The Body Shop Claims:

-Removes make-up
-Suitable for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers
-Removes waterproof make-upUsage & tips : The oil has to be applied on to completely dry face and massaged in, especially on the areas where your makeup is waterproof. You will notice your eye area turn the color of your mascara when you massage it around your eyes. Once you’re happy with the amount of massage done, add water to your face. The oil turns milky and this makes it easy to wash off. In my experience, if you use the right amount of oil, your face will be completely clean & oil free after washing off with water and you may not need to follow up with a cleanser. I almost always use a face wash after this oil, simply out of habit & to get rid of the residue (if any). If I use too much of the oil, it does make eyes foggy during use, if I use the right amount, there’s no fogginess.Demo :Unfortunately I wasn't able to show how the oil turns milky with water, but trust me, it does!(l-r) Eyeconic kajal & some long wearing lipsticks
After washing away the oil with water & a wet wipe.
It takes more efforts to remove waterproof mascara. After I’ve used the Silky Cleansing Oil & washed my face, I follow up with a q-tip soaked with Bioderma around my lashes to get rid of it. When you remove mascara, your entire eye area becomes colored with the shade of the mascara and its difficult to make out just using your fingers if the entire product is dissolved in the oil….at least for me :( However, its extremely easy to get rid of all long wearing, waterproof makeup in a jiffy with this oil, like the Lakme Absolute Foundation & Kryolan Derma Color Cremes.Effects : It doesn’t make my skin greasy, but I feel a little dry sometimes after using this product, compared to other makeup removers I’ve used. That’s why I don’t use it everyday, I like to use Bioderma in between. If you see its ingredients list, it contains a lot of other oils – soyabean, almond, sunflower, sesame & also camomile. It does have fragrance but it has never broken me out or irritated my skin or eyes.All in all I like this product, but the bottle I got is faulty. The product keeps leaking from the neck of the bottle even when I lock the nozzle. I always end up using more than required so that I can keep the bottle clean T.T. I appreciate the packaging – the nozzle can be locked, but I still can’t travel with it because its faulty & will leak everywhere.Product vs Price : Price: Rs. 1095 / $16.4Qty: 200 ml / 6.75 oz Availability : The Body Shop WebsiteIts seemingly pricey, but I could not find any cheaper dupes of it in the Indian market, yet. You get a whopping 200ml so it will last you a 2-3 months with regular use. Overall Verdict : 4.5/5The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil is a very effective makeup remover & takes care of removing even waterproof makeup. I did face a bit of hiccup with waterproof mascara but I have a feeling that its just me ! I do feel like its more drying than other makeup removers I use so I don’t use it daily but its my goto when I want to quickly get rid of all my long wearing makeup & it never disappoints. I will repurchase it if I’m not bored of using it, LOL#SkincareWeek is a special series - Each day of the week I'll present you with a new skincare product. 7 skincare products carefully tried & tested out for you!
