Back by Public Demand: Gatineau Floracil Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

This big, blue bottle has pretty much been all the beauty community can talk about of late and for good reason, it's not often a product is so good that there is public demand that it be resurrected from the beauty graveyard. And yet that is exactly how Gatineau Floracil Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover has made it way back onto many a beauty shelf and wish list.

Admittedly, up until I saw the huge lagoon hued bottle everywhere, I had never heard of Gatineau Floracil Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover. A crying shame as it truly is one of the better eye make-up removers I have tested and with 8 years of beauty blogging experience, you can bet I've tried more than a few! As someone with easily irritated eyes I do struggle with products of this nature, so I was a tad wary when I opened my bottle of Floracil and noticed it is fairly scented. Floral to an extent (no surprise there), not entirely unpleasant but reminiscent of perhaps a baby wipe in terms of fragrance. The good news is along with being non-oily, Floracil has been formulated to mimic the pH levels of natural tears so it is noway aggravating to the delicate eye area.

The older I get, the more convenience really ranks highly on my list of priorities; I don't have time to faff around with leaky or fiddly bottles, nor do I want to add extra steps to my beauty routine - looking at you rinse-off eye make-up removers. Rather wonderfully Gatineau Floracil Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover features a pump-top dispenser and a non-rinse formula; so all you need to do is push down with a cotton pad, swipe on the eye and go. So far I have pitted even my most stubborn mascara's against this floral scented liquid and nothing has stood in its way; it quickly dissolves all traces of eye make-up including waterproof formulations and doesn't leave behind as much as a hint of residue.

There's not too much information floating around in regards to the formula (other than it is wonderful) but from what I have gathered it contains Chamomile to soothe, cornflower to help calm and algae extract to diminish dark shadows. I can't vouch it all of the above claims are true but I do agree it soothes and cools the skin, alongside gently cleansing the area; which is all I can really ask for from a product of this nature.

It's not often products live up to the Instagram hype but I can truly say that Gatineau Floracil Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover has exceed all my expectations and then some. As such it now firmly has warranted a place within my bathroom beauty cabinet and I'd urge you to do the same.
