Naturie Cleansing Gel:

“This is the cleansing gel that Coix Seed extract was prescribed. This removes makeup clearly while keeping moisture.”

After use, my skin does feels moist and fresh. It works well for removing lighter makeup and sunscreen. I usually don’t use cotton pads for this and I prefer to use my hand massage it on a dry face also letting it sit for 30 seconds+ between massaging.

Instructions: Can use with cotton, wash and rinse

Heroine Make Eye Makeup Remover:

This was also recommended to me from the Japanese makeup/convenience shop where I bought the cleansing cleansing gel. The recommendation was to use this for eyes and heavy makeup, and follow up with the Naturie Cleansing Gel all over.

Instructions: Shake well, apply to cotton, let sit, wipe

O Hui Real Color Eye & Lip Makeup Remover:

I visited the Korean cosmetics store this time after being disappointed with the Heroine Eye Makeup Remover.

Doesn’t require as much as the Heroine to do the trick: apply to a cotton and let it sit over your eyes for at least 30 seconds.

Instructions: Shake well, apply to cotton, let sit, wipe

Onward to the test:



Products Used: I used some of the toughest products and a few easier to remove.

This Sheiseido mascara is budge-proof. I prefer it over the super popular Heroine Mascara. I caked some on for this test and left some thinner patches.

The Shu Uemura Laque Supreme Shimmer stains the most of my lipsticks.

Underneath is the O Hui Ultimate Cover CC Cusion.

First Test, Let it sit for 30 seconds, then remove:

Conclusion:

Naturie Cleansing Gel:

First Impression: Oooh, moisturing…

I’ve been using this as a cleanser by itself, a body wash, and follow up after makeup remover and oil cleanser. It’s simple and moisturizing. I like it a lot more than the Innisfree Green Tea Cleanser and the MUA Green Tea and Pomegranate cleanser.

Heroine Make Eye Makeup Remover:

First Impression: I guess?

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I don’t care for it.. I need to smother it on to get it to remove tough makeup. It’ll remove that mascara if I’m only using 1 layer, but anything more than that and nope. Expect your lashes to start falling… or wake up to a panda eye… For now I am going to tough it out, hopefully learn to stick to patiently letting it sit on my makeup, and I use it to clean my mascara brush. I don’t plan on repurchasing.

O Hui Real Color Eye & Lip Makeup Remover:

First Impression: Ooooh… it really took off my lipstick

I like this the most of all the makeup removers that I have tried (even over Neutrogena face wipes and Biore Cleansing Oil-in Cotton). It picked up the most makeup instead of smearing it all around. Value-wise, I use less than half of the Heroine, so I’d choose this over the Heroine. I’m still experimenting with oil cleansers, so I will continue to wonder if this step is necessary if I have a good oil cleanser (It’d be nice to have one less step in my nightly routine). This works better than the Heroine for thick layers of waterproof mascara, but I’m not HG set on this one.

When I use this on my face:

Heroine Make, then Illi Cleansing Oil:

Thick mascara: residue panda eyes

Non-heavy duty makeup: it’ll work, but it doesn’t really get the spots closest to my eyes where I am massaging the gentlest..

O Hui, then Illi Cleansing Oil:

Thick mascara: better than Heroine, but also requires patience or else residue panda eyes

Non-heavy duty makeup: works

Notes:

I don’t like rubbing and putting too much pressuring around my eye area

tldr:

Cleansing gel is gentle and gets the leftover residue well

O Hui> Heroine Make even with cost factor
