The most gentle eye make up remover in the world

Please help.
I have the most sensitive eye lids. If I wear mascara, which I should as my eyelashes are so fair, on removal my eyelids swell and dry out. It's really uncomfortable
And can last for days and days.
It's not the mascara, it's the remover.
I've tried
Blephasol
The Body Shop camomile
Avene ( the best so far but still swells )
Clinique extra gentle
La Roche Posay.
Simple
Lots of different Micellar products - awful reactions Sad

I have tried tubing mascara and just remove with water - even that makes my eye lids red and swollen.

I can't get my eye lashes dyed as my ryes react badly.

First world problem I know but so annoying.

Any emollient ointment designed to be used as a soap substitute. They liquefy as you use them, they lift off the makeup, wipe off with a flannel soaked in warm water. Pat dry. You get not just clean eyes, but everything feels moisturised and soft rather than as though it's on fire.

Best outcome of having psoriasis was finding that one out.

Except diprobase/doublebase. I'm allergic to them.

@LadyEloise1 same here. That Body Shop one stings like a bugger.
I can’t use any micellar water or anything.

The best thing I have found is a cleansing balm,recommended by Sali Hughes. It’s called Farmacy Green Clean and is fab. You massage it into dry skin and eyelids then just rinse off. No need to use a warm flannel although non sensitive people would do.

takes everything off even waterproof. Pricey but lasts forever.

The only thing I don't react to to CeraVe miccelair water. I can't use any other miccelair water or eye make up remover.
