I have very sensitive eyes so I need a gentle product to remove my makeup. For years, I used the Nivea gentle eye makeup remover, mainly because it is very cheap and I don’t feel like spending lots of money for a makeup remover. The Nivea one never irritated my eyes although it takes ages to remove my makeup, esp. waterproof mascara so I decided to try something else. L’Oreal Gentle Makeup Remover for Eyes and Lips is only €4,48 so I thought I’d give it a try.
This remover is bilayer. The top layer is blue and contains oils that remove your makeup while the bottom layer is clear and is a refreshing lotion. You need to shake the product until you get a homogeneous color before using it. It removes all my makeup very quickly, even waterproof mascara and red lipstick! Unfortunately I didn’t find this remover to be very gentle and it did sting my eyes a bit.
Summary:
This product removes waterproof, long-lasting makeup quickly and effectively. Unfortunately it isn’t very gentle and it stung my eyes.

I’ve tried this before and I didn’t quite like it either. Maybelline has a similar one and that worked a lot better
We don’t have that product here in the U.S but L’Oreal has the best makeup remover in the drugstore. Usually, I add some oil to my makeup remover and it works as well.
I can vouch that it does sting the eye a bit, but this is the most affordable and cheapest eye and lip make up remover that works. Aside from Maybelline though who’s from the same company
The next that everyone raves and says it works is Lancome Bifacil, I have to try it to see to believe 
ouch! stung the eyes? LOL i use equate make up removing wipes! Cheapest thing there is and it works. Plus i’m lazy and wouldn’t wash my make up off, so I just swipe and I’m done! LOL what a bum
oh.. it stung your eyes? i wonder why mine didn’t..
Connie: I had great expectations about this, it’s a shame it’s irritating. I haven’t seen the Maybelline one here but I’ll keep an eye out for it, I’m curious to try that as well.
Dao: I had heard great things about L’Oreal makeup removers so I was very disappointed this one irritated my eyes. It would be a great product otherwise. And thanks for the tip.
Nikki: I was really disappointed that it stung my eyes because it works very well, removing makeup was so easy. I heard raves about Lancome’s one too but the price is putting me off. I might have to try it now though.
Jessica: I haven’t used makeup wipes in ages! I should probably start using them again, they are so handy and cheap.
Sab: lucky you. You probably have less delicate eyes than I do.
