Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Review

I use waterproof mascara religiously as I wear contact lenses. I have always struggled to get the "dregs" off my lashes with make up removing wipes. I happened to see this product on sale for $12.99 and decided to give it a go - best decision ever.

Application: Use a cotton circle and get a good cover of the product on it. It does it magic easily without having to flood your face with remover. No need to scrub or scrape, just wipe over your eyes and lids. For more stubborn mascara a quick rub back and forth is best.

Finish: All liner, mascara and shadow gone - a cotton circle per eye is a good guideline.

Bottle: Easy to use, small and compact without having to purchase one each week. I would like a flip cap rather than a screw though.

I have short, straight lashes, and using a waterproof mascara is the only way they will hold a curl from my eyelash curlers. An effective eye makeup remover is a must! The most effective ones I've tried have all had a bi-phase formula -- the "oily" part floating on top of the watery. You shake the bottle to mix the two up and use a cotton pad to remove.

The formula of Neutrogena's remover is really effective, although I find it leaves an oily residue -- much more so than its Clarins or Lancome counterparts. Not ideal if you plan on keeping your contacts in afterwards! However, at $15 for 112mls (Clarins is $46 for 125ml; Lancome is $66 for 125ml), that's a minor quibble.

The bottle design is simple and no-nonsense; my one complaint is that the opening is quite wide. It really needs a smaller opening to avoid wastage.

I also don't like that this contains benzalkonium chloride. They've obviously used it at a low enough concentration for it to not be toxic to humans, but it is toxic to marine life. I've started using plain oils to remove eye makeup, but will keep this around as a back up.

I wear thick gel eyeliner everyday. And this small bottle tends to remove all of it at once (except for the eyeliner stuck between my lashes). Extra gentle formula is a bonus. It didnt hurt my eyes at all when I accidentally touched my eyeballs with the cotton pads (silly, but we all know it's not just me!) Such a great product- The only thing that stops me from buying is that now I use cleansing oil to remove all the make-up so I really don't need a separate bottle just for my eyes . If I wore a light make-up, I would definitely use it again.

This really works on any type of eye product you have on! To me this is very similar to lancome bi-facil eye makeup remover, so at a fraction of the price you are better off with this one. I must be like on my fourth bottle - it does what it is supposed too and is sooo gentle. On the daily I wear eye shadow, liner (liquid, gel, waterproof) and DollyWink volume mascara (if you haven't tried this it is the best but a pain to take off). It all comes off with Neutrogena's remover.

It says it's oil-free but it feels oily... funny that, but it's not a biggie. You are meant to rinse off afterwards anyways. I use it before jumping in the shower.

Highly recommended eye makeup remover!

I wear gel liner on a daily basis, and this just removes it super easily! It says oil-free but it definitely feels oily, and leaves an oily residue, which I personally don't like, however, I just remove my makeup before I get into the shower so it's no biggie. I usually put some on a cotton pad (or tissue if I forgot to buy cotton pads), and just a little does the trick. I hold it over my eyes for a couple of seconds and when I swipe, it takes off most of the makeup. It smudges some of it, so to get rid of the smudged bits and the liner between my lashes, I soak a cotton bud with it and use it like a mascara wand to get off the stubborn bits - works like a dream! I really like that this remover does not sting your eyes! I've tried the Estée Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover and it stings so much for me, so I was so happy that I could find such a cheap and effective remover! I also like to use some to remove my brow products before washing my face as well - works great and I'd definitely buy it again!

This makeup remover is very effective, just a small amount on a cotton pad and one wipe gets most of my eye makeup off - and I go fairly heavy on the gel liner and waterproof mascara. I do find that it leaves an oily feel behind on my skin which I am not a fan of, though it dries up fairly quickly, it does mean that I can't use this to help fix up mistakes as it smears things around and stops me doing anything for a while. I also find that if I leave it too long on the pad it seems to evaporate and I need to pour more.

I wish it wasn't just a screw off cap - as you only use small amounts a squirt bottle or even just a smaller neck for pouring it out would be great. I've lost a fair bit with rushed pours. Frustrating.

This is an affordable makeup remover that is fragrance free and comes in a large bottle. It takes off the most stubborn lipsticks and waterproof mascaras. You shake to activate. It doesn't clog pores, is safe for contact wearers m, and is gentle/ soothing. I'd recommend it!
