everyone seems to have positive things to say about this eye makeup remover, but i didn't find it to be exceptional. although it's great for removing eyeshadow and works well for touch ups, i find it can never remove dark eyeliner and mascara effectively. it stings on occasion too, and i have to use a lot of the product and rub at my eyes to remove eyeliner/mascara. i'm being generous and giving this remover 3 lipsticks ... but i would never purchase it again.

I did not like this product at all. It left my eyelids feeling oily and when it's swiped across the lids it has a "sudsy" feel to it. Plus, I had to rub too hard to remove the eyeliner. I much prefer Clinique's Take the Day Off.

This is my favorite remover for washable makeup. It's gentle, removes makeup well and doesn't irritate my eyes. It's not at all greasy. I don't use it much these days as I've started wearing mostly waterproof mascara but I still keep it around for when I need it.
UPDATE 9/20/05- No complaints about this product, but I've recently discovered that Neutrogena's eye makeup remover does the trick just as well- for less $! So for now I'm switching to Neutrogena.

I have used this a few times, always when I have gotten it as a GWP. I wouldn't spend money on it. I adore the Paula's Choice mu remover, but Clinique's is a nice product. I wear contacts, and I have never had any oily residue with it. It does sting like crazy if it gets in my eyes, though. All in all, nice enough, but not enough to buy.

I received this as a GWP and was kind of excited because I've always wanted to try it, but could never bring myself to spend the money. Unfortunately, this didn't perform well enough for me to invest. I was looking for an eye makeup remover that would take off all my waterproof mascara. This did not work as well as Almay's non-oily eye makeup remover and is way more expensive. But it did feel very gentle and soothing on my eyes.

I will NOT use any other eye makeup remover. This remover is gentle and takes everything off quickly and easily.

This really does remove my eye make-up, esp. around the corners of my eyes. It's very gentle, and I didn't experience any dryness or any stinging either.

I find this removes eyemakeup/mascara easily, although, I did find it a tad drying. Maybelline's Expert Eyes 100% Oil-Free Eye Make-up Remover (in the blue cap) is actually better and gentler than this, for much less money. Totally non-drying, too.

This is a good product. I like it just as much as Lancome Bi-facil. A little goes a long way and its pretty cheap! I just dip a q-tip into it and swipe my eyes and all the makeup is gone! I also wear contacts and this has never irritated my eyes.

This is just an "okay" makeup remover, IMO. There are drugstore brands that work just as well that are cheaper, so this isn't something I would buy again.

This is a gentle effective eyemakeup remover that does not sting. i get this in my eye quite frequently and i don't experience stinging or irritation. it is effective in removing waterproof eye makeup and has no oils so leaves no residue. it is also fragrance-free and does not leave the eye area dry. i actually prefer this to Lancome's famous eyemakeup remover.

I really like this product and recently went back to it after a particularly horrible experience with another eye makeup remover. It worked for me very well when I wore contact lenses, and didn't make my eyes foggy. Plus, it didn't dry out my eyelids. This solvent really does get all the makeup off. I totally recommend this product!

Well i always get this as a sample in GWP and it's okay. It works great at getting the makeup off, but it seems to make my eyes red and puffy

Best eye makeup remover I've ever used. I was addicted to Maybelline eye makeup remover before I discovered this. It leaves my eyes feeling perfectly clean and cool, never greasy, very gentle.

Wow, this is everything I want in an eyemakeup remover: takes off mascara easily, you don't need to use a lot of the product, fragrance-free, and it doesn't sting my eyes at all. Finally, my grail.
