Thanks for all the responses. I have used Purity Made Simple for years and still do, but it doesn't remove all my eyeliner. Thanks again for the suggestions.

So many people love Purity Made Simple, but I do not find it that good at removing eye makeup. My favorite is Lancome, I think it is called Bifical, the blue liquid. Currently I am using Josie's argan oil, because I have a large bottle and I am trying to use it up before I buy something else. It does seem to feel like I've got oily eyes after use, but it does do a great job removing mascara, eyeliner, etc.

I've been using Lancome for years. It's the only product I've found to get off all the waterproof stuff. I still have racoon eyes when I use other products.

@Daysdee Take a cotton square and place a little baby oil on it. Works like a charm. Also, Maybelline has a good one too.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. Inexpensive and good. I have tried Purity made simple and it personally makes my eyes burn, so I can only use it on my face.

Lancome Bi-Facil - the only one I have used for many years. It is award winning!

My favorite eye makeup remover is Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water - For Waterproof Makeup. It's cheap and it works - this one has a blue lid. There is also a red lid Micellar Water from Garnier that removes all other make-up. Both are extremely mild and effective for what they say they will remove.

I use waterproof mascara and will only use L'oreal for waterproof (green bottls). Pretty sure the L'oreal is almost the exact same as Lancome in formulation. Works exceptionally well. I always follow with my oil cleanser and baby shampoo though because my eyes are sensitive and I want absolutely zero residue behind.

I was just going to recommend this too. I've been using it for the past year and I like it a lot. It seems to get all the eye makeup off, and it doesn't burn or sting my eyes at all.

For most of my life I used Pond's cold cream, then washed my face with a second cleanser of choice (this varied over time). But,. Pond's is a little greasey, whereas this micellar water is so refreshing.

I always liked the idea of baby oil, or some other gentle oil, but those things always get in my eyes and it seems to take hours before I can see clearly again. Just doesn't work for me, at all.
