Key Ingredients: Cucumber, rosewater, chamomile & lavender extracts nurture and soothe the delicate eye area. Mimosa, blue agave, camapu & prickly pear extracts soothe, hydrate and firm skin. Glycerin, a lightweight moisturizer, softens and hydrates skin and lips.
This makeup remover is formulated to softens and condition the skin while lifting away impurities, and it even tackles waterproof makeup. My eyes have become pretty sensitive so if an eye makeup remover causes even the slightest burning or stinging I won't use it, period. I decided to wear a few of my hardest to remove waterproof formulas- MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Creams & Aqua Eyes to really put this product to the test. These formulas have tremendous staying power, and not all makeup removers are capable of removing these products without lots of tugging and pulling. I was really surprised by how easily and effortlessly Nuance Dual Phase Makeup Remover removed all of my makeup, and did so without any pulling or tugging. I waited and waited for my eyes to start burning or stinging, but they didn't! SCORE!! I just wish that it had fewer chemicals in it, and I see no reason why it needs to contain Red 40 (CI 16035), Blue 1 (CI 42090). It makes no sense to me why this type of product needs any color added-- I would have by far preferred a clear formula!

Overall assessment: I really like this makeup remover. It doesn't burn my sensitive eyes, it leaves my skin soft and supple, and it even removes waterproof formulas with ease. However, I would prefer fewer chemicals in it, and definitely see no reason to add color to this product. It is a really good and economical alternative to expensive department store makeup removers.

Hi! I couldn't agree more! The product is great but I wish those color dyes were not included in the ingredients..So many natural, terrific ingredients tainted by those toxic chemicals.. What a shame..I'm thinking of calling in to the company, for whatever thats worth..
ReplyDeleteI agree-- there is no need whatsoever to include the dyes. I love this product, but would love it much more without the dyes!
DeleteI love love love this product. I can't find it anymore I have been to three cvs stores and it isn't on the shelves does anyone know where it is? It's so refreshing to find a product that works and so disappointing when it's impossible to find
ReplyDeleteHi 88rachellynn, I LOVE this makeup remover too! I bought multiples the last time that I ran out, and haven't checked for it the last few times that I went to CVS. I just checked their website and it isn't listed. I hope that it hasn't ben discontinued! If I see any, I will let you know!
DeleteI'm having the same problem! I love this product and use to buy it at CVS in NYC. Before moving to NYC, I use to buy it at CVS in Florida, but since moving back, I can't find it in any CVS store...why? I miss this product so much. Wish I had stocked up like you did, Lola
DeleteI wish I knew why! I just hope that they are repackaging it, or something like that! I wish that I had a PR contact to ask, but I don't. I wished that I had purchased a bunch of bottles before it disappeared from shelves. I am on my last bottle now, and I have already made a pretty substantial dent in it! I will definitely let you know if I see them anywhere!
