Review: Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover (New & Improved) [Advertorial/Sponsored]

Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover a product which I have been using since Year 2013, has a NEW and IMPROVED formula! Each bottle weighs 230ml.

Check out my review on the previous version of Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover.

Compare to the previous version, the NEW Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover has a smoother jelly-like texture that glides easily on skin to remove makeup with less rubbing and tugging.

the NEW version is indeed smoother and more watery than the OLD version.

It's lightweight formula and superior cleansing ability remove even waterproof makeup and rinses off easily with no sticky or greasy after-feel.

What's more, it contains 40% more moisturizing essence to leave skin dewy moist and softer! Ideal for all skin types!

Ingredients List:
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, PEG-12 Laurate, Mineral Oil, Polyglyceryl-2 Isostearate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Decyl Glucoside, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, PPG-9 Diglyceryl Ether, Fragrance (Parfum), Alcohol, Tocopherol

Usage:
1. Pump an appropriate amount (2-3 pumps) onto hands and spread evenly over face and eye area.
2. Massage gently to dissolve makeup.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water. It is not necessary to remove cleansing liquid with cotton pad or tissue.
4. For best results, apply on dry face and hands. DO NOT use facial cotton pad or tissue.

*Makeup Removal Test
*P.S: I got my mom to help me out for the demonstration pictures as it was easier for me to take the shots.

Here are the pictures featuring my mom's arm flooded with lots of makeup swatches:

Makeup used from left to right:
The Face Shop Power Perfection BB Cream
DHC Medicated Acne Concealer
DollyWink Liquid Eyeliner (waterproof)
K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner (waterproof)
DollyWink Eyeshadows
Maybelline Magnum Cat Eyes Mascara (waterproof)
Secret Key Sweet Glam Tint Glow


Tried and Tested
It did a good job in removing non-waterproof makeup quickly and cleanly in a few rubs, but it did not remove waterproof makeup, particularly eye makeup, as quickly. As shown in the pictures, there were still some traces of waterproof makeup left, which actually can be removed but may require a longer time to dissolve fully. So if you are the type that removes makeup in a haste, it might wear your patience. Anyway, this did not bother me much as I have a habit to use a separate makeup remover — Biore Makeup Remover for eyes & lips, that is designed for eye area.

It rinsed off easily but I felt it left a layer of 'something' that made my skin feels slippery during & after rinsing and before towel dry. Despite that, it did not make my skin feels oily or sticky after towel dry. In fact, it leaves my skin feeling much softer and moisturized.

Let's move on to...

Moisture + Oil Test
using my newly bought device from Japan to prove my claims are true.

Here's the measurement guidelines for you to refer back to later:


*P.S. Analyzing Standards:
The standard value of moisture level is 38%++, 3-5 bars (normal to very moisturized).
The standard value of oiliness (skin type) is 3 bars (normal). - means balanced, which is neither too oily nor too dry.
The standard value of cells (roughness/softness) is soft - happy face.

BEFORE:


AFTER:

Skin's moisture increased from 2 bars to 4 bars; from 34% to 46%.
Oiliness increased from 2 bars to 4 bars.
Skin's cells (.aka. skin texture) feel much softer now.

I was quite puzzled when the result for oiliness increased to 4 bars (oily level), because honestly, my skin did not feel greasy at all after towel dry. But as mentioned earlier, "...it left a layer of 'something' that made my skin feels slippery during & after rinsing and before towel dry". So I took a look at the ingredients list and found out that this product does contain mineral oil, which I guess it might be the cause that resulted in an increase in the oil level. However, it did not cause my skin to breakout as I would always proceed to a second cleanse with a facial cleanser. Therefore, I think it isn't a big issue.

In summary, in my opinion, the new Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover removes non-waterproof makeup effectively and quickly. However, it may take more time to dissolve and remove waterproof makeup completely. After which, it leaves skin feeling refreshed, dewy moist and softer.

By the way, if you are planning to bring along to travel, you don't have to worry about accidental pump/leakage in your luggage or bag because it comes with a lock cap.

awesome~

The NEW Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover is now available in all leading supermarkets, personal care stores and western pharmacies & departmental stores at the price of SGD$24.90.

Review: Biore Aqua Jelly Make-up Remover

Biore Aqua Jelly Make-up Remover
I'm sure this is already highly advertised by many bloggers but well, this is my 'quick' version of review. :D
A rinse-off make-up remover.

Description: 
- Glides easily on skin to remove even waterproof makeup with less tugging
- Rinses off easily and leaves no sticky or oily residue
- Contains 1/3 moisturizing essence — nourishes and hydrates skin for a dewy moist finish

Usage:
*(For best result, apply on dry face and hands. Do not use with facial cotton pad or tissue.)*
- Pump an appropriate amount (2-3 pumps) onto hands and spread evenly over face and eye area.
- Massage gently to dissolve makeup
- Rinse thoroughly with water. It is not necessary to remove cleansing liquid with cotton pad or tissue.

