Empties Post #3: Skincare

I've made a conscious effort to try and finish products instead of letting them go to waste, or having a bathroom overflowing with half-empty bottles. This post is centred around skincare products that I have used up over the past few months.

Clarins Extra-comforting Cleansing Cream

Likes

• Creamy - I love the luxurious feel of cream cleansers
• Typical "Clarins" scent
• Very hydrating and doesn't make my skin feel greasy or stripped

Dislikes

• None that I can think of

Would I repurchase?

• Definitely (once I finish my other cleansers)

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution

Likes

• Takes off ALL makeup
• Gentle enough for sensitive skins
• Best makeup remover by far - I tried other cheaper alternatives but nothing came close to this

Dislikes

• The price - it went from about R120 to R190-R200 in little over a year

Would I repurchase?

• Definitely (I'm on my third bottle)

Woolworths Treat Anti-ageing Serum

Likes

• Well-priced for a serum (about R260)
• Nice scent
• Pump bottle

Dislikes

• Not travel-friendly at all (large bottle)

Would I repurchase?

• Maybe

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum

Likes

• Sinks into my skin quickly
• Soft floral scent
• It is very affordable
• Pump bottle
• Perfect for travel

Dislikes

• Not sure how much it really does for my skin (is it as good as a R600 serum?)

Would I repurchase?

• Definitely (I'm on my second bottle)

The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner

Likes

• It hydrates my skin
• It is very affordable (especially on The Body Shop promotions)
• Soft floral scent

Dislikes

• The texture is a bit syrupy

Would I repurchase?

• Definitely (I'm busy with my second bottle)

Have you ever used any of these products? Let me know in the comments section.

Until next time!
