[Review] Vichy Laboratoires 3in1 Calming Cleansing Solution Review


Today I will be reviewing Vichy's 3 in 1 calming cleansing solution or what I just like to call my make-up cleanser. The bottle says it is suitable for sensitive skin and eyes and the 3 properties is that it 1. Cleanses; 2. Removes make-up; and 3. Soothes. It is a very watery solution but I absolutely love it! First of all it takes off all my make-up leaving my face feeling fresh without drying my skin and irritating it. If anything my face actually looks softer after using the cleanser. I use this before my actual face cleanser and this is currently my 2nd bottle.

Ingredients: Aqua, Hexylene Glycol, Glycerin, Poloxamer 184, Rosa Gallica, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Disodium Edta, Propylene, Glycol, Panthenol, Dihydrocholeth-30, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Parfum.

The only downside and the reason why I switched make-up cleansers is because you have to use cotton pads with such solutions and everytime I take off my make-up I use about 3 cotton pads each time (for my eyes I use simple eye make-up remover), and the bottle itself costs £10.50 in Boots however after experimenting I have come back to Vichy. My last make-up remover was Shu Uemura's Cleansing Oil and though it was absolutely brilliant at removing make-up, I found that even the one for dry skin was too drying for my face and so the costs work about the same. All in all I would definitely recommend this for combination/dry skin types and Boots is having a 3 for 2 offer across all skincare right now!
