Eye Make Up Remover - Boots Skin Kindly

6 replies

Wondered if anyone can help me ....

I always used Boots Skin Kindly Make Up remover and it was brilliant, took every trace of mascara and eyeliner off and didn't sting. I used this for years.

A few years ago Boots stopped doing this range and the shop assistant told me it had been re-packaged, it was a really horrible plastic bottle and the label always peeled off - but it was still the same brilliant product.

Now it seems they have stopped doing this range - the shop assistant suggested I tried the Simple one. I find this useless - not only does it really sting but takes forever to get my make up off.

I have now tried a L'Oreal one, which is still rubbish, but doesn't sting.

Have any of you had this problem and can you suggest a really good remover? I did once buy a Clinque one, called something like "wipe the day away" which was really good, but didn't really want to spend that much.

the Garnier Simply Essentials one is very good.I have really, really sensitive eyes and it doesn't sting. Marks and Spencer do a really clever eye make up remover. It is in a cotton bud like thing and when you snap off the top the liquid remover travels down to the bud part- very handy for mascara mistakes or heavy handedness with the eye pencil/ liner.

Boots botanics gel one is really gentle, it's about £5 per tube but you only need a small amount so it lasts ages. Often in 3 for 2. I will cry if they ever stop making it!

Boots no7 is brilliant, it's called cleanse and care and is a double layered one that you have to shake and mix before using, just like Lancome Bifacil. It is equally good, if not better. I would never go back to lancome as it is eye wateringly expensive. I always buy it when they have the £5 off no7 voucher, and it comes to £2.25 with the voucher.

eye make up remover- has anybody else used the Marks and Spencer eye make up remover cotton buds - they look like cotton buds but have eye make up remover in them. Ingenious for clean ups around the eye.

I also recommend the Garnier one and have been using it for years myself and wouldn't use anything else. I have very sensitive eyes and this one removes even the toughest mascara and eyeliner without being heavy, sticky or irritating.

boots botanics one in a bottle is my favourite,it has to be shaken to mix it but it does a fantastic job at taking everything off,eyes are not irritated and only about £4/£5.
