Non-Oily Eye Makeup Remover Pads

Rating:

This makeup remover is very gentle.   It takes off long lasting makeup effectively without stinging the eyes.  It comes with pads soaked in makeup remover lotion.  A point I like to make about the pads, they are of much better quality than the ones I have seen and tried in other brands. They do not have lint nor do they fall apart. The texture is very smooth and hence does not irritate the sensitive eye area.  Although this is not as comforting and smoothing as Clarins’s Gentle eye makeup remover, it is well worth its price at $4.99 CAD, if not exceeded.

Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Lotion

Rating:

This is the most smoothing & comforting makeup remover I have ever tried.  It is oil-free and has rose water + Soya protein to smooth the eye area and strength lashes.   After wearing my contact lenses for 10 hours in an air conditioning environment my eyes and skin are often tired, dry and possibility irritated.  The last thing I want is to have to sting my eyes with a strong detergent-based eye makeup remover.  Not only does this makeup remover take off makeup effectively (except for waterproof & long lasting makeup), but it is also very smoothing. I often soak two cotton pads with this makeup remover lotion and rest them on my eyes for 15 – 20 minutes.  This product is a makeup remover and an eye treatment in one.

Plenitude Eye Make-Up Remover

This is an eye makeup remover that sits in the little red glass box that reads “In Case Of Emergency, Break Open Glass!”  The emergency being when I run out of my beloved Clarins eye makeup remover.   This makeup remover contains vitamins to smooth and condition the eye area; it does not sting nor irritate the eye area, even with my sensitive eyes.   It removes makeup effectively (except for waterproof makeup) and gently.  One thing I hesitate about this makeup remover is the strong fragrance, but it hasn’t bothered me so far.

I seldom repurchase cosmetics / skincare products because I am always on the quest to try out new stuff.  This is an eye makeup remover that I have repurchased 3 times already, it surprise even me.   This is a two-phase makeup remover, with oil being one phase it effectively takes off waterproof or long lasting makeup.   It has cucumber & green tea extracts to help smooth and comfort the delicate area, I don’t experience much smoothing & comforting comparing to other makeup removers but it does not irritate, that is always a plus for two-phase makeup removers.  Of course if I get too much of this stuff in my eyes it will sting, but in general speaking I love this makeup remover and will continue to use it until my quest leads to me something better.
