Removing makeup can be a chore after a long day. My skin sometimes feel sticky after using an oil-based makeup remover.

I received a sample of Bifesta and I decided to put it to test last night.






I was quite deterred by the term “water-based” because oil has been known to break down pigments in makeup. Makeup is waterproof, what can a water-based makeup remover do?

Then again, I was so tired and “non-rinse” appealed to me. I tried the sebum cleansing lotion which is most suited for my combination skin.

Indeed, the cleansing lotion wasn’t oily at all. It looks like water on my cotton pad. I would love to show you a picture but you will probably say I’m lame because it is literally looks like water.

I immediately went for my eye area and off came the hardcore mascara and gel eyeliner. It was that good!

My skin was spared from the sticky after-feel and all my makeup was gone with minimal effort. I didn’t feel a need to rinse my face at all. The cleansing lotion was refreshingly light!

I have sensitive eyes and some makeup removers cause my eyes to turn red upon contact. Yes, sometimes even when I close my eyes. However, Bifesta didn’t cause any redness despite the warning below - avoid contact with eyes.



I’m not kidding you. My eyes are so sensitive I have to use extended wear contact lens from Air Optix or Johnson & Johnson which cost a bomb. Sadly, my eyes still turn red after 8 hours of usage. I have tried Biomedics and Bausch and Lomb but they never fail to make me tear after merely 4 hours.
