Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Review

I've tried many many make up removers in the past, varying from oily products to stubborn make up wipes... This is the only one i've found that doesn't irritate sensitive skin, is oil free, and does the job it's suppose to! Within a few wipes, all black smudges are gone. It's especially good for putting on q-tips and erasing minor mistakes with fine liquid eyeliner, as it doesn't smudge at all! I religiously buy this product and recommend it to all of my friends.

I have short, straight lashes, and using a waterproof mascara is the only way they will hold a curl from my eyelash curlers. An effective eye makeup remover is a must! The most effective ones I've tried have all had a bi-phase formula -- the "oily" part floating on top of the watery. You shake the bottle to mix the two up and use a cotton pad to remove.

The formula of Neutrogena's remover is really effective, although I find it leaves an oily residue -- much more so than its Clarins or Lancome counterparts. Not ideal if you plan on keeping your contacts in afterwards! However, at $15 for 112mls (Clarins is $46 for 125ml; Lancome is $66 for 125ml), that's a minor quibble.

The bottle design is simple and no-nonsense; my one complaint is that the opening is quite wide. It really needs a smaller opening to avoid wastage.

I also don't like that this contains benzalkonium chloride. They've obviously used it at a low enough concentration for it to not be toxic to humans, but it is toxic to marine life. I've started using plain oils to remove eye makeup, but will keep this around as a back up.

I wear gel liner on a daily basis, and this just removes it super easily! It says oil-free but it definitely feels oily, and leaves an oily residue, which I personally don't like, however, I just remove my makeup before I get into the shower so it's no biggie. I usually put some on a cotton pad (or tissue if I forgot to buy cotton pads), and just a little does the trick. I hold it over my eyes for a couple of seconds and when I swipe, it takes off most of the makeup. It smudges some of it, so to get rid of the smudged bits and the liner between my lashes, I soak a cotton bud with it and use it like a mascara wand to get off the stubborn bits - works like a dream! I really like that this remover does not sting your eyes! I've tried the Estée Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover and it stings so much for me, so I was so happy that I could find such a cheap and effective remover! I also like to use some to remove my brow products before washing my face as well - works great and I'd definitely buy it again!

I have to say I think this is a fabulous eye makeup remover.

It makes removing waterproof mascara a breeze (which as we know can be quite stubborn to remove).

I like to leave the cotton pad on my eye for about 10 seconds before wiping the makeup away.

It is very gentle and there is no stinging which is great. But, the remover leaves an ‘oily’ residue after use even though it is meant to be oil-free …so not too sure what it is if it’s not oil?

The only downfall for me is that overtime it left my eye area very dry (skin flaking kind of dry) so unfortunately for that reason I won’t be repurchasing it.

Good price and a little goes a long way so it lasts a while.

This has been my staple eye makeup remover for a couple of years now. The only time I don't buy this is when I've been irresponsible enough to run out completely when my local shop is out of stock.

I wear pretty heavy dark eye makeup daily and this does a great job at getting it all off without having to go to too much effort. That's the biggest plus for me for two reasons:

a) I'm lazy as hell and don't want to be messing around with anything too difficult or time consuming at bedtime.

b) I hate having to scrub around my delicate eye area.

It's a reasonable sized bottle that normally lasts me 1-2 months. I like the simple packaging with the screw top lid too. It makes it easy to get every last drop out of the bottle.

Another thing I like is that the dual phase formula stays mixed together for the duration of the time it takes me to cdlean both eyes. I find it infuriating with some other brands when the formula separates before you go to put some more on a cotton ball to do the other eye. Then you have to muck around putting the lid back on and shaking it up again to do the other eye.

This is my clear favourite of the supermarket brands. I will definitely carry on buying it for years to come unless someone shows me a better performer in the same price category.

I have tried a few different eye makeup removers, but this is by far the best I've used. Decent sized bottle for the price and it gets rid of every trace of mascara and liner. Very gentle too. I usually end up with sore eyes from eye make up removers but this has been great. One swipe does each eye. I'm sold 10/10.

I wear a lot of eye make up and mascara, and I find this product removes it easily.

I use a cotton pad alongside this product and don't really have to use much to thoroughly remove my eye make up. I will tip the bottle upside down, slightly moisten the pad and wipe gently until all traces of eye make up are removed. You don't need to rub hard at all

I find this doesn't dry up my under eye area either.

Definitely recommend this product to everyone!

I have sensitive/comb oily skin and this makeup remover is awesome! Not only does it leave your skin feeling nice after removing product as previous makeup removers just make my face feel stiff and sometimes sore especially when you're constantly trying to get it off *ouch! I wear heavy black kohl pencil & eyeshadow makeup and this remover does the trick every time :) Just a fabulous remover - leaves my skin feeling moisturised too, such a bonus :)

Absolutely love this product! Used it for around 6 months now, it is so easy to use, gets rid of all make up (even waterproof) with ease, and for once doesn't sting my eyes! Leaves my skin looking clean and healthy! Also love how you don't need to use a lot for it to be effective! Will keep purchasing this over and over :)
