Stylpro Easy On The Eye (£12.99) is a hydrating jelly cleanser that melts away all traces of makeup including waterproof mascara.  Created with a blend of naturally derived ingredients it is gentle on the skin and easy on the eye.  The hydrating and non-drying formula transforms from a jelly into an enriching milk when in contact with water to leave skin feeling exceptionally clean & smooth.  Available from styltom.
