The Alton Brown Approach to Skin Care- Biotherm Biosource 3-in-1


If you're familiar with Food Network guru Alton Brown (who finally lost that unfortunate facial hair. Hallelujah), you know that he claims that the only kitchen tool allowed to be a "unitasker" is the fire extinguisher. It saves kitchen space, that's for sure, so I wouldn't object to a similar approach to beauty, if only for the sake of my overflowing cabinets and drawers.

Biotherm Biosource Miceallaire 3-in-1 is a cleanser, toner & eye make-up remover. The concept sounds a bit scary, considering most toners have this "avoid eye are" clause and usually a recommendation about what to do if you did manage to get it into your eye, and it ends with "call your doctor".

But I'm a brave little beauty blogger, so I gave it a try.

As far as cleansing goes, the 3-in-1 wasn't up to the task. I don't use tons of makeup, but it still failed to thoroughly remove my foundation and required follow-up with something more efficient. Surprisingly, it did much better on my eyes and managed to easily take care of both my mascara and eyeliner, with only a couple of swipes across the area and no need of pulling or rubbing.

The best results were when used as a toner, after a regular cleanser. It made my face feel clean and refreshed with no drying or tightening. I especially like using it in the morning, because it feels so gentle while waking up the skin.

  2. I am surprised that something in this line does not work well. It certainly has a good reputation for quality.

    If you want a cleanser that also removes eye makeup and everything else, Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming Cleanser does a super job for me. It is also very reasonably priced and a little bit goes a long way. It is soap free so you can really get the eye area done thoroughly. It's not a toner, but there is a companion toner in the same line that's alcohol-free - I am using it for winter so my skin won't crack open.
