Does anyone know of such a thing? Something that does it quickly too? ATM I use bodyshop waterproof, but it makes my eyes run.
Not too fussed on oil based ones as I think they leave a film on my eyes but last used one years ago so prepared to try again. and also not too £££

Came on here about to post a thread myself about eye makeup remover.
My problem is that I'm using Boots makeup remover pads and I think they are oily, they don't sting my eyes but I think I get an oily film left in my eyes which makes my vision go blurry!! Not good. I can hardly see right now! (please excuse any typos).

So any suggestions for something that won't make my sight go blurry gratefully received!

Sweet almond oil from the supermarket food aisle.
Doesn't irritate and doesn't leave a film - and feels luxurious, just a few drops is enough.
Baby oil can work too.

I've recently been using the nivea make up remover stuff - I think it was a £1 from ocado and its very good.

As good as lancome which I always used to use.

Clinique 'take the day off' for eyes or la Roche Posay linked above. I have v v v sensitive eyes.

i use one called "Your Skin" which is aimed at teenagers but I've been using it for years! i suppose i do still have teenager-like skin sometimes Blush I've only ever seen it in Tesco. It is really gentle but definitely works.

Waitrose own brand "Pure" Eye Make-Up Remover. £1.94. Sooooo thorough and gentle. Smile

I use the Nivea or RoC bi-phase removers which shift my waterproof eye make up without irritation.

Another vote for Boots Fragrance Free one.
Absolutely brilliant, the only one I can use without getting itchy blisters on my lids, used it for years. And only £1.50. Even cheaper when on 3 for2 Grin

Ooh yes Boots Fragrance Free gets my vote too. I have sensitive eyes and very disappointed when I reacted to Body Shop Camomile one. I did love a sample of Estee Lauder Gentle Eye Remover.
