home with a $30 bottle of water.

Me being weak and easily persuaded aside ... its actually REALLY GOOD!  Fragrance free and alcohol free, I do NOT smell like a pharmacy when I go to bed. Quite gentle, it's doesn't leave my skin dry, tight or itchy.  It's really easy to use - you just soak a cotton pad and wipe it over the face.  You don't need water, but you will need to dab your skin with a dry towel after use.  When I'm done, my skin does feel clean and refreshed.  BONUS: it comes in formulas, sensitive and oily/combination.

I like the product mainly because it does remove every single trace of my makeup with just one cotton pad.  Plus, it doesn't require water, so I can soak the cotton pad and swipe it over my face while I'm walking around my home doing other things - it's multitask friendly!

The downfall to this product?  Well, definitely its pricetag of $30.  It's more a "want" than a "need" at that price.  Also, it's not portable.  At least not at the 500 ml.  They do have a 125 ml bottle, but I didn't see that available at Shoppers Drug Mart.  And I surely won't be going back there anytime soon to check ... that Saleslady sure knows how to work me!

That stuff is awesome! I have the smaller bottle. Its also great for minor mistakes & you don't want to remove all your makeup. Only downfall it doesn't completely take off all my mascara but does remove other makeup well.

This sounds quite interesting. I must try! I am one of those lazy people who want to find the quickest way to remove makeup. I may have the same problem as Monica with the removal of mascara. The mascara that I use is super-waterproof but I wouldn't mind using this product to remove everything else.
