Thread: Awesome eye makeup remover!!

I just started using L'Oreal's clean artiste eye makeup remover and I have to tell everyone that it's amazing!! I had been using the regular L'Oreal remover, which did okay, but never got everything off. The clean artiste stuff does it with one swipe and get this... it's even gentler than the regular stuff! I have sensitive eyes that would sometimes burn when taking off makeup but no more with the clean artiste!

If you're looking for it in stores, it's the green bottle, not the blue one.

I am in no way connected to the L'Oreal line. This is an honest-to-goodness customer endorsement. I just love the stuff that much!!

GTK. I've yet to find a drugstore make-up remover that I like. I hate Maybelline and Almay...now on to Neutrogena, but it's still not great. I'll pick up this stuff next time I am at the drugstore.

thanks for the heads up. i'm always looking for this stuff and nothing seems to meet my expectations.

Awesome! I hate my eye makeup remover. Not only does it sting but it leaves my eyes feeling greasy and gross. I used Clinique before but it's overpriced, IMO.

Thanks for the tip on L'Oreal's Clean Artiste!

For any who cannot find it - one of the other very best-kept secrets of drugstore-type eye make-up remover is ALBOLENE Moisturizing Cleanser. It comes in a fairly large plastic jar, never burns or stings the eyes, and lasts practically forever (one jar will literally last for YEARS because you use such a tiny bit each time). The consistency is sort of like coconut oil - seems almost wax-like in the jar, but when you take a cotton ball to it, it softens up to almost liquid form. The semi-solid consistency makes it easy to just scoop up a bit into a small plastic travel cup for when you're on the go.

Albolene doesn't have fancy or sexy packaging, looks pretty boring and most people I tell about it never try it, but FWIW, I have been using it for over 20 years (trying various other types in-between for variety, but always coming back) and am STILL grateful to the person who turned me on to it.

Thanks for the tip. My eyes are also sensitive to many eye makeup removers, so I'm always looking for one that works but doesn't make my eyes sting.

Avon sells a great eye make-up remover. I LOVE it. Doesn't sting, is creamy and takes the make-up off, I've turned so many folks onto it. And it's inexpensive, $4 regular price.

I've used Clinique and it dries the skin out around my eyes. I've used Lancome and it leaves a film on my eyeball. I definitely will try Loreal as I keep going back to cold cream which is not good either but at least it's cheap.

You know, I love some of Clinique's products, especially makeup because I've had a hard time finding colors to match my skin color, but some of their products don't respond well with my skin. Like their moisturizer and bronzer. Totally makes me break out.

I just use baby oil. It's cheap, doesn't sting, and works great!

i still use good old baby oil!!

I only use their makeup. I use the Dramatically Different Moisturizer on my neck and a tiny bit around the eyes in the winter only because you are right - it also causes me to break out.

Hmmm...Even though it's supposed to be oil-free? I thought I was the only one with this problem :-)

It doesn't have oil but it has other ingredients that are just as "deadly" to oily skin. What they are I can't recall offhand but if I had a bottle I would be able to identify it by reading the ingredients.
