Eye Makeup Removal

I am having trouble getting my eye makeup removed completely. What product and/or technique do you use?

@tansy I have used baby oil for years, and I wear waterproof mascara.

Philosophy's Purity Made Simple never failed me and never irritates my eyes.

I, too, have been using baby oil for man years. Just this year I have added micellar water after the baby oil. It helps clear my vision quicker than waiting for the oil to dissipate.

ETA. I use waterproof mascara as well.

I have been using Avon's eye makeup remover for years and when I don't have it I use Pond's cold cream as a backup.

I use micellar water on a cotton round. Just saturate the round with the micellar water, hold it up to your closed eye for a few seconds and then wipe away your makeup. It works on waterproof mascara, too....and also waterproof sunscreen.

I have consistently used Banilla Co. Clean It Zero cleansing balm for a long time. It's a really great product. Recently, since I was at the bottom of the jar, I decided to finally give Palmer's Skin Therapy Cleansing Oil a try, and I really like it quite a bit. I do a double cleanse at night, first with the Palmer's, to remove makeup, and then with Vanicream cleanser for sensitive skin for actual cleansing.

@SilleeMee I agree w/ the micellar water to remove eye makeup and surface makeup. It really takes a second cleanse to remove sunscreen...either an oil cleanser and also Vanicream works well because it emulsifies and makes a small amount of suds.

I tested the micellar water on spf by wearing a tinted spf. After the 1st cleanse with cotton pad, my white wash cloth with the 2nd cleanse had the light brown tint from the spf on it that was remaining on my skin.

Oh, Happy New Year!!!

So, first...I've used Philosophy Purity Made Simple as my face wash for over a decade...I like it still as it's always been gentle and non-drying for me. But I hate when they keep saying on air how there's "no need for makeup revmover" when washing with it, as they show all the makeup coming off the model. I've scrubbed, used a wash cloth, just as they do on air...I get out of the shower and still there's black mascara under my eyes. It's never worked as a makeup remover for me.

I've used many different makeup removers over the years, all work fine, Clarins, Clinique and most recently I just buy a Loreal one at CVS. I also use the Neutrogena makeup wipes...they take a lot of it off. I don't need both. I mostly use those wipes when I get in bed late, and just don't want to wake up by washing up at that point, I wipe with those...all the makeup comes off my face and eyes with those too.

Wow. I posted before seeing yours...it's never worked in lieu of actual eye makeup remover added to my process for me. Don't know why, no matter how I scrub with it, I still need my makeup remover to fully remove the mascara.

Thanks for all of the responses. I used to use Philosophy's Purity but stopped for some reason.

Any particular brand of the micellular water?

@amyb, I have a bottle of L'Oreal's remover and it doesn't do much for me. 🤷‍♀️

@tansy I start with a facial wipe and then wash my face with facial wash. Years ago I used Vaseline which moistens everything and removes it all. Keep your eyes closed, apply it on one eye, wipe off really good and then take a wipe or wet cloth to remove it all. I never had any problems with using the Vaseline. I don't wear much eye makeup today compare to when I was younger.

I like Garnier. They make a few different formulations. I use their regular "All-in-1". They also have that in a "For Waterproof Makeup", too.

I use a cleansing oil to remove my make-up, eye make-up included. It is completely removed. I then follow-up with my cleansing lotion or balm to cleanse my skin.

I use Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. I take a little between my forefingers and massage on eyelashes for maybe ten seconds or so. Then I take a warm, wet Campanelli cloth that I bought here on QVC and wipe my eyes including even the inner rims. Rinse the cloth a little and wipe one more time. Then I wash my face makeup off using different cleansers I have, primarily Philosophy's Purity Made Simple. I tried using it to remove my eye makeup but it actually burns my eyes. The Clinique Balm can obviously be used to cleanse your entire face, too, but I just save it to use on my eyes.

@amyb

I personally use WEN treatment oils to remove my make-up; however, many skin care brands have cleaning oils. Another good one to try is Paula's Choice or Peter Thomas Roth.

Paula's Choice is on sale right now, too (25% off)!

Another vote for micellar water. It's amazing and you eliminate the need for baby oil (which clouds my vision) or anything else.
