Eye makeup remover for super sensitive eyes?

petepetey — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 13:31:25 GMT

I can't wear mascara much anymore because nothing will remove it without stinging my eyes and making them red the next day.

Does anyone have something that works to remove makeup without hurting their eyes?

I have the same issue with eye makeup remover; however, not quite as bad as yours. I have found that the best for me is Almay oil-free remover.

Mary Kay Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover is wonderful. It's the only one that I can use.

I have very sensitive eyes. I use Clinique Take the Day off eye remover in purple bottle, its pricey. But, every time I use something different it doesn't take my eyeliner off.

I started using the Kirkland Facial Cleansing Cloths from Costco about a month ago and they're working very well for me.

I love Blinc mascara. It nevers flakes or gives you racoon eyes. The best part is how easy it is to remove. Just warm water applied with a washcloth, hold it on your eyes for 10 seconds and the "tubes" just slide off. I've given up all other mascaras because Blinc is the best of all of them. And it is gentle on your eyelashes. Check it out. I buy mine on lovelyskin.com

I use Albolene to take off all of my make up and eye make up too. It is thick and clear like vaseline...but when you rub it in your hands and on your face it liquifies. Takes off all make up including waterproof mascara. I use a warm wash cloth to gently wipe it off. Then I wash my face with a creamy cleanser. Albolene is cheap and can be found at most drug stores. I sensitive skin and this works fantastic!!

I have good luck and no irritation with Physicians Formula Eye Makeup Remover Lotion. I smear it on with a fingertip, rub gently then wipe off with a damp cotton pad. Think I ordered it from drugstore.com All the clear liquid ones I've tried including Clinique's Take The Day Off leave a whitish residue on my eyelids. The Physicians Formula one is a liquid but it's creamy, not thick but sort of like a hand lotion would be.

I have the same problem as you do. My eyes are so very sensitive and I have used Lancôme for years. It is the best and you don't have to buy it that often. Just put it on a piece of cotton and remove your mascara. It really does a very good job and am sure you will be pleased with it.

I still maintain Purity by Philosophy, it really works, better than other high end products.

Another vote for Albolene!

My eyes are so sensitive. I use liquified coconut oil. You can buy coconut oil that is not thick or solid. It's clear and liquified at room temp, just like oil. In fact you can even use olive oil. I like the coconut oil. It seems less greasy and smells better.

Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover, available at Target, is terrific and very gentle. Someone on this board recommended it and it's a great product. Costs about $10 or so if I remember correctly, for a big bottle.

Neutrogena Oil Free Make-up Remover.

Takes off "everything" & doesn't sting...the best I've ever used.

I also have issues with Mascara making my eye itchy.

I love, Tarte or Laura Geller, the only ones I can wear.

My eyes are very sensitive too, I can't use most eye makeup removers because they sting. I've been using Johnson's baby shampoo ( the yellow bottle) it takes everything off without any irritation.

My balm cleansers remove my mascara. You can also use oil - coconut oil, olive oil, etc. You can use some on a cotton ball/pad or just apply with fingers.
