This stuff sucks and did not remove my Full 'n Soft mascara.. Umm, and it's not even waterproof. So basically you're better off running your lashes under warm water than using this. I do like their tissue makeup remover wipes though, those are better.

OMG! this is the worst eye makeup remover i have ever used. I might as well use olive oil to remove my eye makeup. It is sooo very greasy and oily and it is very hard to remove mascara. Ugh, and it came in a double pack, I do not want to use this ever again. but I guess I'll have to =( This is bad. I hate this.

I love this product. I was using lancome bi-facil before this and I found that it didn't remove my eye makeup as quickly or waterproof mascara very effectively as the almay remover. I didn't find it very greasy mainly because my lids are dry. I have been using it for about 2 months and will probably repurchase once I'm done. Plus it's very cheap :)

This stuff is horrible!! very greasy and not too effective either. It does an OK job removing my eye shadow, BUT does absolutely nothing in terms of removing my mascara!! i don't even wear the WP kind either! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE stuff!!

Oh my goodness, this stuff was terrible. Whey they say "moisturizing," they really mean making your lids greasy as hell. My lids felt super uncomfortable and oily all night long. Definitely will not be repurchasing. The oil-free version of this is much, much better!

i bought this to remove the waterproof mascara on my lids. it leaves my lids sticky after removing mascara with qtips. there is no pump, which sucks because in order to get product, you have to either pour it on the lid. i bought a smaller container to use this product.

will use until i find a better one.

I picked this up at Walmart thinking it's Almay, it should be decent. Well, let's just say I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews on MUA prior to making my purchase. This should win the medal for the worst eye makeup remover in the world. My makeup barely budges when I use this. My mascara cakes and smears and barely comes off. It is oily and just terrible overall. Just like the other reviewer, I threw out the bottle after just one use, it was pratically full. If they were giving this product away for free, I'd laugh in their face. Don't buy this !!

This is the worst eye makeup remover I have ever tried to this day. usually i do not waste anything if I don't like it, I stick it out or give it away or swap. but this was so terrible I threw it out full. I used it to remove my eye makeup (used a cotton ball) and it left my eye area so oily and disgusting. I had to keep wiping to get the gross oily residue off. I also broke out on my eyelid area with 2-3 zits the next day! It was terrible, because I never break out there. Please stay away from this product if you can.

I thought that this product does what it says. It moisturizes, i agree it is oily but it removes my mascara and eyeliner really well without any irritation to my extreme sensitive eyes. I think this product works better for me compared to Neutrogena eye makeup remover. Maybe because the last time i used Neutrogena i developed a stye.

My eyes did feel more moisturized after using this and it did take off all my mascara with ease. However, it smears my eye makeup a LOT. Its just too much work to get all the makeup off. I won't buy this again. I want an eye makeup remover that works better than this.

I hate this eye makeup remover liquid. Its awful. It leaves my eyelids super oily, I woke up with very puffy eyes the next day. However, my under eye and eyelids did feel softer. Aside that, does it remove the makeup? Hardly!! The oil just smears it around and did not take off my mascara. When I washed my eyes the mascara still leaked from my lashes and barely took it off! The other almay liquid one in purple bottle is better.

This stuff really smears the makeup, stings if it gets in your eyes, and leaves behind a super oily residue that's hard to wash off. I won't be buying this again.

I bought this at Wal-Mart for $5.58. Comes in a nice plastic bottle- 4 fl oz.. That will last me quite a while.
I remove my eye makeup with a cotton ball. At first this product seemed way too oily but it actually sinks into your skin fairly quickly, provides it with a nice sheen and gives it the moisture you expect. Nice product and does the job well. Its well worth the $6.

Gets in eyes making everything blurry, stings, SUPER greasy, doesn't remove eye makeup. Wow. No wonder is was buy one, get TWO free! This stuff sucks, and though I feel bad just tossing it, I can't think of anyone I dislike enough to give it to- lol! Stick with the Lancome or El Makeup remover...

This does get eye makeup and mascara off, however I prefer baby wipes. Sometimes it can sting eyes, and I hate how OILY it is, but other than that it does its ok.

I did not like this product and will never buy it again. It made my eyes greasy, even after I washed the stuff off. I love the oil free version of this makeup remover, however.

**Edit. I didn't understand that this was greasy for a reason. I'm glad I didn't throw it away, because I used it to remove makeup that was put on by a pro for photography and I don't know how I would have scrubbed it off without this stuff. Worked great, but really not for every day use. That is, unless you wear a lot of mascara and lots of lipstick daily.

Still would be nice not to have to tug at the eyelashes to get the mascara off, so I gave it a 4.

So this is the first time I have ever purchased eye makeup remover. I usually use the cleansing cloths specifically for makeup removal but I have not been happy with them as of late. They usually leave a residue and I still have mascara and eyeliner on my eyes. I hate this because I ama contact lens wearer and if any trace of liner or mascara is on my eyes/lens, my eyes get beyond irritated and I have to remove my lenses. I purchased this at Rite Aid yesterday because they were sold out of Neutrogenas famous m/u remover. Anyways last night I applied this to a cotton ball and started swiping. Not only did it get rid of my eye makeup, it didn't even streak. It is a super oily formula(even for me and I have EXTREMELY parched skin) but I just washed my face afterwords and voila! Clean skin and eyes. I definitely recommend this formula.

I will try to do this product some justice here. Personally think the oiliness factor helps remove stubborn eye makeup because other products that aren't dual phased just don't work as well for me. The reason that some people think it just smears eye makeup around may be because they're not using enough cotton to "pick up" the makeup that's been loosened by this solvent. However on days when I don't wear much eye makeup, this does seem to be a bit heavy so I mix some of it with non-oily eye makeup solvent in another bottle and use it as a dual-phased solvent on normal days. This has been a good and cheap way for me to use up all those eye makeup solvents that don't work because they don't have any "oil" in it.

Definitely the worst remover I have ever bought. It is so greasy and oily on my eyelids and the residue hardly washes off even with strong facial soap & water. It does work ok, but I still have smudges of eye makeup around my eyes when I wake up. I switched to this Almay remover after using Neutrogena's, but I will be definitely going back to Nautrogena after this bottle is used up. The bottle packaging is fairly standard, and the price is ok but I hate the oily feeling around my eyes after using this. UPDATE...I kept waking up with puffy eyes every morning and realised that this product was the culprit. Awful stuff.

This stuff is super oily and stings the hell out of my eyes. It also doesn't quite remove my makeup - it just kind of smears it around.
