I like using a cleansing balm and then micellar water to get any remaining mascara. Follow with cleanser. The body shop camomile eye makeup remover is my favourite, very gentle.

Old school cold cream is the only makeup remover I've used that doesn't burn my eyes or lips. It's always worked well for me, even on the waterproof mascara/lipsticks.

I am allergic to those kinds of make up remover’s also. I am 52 and have been using coconut oil for ages.

Clinique take the day off is excellent. But it's expensive, I'd try a sample before splurging on some.

Jeg bruger Derma, fugter vatdronellen med lidt varm vand først..og legger øjenvipperne mellom vatrdonellene og gnir forsiktig.

Jeg bruger multi olie fra eccoking

Minirisk eller Matas striber den alm (ikke den tofasede). Begge er rigtig gode til supersentitive øjne, og ja grøn kolbe i kemiluppen.

Jeg bruger minirisk, kan købes for ca 10 kr i 365.
Jeg har som dig også sarte øjne og den her virker. Og prisen er rigtig god.

Jeg har også meget sensitivt område om øjnene. Jeg bruger The Body Shops “Camomille butter” - en smør agtig makeup fjerner på dåse. rigtig god og skånsom. fjerner også nemt vandfast.

Hear me out, Olive oil. I just put like a nickel sized amount in the palm of my hand and dip my fingers into it and them rub it onto my eyelids and eye makeup. Then, when it's all broken up I take a very warm (not hot, don't burn yourself) wet wash cloth, wring out most of the water and wipe away all your makeup off. No watery, splash mess. Toss the cloth in laundry hamper.

This method is called oil cleansing method and can be used with jojoba, coconut oil if you prefer. Then, I literally put cream on my face, put on my glasses and get ready for bed.

I have dry sensitive skin and it works well for me. My lashes are longer and my skin is less red, softer overall since I stopped using Neutrogena makeup wipes.

Lancome one is really good. Unfortunately it’s pricey :( tbh that’s the only one I have liked so far. Most of them really don’t do much other than irritate your eyes. Try Korean ones, may be they work well

I usually just use cleansing oil to take my make up off (including mascara) and then use another water based cleanser to clean ( basically double cleansing).

Heroine Make by KissMe Speedy Mascara Remover (this will change your life) and Beauty of Joseon Cleansing Balm (I found this to be a great dupe for Lancôme eye makeup remover)

Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Remover is so clutch.

Clinique Take The Day Off--I prefer the original, but it comes in a balm and wipes. Works well on waterproof mascara without scrubbing. A bottle lasts me forever too.

Honestly the target brand up and up has an amazing eye make up remover. Super gentle but extremely effective.

I have found using micellar water to be the most gentle on my skin and I will use a cleaning balm on days my makeup is really stuck on.

Wipes don't clean your skin properly. Try using a cleansing balm or an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, I'd recommend The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm, it's very gentle. If you still need an eye makeup remover, Glossier or Garnier do nice ones.

I recommend using something different for the eyes (I use a makeup wipe for my face then oil free remover for eyes). I take a cotton round and put a generous amount on, and hold it on my eye and leave it for about 10 seconds before rubbing. This significantly helps break up the makeup and you won’t be tugging as much!

Edit: I also have dry sensitive skin and use the target brand of oil free makeup remover. Works well and is cheap!

Baby shampoo! Gets it all off and doesn’t irritate my eyes.

Be sure to always use a clean makeup eraser every time. Makeup eraser sells these small versions that are like little pads. There are 7 for something like $30. Use all 7 and then wash at the end of the week. Go ahead and cleanse as you normally would.

If this isn’t an option, then use cotton pads with a micellar water for your eyes. I also like Lancôme Difcil for eye makeup removal. Use a makeup wipe to take off foundations etc. Then cleanse as you would normally do.

Another alternative takes a note from our grandmothers. Ponds cold cream. Apply ponds cold cream all over your face and rub in a circular motion. Use Kleenex to wipe it off. Then go ahead cleanse yourself face as you normally would.

Good luck.

micellular water, it feels like water but i’ve never found something to take off eyeshadow so quick without scrubbing at it lol

Jojoba oil. You can get a cheap bottle of it at Trader Joe's. It’s very gentle and moisturizing!

Bioderma (micellular water)

Micellar water and then double cleanse. I use an oil face wash first and then a cream face wash.

Cleansing oils. They go on oily and wash off with water. You still have to massage them into your lashes, but you don’t have to be brutal.

Oil cleanser!

Garnier micellar water all in one, waterproof version. Look for the blue on the clear bottle.

I swear by the Banilla Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm. The trick is to massage it over the face until it melts completely before adding water. Once you introduce water it quits breaking down the makeup and just dissolves. I follow it up with a cleanser and good to go.

Have you tried using the Makeup Eraser cloth? I have super sensitive eyes and I've switched to just using the cloth and hot water. It's been a game changer and they have been one of my all time favorite purchases.

The Lancome eye makeup remover (blue bottle) is great for my sensitive eyes. U dont need a lot and they on sale pretty frequently on Ulta.

Same here! My eyes are very sensitive and this doesn't give me any irritation, and it removes makeup really well.

I actually had the worst reaction to it when I tried to take my eye make up off. It stung so badly and left me with blurry vision for a bit. I saw a few reviews on Sephora that said the same thing.

I’ve used Ponds cold cream cleanser (unscented) forever and it’s the only thing that gets all the mascara off. Doesn’t hurt that it’s like $6 for a big jar of it

Also use this because my eyes are stupid sensitive. I also get some dryness under my eyes like on my cheekbones if im using too many products. This is so gentle.

I have eczema and this works for me! My eyes get a little cloudy sometimes but it goes away fairly quickly and it never irritates my sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin in general, and my all time favorite combo is Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover (it’s housed in a blue bottle but it’s clear- no dyes) and Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water with a soft cotton pad- no rubbing, just saturate in remover and let sit on your eye for 10 seconds, then dab away. The Lancome works a treat on waterproof eye makeup, otherwise the Bioderma works well for everything but.

I love the Fresh Soy Cleanser! So gentle!

Have you tried saturating a pad and letting it soak a bit on your closed lid over the heavy part of the make up (with whatever sensitive micelar water or oil free remover). Then you can pat it up with the pads once it’s been removed from your skin or lashes.

Dhc cleansing oil

Not a Sephora, but Good Molecules Cleansing Balm is one of the best I’ve ever found. Never stings and is very effective at gently removing all of your makeup. And it’s affordable.

I use a cleansing balm (Clinique, but there are many) - it works on eye makeup, using only your own hands. Then I take off whatever’s left (mostly leftover mascara under my eyes) with a Makeup Eraser cloth. Those things are made of fluffy material, and super extra soft. They work when wet.

Barely any rubbing, a nice finger massage and a nice soft cloth!

L’Oreal Gentle Lip and Eye Makeup Remover is amazing. Removes my most stubborn eyeliner and mascara. I use a cotton pad. Press and hold on your eyes for 10 seconds. Press and hold then gently wipe. No rubbing required

I second a cleansing balm. I use Byoma, which I got at target for probably $15. I really like it.

Cleansing Bob is great for liquefying make up. You can remove it with a wet washcloth or makeup removing cloth, but you will wanna follow up with a second gentle cleansing using your favorite facial cleanser

Takes me days get glitter off

I use the makeup eraser cloth and makeup eraser cloud cleanse melt balm
