Shopping for a sensitive eyes makeup remover?

How do you find a sensitive eyes makeup remover that actually works? Most sensitive eye makeup removers, while gentle on the eyes, can be so mild that they can’t do the job or budging difficult mascaras, shadows, kohls and eyeliners.

So what’s the solution? Well you can go DIY and get the coconut oil out. This is pretty good at nourishing the skin and it breaks down the tough dark smears from under your eyes, but you do have to clean things up with some extra cleanser. No big deal for those who want to keep natural as much as possible.

However, if you’re after a product that does the breaking down, cleaning and nourishing in one foul swoop, we have a couple of great solutions.

Maria Galland Eye Make-up Remover Lotion 65A – This wonderfully fragrant two-phase lotion, containing panthenol and valuable jojoba oil, removes all types of eye make-up gently and thoroughly, without irritating the skin or drying it out. Even waterproof mascara can be removed without problem. Jojoba oil increases the suppleness of the skin in the eye area. It also gives the eyelashes more elasticity and shine, and prevents them from becoming brittle. Ideal for sensitive eyes and people who wear contact lenses.

Payot Eau Micellaire Express – Cleansing Micellar Fresh Water for Face and Eyes This micellar water cleanses and removes make-up from the face and eyes in a single step. Its cool water texture leaves skin clean, soft and comfortable.

Guinot Hydra Demaquillant Yeux – Gentle Eye Cleansing Gel thoroughly and gently cleanses away eye makeup and cleanses eyelashes while encouraging their re-growth. The eye contour area is moisturized, conditioned and softened while dark circles and eliminated.

P.S. When you do your sensitive eyes makeup remover shopping yourself, just keep an eye out for the ingredients list. If you see anything like sodium lauryl sulfate, or SLS and any fragrance, don’t bother buying it.
