VMV Gentle & Softening Makeup Removing Oil

Running out of makeup remover, I sought out VMV again. 
It was a choice between water- or oil-based. In the end, I opted for the Gentle & Softening Makeup Removing Oil. 
It comes in a very simple white box with the description found on top and at the back.  
I initially thought it can be used as a cleansing oil, but spread all over the face with my bare hands, it was difficult to wash off the oily residue. 
In the end, I found the best method was as instructed, to apply it using a cotton ball/pad. 
Even then, it can be quite oily and I wipe it off with tissue before washing the face with the Red Better Deeply Soothing Cleansing Cream. 
It lifts off the day's dirt and grime when I don't wear makeup, which is most days; and when I do, it does a good job at thoroughly removing it. 
Above, the ingredients list. 
I'd probably look for a less oilier formulation for my next makeup remover. But for those who aren't bothered, this is a very effective, gentle makeup remover for the face. It didn't cause me any skin trouble in the form of breakouts. 
Do visit their website for a host of other products. 
Use within 12 months of opening. 

VMV Hypoallergenics Skin Savvy SPF 60

I'm probably flooding the blog with VMV's now, but just so to get it over with, here is the Skin Savvy SPF 60 indoor-outdoor protective perfector in the new 12ml packaging. 
 Again, in a glue-free box. 
Peek-a-boo!
This is the VMV Armada 60 in a tinted form. 
Creamy, reflective liquid. 
Medium to full coverage indeed. 
Warm-1 corresponds the best to my skin tone. The formula is quite thick for my skin type. While it covers blemishes well, it can sink into the pores at the end of the day. I like that I do not have to apply a separate sunscreen as I am very sure this protects me well from the dreaded rays. It also doesn't smell of sunscreen. For normal to dry skin types, this is a great tinted sunscreen -- on the foundation spectrum, not a tinted moisturizer do note. 
This is probably a great tag-along to the beach or outdoor excursions. The 12ml pump bottle is handy too, and quite practical as it is a product I wouldn't typically use the whole year round.
An introduction to VMV.
