Been using this for years!

I love swirling the bottle and watching the 2 layers combine. This product is effective at removing even waterproof mascara, just make sure you hold the saturated cotton pad in place for a bit before you start to do the wiping.

Tips: Don't rub! Just hold the cotton pad over the eyelid and with a gentle patting motion, your eye makeup will just melt off!

Pricy but effective

I picked this up at a seriously reduced, (although still incredibly expensive for makeup remover) price online. I prefer using simple micellar to remove my mascara, but was finding that it wasn't quite cutting the mustard for removing really stubborn waterproof mascaras which is why I picked this one up.

To use you shake the bottle well, and pour onto a cotton pad. I like that this has a small rather than large opening, so you can dispense a little amount of liquid at a time onto your cotton pad. This did a fantastic job at really softening the mascara on my lids. Often this type of makeup remover can leave an oily residue behind- not so with this one. My preferred method of makeup removal is to apply this to two cotton pads and leave on my eyes for about 30 seconds or so. This softens the mascara enough that when you go on to cleanse, the majority of the rest of the mascara will be removed. I then swipe the pads around my eyes one last time to ensure I have all of the mascara off my lashes. This was really gentle on my eyes as well as the skin around them which can be quite sensitive and dry.

The price is the only thing that would be holding me back from recommending this to others. However if you prefer waterproof mascara's, and you are wary of tugging at delicate skin around your eyes by having to scrub and scrub with less effective removers- then this is your guy. Since I need the curl and staying power that waterproof mascara's give me I will most likely repurchase.

Effective and expensive

This is another dual liquid make up remover with the shake and apply routine. This has a floral scent that I have come to associate with Lancome products combined with a flower on the package.

You do need to wash your face after this one, I feel it leaves an oily residue where used. While it says to use a cotton pad to apply, I shake and tip a little into one hand, then rub both hands together before applying to my face. It does do the job first time round each time and I can gently massage in areas that need a little assistance without repeat applications of this. My fingers glide over skin due to the oil part when doing this. I like to soften mascara with it sitting a little before wiping off. It does get off my mascara well.

It is pricey so GWP is the time to get these, a little more bang for your buck.

Bi-facil

This was my first dual phase eye makeup remover. This removes any eye makeup very easily. I soak a cotton pad with this and then press it to my eyelids. All my eye makeup is off after a few swipes. I don't use waterproof eye makeup so I can't comment on how well it removes waterproof makeup. This is quite expensive so I have been using micellar water usually and only keeping this for times when I need to remove a lot of eye makeup in a hurry.

Lovely Product But A Little Pricey

I really liked this eye makeup removing product. It's great for removing longwear and waterproof products on eyes and lips.

Very gentle and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and soft. Minimal residue left over after using on the skin but you could always wipe the skin down afterwards with a damp face cloth if you didn't want any residue of product at all on the skin.

Quite a pricey product so I have since started using a more affordable version as I have a full skincare routine I use after this step anyway.

Tips: Shake it well before using so it mixes the bi-phase formula together for the best use.

Gets the job done

I was running low on the Lancome cleanser and went in to buy it and realised they had the cleanser, toner and this eye makeup remover for $100. They are slightly smaller than the regular ones but you still get 125mls per bottle

This comes in a clear plastic bottle, with the signature Lancome Rose embossed into the plastic, it has a screw top lid that fits securely around the opening of the bottle.

This has the 2 layers an oily layer and a watery layer and sitting on my shelf it looks like those old lava lamps before they got switched on, anyway you have to give it a really good shake to mix the 2 together before you apply it to a cotton pad.

I find you almost have to saturate a cotton pad before pressing it against your eyes for 30 seconds to 1 minute. It works a treat at dissolving heavy eye makeup before gently wiping away any excess that has been left behind. I do have sensitive peepers and sometimes eye makeup remover sees me dancing some strange dance moves. But this is fantastic and I haven't pulled out any fancy dance moves whilst using this.

While I do love this I'm trying to be a bit more money conscious (damn dairy payout) I do like it and it does get the job done but there are also cheaper options around.

I got a mini size

Worked very well, gentle and minimal effort needed to remove eye makeup. I wouldn't however willingly pay upwards on $70 for this product.

Works

I got a small bottle of this free with a Lancome purchase. It is gentle on my eyes and it removes my Clinique mascara (that I have reviewed about needing the Clinique "Take the day off balm" to get off) so that's good but I did need a bit of time to get it ALL off. It's an expensive brand so I probably won't buy more when it runs out but I do like it.

Tips: Shake before use to mix and hold on closed eyes for a few seconds before wiping/rubbing.

Dang, that price!

The Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover is an effective, expensive makeup remover. I accumulated a few travel sized deluxe samples of these from Lancome GWPs however I will not be purchasing a full size. This product is applied using a cotton pad, holding it over the eye for a least 30 seconds, before wiping over the eye. If the cotton pad is held over the eye for a decent amount of time, there is no need for any rubbing action. This is essential for saving those beloved eyelashes. This product removes all eye makeup, waterproof included.

The reason I won't be purchasing a full size Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover is because it just cannot compete with my ZA cleansing oil. The ZA cleansing oil is $14, removes eye and face makeup in one go, and is simply gently rubbed over the face before rinsing. The Lancome Bi Facil is pricey, covers only one step of makeup removal, and needs cotton pads. Cotton pads are an extra cost and not exactly environmentally friendly. I will continue to use this product when travelling, as it isn't as messy as the ZA cleansing oil, however I will not be purchasing the full size.

Tips: Hold the cotton pad over the eye for a least 30 seconds to minimise the amount of rubbing action that is needed.
