Pros -- no stinging, contact safe
-- don't need lots of product (4-5 wipes full eye makeup with primer, shadow, long-wearing eyeliner and waterproof mascara),
-- no black leftover in the morning,
-- inexpensive
-- Less slimy residue than Neutrogena's dual phase one.

Cons -- slimy residue all dual-phase removers leave, so not great if you don't wash your face after use and bad for spot correction when applying make-up.

I was looking for a new make-up remover, because I found Neutrogena's dual one great, but it leaves a slimy finish and leftovers in the morning if you don't wash your face. I tried Sens Eyes and L'Oréal Dermo-Expertise Absolute Make-Up Remover at the same time. Same result EXCEPT, Sens Eyes needed less wipes (3), but a bit more product, dry finish and 3x the price.

About as effective as water at removing makeup, yet if I get it in my eyes it burns like crazy. :( Would not buy again.

I have this in the waterproof and longlasting. I bought this cause i have trouble removing by current obsession....longlasting and waterproof makeup.
I find it very greasy when i apply it to my face, but it does get the job done very well, literately 2 sweeps and the makeup is completely removed.
I love it for one more reason which i recently found out, when you leave the remaining oil on your skin at night, you wake up with glowing skin, NO JOKE!
I love using this now...but it does ruin my pillow sometimes :P
But overall i like this product, its great at removing the stubborn makeup leaving you with glowing skin!

I use this eye make up remover with the waterproof version. It removes any oiliness from the waterproof version and any remaining eye makeup.

It's ok. Works better than some. It is effective in removal, but I find it oily and heavy on the skin. I'm glad it is out there and easy to find. It is reasonably priced. I know I will buy it again, but can't help feeling that there must be an eye make up remover that contributes more to the care of my skin and eyes. I know I'm demanding...

This is probablely the best eye makeup remover in drug store!!!
I've been using this for a long time, and I tried other eye makeup remover, too. I love this the most!!!
It removes waterproof eye makeup and it is very gentle!!!
Im using it with cotton pad, just tap remover on cotton pad and put it on your eyes for 30 seconds, I know it seems long but in this way, you won't stretch your skin, everyone knows skin around our eyes are more sensitive.More stretch means more wrinkle....

So I will start of with the positives; this is very gentle as the name suggests so much so that there is no burning or stining if you get it in your eye. The actual removal action is mediocre meaning you need to use it a few times to get everything. The real downside of this one is that it irritated my skin badly! I had a huge excema flareup around my eyes and burning and stinging the day after using it. Avoid this one if you have sensitive skin!! I will now go back to my Mary Kay oil free eye make-up remover as not only does it remove eye make-up better but it also doesnt cause any nasty reactions (eve if it is a little more difficult to procure)

It just doesn't remove makeup. Unless you use a cotton bud and drive it into your eyes, and even then its probably the vigorous scrubbing with the cotton bud thats more effective than this.

It clearly does not remove eye makeup (even a light application), which really annoyed me as I wanted to experiment with a few makeup looks and then use an inexpensive remover to take it off and try another. However this just burned, I'm not sure how it can be 'suitable for sensitive eyes' unless this was tested on those fake googly eyes you can get in craft shops.

Packaging is terrible, I don't understand how you can dispense it properly - it's essentially a squeezy tube like you would have a sauce bottle. That can get pretty messy if you're eating, and definately bad for anything makeup wise.

I am also surprised to see the low ratings! This is one drug store remover that actually does remove waterproof makeup. It also got rid of the gluey gunk from wearing falsies that other removers left clinging to my natural lashes. As long as you shake it - it's not too greasy I found it minimally
requiring work.

I use it only on my eyes, as the oils could cause breakouts on my sensitive skin so I use a scrub or toner to remove foundation etc. For this type of product I would prefer a different bottle design such as one with a twist off lid as this one something gets the liquid in the top part and drips a little bit. That's my only complaint though - great bang for your buck!

Not oily enough to break down makeup, therefore requires lots of rubbing, which then in turn causes redness and irritation. Not worth it!!! Rubbish!

Wow, very surprised to find this product rated poorly. This takes off all of my waterproof eye makeup relatively easily and so gently. Leaves lashes conditioned also. I must read on to see what everyone's problem with it was but for me, thumbs up. For the people who are finding this doesn't work for them, I'm wondering if they're shaking the bottle with each use? You have to mix the 2 levels of ingredients for it to work.

Since this was the first make-up remover I bought, I really didn't know how good I had it until I tried other awful ones that burned my eyes.

I love how it's so gentle, yet it takes ALL the make-up off with once swipe without tugging and pulling. I can't say more good things about it :)

Needless to say, I will be buying this again and will never stray since this is my HG make-up remover.

This is really great product. I use a lot of mascara and this always gets it off easily without pulling at delicate skin in that area and a great price. Does sometimes sting the skin a little - my skin is slightly senstive.

The one I use has a layer of blue oil on top..It is pretty useless... Takes a lot of time to remove my makeup.. Especially mascara and eyeliner. And even if my eyes look makeup free after using this and cleansing my face.. I still end up with raccoon eyes the next morning. May be cheap, but not really worth it since you need to dunk quite a bit on the cotton pad and doesn't work well.. Also, it stings my eyes a little after using this. The Neutrogena one is better.

This is a review for L'Oreal Eye Makeup Remover (Oil Free)

What an amazingly effective eye makeup remover! I was a fan of Lancome's Bi-Facil, but was feeling a bit overextended with my finances and decided to purchase this one at the drugstore instead.

It is less perfumely than Lancome Bi-Facil, which I see as a positive thing. It still has a soft,light scent but isn't heavily fragranced.
It has more of a watery base than Bi-Facil--it clears off every smidgeon of eyemakeup and mascara, but isn't sudsy or greasy like Lancome Bi-Facil.

I am very careful about what I use on my eyes as they are sensitive. I also had Lasik, so I am that much more careful than ever--I like that this is a gentle product.

Noting that I do not wear really heavy eye makeup. I do wear mascara and eyeliner daily but don't use a lot of shadow. This removed the shadow that I do use beautifully, but I cannot speak for how effective it would be for people who use really, really heavy makeup.

All in all, I am sold on this product. It is only about 5 bucks at Walgreens which is a savings of about $20 over the Lancome and it is a better product--what is not to like? This one is a keeper

Tried this after someone on MUA said it had the same ingredients as the more expensive Lancome Bi-Facil for eyes. It works the same, I'm pretty sure it is the same (this is clear, the other is blue though).
I am on about my fifth bottle as it goes quite quickly and the entry hole is not well designed but still, j'adore.

I was really impressed with this product for the price! It clears my eye make-up away with very little effort! I've tried a few pricy and rated products such as Dior, Chanel and Lancome eye make-up removers but this is just as good if not better than any of those!-As it doesn't leave you all greasy and within the first couple of wipes i'd say 95% of your make-up has been cleanly removed with very little effort. Its the sorta thing i'd used to remover eye make-up when i've just been experimenting and playing with different looks in front of the mirror and don't want to waste or use up my more expensive removers.

I have had no problems with this product it works really well for me. I find with some eye removers you really have to rub your eye quite vigorously to remove the make up which leaves your eyes quite red and sore.I use about 3 drops of this on a cotton pad and then gentley swipe over my eyes. My make up comes off pretty easily. Does not leave any redness. Very good product.
