This product is very gentle and doesn't strip your eyes of it's moisture while removing all the makeup. It doesn't take long to remove any stubborn eye makeup like waterproof mascara and provides soothing sensations because of the olive oil.
The packaging is great because I can control the amount of product that comes out and it's hygienic! Little goes a long way and it lasts forever. Very different from typical eye makeup removers that come in liquid form. This remover is more like gel textured and is very moisturizing to the eye area.
I would most definitely recommend this product since it's amazing and the price is very budget friendly!

This is really a fabulous product for removing mascara and eye make up. I love that the ingredients are simple (mostly olive oil). I recommend this for anyone who wants something inexpensive, pure, and quick.

I've tried a lot of different things over the years --- Shu Uemura cleansing oil, Clarins, Klorane, Lancome, Natura Bisse, Tatcha.

This one works just as well if not better than all of those. And it only costs $6.99. I usually apply some to dry skin, rub it really well around my eyes and especially my lashes, rinse it off (it rinses off very cleanly), and then follow with my mild cleanser (I use Aesop). I find rinse-off makeup removers much easier to use, as manipulating cotton pads around the crevices of my eyes seems to be an ineffective way to get off all of my mascara at once (I don't even cake it on like some people do).

Highly recommended!

This product gets the job done in the most soothing manner. The eye makeup remover literally melts into your eye makeup. This makes it that much easier for you to just wipe it all away in one shot! I love this product!!!
Also, it lasts very long due to the rather large tube it comes in. Hey, I'm not complaining :-)

Very nice everyday eye makeup remover. Lightly moisturizes the eye area without making it too greasy. It is the only product I've found that absolutely never burns the eyes. I've found this isn't very effective at removing waterproof mascara, but I don't use it very often, so for me it's not an issue. On my second bottle.

I had real trouble with this... If you have wet fingers and squeeze it out the consistency changes to a milky coloured water and ran off your hands before you even got to your eyes. I ended up just smearing make up around my face, and considering how much I wanted to like the natural qualities of this product I was really disappointed.

Multitasker Product! I use this to remove not only my eye makeup but ALL my makeup. I then follow up with my CeraVe Hydrating Gentle Cleanser. It does a brilliant job removing all my makeup with out stripping my severe, sensitive, intolerant, angry, skin. I couldn't be happier. It's a gem of a product find for dual purpose. I've always wanted to try an oil cleansing product. However, even some of the best were filled with ingredients my skin could not handle. What's not in this product formulation makes it ideal for every skin type-including my angry skin. I deal with mild eczema on my right eyelid as well as mild SebDerm around my nose and chin. This does not aggravate either conditions. Hydration is key for any skin type but more so with those dealing with compromised skin. I can enjoy wearing makeup again! The removal of my products seemed to be the problem in the past. I always had to overwash to remove makeup because my cleanser was not formulated to do such a task. Which in turn always caused my skin conditions to flare or not improve. I highly rec this product! The product size(tube) is a small amount and the flip top lid isn't great if using as a full face makeup removal. Though, those looking for eye makeup removal purposes only- it's most definitely a perfect addition. So glad I found and tried this product. I will be stocking up on this Boot's Product!

I love this product. I use it to remove all my makeup. It has a nice feel to it upon application and turns.milky with a little water. It does an excellent job and it leaves my face soft and smooth without any tightness. Simple ingredients and absolutely no nasties.

I've struggled to find a eye makeup remover that removes eye makeup... go figure! This stuff works! I'm not left with a ghost of mascara which would eventually work its way into any crease it could find. I love this product because it does what it is supposed to do. The ONLY complaint I have is that occassionally I experience some cloudiness with my vision if I work the product too much and some gets past my lids to my eyes.

This didn't work for me either. I don't even use waterproof mascara, I only use regular mascara, and this didn't take anything off! I think what I am going to have to do is use this one first, and use one of my trusty ones after. I guess some products work for some people and not for others...

I am happily surprised by this product and would definitely purchase this again!

I bought this on a whim at Target because I wanted to try out the Boots line. I like that Boots lists the % amount of natural products at the very top right of their products. I feel this is very honest and not misleading for consumers.

The other reason I purchased this is because I have been looking for an effective, natural eye makeup remover but haven't been able to find a good one. I read online that Olive Oil is an effective remover and came highly recommended. In addition, the price was decent, although the amount of product isn't very much.

Regardless, this has become my #1 eye makeup remover, my HG. To me it is FAR superior than many non-natural removers so why not stick to more natural removers?

Pros:
- Extremely gentle and works quickly. I never tug at my eyes, I just let the product sit and it does its magic.
- I swipe about twice and most of my eye makeup is removed
- Is very moisturizing and my eyes seem to drink it up
- No need for a cotton pad! You can just use your fingers... I find this especially convenient when I use it in the shower! And this helps to save money on cotton pads (yaaay...not that these are expensive but I feel its wasteful sometimes).
- Takes off my waterproof mascara without a problem (I'm currently using CoverGirl)

Cons:
- Takes a little getting used to. Some people may not like using their fingers but I kind of think this may be more gentle than a cotton pad if you use light fingers
- Not a whole lot of product I think, but this kind of depends on what your reference point is. I haven't used the whole tube so not sure how long it will last, but my sense is it will last me a few months (maybe 3-4?)

I absolutely LOVE this remover and never thought I would actually say I love an eye makeup remover. I definitely think this product is worth the cost to try it.

