Yves Rocher Micellar cleansing water in 3 Detoxifying teas and Express cleansing wipes

As I run of wipes and cleansing water at the same time I decided to take advantage of sales in Yves Rocher and stock up. I bought cleansing water and wipes from the same line (scent) – 3 Detoxifying teas.

Price: originally, the price for cleansing water was 11,90€ but after the discount I got it for 5,95€ for 200 ml. The wipes were 9,90€ at the beginning, then for 4,95€ for 20 wipes (original prices in Slovak Yves Rocher shops are lower).

Scent: both products have similar scent although I think the wipes have little bit more freshness in them. The scent is herbal, it reminds me of teas but I wouldn’t be able to identify what kind of 3 teas I smell there. All in all, the scent is ok, nothing strong or weird.

Skin sensitivity: I have very sensitive eyes when it comes to cleansing waters. Even the Bioderma sometimes burns my eyes so I can really tell when something is aggressive or gentle. The Yves Rocher cleansing water and wipes don’t burn my eyes so they are really suitable for sensitive eyes and skin.

Effectively of removing make-up: both products remove face make-up quite nicely, the wipes are wet enough to use alone without adding extra water. I tried using both products to remove eye make-up and that is where the problem starts. They remove eyeshadows but they fail to remove eyeliners or mascaras (and I don’t use waterproof mascaras). I tried hard removing them with either cleansing water or wipes but ended up with fallen lashes and still with lot of eye make-up on. As it says on both products “face and eyes” I expected to have everything removed without problems.

Final verdict: as you can deduct from the effectively section the products don’t do good job at removing eye make-up. I will use them up for face make-up removal but won’t repurchase them again.
