I think she had recommended Lancome BiFacil? I used it years ago. Works great if I recall, but I think I'd found it left a bit of an oily residue behind (which was somewhat problematic for me when I was wearing contact lenses regularly).

I use Sens'Eyes from Makeup Forever. It's meant to be a remover for sensitive eyes, but works great at dissolving long wear eyeliners (perfect for Nars long wear and Urban Decay 24/7 liners)

I've been using Pond's cold cream for years. I've tried various wipes and cleansers and have often had a slight allergic reaction. I'll stick with the Pond's.

I'm pretty sure it was a brand that could be purchased in a store like Target. The remover that I use is Lancome but lately it has been irritating my eyes so I'm looking to swap it out.

Oh my goodness, that's funny I just came from the bed bath and beyond. It's the only place I can easily find this product. I bought six . I find it to be thorough and the gentlest thing to use on your eyes. And it doesn't sting. Beware of look-alikes the generic brand is not as good… It stings my eyes. And even the Neutrogena makeup wipes are not as good as this product

I use the Neutrogena in the bottle, it's great. Maybe if you cannot find these pads, you could try the one in the bottle, approx. $6. My eyes are very sensitive and I have had no irritation with it. To me, the Lancome is the same only more expensive.

Thanks Mtn! Now to find it!

I've been using Vaseline since I was a teen, just like my mom. Just a tiny dab and a tissue removes all my eye makeup. Its cheap, smooth, doesn't irritate eyes or skin. Now that I think about it, I don't have crowsfeet or bags or wrinkles, and neither does mom. I'm 68, she's 92.

vaseline works great. Or I use a product from clinique.

Another vote for Pond's cold cream!

I remember my mom using Pond's cold cream. It must be good to have lasted so long. My eyes are super sensitive so I'm a bit hesitant to use anything oily. The Lancome that I've used for years now irritates my eyes so I wonder how Pond's would be on my eyes.

Sheesh, the Vaseline might be worth a try if only for it's anti wrinkle effect but I wonder if it would irritate my eyes.

i did find the Neutrogena extra gentle pads and put them in my Amazon cart. I will get some Pond's too and I think I have Vaseline in the medicine cab.

I think that I've tried about everything but I cannot use any oils, my eyes are too sensitive. My sister has used baby oil forever to remove her waterproof mascara. It doesn't bother her at all. You can use all sorts of oils, olive oil, coconut oil, mineral oil, etc etc.

I use Olay face cleansing cloths.

I ordered some from Amazon also. I have the chanel eye makeup remover and I hate the oily finish-- and I still have to work to get the gel eyeliner off.

I should be beautiful for all the crap I've bought the last few weeks.. oh well. Maybe I'll be beautiful next week ;)

I've used Vaseline but find it's a different sort of oily from the Pond's, or maybe it's the thick consistency. Pond's is much lighter.

Ponds was always too heavy and made me break out. I use a face wash with gylcolic acid in it which helps prevent breakouts...imagine, even at my age.

I like the Sonia Kashuk liquid eye makeup remover from Target. No oily residue.

Olive oil.

Mtn, I don't like oil on my eyes either especially since they have become so sensitive. I don't use waterproof mascara. I don't like how difficult it is to remove.

I use Neutrogena in a bottle, too, with a cotton pad.

I use the Clinique non oily eye makeup remover.

I ran out recently and got the Loreal non oily remover at the drugstore and it was not doing the job at all.

mitch, you should try the Neutrogena instead of the L'Oreal. I have not seen very good reviews of the L'Oreal remover. Are you using the green or blue bottle? The green bottle one is supposed to be a lot better.

Alba Botanica fan here. It does the trick, is not oily and is cruelty free!

I find when I try something specially for removing mascara my eyes are red and look irritated the next morning. I don't use a lot of eye make up so it's mostly for removing mascara. I don't know if it's what I'm using or my technique that is irritating my eyes. ???

ag, yes it was the blue, it felt like I was using water.

Maybelline oil free works well for me,. no irritation, they make a oil containing product too.

I use baby shampoo on a slightly dampened cotton ball. Non-oily, gentle, and a bottle lasts a long time.
