I need some advice from all of you product junkies out there. I need eye makeup remover. However, it seems that my eyes tend to be very sensitive to your ordinary run-o'-the-mill brands from the local Wal-Mart. I have most recently used L'Oreal. I thought it was okay, I guessed. BUT, to my disappointment, my eyes did not get used to the burning and so I stopped using it. It seems they are either too greasy or too astringenty (even a word...I think not, but you know what I mean), they burn my eyes and the skin around my eyes.
SO...my challenge to you...find me an E.M.U.R. that is non-greasy, easy on sensitive skin, and WORKS...oh, and easy on the pocketbook would be nice, too, but I'm willing to bend a bit on that if it's worth it!
My eyes are waiting...

No suggestions here - sorry!
ReplyDeleteIf you want something from Wal-Mart, try Almay brand. They make hypoallergenic remover, and they even make little round pads already soaked in the stuff - it's in a small, round, jar-like deal, but should be right there with the Almay section. I have sensitive eyes, too, and never had trouble with that. More recently I've used Este Lauder brand which was great but pricey (cheaper at the BX than a dept. store, but still over $10). Now I'm using a Clinique remover that is for eyes/lips, mainly because it was at the BX and a bottle lasts me forever. It's okay, but I don't think I'll be buying it again!
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a fan...but I used Mary Kay for a while. As far as eye make-up removers go, I liked it. I have a sample I can pop in the mail for you if you would like. Hope you find something.
ReplyDeleteCharla,
ReplyDeleteI'm really sensitive-skinned too. I am allergic to almost everything that touches my eyes, so I just use baby oil then soap and water. But way back when I used Mary Kay's version, and it's the only thing in the entire Mary Kay line that I'm not allergic to.
my 2 favorites are:
ReplyDeleteClinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent $14.50
and
Arbonne About Face Wipe Out Eye Makeup Remover $19.50 but you can get it for 35% off
Charla,
ReplyDeleteI used Kiehls eye makeup remover. I used to use the whole Kiehls skin care line until Alli introduced me to Arbonne. It is good stuff: www.kiehls.com
I would have to second the Clinique suggestion. I have big time allergies, especially with my eyes, but I can use their eye makeup solvent and not itch or burn. And it gets it all off, too!
ReplyDeleteI third the Clinique suggestion. I have used it for years and it doesn't seem to bother my sensitive skin! Hope this helps! :-) stacie
ReplyDeleteCharla, I used to use the Almay brand because of eye sensitivity. Now, of course, I use BeautiControl Lid and Lash Bath and have no problem with it. It is $9.50 and seems to last quite awhile. I also thought I needed water-proof mascara which is much harder to remove. I have recently gone to the Volumizing Spectaculash which can be removed with water. For what that is worth, my experience, and remember, I'm old! dp
ReplyDeletei just use the clearasil daily face wash. not a scrub or exfoliater...just the plain old face wash that comes in a tube. it takes everything off at once including my eye makeup. i keep it in the shower and use it at night and during my shower every morning...i'm pretty sure it says for sensitive skin on the bottle!
