Love this stuff!

This is the best product I have ever tried for removing eye make up as it does everything you could possibly ask for. It is easy to use, works effectively and doesn't sting your eyes with harsh chemicals.

The size is really good and as you only need a little each time, one bottle will last you ages. The price is great as well. Overall, no complaints and will keep repurchasing unless a better product comes along (although I doubt it).

Tips: Try not to use too much as it can leave residue around the eye area.

my past love

This is my ex-every-day-product (I used up about 4 bottles). Although I am no longer using it, I highly recommend it to any ladies out there who are seeking a good make up remover. Here's why I love: + it works so well on both lips and eyes + It's safe for sensitive skin + it's light and does not give an oily feeling afterwards

However, there's one thing I do not fancy: the bottle has this huge neck and I found myself constantly spilling the remover liquid which is a waste

Tips: I use a cotton piece to absorb the liquid and avoid spilling, sometimes I use a cotton buds to remove mascara.

Cheap and effective

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.

Tips: Leave the cotton pad on your eye for around ten seconds to let the remover dissolve your eye makeup more effectively. This avoids rubbing and tugging at the skin.

This is sometimes on sale in the supermarket for around $10.

Great product

I find this make up remover to do a great job and doesn't leave my face real thick and oily like other removers.

Tips: I like to use this to clean my make up brushes with

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

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.

Leaves Skin Feeling Oily

An amazing product yes and I use it everyday and will continue to use it, but this product proudly claims it leaves no oily residue. It does. However this is not a problem for me as I tend to wash my face anyway after using it to make sure all my make up is gone. It sure does remove waterproof mascara quickly with minimal eye rubbing which I love though!

Tips: Wash face after using to remove any left over oily feeling from the make up remover.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

It's the bottle that never seems to disappear! Used sparingly, can last a very long time. I prefer to dab a little on the corner of a warm flannel opposed to using cotton wool (sticks to eyelashes!) then i'll wipe away residue with the flannel

Gentle and effective

It removes my makeup without irritating my eyelids. It works well on waterproof eye makeup even though it takes a few extra wipes. It is claimed to be oil-free, it does leave an oily feel, (it is the oil that removes the makeup, not a big deal). It does not dry out my delicate skin around my eyes, does not sting my eyes. Highly recommend.

Tips: Shake the bottle before use

Effective

This makeup remover is very effective, just a small amount on a cotton pad and one wipe gets most of my eye makeup off - and I go fairly heavy on the gel liner and waterproof mascara. I do find that it leaves an oily feel behind on my skin which I am not a fan of, though it dries up fairly quickly, it does mean that I can't use this to help fix up mistakes as it smears things around and stops me doing anything for a while. I also find that if I leave it too long on the pad it seems to evaporate and I need to pour more.

I wish it wasn't just a screw off cap - as you only use small amounts a squirt bottle or even just a smaller neck for pouring it out would be great. I've lost a fair bit with rushed pours. Frustrating.

Tips: Be careful when getting product from the bottle. I usually will hold the cotton pad on the neck and quickly turn the bottle over and back upright.

My go to make up remover

Love this product!! Easy to use, and leaves my eyes feeling moisturised. It's great as its oil based and doesn't irritate my eyes. Gets my eye make up off perfectly. I only use it around my eyes though as it seems to oily to use anywhere else

Tips: Buy it