I have tried many types of eye make-up remover and to find that even after tugging and pulling, most eye make-up remover leaves stains on my under-eye. This is the best make-up remover I've tried so far! Only a small amount is required.
All I need to do it spread the cream gently around my eyes and gentle circle my eyes while waiting for the product to absorb and remove the make-up... and after that, add some water and further cicle my eyes before I rinse off with water. If I'm using heavy make-up, then I would just have to wet a cotton pad and remove balance of the products. Works like a charm. The best part is that my eye area is not left dry and uncomfortable. Not to mention the price is excellent for it's effectiveness. Good stuff Boots!

Ugh, am I doing this wrong? This remover just didn't work for me! I tried applying this both straight from the tube and by adding some water to it like the instructions suggest but this stuff had a really tough time getting off my waterproof mascara and eyeliner (which isn't WP). I was really rubbing at my lashes and eye area in general and that's never good. Plus, a lot of the product seem to get soaked into the pad pretty quick, so I generally needed to re-apply more, just to do one eye!


It's a bummer. Olive oil and jojoba oil on their own are both great eye makeup removers but this was a disappointment. For some reason, I also love the packaging, even though it's a run-of-the-mill squeeze tube, but the stuff inside was a no-go for me. Not a repurchase for me.

This is awesome. I was looking for an oil-based makeup remover at a reasonable price and this works really, really well. The two main ingredients are organic olive oil and jojoba oil, and it retails for under £5. Boots has offers on the Botanics line quite often also.

To use I warm it between my fingers then rub gently over dry skin. I massage it into my skin and over my eyes for a few minutes, getting all the makeup off. Then I use a little bit of water to emulsify the oil, then wipe off with a cloth. I then follow with an exfoliating cleanser. It gets my skin scrupulously clean and beautifully soft. I don't use it every night but a couple of times a week as I don't want to get my skin too oily.

This is a real bargain instead of paying £20 or so for cleansing oils, and it's much more practical as it doesn't run everywhere. I really love this, just hope Boots doesn't discontinue it!

This product is amazing! It's essentially a cleansing oil in a thicker consistency at a DS price. In fact I think I prefer it to many HE cleansing oils because it it only contains five ingredients.


I use this product all over my face, like the reviewer below. I use a gentle cream cleanser so I wanted a separate product to take off my mu, but not strip my skin and defeat the purpose of using a gentle cleanser. I've actually used many cleansing oils before, but they can be irritating depending on which oils are used and pricey if you only want to use them to remove mu. This product works just as good and it's not irritating or stripping at all. The jojoba and olive oil are perfect oils for dry sensitive skin. The thicker consistency means it doesn't blur your vision as easy either.


I will be sticking with this product for a long time.

Hands down the best eye make up remover I have ever used. Takes a few more seconds than just trying to swab off with a cotton ball and some solution but totally worth it! Removes everything and leaves eyes moisturized and lashes silk. LOVE LOVE LOVE

This is the best eye make up remover I've ever used. I slather a bit on my lashes and eye makeup, rub a tiny bit, add water and massage a bit more... When I'm done I have silky smooth lashes and soft, touchable skin. This does everything. This has similar results to using an oil or product like Albolene, but this emulsifies and washes the makeup away. It is also the texture of Vaseline so it is easy to travel and apply. I highly recommend this product.

I use this to remove makeup from my entire face.

I don't think it works as well as Albolene for heavy duty eye makeup, but for light days it works better because it's not as heavy as Albolene.

You do have to use quite a bit of product for cleaning the whole face and it's not as cheap as Albolene.

I used this a lot in the summer.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! This is the very best eye make up remover I have ever used. Typically, when I make statements like that, the product then goes and turns on me. I hope this doesn't because right now I think it is absolutely perfect and I am thinking of buying three hundred tubes just in case it gets discontinued as tends to happen with products I rely on, like LUSH's Baby Face, RIP.

I have incredibly reactive, sensitive skin, which looks fresh and clear when I'm not putting many products on it, but quickly becomes red and blotchy when I attempt to have an unguent-filled regime. How I love the feeling of rubbing things in and washing them off! But woe for me, there are only a handful of things that keep my skin in top shape.

I don't use much foundation - just on nights out - but I love eye make up and don't hold back. Typically I might wear concealer, powder eye shadow, liquid liner and lashings of mascara. Though my eye area doesn't tend to be sensitive, I am picky about eye make up remover products because of a fear of getting lines. I am a touch suspicious of duel-phase removers as I noticed my fine lines being slightly more prominent the morning after using them. I'll still use them from time to time, making sure I rinse off the residue and apply an eye cream, but anyway, I may not need to as this product blows any other make up remover I've used out of the water.

The Organic Face Nourishing Eye Make up Remover works similarly to the cleansing oils I've used - starts off rich and slippery, and turns into a wash-off lotion on contact with water. Unlike cleansing oils, which are so thin they can get in your eyes and blur vision, this remover is thick, and the consistency of lemon curd, or Burt's Bees Orange Facial Cleanser. I massage this into my lids and lashes for a few seconds and then rinse with warm water. This removes all make up. I then take a wet cotton pad and just clean off any drips that have made their way down my face. Skin is left completely, and I mean *completely* clean, and importantly, plump, moisturised and comfortable. My lines are not noticeable after using this, there is no redness - it is just perfect.

The reason for its perfection is the simple ingredients - olive and jojoba seed oil, glycerin, sucrose stearate and sucrose myristate. That's all! And yet this is the first product of its kind I have come across. Don't hesitate to try this!
