Best mascara ever. I’m losing lashes and this works to build volume so well.
New formula is too hard to remove.

I don't know what they did to this mascara, but all of a sudden it's so hard to remove! It used to be so easy to take off. Not anymore. Time to change.

I have been using this product for 15+ years and started to think I was going crazy the past few weeks. Then I finally thought maybe I bought the waterproof by accident and started reading the reviews. Whomever decided to change the formula made a terrible decision as at least I won’t be purchasing any products moving forward.
No matter what I do, it tears out my lashes.

I cannot believe that L'Oreal changed this formula without changing the packaging or the name...seems disingenuous at best. The new formula is a tubing mascara (read: tears out your lashes, flakes, cannot build on itself...not anything long-time fans of this mascara want). The questions are (1) will they bring back the true ORIGINAL Voluminous (or continue to waste people's time, money, lashes) and (2) if not, why would you do this to a loyal client base?

I've been using this product for years and have loved it. It has recently changed and I am no longer a fan. It seems like there is less in the tube, it doesn't go on smooth, and seems old from the start. I'm disappointed in the change and will have to find another favorite.

I’ve used L’Oréal Voluminous Mascara for over 25 years. I’ve never used higher-end mascaras because as a contact wearer and allergy sufferer, once I find something that doesn’t irritate my eyes and that I can remove with soap and water or coconut oil, I’m gonna stick with it forever. Well, I should correct that to I used to use it. Because whatever genius at L’Oréal decided to change it only ruined it. I’m so sick of cosmetic companies doing this. Have they never heard what most people know as just plain old common sense: If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it…Please!!! If they’d change it back, they won’t lose all of us!!!

I have been using this mascara for over 10 years and it has definitely changed. I honestly thought i accidentally bought water proof mascara because of how hard it was to come off but when I read the label it was regular mascara. I hope the company realizes how many people are complaining and go back to how they use to make it.

TJ - 21 days ago, Verified purchaser
Formula has changed. I used this product for years and loved how silky it was yet it washed off easily. Now it is more clumpy and it does not wash off easily. It used to dissolve completely with just water but now it takes effort with scrubbing and cleansers to get it to come off and it comes off in waxy/plastic like clumps. This was my holy grail mascara and now it’s ruined by the new formula.

I have used this product for decades and I am so sad you decided to change the formula. I went store to store for months buying up the old mascara formula and have now finally ran out. This is such a disappointment. The new formula makes my eyes tear and clumps the lashes together. This had never been the case in the past. My hope is your team will realize their error and bring back the old formula. Until then I am on to find a replacement..,

I’ve been a loyal user of your Voluminous Mascara for many years, particularly in the shade Blackest Black. However, I’ve noticed a change in the formula recently. Over the past three weeks, I’ve purchased the mascara three times, thinking that the formula in my previous bottles may have dried out. However, I am still experiencing the same issues: the mascara has become clumpy and is much more difficult to wash off. I’ve never encountered these problems with this product before and it’s been a staple in my routine for decades. I was always asked what mascara do you use or are your lashes real. Not anymore. Could you let me know if there has been any recent change to the formula? If so, bring back the original formula.
