You might recall a while back when I first tried Simple eye make-up remover and reviewed it against a Clarins one.
Well I’ve bought a new make-up remover and wanted to review it benchmarked against Simple.
Pictured left is the Simple and Garnier side by side. The Simple is a watery type of remover and the Garnier is a ’sensitive’ two-in-one water and oil version (you know, the kinds you have to shake before using).
The first removal of eye make-up is pictured in the top row of cotton pads. The Simple removes most make-up in the first wipe, while the Garnier definitely takes two wipes to get all the mascara from my eye.
The Garnier is very oily and smears mascara across the skin as you remove it, so actually needs a second wipe to clean up the mess it makes. And afterward it leaves your skin feeling very oily.
Simple on the other hand quickly and cleanly removes make-up and leaves skin feeling fresh. Simple is the clear winner this time around too.
Unfortunately I ‘m commited to my bottle of Garnier now that I’ve purchased it 
Oh thanks! great review, was looking at buying an eye make-up remover and will def get the simple one. I <3 PPP. X
I’ve always been curious about Simple products.. and now I know! Thank-you
Wierd. I’m pretty sure that’s the Garnier one I use, and I don’t find it oily at all. It leaves my skin nice and fresh.
Megan, maybe you use the ‘Clean and Fresh’ Garnier in the green bottle?? The ‘Clean and Sensitive’ one I have feels awful to apply make-up over too. Oily.
No, it’s definitely the clean and sensitive one (i checked last night).
But I only ever use it at night to take my makeup off, and put mousturiser on straight away, so maybe that’s why I don’t notice.
Looks like we could do a dud swap, Megan… you can have my Garnier for sure.
I second that. In fact I third and fourth that. I have been using Simple for years and I didn’t know how good it was until I bought a different brand (can’t recall which) and it didn’t remove all my eye make-up, plus it made my eyes all hazy for the next 20 minutes after using it. It’s true what they say, you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone – I’m back with Simple and I’m not looking for anything else…
