I need a suggestion about eye makeup remover.  I have sensative eyes.  I don't use waterproof mascara.  Thanks

I've developed sensitive eyes in the last few months. I've found vaseline works the best for me to remove eye makeup. Other removers cause my eye lids to burn, swell and turn red.

I use take off the day makeup remover by Clinique. I have tried everything out there and I keep coming back to this one. I find that it's very gentle and basically melts my mascara off with no effort.

I have sensitive skin and wash my face with a quality baby wash (aveeno) - it removes everything and is ph balanced. if I need a "scrub" I mix it with baking soda for a paste and gently swirl it around to deep clean my skin and when I rinse it - it feels like a glass surface.  (.... I'm 60, so it's no easy feat to do that)!

I also use the Clinique Take It Off eye makeup remover.  Seems to work fine.  Don't have any issues with irritation or stinging or burning.

Organic jojoba oil works wonderful for me (even with waterproof mascara).  It doesn't burn or irritate my eyes, and it's good for the skin.  I always keep it around for hair oil treatments and for my cuticles, so it also eliminates another bottle cluttering my counter.

I developed an allergy to Lancome mascara this year, and moved to Tarte mascara.  I have used Vaseline in the past to remove my makeup, but I bought the 2 32oz bottles of purity and love it.  Purity leaves your face as soft as a baby's bottom.

I have sensitive eyes and use Purity on a Campenelli microfiber makeup cloth. No tugging or pulling on the eyelid and everything comes off in one swipe.Now if I put two layers of mascara on then I need to do a second swipe but no problems.

I use Lancome Bi-Facil eye make up remover.

@matty liz   I've been using Lancome's Bifacil for quite awhile. My eyes are sometimes sensitive and I have no issue with this one.
