This is a decent eye makeup remover. It definitely does remove even my stubborn waterproof mascara, but it stings my eyes a bit. Most dual action or whatever eye mu removers remove waterproof mascara very well though, so I will opt for the ones that don't sting (L'oreal)

This is the only eye makeup remover that can remove my waterproof mascara easily. I really like it, but it's very oily. I'll use this until I find a less oily makeup remover that does the same job.

I've used a whole bottle of Marcelle's makeup remover and was very satisfied with it. When I ran out of it, I bought Neutrogena's Oil-Free Makeup Remover because of all the great reviews I had heard about it. I started using it and that's when I realized how great Marcelle's makeup remover was! Compared to it, my Neutrogena makeup remover does little to nothing! lol
This product takes off everything after using a couple cotton rounds, even waterproof mascara. It did not bother me but I had to clean my bottom lashes again in the morning because I could see a little residue of mascara (my lashes are blond). Just be careful not to break the cap like I did cause it's just a pain to use after a while. This lasted me about 4 months:)
*** EDIT: Bought another bottle of this, it's still a great value.

It gets off every trace of waterproof mascara gently, with very few lost lashes, even for toughies such as CoverGirl Lash Blast, and with little irritation to my eyes. I've gone through about 3 bottles so far. I'm trying to repurchase but I can't seem to find it anywhere right now! So sad.

A sales rep told me that sales from this makeup remover make up over half of their makeup sales! It's that popular. The only thing I don't like is that if I get the remover in my eyes, my eyes get a little foggy temporarily from the oil. Oh and it doesn't travel that well - be sure to store it in a separate plastic bag because it will leak. But it's the best and cheapest eyemakeup remover I've used so far for removing waterproof eyemakeup hassle-free.

this is actually my first eye makeup remover, so i can't draw comparisons. for me, it does removes eye makeup easily. after you shake it up, the product stays mixed for a long time, which is good. it is a tad greasy, but does not bother me at all. however, i will not repurchase because it stings my eyes a little bit.

This is hands down the best eye make-up remover I have ever used (and continue to use). I couldn't even tell you how many bottles I have been through by now. What I can tell you is I bought 4 bottles when I cashed in my Shopper's Optimum points (high five, Canadian girls!). I hoard this stuff, it's total HG. It removes my fluidlines, eyeshadow and waterproof mascara without any harsh 'burning' or 'stinging'. I do have sensitive eyes and for some reason I find that oil-based eye make-up remover does a way better job than non-oil. I like that I don't have to use very much of this either. Typically a bottle will last me 3 months, maybe longer. I use make-off (HG) cotton pads with this. You can find this on sale at SDM often, check it out! $12.99 CDN @ SDM.

I'm on my second bottle. I don't notice any stinging what so ever. I shake the bottle well and it removes even two coats of waterproof mascara! What I do is soak a cotton pad and gently swipe over my entire eye and under then use a qtip and rub off any eyeliner. I leave my mascara to melt off with the makeup remove and wash my face. It works fine!
The stuff is cheap, does what it says! I use this only for my eyes and occasionally my lips. for the rest of my face I use Vichy Cleansing Lotion for Face and Eyes to remove the foundation and powder, etc. The only thing i dislike is the packaging. I would prefer a pump top or a smaller opening. When i bought this from Shoppers Drug Mart, it came with eye gel cream and sample foam face wash .
I introduced this to two of my friends. One loves it and threw out her L'oreal eyemakeup remover. The other one didn't bother rebuying cuz she's got super sensitive skin. she suspects this is giving her white bumpies. It didn't do taht to me...but none the less. worth a try. Different strokes for different folks.

A very good eye makeup remover. I wear waterproof L'Oreal mascara everyday (blame the oily eyelids) and this is by far the best removed I have found that can do this without too much effort, isn't oily, and feels soothing. The green tea and cucumber extracts are a nice touch. The only thing I don't like is the packaging, the spout is way too big and i've made a mess a few times. But I love the product so much that I am already on my second bottle (alhtough one 150ml bottle lasts about 4 months with everyday use.

This stuff remove all my shiseido mascara. This is a great alternative to bifacil who is tested on animals. And this stuff is really cheap at 12$can. But its a little too burning for me. I prefer the Lise Watier one.

This isn't an oil free eye makeup remover so it does leave a greasy residue BUT as with all non oil free makeup removers, this is quite effective. Removes all traces of makeup with VERY little effort! I haven't experienced ANY burning at all and it's very gentle on my sensitive contact wearing eyes!!.. In regards to the review below, shouldn't u take out your contacts when u are removing eye makeup? hmm.. i always thought that u shouldn't even be rubbing your eyes when u have contacts in (hard or soft). anywayz... great product.. price is a little steep for that brand i would say but all in all i would repurchase simply because it does what it says!!!

This product does what it claims to do. It easiy removed my waterproof mascara gently and without stinging my eyes. However, it did fog up my hard contacts lens until i removed them and wiped the residue away. I will probably try to find a non-oily version next time.

I am writing a review for the duophase eye makeup remover. The product I bought was 180 ml and cost $11.99 at London Drugs. It removes my eye makeup thoroughly without any scrubbing or harsh treatment. Realistically it rivals Lancome Bifacil for a fraction of the cost. I have tried both and prefer the Marcelle for the better value. A bottle usually lasts me 4 to 5 months.

Even though it does remove waterproof eye makeup, you have to work at it a bit and it burns like a mofo. It was like squeezing liquid soap into my eyes mixed with sand. I would not recommend if you have sensitive eyes.

Love this product.Works wonders on my eyes, although yes, I could do without the sensation... and would improve packaging. Aside from that, Marcelle has another thumbs up from me.

I'm on my second bottle now, and have been using this for about 3 years. Really good stuff! I not only use it for eye makeup but for really sticky lipglosses as well (I'm talking to you MAC!). It a bit oily, but I find that it helps take off the lipgloss better. On my eyes it could do without the slick feeling. I'll probably try the regular version next time.

I got this in a trial size sample. This is a pretty good eye makeup remover. Doesn't sting at all. It says that I can put it in the fridge and then apply it on my eyes overnight to relieve puffiness as well. I feel this is an ok product but probably will not purchase cuz I don't really use this very often.

Yea this stuff is great. Every other makeup remover I've tried, doesn't come close to this. It gets off my ton of mascara with ease and doesn't sting at all if I get it directly in my eye. It is slightly oily though, so I use the regular oil-free version instead which is also doesn't sting (but I don't have sensitive eyes anyway) and gets the same result. The choice is yours.

this m/u eye remover was recommended to me by a SA as one that is comparable to lancome bifacil..which I was using and loved except for the $..the marcelle is in the same formula with added green tea and cucumber extract and works the same way as lancome's..except the $ is almost half...the pkge could be improved as with liquid I prefer something that could be squeezed out for less waste and fuss....highly rec for canadian women..
