Eye Make Up Removal

Do you use a separate eye makeup remover at night or just your facial cleanser?

Neutrogena eye makeup remover. Recommended by my opthmalogist.

I don't use a separate makeup remover. The cleansing oil I use at night does the job very well.

I have a microfiber cloth from Bed, Bath & Beyond. Whatever cleanser or oil I'm using and a very gentle wiping with this cloth takes it all off.

I am so scared of "oil" - build up on lash follicles, causing puffiness, etc. I'm wondering if there is a gentle lotion that isn't oily/greasy?

It might have something to do with the particular oil being used. With the one I use, I massage it in first, then add some water and massage some more. Finally, I wipe everything off with a clean, warm, wet washcloth. No negative side effects.

About 1 1/2 years ago, I purchased Philosophy Purity (it was a 3 peace set - TSV with HIAJ and Micro Delivery) and I found that it works extremely well for your entire face including eye make up and mascara. My eyes are very sensitive and almost always have issues with most eye make up remover. When I use this, I have no problem whatsoever. I also have sensitive skin. All the make up removers with oils in them are very irritating to my eyes, so I would not recommend them. Purity is a cool lotion not greasy nor is the ponds cold cream type which is also irritating to my eyes and skin. Purity is your safest bet and I've been around a long time and tried numerous products at all prices of the spectrum. Hope this helps.

I think it really depends on the type of mascara you use. I use ""Blinc"" mascara (a tube mascara) so it comes off easy with a face cleanser. I have used ""Purity"" for years.

I really like the ALMAY OIL FREE eye makeup pads. I use one (one side on each side) then cleanse face with CeraVe in shower.

Yes. When I use TM Volumzing I can just wipe it off. Benefit, They're Real requires Sephora's e/m remover (it is fantastic)' and anything else I can just use my cleansing oil. But, I like a separate remover for anything other than the TM which, like Blinc, is a tube mascara.

Johnsons' Baby Shampoo.

I learned about it on this forum. Dermatologist recommended. No oiliness, and it's great for sensitive skin and sensitive eyes. Love it, been using it for years ... and it's cheap!

I tried Almay and this was very irritating to the oils. The pads are greasy and remain on your eyelashes. I would not recommend this product if you have sensitive eyes.

Never have I used a separate cleanser for the eyes. I have used a cruelty free brand similar to J&J baby shampoo to cleanse my eyes as a medical issue recommended by my opthamologist. I do that once in a while.

I use Tatcha, the newish JM cleanser in a jar with the double sided cloth and Eve Lom with the muslin cloth. No separate eye cleanser is necessary.

I make a point to only use washable eye makeup. Therefore removal is easy, I just use soap and water. I have an aversion to using any type of remover near my precious eyes.

Another vote for Neutrogena Oil Free Remover. It's a dupe of the more expensive Lancôme Bifacil and always takes off all my eye make up easily.

Klorane w/a cotton pad... it removes everything around my eyes without pulling the skin, then I cleanse.

Soap & water works the best for me but I do use an eye makeup remover on occasion.

I use Alpha Hydrox foaming facial cleanser and it removes all my makeup. I don't wear anything waterproof though.

I have used purity mostly for many years. But, it does not remove every mascara brand I use.

I have found that almost every other emu remover irritates my eyes. (tried most of the drug store brands) I don't care for most of the oil mix removers. I can feel residue left on my eyes and I don't care for the delivery system. (I know, I have a few quirks!) I have found 2 that don't leave me red, burning and irritated.

Simple eye makeup remover pads-I like having wipes at my vanity. They allow me to do spot clean ups when neccessary and I travel with them.

Kate Sommerville tru lash eye enhancing remover-this is a creamy lotion that rubs on, washes or wipes off. I use this at the sink for hard mascara days. I have had my tube for 1 1/2 years. I was at my wits end for finding a product that I could use, so I bit the bullet and splurged. I would love to find a dupe for this, as it is pricey. But, if I don't find one, I will re-buy this since I know it works for me.
