Eye make up remover that doesn’t irritate

I’ve spent so much on different eye make up removers, to try and find one that doesn’t cause pink under eye skin the following day.

Does anyone have any recommendations please? I don’t wear make up all of the time, just when I go out but I hate the irritation the following day.

Thanks

I use Lush Ultrabland or The Body Shop Camomile cleansing balm or oil

CeraVe miccelair water

(Garner) Micellar water and cotton wool. The only thing that doesn’t irritate my super sensitive eyes! Make sure you don’t rub too hard; I just hold it on quite firmly for a bit and then swipe. I use a cleansing balm and an exfoliating wash after micellar water on the rest of my face as well.

I used to react to everything, usually after using something a few times. I now use a make-up eraser (basically a plush flannel) and it's great! I don't need to buy and products, save a load of money and product, and don't reach as you just use water with it.

Another vote for Lancome bi-facil. Pricy but one of the very few that doesn't sting my eyes and removes all my eye makeup easily.

Alternatively Body Shop Chamomile eye makeup remover is similarly non irritating and a bit cheaper. It needs a bit more work to remove all traces of makeup.

Sadly, I've never found anything cheap that actually works and/or doesn't sting!!

Any miceller water one. So effective and gentle - I've been genuinely amazed and even started wearing black mascara as it's so easy and gentle to remove.

I bought it, the one in the green bottle but sadly it makes my eyes sting. Sad
