Removing eye make up for those with rosacea / very sensitive skin

I'm trying to find an eye make up remover that won't irritate my rosacea. The cleanser I use that suits my skin, can't be used to take eye make up off and the brand doesn't do an eye make up remover. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you.

damp cotton wool and nivea blue pot moisturiser

Micellar water on cotton wool works for me. I had Rosacea round my eyes, it's ok at the moment but micellar water was gentle enough when I had it badly.

I can’t use any eye makeup removers so have to use Boots No7 Stay Perfect mascara which comes off with warm water on a flannel (but otherwise stays put all day), kohl liner and loose mineral eyeshadow. All come off with just warm water.

Boots fragrance free eye make up remover, it’s a lotion. It’s only about £2 and very good too.

I use Morroccan black soap and a dual sided washable cloth (microfibre and cotton I think). The soap is made from olive and argon oil so it removes the mascara, but it isn’t harsh.
I follow with serum or retinol and a cream suitable for very dry and eczema prone skin.

Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover. Not cheap but removes everything easily and completely sting free!

Another vote for the Boots Fragrance Free Eye Makeup Remover.
So gentle & so inexpensive. Been using it for years with no problems at all..

I had meibomian cysts which o think were a symptom of ocular rosacea, wear v little eye make up as I'm scared of recurrence but if I do wear some mascara I always use micellar water to remove. Had some organic french stuff which was great but am now on the L'Oréal one and it seems fine too, v gentle but effective

Micellar waters or biphase eye makeup removers sting my eyes, or leave the skin feeling greasy. I’ve tried lots over the years.
The only one I get on with is the Simple eye makeup remover (the basic one).

Peaches n Clean cleansing milk from Soap and Glory - gentle and effective. It is fragrances but only lightly.
