Clarins v Botanics!

So I was given a very hefty sample of the Clarins Melting gel cleanser (by a friend who works for them!) I really like it for removing my makeup but the scent was a bit too heady for me. Anywho, while perusing the shelves of Boots I found that the Botanics range has the exact same product but with an olive oil base instead. It works just as well and is about half the price! The botanics one is called: Face Nourishing Eye Makeup remover and is £4.88 for 75 ml where the Clarins one is about £16 for 125ml! You only need the smallest bit to get rid of everything and no break outs yet!
