I really liked L'Oreal Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.
It worked really well to remove my black mascara and eyeliner.
It did sting a little when I got it in my eye, but that's to be expected.
It left my eyelids and my lashes clean and without any irritation or soreness.
There was no need to rub with this makeup remover, it wipes off very easily.
This is a perfect 'oops' product: I use this on a Q-tip to remove any smudges or smears I make on my eyes. Its very gentle and I can use it even with my contacts in! Since I use this for a really specific purpose, the bottle lasts me forever. Its also a good, gentle eye-makeup remover for non-waterproof eye makeup. The pro-vitamin B5 is a lash conditioner to help stop the drying/ breakage from mascaras. Smells amazing.
Little secret - L'oreal bought Lancome years back and took this formula from them. This used to be the Lancome non-waterproof eye makeup remover formula. Maybe they tweaked it, but it smells and works the same.
There are two things about this product that I absolutely love, #1, it doesn't smell like makeup remover, and #2, it's oil free. A little while before I bought this product I bought another L'Oreal Paris makeup remover which works amazingly (keep an eye out for my review on that one) but made my skin a little oily, since it is an oil based product. I use it for more heavy duty makeup now. However, when I just have on a simple eye, like what I wear for class or just out, like normal, I use this one.
The liquid is clear, but it comes in a little blue bottle, with a white lid. I was having trouble finding a picture of it, so I'll list here what it says on the front and back of the bottle.
Front:
L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
Oil Free
With Pro-vitamin B5
Back:
Gentle Eye Makeup Remover, enriched with pro-vitamin B5, is exceptionally gentle and perfectly removes eye makeup without risk of irritation. Apply in delicate strokes with cotton pad. Tested under ophthalmological control.
After that it has a list of ingredients but it's really small. This product is by no means perfect, but it's worth using, and worth the few dollars it costs. It's not useful for makeup which is specifically designed to be long wear or waterproof, but it is /really/ gentle on the eyes. I got it in my eye once and freaked out, thinking it would really hurt, it wasn't too bad, I just blinked a lot and rinsed my eye out and I was fine.
