The Best, Bar None

This is the only eye makeup remover I can use, and it is marvelous. I've tried many brands - expensive, inexpensive, oily, non-oily, special formulation for sensitive eyes, etc. but all of them eventually caused irritation. The Shiseido Instant Eye and Lip Makeup Remover is a miracle - gentle, effective, and moisturizing without irritating my eyes and without leaving a film that interferes with my contact lenses. Can't live without this one!

Glad it works for others

This didn't work for me. This product burns my eyes and the skin around my eyes. After using this, the skin around my eyes is very irritated and feels burned (like a sunburn). I've tried it twice and it happened both times so I won't be using it again. I rinsed it off after applying and feels like there's a soapy residue left behind. It also takes way too much work to get my non-waterproof mascara off. I am glad it works for other people. It just didn't work for me.

By far the best!

I have no idea how I've gone so long without this product in my life. It gets off the hardest of hard mascaras without causing redness or irritation. I even got it in my eye and had zero reaction not even a slight tingling or anything like that. I love how it takes off red lipsticks without leaving the red halo around the lips.

Love this!

I've tried almost every brand, this is the only one that doesn't burn around my eye. I'm hooked and it's all I will use.

A Favorite Product

Works on waterproof mascara (even when you've done it with a heavy hand) and deep/pigmented red lipstick with ease; removes every trace gently. I have sensitive skin, and this remover is perfect. No oily residue at all, and a little goes a long way. Best makup remover I've ever used.

Very Effective

This is hands down the best eye makeup remover I've used. It doesn't leave an oily residue and it easily removes even waterproof mascara.

Love it.

Very effective and without the strong fragrance of Lancôme Bi-facil.

ok for light makeup users

Its great remover for light makeup. I wear glitter makeup and waterproof liner, I found it harder to take off waterproof products.

Love this!

Been using this for years and it's great, removes waterproof mascara easily! Most of all doesn't irritate or sting the eyes, love it!

Best makeup remover, totally worth the price.

This makeup remover is the best. Throughly and gently removes eye makeup with no oily feeling and no sting. A little pricier than some, but you don’t need a lot. I’ve been using it for about 4 months, every night, and still have about 30% left.

the best eye makeup remover

I’ve tried makeup removers from Sisley, Dior, Clarins, Lancôme, Clinique, Estée Lauder, and many others. I’m a big Clarins fan, but nothing beats this one! It’s a little oily, but it removes makeup thoroughly without leaving residue or makeup smudges behind. Best of all, I don’t have to go over my eyes repeatedly. Very effective!

I would not purchase this item again.

A bit oily and I have very dry skin, so that's a lot from me. Caused irritation to the eyes. Is good at removal of mascara, etc