Comes with a lock tab.

Consistency and color:
Transparent serum-like texture.

Scent:
I'm bad at describing scent but well, it smells reeeeeeally good!~

Likes:
- not sticky or greasy
- non-drying
- does well in removing makeup(including almost all waterproof makeup)
- glides on skin easily
- mess-free
- does not break me out
- the pump packaging :)
- the fragrance~

Dislikes:
- sting the eye
- does not completely remove my Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara

Demonstration on my hand :)
From left to right: DHC Medicated Acne Concealer, Holika Holika Jewel-like Eyeliner, The Face Shop Make Me Star Waterproof Gel Liner, Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner, Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara, Canmake Eye nuance Eyeshadow

Pump out the makeup remover and start gently massaging~ You can notice that the makeup is slowly dissolving...

Continue massaging...

Rinse-off with water and dry with towel.

TA-DAAA!~

It did remove almost all traces of makeup on my hand except for the Holika Holika Magic Pole mascara(waterproof). But that doesn't bother me because I seldom wear mascara and if I do wear it, the Holika Holika mascara can be easily removed using warm water. :D Nowadays I only wear BB Cream, concealer and powder foundation. So as long as the makeup remover removes all the makeup I'm wearing without drying up my face, I'm satisfied. :)

July Favorites!

July Favorites I decided to do an early July favorites because I might not have the time to do it at the end of the month. My college life is starting soon and I have so much work to prepare for the brand new semester! New school, new environment, new people, new things to learn and.........my orientation falls on 25th July. AHHH~~!, I'M NERVOUS LIKE HELL! (≥ 3 ≤) 11 days to go before I say 'sayonara'(means 'goodbye') to my vacation...(T¬T)

So...*getting back to the topic~* [...] I only have 4 favorite products this month...
1. DHC Medicated Acne Care Concealer SPF22 PA++
2. Shiseido Spotscover Foundation?/Concealer
3. Biore Hydra Clear Make Up Remover
4. Homemade/DIY Honey Tea Tree Mask
Without further ado, I will just jump straight into the points...

1. DHC Medicated Acne Care Concealer SPF22 PA++

This concealer conceals imperfections and is sweat-proof. Comes in 2 shades.
I have acne scars(referring to light scars) and this concealer works well to cover them up but the only downside is it can't completely cover dark scars. Other than that, everything is OKAY and it DOES NOT break me out~ *thumbs-up* DHC Medicated Acne Care series are for people who have acne-prone skin like me... (T_T)

2. Shiseido Spotscover Foundation?/Concealer


I first saw this in a Youtube video(Link) and I'm amazed by the coverage that it gives! It has a thick and creamy consistency and is VERY pigmented which make it a good concealer to covers up everything(blemishes)! A little dab goes a long way! However, it comes in only 2 shades — S100 and S101. I bought the lightest shade S100 but I still think that it's a little too dark. ):

By the way, my mom super love this concealer! She used this to hide her super dark freckles that she failed to cover them up using other brands concealer. After I let her try using this, she keep on borrowing it from me every single day! (=`3 ′=) This is truly an AMAZING product!

3. Biore Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE this makeup remover! It does a great job on removing my makeup and it's water-based therefore, it does not makes me breakout. Out of all the makeup removers I've used so far, this is THE BEST! I will definitely repurchase it again and agaaaiinnnnnnn!

4. Homemade/DIY Honey Tea Tree Mask
Ingredient:
- ½-1 teaspoon of 100% natural/pure honey
- 1 drop of 100% pure Tea tree oil

Preparation and Application:
-.Mix both ingredients well.
- Apply it on affected areas or whole face for 15-20minutes and wash it off. Use 2-3 times a week.
**Tea tree oil are essential oil which generally volatile and often oxidize to lose their benefit therefore use the mask as soon as possible after preparation.
** Tea tree oil might not suit some skin types.

Honey is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids which aids the skin. It has powerful anti-oxidants which fight free radicals and slow down aging, anti-bacterial properties & anti-inflammatory agent that heals and prevents infections and it is a valuable moisturizer for our skin. Tea Tree Oil is an excellent treatments for acne. It has strong anti-microbal, anti-septic and fungicidal properties.Combined it with honey, it helps eradicate the infections in acne affected areas.

This is the most effective mask I've ever used to kill acne! Like seriously, it works miraculously! Way cheaper, better and fastest result than those pimple gels or whatever chemicals-formulated products sold in the drugstores! Try this out if you're not allergic to tea tree oil. you will be amazed by the result!

So these are some of my favorites products for this month! :)
