Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Make-Up Remover 3.8 Once

Product Information

One thing to note is that some people find it’s not the most effective for removing waterproof sunscreen and mascara formulas, so keep this in mind if you tend to use waterproof products. This luxe formula is excellent for people with dry skin because it contains nourishing squalane. While it’s not the most convenient or mess-free formula, we love that it doesn’t need to be used in conjunction with a cotton pad, making it a sustainable option.

Whether you’re looking for a great option at an affordable price, or you’re traveling and forgot to bring makeup remover (we’ve been there many times), this is a solid option for you. We love that you can snag it at pretty much any drugstore for an affordable price, but the performance makes it stand out.

This Clinique eye makeup remover is best for people who have dry skin. This product is the more moisturizing (and multifunctional) version of the brand's best-selling Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips as it's designed for full-face makeup removal. In addition to not getting rid of your skin's essential oils, which can happen after applying water-based eye makeup removers, it also contains safflower oil, which is a natural emollient. Emollients work to prevent inflammation and excel at hydrating and smoothing skin because, when applied, they create a barrier that keeps moisture in.

The best eye makeup remover for you is all dependent on your skin type. If you have dry skin, you'll benefit most from an oil-based eye makeup remover, as this type of remover keeps your skin's essential oils intact and adds additional hydration thanks to its moisturizing properties. On the flip side, water-based eye makeup removers are better for people with oily skin who need a product that will help manage the excess oil their skin produces.If you’re interested in trying a hypochlorous acid spray, she recommends the twenty/twenty beauty Easy on the Eyes Calming Face Mist with Hypochlorous Acid. Aside from noticing how little product she needed to remove her makeup thoroughly, our tester shared that the formula felt comfortable on her skin and she didn’t see any residue. However, it’s worth noting that while the formula is oil-free, some people find that the consistency resembles that of lightweight oil. The skin around your eyes is extremely sensitive, and can become irritated easily when faced with friction. Before you start removing your makeup, make sure to wash your hands to prevent any germs from getting onto your face and eyes. Then, if you're using a liquid, apply your eye makeup remover to a cotton pad. Cotton pads are best because they offer more surface area to apply your remover, as opposed to cotton balls. Also, the strands in cotton balls can come apart and potentially get into your eye if you scrub too hard, which can be very painful. While you can use eye makeup remover on the entire face, we don't recommend it unless your remover doubles as a general makeup remover. Eye-specific products may contain ingredients that can clog pores on larger areas of the face. If you want a versatile product for your face, look for micellar waters, cleansing oils, or cleansing balms rather than an eye makeup remover.
