Eye and face makeup remover for sensitive skin THAT ACTUALLY WORKS??

[m4dswine]

Alternatively, sweet almond oil is good, or olive oil.

Basically anything natural oil based will be fine on sensitive skin, and will dissolve waterproof makeup.

I have sensitive eyes as well and I have noticed that Vaseline & Clinque work well
I usually put vaseline on my eyes and them wipe with a cotton ball and the use Clinque's take the day off remover to get any make-up off that the vaseline didn't get

Not knowing what you've tried so far my suggestions would be:
MyChelle Honeydew Cleanser
L'Occitane Honey Comfort Cleansing Milk
Cetaphil liquid cleanser (not the bar)
Cerave cleanser

If you're looking for wipes, try and locate Comodynes Oat Cleansing Wipes (I know trader joes tends to carry them).

Lush's Ultrabland didn't sting my dry, sensitive skin (with rosacea for a bonus) or stupidly sensitive eyes/eye area, but I did find it a bugger to use and could never get it totally off. I think the trick was to use quite warm/hot water to dissolve it, ut I can't use anything over tepid really so I had a definite film. Because of this it did kind of film up over my eyes occasionally...and I broke out big time

I'm a big fan of oil cleansers. I'm fairly careful with the ingredients, and I've never had any problems. I use a local (Australian) organic brand atm, but I've also used Shu Uemura with no problems. I find these literally get any eye makeup off fairly easily and without hurting.

The other thing I use whenever my skin flares up is Darphin Intral Cleansing Milk, and this also gets any eye makeup off without any problems or pain

Plantidote eye makeup remover pads with theraputic benefits from Origins. Very gentle, great for sensitive skin. Takes everything off without you irritating your sensitive eye area. The only thing I use.

Aside from MAC skincare, I ONLY use DHC. They are absolutely fabulous. I have been a customer at DHC for years; everything I have tried (that's a lot!!) I have loved. Deep Cleansing Oil---all the way, trust me

I used to use Lush, and loved Ultrabland too.. just takes some practice with a warm cloth to remove it, but worth it.

I like the Lancome makeup remover, the one in the baby blue bottle. Kind of pricey at $22, but I've never had any problems, ever. I have super sensitive skin too. I think I'm also allergic to gold =[

I second the Cetaphil. I have the worst sensitive skin ever and this doesn't hurt it at all. It gets rid of every trace of makeup (even liquidlast) and leaves my skin smooth and soft. Even if it gets in my eyes, it doesn't sting. I won't use anything else.

Totally agree here. I do use Lush Ultrabland and love it, but if you prefer a liquid product and/or a lower price tag, oils are great.

I love the Almay oil make-up remover, which is great for waterproof mascara and stubborn makeup like shadesticks and fluidliners.

 

[huggablesecret]

My favourite is Clinique's take the day off makeup remover, its so good, its the only thing ive found that will remove liquidlast liners too!

I 2nd vaseline (petroleum jelly). It's never bothered me on my ultra sensitive skin and actually helps calm it down. And it removes eye makeup like there's nothing else... honestly it melt everything away in one go, just rub it on, wipe, and its back to completely bare skin.

I use (and adore) Marcelle's Eye Make-up Remover for Sensitive Eyes. It works wonders for me and takes every little bit off with minimal rubbing. Its a blue bottle thats half oil and half some other liquid so shake-y shake to activate. No burning or stinging here!

 

[lainielainie]

Vaseline to remove eyeliner, shadow, etc, and cetaphil cleanser with warm water works very well for me. I remove the excess with Life brand facial/eye makeup wipes. The cetaphil takes off a lot of makeup and is even good with mascara, and you won't have to rub your eyes too much. Good luck!

 

[user79]

I have sensitive skin and I really like Dove Self-Foaming Cleanser in the pump dispenser bottle.

 

[pinki3]

Laventine.com laventine olive water soluble cleanser. check out their reviews on MUA. works 100% in removing every little bit of your makeup! and great for sensitive skin, trust me. i have the MOST sensitive skin in the world. I swell up like a balloon for days if i get facials or use the wrong products. if u decide to order and need a referral for discount, PM me.

I like Lush Ultra Bland. You would think that because it has a very greasy texture it is clogging, but it is the opposite. It takes off all your make up and doesn't irritate!

 

[lauracbarnes]

I second the MAC CLeanse Off Oil or The Gentle Off Eye Make Up and Lip remove. I use it all the time with my Liquid Last Liner and it does not bother my contacts at all.

DEFINITELY!!! I have been using vaseline for years. Its cheap and works like a charm. Let it sit for a second or two and then just rub off.

HTH.
