Byphasse's Face Soft Cleansing Milk and Face Soft Toner Lotion Review.

Hello again. I'm sorry I haven't been able to make posts more often but I just don't have a lot of time :(. Anywayz I'm back with another of my bold reviews :P
In this post I will be reviewing 2 face products from Byphasse, the Soft Cleansing Milk and the Soft Toner Lotion. These are 2 products that I have them for sooooo long so I have a clear opinion about them. I have already finished the toner and my milk is also to its end soon (it will be in my empties :D )
Byphasse is a spanish company that its products can be found in Romania long time now and only a few years in Greece. They are really cheap and in big quantities.

Soft Cleansing Milk
It comes in a white bottle of HALF A FREAKIN LITER (500ml) with a pump on top which I find very practical and convenient because you don't waste a lot of product with containers with a pump. So plus 1 for this. The product itself it's a creamy white semi-liquid (not that runny, even thought it's a cleansing milk). It has a faded soft smell to it that doesn't really bother me (and i do get annoyed from smells). It's pretty standard to use, you just pump on your hand and massage your face with it and them remove with a wipe, cotton, cloth or/and rinse with water. It can be used to the face as well as on the eyes. At this point I think I will make a pros and cons list right here.
Pros:
- Cleans stubborn makeup (eyeliner, mascara) with the least effort and without having to rub again and again.
- It leaves the skin soft.
- Very big quantity so it lasts forever.
- Very cheap.
- Easy to find (super markets, cosmetic stores etc.)

Cons:
- It feels just a bit greasy but it works great.

It definitely takes 4/5 

Soft Toner Lotion
The toner comes in a pinkish sort of transparent bottle of half a liter as well but without any sort of pump, it does have a smaller plastic cap inside that has the tiniest hole so you won't spill too much product so good work on the packaging. The liquid is pinkish and it has a fresh maybe a bit sweet smell to it.
Pros:
- Nice smell.
- Cools off the skin.
- Leaves the skin feeling fresh, clean and regenerated.
- Again, huge bottle, tiny price.
Cons:
- Doesn't really have but then again you don't really find often toners that are bad.

I give again 4/5 

Have you tried any Byphasse products? Do you like them?

Blanchette's Micellar Cleansing Water VS Bioderma's Sensibio H20 (review)

For those who don't know, Blanchette is a very affordable exclusive brand of the Kaufland stores. So in countries that there are Kaufland stores you can find most of the Blanchette products.

As I probably mentioned in previous posts I prefer removing my makeup with "water" cleansers and not with milk ones mostly because milk cleansers are usually greasy and the water ones are more suitable for sensitive skins and they USUALLY contain less chemicals.
My absolute FAVORITE water cleanser is of course the Sensibio H2O by Bioderma, but I always like to try other products that might be as good as my sensibio ones for a better price, why not ne?



A few words about this product, it's a clear solution that barely has any smell to it. It comes in a normal plastic bottle with a cap, not like we need any special bottle when it comes to cleansers. So no problem there. It cleans quite well the face makeup, you don't have to go through your face again and again to clean it, I'd say maximum 2-3 times and you are clean from foundation! Now for the hard part which is the stubborn mascaras and liners you do have to damp very well your cotton pad and let it a few seconds to make the removal easier but if you use a very stubborn gel liner it will take you a few minutes to clean it all off.

It didn't break me out, it didn't give me any rashes or anything like that and I do have a sensitive skin so it gets thumb up. It is extremely affordable since a 200mL bottle costs less than 2EU! How awesome?
In comparison with my 17EU Bioderma I'd say there is not a huge difference in quality to spend those 15euros in plus for it since it does the exact same job. The only difference is that the Sensibio one has no smell at all so it might be more suitable for those with ridiculously sensitive skin (but I doubt it since I have quite sensitive skin myself and I had no problems with the Blanchette).

I recommend this product. It has the whole package, it works well and it's cheap.
I grade it with 4.5

Cleansing Products that I love

As I mentioned in older posts, my skin is very sensitive and gets flaky with red dots in the winter. Having such a -difficult to cope with- it has always been hard for me to find products for my face, moisturizers, foundation, cleansers etc.

I tested a few products, most of them usually made my skin itchy or burning but I found 2 products that work for my skin. One is on the expensive and the other one is on the cheaper side.

Biotherm's "Biosource Biosensitive" Dermo-soothing cleanser

Very smooth, very gentle, fragrance free. It has a think consistency and makes a nice foam. Leaves the skin with a "clean" feeling and it doesn't give me any itchiness or the feeling that my skin has dried. Awesome, product - along with most of the products from this particular line - but it's around 25+ euro. The good thing is that it's quite large so it lasts long other than that it's very nice for sensitive skins.

Avon's "Clearskin Blemish Clearing" Foaming Cleanser
Slightly fragranced but not annooying - at least for me. I have to say about the same things as for the biotherm. This one does not have a thick consistency thought, it's more liquid-ish and a lot of times I pour way more than needed so I always waste more product that necessary. But the good thing is that it's much more expensive - around 5 euro but it does not last as long as the biotherm.

I really can't choose between them, I use both of them and I love them both. It really depends on your pocket, even though in my opinion it doesn't really matter as one product is cheaper but lasts less whereas the other one is more expensive but lasts longer so it's kind of the same thing.

Always take care of yourselves! :*
