Review: Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Cleansing Oil & Superdrug B. Pure Micellar Oil

If, like myself, you are very partial to thick eyeliner and those volumising, thickening, budge-proof mascaras then you know that removing your make up can be a difficult task.

In my experience, cleansing lotions and most other make up removal methods always left traces of mascara or eyeliner behind that I'd end up struggling to remove. I'd often find myself rubbing at my eyes in an attempt to get rid of it all which would leave my eyes sore and red.

It's admittedly taken me some time to jump on the cleansing oil bandwagon. Mostly out of fear that it would turn me into a broken out, greasy, shiny mess. As someone with combination skin prone to hormonal break outs, etc,  I avoided giving in and trying them out. Until now, that is.

I have since begun using two cleansing oils and have been doing so for some weeks now. (Keep this in mind when looking at the photos, the bottles were of course completely full when I purchased them!)

Now I wonder why I ever lived without them.

Cleansing oils dissolve your make up (yes, literally). They're a 'deep clean' moisturising product that nourishes the skin as you use them. Believe it or not, they also help to balance your own natural oil production.

If you need a speedy, gentle way of getting your make up off then do consider using a cleansing oil.

To use them simply apply the oil to your entire face (you can wet your face prior to applying the oil but I personally don't feel I need to) and gently wipe away.

Both of these cleansing oils are 100% cruelty free and vegan.

The B micellar oil was the most 'greasy' of the two, though not excessively. Dissolved my make up fairly well. I find I have to use more of this product to get the same results as the Simple one which is its only downfall.

Made with 100% natural grape-seed oil

Vitamin A and E

Dissolves impurities and removes make up

Hydrating


My personal favourite out of the two. Got rid of everything cleanly and smoothly with zero greasy residue. Highly impressed with this one, leaves my skin feeling great after every use. I'm hooked!
